Yes. I don’t have kids though. Also I work in games so I can persuade myself that I’m doing market research or whatever

As far as I know they can all act as a bootleg external wifi adapter though (via USB sharing)

Take the 9950X3D, your kid should thank you. It fares much better in games that are poorly optimized and should otherwise be just as good if not better than the Intel one.

C++ is home sick, currently the doctor (compiler) is not sure whether it’s got the flu or a terminal cancer.

Yeah first though when I looked at this was “wait isn’t this literally the sex couch ?”

You could even do that on the player’s model specifically. But it’s still a maybe, you’re almost guaranteed to get some cursed bugs due to every preexisting code having been made with right handedness in mind.

I’m sure animators are internally screaming at the reasons why this will make some originally right handed animations look off but that’s not my area of expertise.

In reality it’s probably not the hardest thing to do gameplay-wise, especially if you’re doing it from the very beginning of the project, but I don’t think you can simply mirror animations (and some animations-related logic) and have it look natural, so you’d have to make dedicated animations and possibly logic for left hand strikes, right hand blocks etc. which would obviously be much more expensive. But yeah that’s probably what Minecraft does now for example, and since they have a very low level of detail on player characters and their animations it looks alright.

As a gameplay programmer, I got anxiety from reading this (and I think the animators are already in a fetal position on the floor)

I just got stealthier at it

Yeah I’m not asking questions about the technical stuff I’m actually interested in to an HR drone

Not using one with my fairphone, it’s bulky enough already, the entire back is replaceable for cheap and the frame looks solid. I dropped it quite a lot, including on some hard surfaces, and it’s only made a few superficial marks, like it scraped the frame’s shiny coating in that spot, but that’s about it.

I do use screen protectors though. They’re cheap and are not as intrusive as cases. Just changed it after years of service actually, the thing was all fucked up with scratches and missing glass everywhere, and the actual screen under was absolutely spotless.

IIRC Signal stated that they can collect IPs of some users if asked by a judge but that’s about it (not retroactively). Which imo also further proves that they actually value privacy without using it as an excuse to make money from people doing truly evil shit

It might be correct behavior but when there are laws in place to force the company to comply, actually having the data is a problem.

Also, making it harder for pedophiles to find each other and groups where they can share their shit is a good way to defeat all the shitty “think about the children” laws that European countries are constantly trying to pass to make encryption illegal

I legit swore off the entire OS when one of my teachers forced us to use macOS + X code to write Objective C code

Agree. I used a ton of different IDEs too and I can say Rider was the least terrible one I’ve used professionally (mostly on Unreal Engine projects, so having the thing not kill itself when trying to compute large, complex codebases for syntax highlighting/autocomplete was a requirement).

Gotta make sure you get as much plastic as you can out of that sip

Does that sticker say “no God, no State, no cable salad” in German ? Because that is peak Lemmy.
