    The closest thing we have to this is probably protondb but I’ve never seen any super in-depth tweaks from users there. I’m also not 100% sure if they have non steam games posted there. If they do I imagine there’s not exactly a ton of posted guides by users



  • I think it depends on the reason you do not use it. The Luddites were primarily frustrated over automation displacing their high-skill job with low-skilled ones that produced worse quality goods. It’s a 2 for 1: we are losing the jobs we need to survive, but also we lose the personal touch from the work of artisans + lose appreciation for their talent.

    I am not carte blanche against AI as a concept, but it really does seem like a technology that makes interactions worse quality, more depersonalized, and on top of that it has a horrible externalized environmental cost which benefits nobody in the long run.

    Addendum: I believe technology has the power to be liberating when it provides for all of us, and oppressive when it concentrates wealth+power into the hands of moguls and tyrants.



  • Allow me to make a hackneyed code block diagram

     • <- rotational center
     |
     |
     +👈<<<  <- pounds (force applied at radius)
     ⇡
     feet (distance from center)
    

    Because the final unit is a combined feet×lbs, it’s subject to the commutative property of multiplication. For example, 89 foot-pounds of torque is equivalent to 89 pounds of force at 1 foot away from the rotational center, or 1 pound of force 89ft away from the rotational center.

    I typically imagine it by putting a weight of x pounds at the end of a 1ft wrench held perfectly level, idk.

    In my experience, you find out BONTO! had a security breach via an Ars Technica article published around 4 months after the fact because the data was found on the dark web. Zero correspondence from the company itself except in rare circumstances

    I don’t disagree that they’re different terms, but I personally know a bunch of people who buy sorbet and call it sherbert, and basically use the terms interchangeably

    In the US, I’ve heard it called shaved ice/snow cone if it’s freshly ground ice with flavor added by a person, popsicle if it comes in a single serving, and sorbet (often pronounced “sherbert”) if it comes in a tub. Usually sorbet tastes the most uniform and has the softest texture, but shaved ice at the County Fair on a hot sunny day hits like nothing else! (Also hits your wallet like nothing else too but that’s event pricing for ya)

    Sometimes we call the squeeze tubes otter pops but I’m pretty sure that’s a brand name we use as a generic term.
