Definitely not ai. This is classic human trying to imitate bad ai

In my experience it’s much more likely to CAUSE frame drops than mask anything in a good way. It sure masks visual detail though

Motion blur in film does that, but with video games, in every implementation I’ve seen, you don’t get a blur that works the same way. Movies will generally blur 50% of the motion between frames (a “180 degree shutter”), a smooth blur based on motion alone. Video games generally just blur multiple frames together (sometimes more than two!) leaving all of the distinct images there, just overlayed instead of actually motion blurred. So if something moved from one side of the screen all the way to the other within a single frame, you get double vision of that thing instead of it just being an almost invisible smear across the screen. To do it “right” you basically have to do motion interpolation first, then blur based on that, and if you’re doing motion interpolation you may as well just show the sharp interpolated mid frames.

On top of that, motion blur tends to be computationally very expensive and you end up getting illegible 30fps instead of smooth 60+.

It’s available but not flourishing last I checked. Just to be clear I’m not denigrating it at all, I desperatelywant it to flourish. I pay for nebula, too, as well as patreon for many of my preferred creators, in the hopes that they can explore alternatives to YouTube. Hell, I pay for floatplane and dropout too, as much as I hate the fractured environment it’s creating, I want the most direct way to support the content I watch, but YouTube is almost certainly still my most watched platform

I just keep hoping it gets bad enough for something better to flourish in its place

Wow those are some major changes! It’s been a long time since I’ve tried emulating PS2, looks like it’s time to try again

Likely changing the “active” flag or boot stuff, but as the other commenter says, if you aren’t 100% confident, disconnect the scsi

More unconstitutional garbage

It is racist for that to happen either direction.

Thinking eve is just short for evening is so wild to me. Is “Doll” short for dollar? Is “her” short for Hershey’s kisses? Come tf on

Yeah I just didn’t have it in me and meant to go back for it lol.

Sure but what’s the actual action there? Implementation of a wealth tax? What property counts for that? Is there some other technique he/you are talking about? Taking a loan will now count as income?

So instead of banning tipping you mean removing minimum wage exceptions for tipping.

Fwiw a lot of restaurants worldwide are starting to include an obnoxious 12+% “service charge” that can be “removed” if you have a complaint. Basically, enforced tipping that wouldn’t be changed by your “ban tipping” plan.

I definitely agree hard with more emphasis on removal of after-the-listed-price fees

Exactly my thought. This may as well be a list that has one bullet point “* fix America” without a lot more detail on most of these

Do you think wyoming deserves to be a state? Every state gets the same representation in the Senate and I think that’s fair. I don’t think it’s fair that the proportional side of the legislature isn’t proportional anymore, though, and fixing that goes a very long way.

• ranked choice voting - ok I think we can agree here
• Mandatory voting - how? Currently voting is handled state by state, you want to make the federal government take that over? What would the punishment be for not voting? Frankly I disagree with this
• Universal vote by mail - even more how? Again, federal takeover of voting process? How do you ensure no votes are lost especially when someone will be punished for not voting?
• Voting day national holiday - definitely agree.
• Legalize marijuana - this takes a lot more than just saying “marijuana is legal now.” Are previous marijuana related convictions going to be overturned, if so how? Are marijuana sales going to be regulated? If so how?
• Legalize prostitution - similar questions as with marijuana
• Revert citizens United - certainly agree here but that’s a big fuckin how? It was explicitly the supreme court overruling a law passed by Congress. Amend the Constitution to say something explicit?
• Abolish corporate home ownership - very strange stuff here because you start touching on the above, too. Maybe more you’re looking to cancel corporate personhood but that comes with a huge amount of problems too
• Abolish electoral college - sure why not if you’ve solved the voting issues above
• Abolish gerrymandering - this is what made me make this response in the first place. You can’t just say “abolish gerrymandering” without some plan for it. That’s like saying “abolish borders” like it’s meaningful. How? Who decides what districts look like? Will there still be districts? If not how will representation be determined?
• Abolish filibuster - I think the filibuster is fine. If everything else on this list goes through, hopefully we have meaningful ways of ousting useless obstructionist politicians instead
• Merge Senate into house - why? What does this solve?
• Remove house rep cap - FUCKING agreed. The cap is unconstitutional and absurd
• Universal healthcare - lots of hows here too but Obamacare was a good start and I’m down with single payer
• Universal basic income - how much? Does it count toward the 50k below?
• Income up to $50k untaxed - fine. I also think any monetary amount in the legislature should be increased by the CPI automatically every year. Fines, limits, payouts, etc.
• Ban tax prep - hmm ok
• IRS files taxes for citizens - how does this work? Is tax code flattened to make it so citizens have no choices to make? Do things like tax credits for buying solar panels go away?
• Vat for luxury items - who decides what’s luxury?
• Supreme Court 15 year limit - disagree, the whole point of lifetime terms is to prevent getting what’s yours and getting out.
• Increase highest bracket tax - sure why not
• Collateral for loan is realized gain - expand?
• Abolish PACs and lobbying
• Politicians banned from stocks - so they can’t own shares of any companies? Or they just can’t trade while in office? Does this go for any elected official? More than just elected officials?
• Municipalize Internet - at a minimum declare it a utility. What’s the rest of the plan?
• Abortion constitutional right - I’d argue it already is one, though the supreme Court evidently isn’t in agreement. An explicit “bodily autonomy” amendment would be nice. Add a right to privacy to that too, expanding on the 4th.
• Ban tipping - idk if I agree with trying to codify what should be a cultural change, but I’m generally on board with the Idea. There’s a million loopholes to close in any language to this effect
• free financial education - just like… Government funded seminars? Mandated high school courses? What do you take out to fit this in?

The mantle is between 500-4500K, meaning most of it is hot enough to glow at least a dull red.

You don’t say lava is black because once it cools down it turns black…

Digital millennium copyright act. It effectively moved the burden of proof for copyright infringement from the copyright owner to the accused, short-circuiting the existing IP laws, among other things.

It is where much of the drama around copyright online stems from. It’s used as a way to quickly stifle anything someone posts that’s something you don’t like.

It made circumventing DRM itself illegal, even if you’re not breaking copyright by doing so (even if it’s for your own research or backups).

Best era of the Internet was before the DMCA. At the time it passed I knew it would kill a lot of my favorite things about the Internet and I sadly wasn’t wrong

Fucking exactly this. We have levels of corruption, inequality, poverty, etc on par with countries like Brazil but our violence stats are compared with countries like Norway.

Nobody should be okay with taking away personal defense options when every day we see corrupt, inept, and abusive police officers with guns that we should apparently depend on instead of ourselves with guns. It’s absurd.
