I think most of these players aren't real :( they're bots, I catch them teleporting to certain places, also as soon as I sit down in their spot they get up, and it seems real players don't they just continue sitting.

I know you meant well but...

"It deletes empty folders" and "Let me know if this is a problem for you"

NEVER DO THAT. I know you meant well, but the first rule of any program is to NEVER automatically delete something without informing the user. NEVER. Users keep empty folders for structure, reminders, or placeholders because software will dump files into it later when it's run. If it was there when they zipped it up, it should be there when they unzip it. Otherwise they'll check the before and after and it will show some folders missing, create confusion, and the user will run off trying to find out if anything else is missing.

Example: A user zips up a program. Some programs are coded to look for a folder and dump files into it, if the folder is missing the program will fail. I've had that occasionally over the years. Not all programs will recreate a missing folder.

Loot Boxes are like Pokemon cards, you buy a pack, don't know what you're going to get, and then you can trade or sell them. Banning this is just preventing kids from developing a proper risk/reward instinct later in life.

(-_-) You can CHANGE the light reflection algorithm in Unreal Engine from Lambert to Oren Nayar. Google "unreal engine lambert to oren nayar light reflection" you have to modify files, but it's doable.

You don't always need background music during narration.

This was a hilarious read. The ideology of the writer suits the website. If you want to see someone disconnected from reality, this is the place. Ironically they have no Black people on their team, once again, it's almost all white liberals.

I just came here to tell you how beautiful your color scheme is. It immediately reminds me of the color of the paper of money. The layout and color scheme look professional, trustworthy, tried and true, traditional yet modern. It's gorgeous!

Too Late. Synology and Unity are learning a very hard lesson. When you screw over your customers, then reverse course, it often causes long term damage because people got a chance to see your true behavior and feelings towards your customers.

And if you did it to us once, you're capable of doing it again. To me personally, the "Synology" brand is permanently tarnished. For them to do what they did signals serious moral problems with their decision makers, and the entire move sounded desperate for profit. Just type "alternative to synology nas" and you'll get a whole bunch of options.

Hi, Thank you so much for this. Brutalita is PERFECT, I edited the BGRP letters and will be using it for a new game I'm working on. I was just looking for something like this, kinda futuristic but minimal and simple. I love it.

Hot Take: Youtube is terrible. It's a time sink that's filled with billions of videos that take 15-20 minutes to talk about a topic that's worth only 1-3 minutes of your time. Text is skimmable and easily absorbable, Video is not.

I'm honestly still shocked there isn't some kind of lawsuit or federal investigation on how Microsoft is able to get away with dropping support for CPUs that are only a few years old. Thus forcing unknown millions of people worldwide to upgrade an ENTIRE CPU and Motherboard just for the next version of Windows. What are we supposed to do with all that e-waste?! People who spent thousands on a 32 core threadripper from 5 years ago are now suppose to just... throw it away and buy another 32 core threadripper?!

None of the 7 computers in our house have processors that are supported. Just the AMD Threadripper 2000 series and earlier that launched in 2018 (just 7 years ago) are not supported. That's a massive amount of CPUs about to hit ebay probably at huge discounts.

I'm hoping the Linux community takes advantage of this moment and focuses heavily on converting Windows users to Linux + Bottles.

YES. I get constant Deepfake Oprah and Joe Rogan ads on YouTube. They know about it. They just don't care. Google can easily demonetize channels, block videos, anytime you talk about something controversial (Covid-19 vaccines, Jan 6, election denial, etc...)

A few years back when people were talking about Q-Anon / Pedophile celebrities thousands of YouTube channels were taken down simultaneously of anyone, ANYONE, who was talking about it. "Mouthy Buddha" on YouTube had just 2 videos on the subject and had his channel taken down and was never allowed back on. They all migrated over to BitChute at the time. The YouTube press release claimed about 10,000 videos and their channels removed.

So Google does have ways of scanning content and banning the scam ads, they just don't want to.

Ah yes the vibe shift where the people's lives who were ruined and censored was magically undone around Nov 2024.
