70% of the time, bloom is garbage, 25% of the time it’s garbage and is covering up other graphical issues. 5% of the time, it gives some nice depth to light and emphasizes brightness differences, even without HDR.

I think you missed the reasoning behind the “dead” part.

If the hammer doesn’t bounce when it hits, it’s not as lively, and lands like a dead body.

Well it does have a claw, but it specifically has the nail holder.

Large corporations are overly litigious. Individuals can’t afford to be litigious enough.

Did you know my profile picture is a Windows Vista background? I didn’t until a few months ago.

As AliasVortex@lemmy.world said, all parts of Factorio are mods, and can be enabled separately. The Base mod, which can’t be disabled has the vanilla game; the Quality and Elevated Rail mods, which are from the Space Age DLC but can be activated whenever; and the Space Age mod.

I don’t know which mod is responsible for changing science and recipes though. Coupd be either side.

This exactly. I don’t speak latin and don’t want to.

It would be really nice on less powerful hardware too. One picture gallery can eat all my RAM real fast.

Because vampires can’t cross boundaries without permission, the answer is no, they can’t come in until allowed in.

I’m sorry, do you think bikes are incapable of slowing down? Do you think walking should be protected as a hobby? Do you think the answer to better transportation is less transportation?

Your answer is to get a car or wake up at 4:30. I’d love to have an actual bike lane where I can go faster, but that’s not always possible. If the only acceptable place for a bike is dedicated infrastructure, bikes will never be used.

Reckless driving is one thing, but excluding bicycles from 99.99% of North America is a crazy reaction. It’s difficult to even find data about pedestrian-cyclists collisions; based on hospital data in the UK only 2% of pedestrian deaths or serious injuries are caused by collisions with bicycles, while 96% are caused by motor vehicles.

If you’re so worried, make sure to support public transit and cycle infrastructure. I’d love to use separate lane pathways, or even better light rail, but until then I need to bike and not die.

When 2 tons of metal guided by tired humans that can barely see me while going twice my maximum speed less than a foot away from me is a “bike lane”, I’d rather walk than risk death at far too early in the morning. Especially when that “bike lane” is broken up by parked cars.

At least give me a curb. A protected bike lane is the bare minimum I’d wager my life with, even with the danger of right hooks. Those cars could instantly kill entire families, and you want me to ride next to semi trucks, separated by paint?

It’s party marketing, yes, but it’s also Quality of Life features. Windows either has a setting you can find by farting around in the settings or it doesn’t work. Linux can have every setting, but most of them need CLI work, research, and the wherewithal to unfuck whatever you fucked.

If CLIs could be listed, explained, and parametrized in a simple GUI, it would make learning them 10x easier. More default scripts for unfucking things would also help (like Window’s old troubleshooting wizards). More status checking and better error messages, so one can tell when something is broken without manually inspecting every module.

It’s gotten much better, and will certainly improve by necessity if more average users pick Linux up, but it’s a step that has to be taken before Linux sees a major marketshare, regardless of marketing.

Yeah, GO is kinda UBI already, isn’t it?

I think one of the benefits of Land Value Tax is that an empty lot costs as much as a highrise or factory. It heavily disincentivizes leaving a property undeveloped or poorly developed, like with parking lots or abandoned buildings.

That being said, it would also put pressure on underdeveloped properties, like your home on a street with rising property values. Some limitations would almost certainly be necessary.

This could also be solved with better zoning, but most of our social problems could be fixed with better governance of some kind. Land Value Tax is one of the proposed methods that would need less fixes to make work and (hopefully) be harder to co-opt for wealth extraction.

I’d accept trying anything though, instead of more tax cuts and funding cuts.

Of course nothing fruitful could ever emerge from your pizza, you reject those flavours!

I had meant flights of U.S. planes, but you’re right, they usually use and establish local airfields, and probably only use carriers where that’s too slow or impossible.

So to be fair, I’ve read the original comic, and it probably was just focusing on the negative aspects of airshows.

What a lot of people get from this (including me) is the absurdity of military shows. Air shows are less ridiculous because planes are capable of some incredible things, but it’s still unsettling. Like gun shows or parades of duty.

We have advanced many of our societies to such a point that we might be able to do away with weapon worship entirely, so I think it’s sensible to be uncomfortable with venerating the trappings of dictators and despots.

I kind of agree that militaries are still necessary, but there’s a big difference between an unfortunate but necessary thing and a celebrated thing.

The difference between an F-15 and an angle grider is that the F-15 is intended to hurt people. Pulling an angle grinder out of your coat isn’t as intimidating as pulling out a knife, even if the angle grinder could do more damage. Yet both angle grinders and most knives are tools used to create. An F-15 can only destroy. It can’t carry passengers, can’t fight fires, can’t deliver supplies, can’t advance science, at best it can do acrobatics while being incredibly expensive. It’s nothing more than a weapon.

To be entirely fair, even without military aircraft the U.S. would meddle in international affairs. The air force doesn’t specifically enable these killings or infrastructure damage. It is however a popular and representative method of international war, and I don’t think that’s something to celebrate.

Most people don’t like living near even civilian airports. Active duty flights would’ve usually happened nearer to the front, and modern flights often happen from aircraft carriers anyway.

Much more common for people to hear are shows of force, like the States do for holidays, airshows, and large sports games.

The comic is making fun of the fact that an airshow idolizes machines of war. Not all airshows focus on military craft, but most of them do, often being held at military airbases.

As cool as they are, it’s good to remember that those machines are instruments of death, and often used against people of no immediate threat. Regardless of the necessity, I don’t think that’s something to cheer for.

Drogue chutes are good too, especially for stabilizing a craft that really wants to make like a lawn dart. Using them I can make Duna landings with only a few seconds of thrust from a soft touchdown.

Repacking can be tedious though…

I have an app that does that on my S8, but it’s definitely not official support.
