You are right, it’s all very impressive tech, but most UE5 games still suffer from TAA. Maybe at 4K+ it looks great, but at lower resolutions it’s like the screen is coated in a thin layer of Vaseline. The push for realistic graphics, left graphical fidelity behind.

This is a good example of how powerful hardware is now and how games that run like shit don’t have much excuse other than horrible management.

To be fair, I don’t remember the last time I had mobile signal without any sort of internet. The coverage pretty much overlaps these days.

Not globally, the world will just cut off America.

I don’t use lemmy, so I don’t have to suffer it’s UI. I use Mbin/Kbin and the UI is almost perfect with the settings I changed, I get like 8-9 posts simply laid out with a little thumbnail and the title, no useless features or buttons. Just like old classic reddit, just slightly less compact.

But this “Photon UI” looks absolutely disgusting, I get it might be how the modern web is, but modern isn’t always a good thing, especially when talking about UI/UX.

Cod used to be whoever shoots first wins, it’s a bit grim now with all the sliding and shit.

I’d recommend Squad over Hell Let Loose, if you want that hardcore team game.

The thing is, there’s not a lot you can do to be an alternative to cod, without it straying too far and just slowly dying like XDefiant. Cod is just too big to die, even when the games are actually just DLC, people buy buy buy.

The only alternative to cod that stands any chance is a remastered old cod. Ubisoft trying to battle cod was a blunder, but so is every decision at their headquarters recently.

Maybe. For me the worst change they made was removing custom colours for my contacts.

It was so much easier to convince people to use Signal when it had SMS support. I think while Signal needed to drop it, it wasn’t the time yet.

Totally didn’t see that coming…

Using ML upscaling does not qualify it as a 1440p card… what a poor take.

It is more and more true as each developer looking for them shiny games switch to UE5 and dont bother replacing its shitty ghosting and blurry TAA and ML upscaling crap.

Graphical fidelity isn’t becoming more expensive, games (generally AA and AAA that target ‘realistic’ graphics) are just increasingly botch jobs. Games look worse than they did 10 years ago, on hardware that is like 5x more powerful.

What has this got to do with handhelds though? Handhelds will require studios to actually make their games properly again (I hope).

Because adjusting the entire PC volume for one video is silly. I have the volume set how I like for everything, so having to adjust that everytime is annoying, when like every other video sharing site has a volume control and it remembers the level I set.

Yeah it’s all good. But it is not a mobile app, it’s a ‘web app’ able to be shared on desktops, so it needs a volume control.

They could disable the volume slider on mobile devices I suppose, they can link to the actual volume of the device anyway, so it would just be an alternative to pressing the buttons.

I have an idea, let’s make a video sharing website and add no volume control at all!

Fuck my what?

The second you upload any data to Strava, it isn’t yours anymore.

I track my own activities in foss apps for this reason.

It’s a shitty logo update, as is the case most of the time these days, but yeah it’s not worth getting worked up about lmao

Effective November 11, the updated API agreement introduces three key changes that provide Strava users with greater control, security, and a consistent experience: 

Stronger Privacy Standards: Third-party apps may now only display a user’s Strava activity data to that specific user. Users will continue to have access to their personal Strava data across apps connected to our platform, though there may be differences in how this data appears.

Data Use Limitations: Our terms now explicitly prohibit third parties from using any data obtained via Strava’s API in artificial intelligence models or similar applications.

Protecting the Strava Experience: Additional terms have been added to protect Strava’s unique look and feel and functionality, helping users easily distinguish between Strava and third-party platforms.

Not that I use Strava or think anyone should, but the title is misleading no? It still allows third-party apps to still show you your own personal data and bans third-party apps from using that data in any machine learning.
