Endorkend, (edited ) to world in Greta Thunberg detained at The Hague climate demonstration
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

You need both.

Some people won't ever hear anything about the issues until they see some weird kid do these stunts or see that someone their age can have a word in the discussion too.

Others are more likely to pay attention to scientists, the type that read more intellectual literature.

And then there's those who won't ever change their mind because they've been spoonfed corporate propaganda and thanks to religion and just generally being dumbasses, are perfectly primed to be managed in this way.

Endorkend, to politics in Top Republican says party base "infected" by Russian propaganda
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

Even in porn I haven't seen anyone take so many loads with that much gusto as the Republican, NRA and everything related to the right wing has for the past several decades.

Endorkend, to world in Israel’s Brutality Is Increasing—and So Is Its Denialism
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

The chokehold Israeli Intelligence / Propaganda wing has on reddits worldnews subreddit is freakin depressing (and scary in how total it is).

Post anything even remotely critical to anything Israel did and within minutes you'll have a dozen downvotes and people outright warping reality in their response to you, all on relatively recent accounts that only ever respond to posts related to Israel. They aren't subtle about it in the slightest.

And stories like them murdering foreign aid workers on purpose just get magicked away.

Endorkend, to technology in Activision Blizzard’s ex-CEO Bobby Kotick reportedly wants to buy TikTok
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

I tried TikTok some time ago and got bored with it.

I'm the type that prefers long form content. I watch 20-240 minute videos on YouTube,

I never got into Vines or the Vines/TikTok clone thing YouTube is doing either.

So most of the crap I see from TikTok is here, on Reddit and Mastodon.

And normally only the most entertaining crap from a platform gets to other platforms and I'm not impressed by what I've seen, at all.

Well, TikTok can't get any worse, right?

Endorkend, to gaming in Switch emulator Yuzu shuts down as creator agrees to pay Nintendo $2.4m
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

Considering they were making enough to agree to pay 2.4 million to Nintendo, they were making bank of the emulator.

If it went to court, this would've been much much higher.

Endorkend, to world in 16-year-old killers of transgender teenager in England sentenced for 'sadistic' murder
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

The thing that hit me with sadness most (aside the horrible murder) is that when you see pictures of Brianna, her eyes are full of life and happiness.

And then you see pictures of these two, devoid of any spark. Dead inside.

Endorkend, to technology in Your next Windows PC may need at least 16GB of RAM
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

Even as far back as XP/Vista Microsoft has wanted to run the file system as more of an adaptive database than a classical hierarchical file system.

The leaked beta for Vista had this included and it ran like absolute shit, mostly because harddrives are slow and ram was at a premium, especially in Vista as it was such a bloated piece or shit.

NTFS has since evolved to include more and more of these "smart" file system components.

Now they want to go full on with this "smart" approach to the filesystem.

It'll still be slow and shit, just like it was 2 decades ago.

Endorkend, to gaming in Twitch "isn't profitable" admits CEO, in wake of recent layoffs
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

Imho you're wrong there.

Amazon has every incentive to write down Twitches infrastructure cost as far higher than it needs to be, to make Twitch look unprofitable.

Both to audience and shareholders. It'll allow them to force more advertising and push up sub prices while making the main corporation revenue look better.

This while the long term plan looks to be more about getting an excuse to shut down the public facing side of Twitch and get rid of having to deal with the streamers and viewers as direct clients and renting out streaming infrastructure to other streaming sites instead.

They want to condense their streaming services to simply be simple products they can sell or rent out to other sites rather than having to deal with a load of consumers and legal liabilities that come with them.

Why did Polygon include the CTWC video at the top of their page instead of BlueScuti's?

They are already stealing his views reposting his entire video with some bullshit commenting from them over the top of it and now Polygon is supporting that kind of behavior.

The kid did the work, give him the damn views.

Endorkend, (edited ) to games in If successful, Intel's next generation Battlemage graphics cards will benefit all gamers
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

The A770 is actually fantastic, even more so for the price.

What was garbage was the drivers and they've come a long way in bringing them up to speed.

They had and to some extent still have a rather gigantic hurdle to cross getting older games up to speed, but the decision to employ at least partial Vulkan translation instead of trying to get DX9/10 drivers up to speed was a huge leap already.

For modern games, when they are at least tested to run on the Intel cards, they perform on par with cards from AMD and Nvidia that cost $150+ more.

And no, this isn't coming from some Intel fanboy, I haven't bought an Intel CPU since Coppermine and for GPUs I've simply switched between what was the best for a specific priceclass at the time I upgraded. And whenever something really new came along, like Kyro3D and PhysX cards (and now Intels GPUs), I bought those too.

Also realize that Arcs ray tracing engine beats AMDs and keeps up with Nvidias in their first iteration of the chip.

Their tech is sound and fully has the potential to be a competitor.

Endorkend, to games in PlayStation U-turns on removal of Discovery content people had paid for
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

Uhm, it says it reached a new agreement with WB that makes the bought content available, ""for at least the next 30 months".

When that license expires and the PR winds are right, they'll remove it permanently.

You still didn't buy what you bought.

Endorkend, to linkedinlunatics in I will NOT protect your company secrets. Also you should hire me.
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

I generally agree unless the idea is actually something groundbreaking, which in 99.99% of cases, it isn't, even remotely.

When it's actually something groundbreaking, the person having the idea should have some protection to actually get rewarded for the idea.

I've been in companies where tradesecrets were stolen and it can seriously fuck a company.

The execution doesn't matter when a third party can undercut your price by 90%+.

It's gotten far more complicated that that, but we can keep it with "Suspect of running a (or multiple) charity scams, eventually paying a token amount that is only in line with reported revenue, not with revenue that can easily be checked from the vods of the charity streams.
