Look for other advice for repairing them, but making your couch feet bigger and softer with tennis balls or felt should prevent it from worsening.

Oof.

Where’s that?

I’m gonna be honest, if they used a feature that wasn’t ready for prime time, it’s still on them.

Eh, their benchmarks were so garbled with DLSS-corrupted data that I can’t really say.

One think I know for sure is that the 5070 is quite a bit of money for a 12 GB card.

Servers and bandwidth aren’t free. Someone needs to pay for it. There are roughly seven ways to fund a website:

• Complete volunteering, and maintainer pays all fees out of pocket. Only makes sense for very small projects, or when the maintainer is rich and has a great deal of passion or otherwise self-interest in the project.
• Strictly fund the website with donations. That’s more or less how Wikipedia works. It can be hard to make ends meet, and it typically only works if your website basically offers community service like a charity or if you have very passionate users.
• Freemium model: most users are just leeches and are subsidized by the few who pay for the premium version. This is more or less how free-to-play video games work, and some newspapers survive this way. It can be difficult to convince people.
• Members only: you literally cannot use the website unless you pay. A lot of SAAS websites, especially for businesses, work this way. It can be a hard sell for a lot of service categories.
• Ads. Sometimes combined with a freemium model, where you can pay to remove the ads. YouTube works this way.
• Sell user data to advertisers or more sinister entities. Only possible if you have valuable user data to sell. Most social networks get a significant portion of their revenue from this method, but they typically combine it with ads.
• Use venture capital to disturb an existing market at a loss, get massive mindshare and maybe even kill existing competition, and jack the prices up to repay your debts and turn a profit once you have customers and the market is more favourable. Airbnb works this way.

What would you do for review sites? News sites? Video game wikis?

Wouldn’t it suck if a wiki for an old game was just gone because there aren’t many players anymore, and now you just can’t access the info in it?

I kinda wish we’d kept the name chariot. It sounds more epic.

Any ideas for ad blockers that work with a blacklist rather than the contrary?

I don’t want to harm the revenue stream of websites I visit unless their ads are unacceptable. So I want it not blocking ads by default. But I’d really like a way to block the website-breaking ads at Fextralife Elden Ring wiki. That shit is crazy; it breaks the search bar until EVERY ad (including autoplay video, even though I disabled autoplay video in settings) has fully loaded.

I do almost all of my browsing with Firefox for Android.

Even without ranked choice it would be an upgrade to be rid of the college

Will that ruin my phone’s battery?

Also what if I’m someone poor using an extremely basic smartphone to connect to the internet?

Sorry. Did a direct translation of the French name without thinking.

I’d never questioned it before now, but … How come the towers move? Who had that idea?

The jesters moving diagonally because they’re whimsical I guess but the towers are quite odd.

So it’s called xlarge… And it makes files smaller.

Why.

It’s not only major cities that ought to have good public transportation. Basically everything except small villages and rural communities would have all that in a sane world.

But yes, over 80% of the population of most developed countries live in a city.

It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to get it.

In case you don’t get it: autism and autumn are similar words.

You’re making me thing: can we still do that (change the OS to Windows or Linux) with the new Apple silicon Macs?

All of those issues sound like things the game developers should figure out solutions to. If there’s a boring behaviour that results in boring gameplay and people can’t do much against that unless they have overwhelming skill… Yeah sounds like a problem that they need to solve somehow.

Because games should be fun.

Holy shit, I thought people were exaggerating when they said spam calls had gotten out of hand. I didn’t think it was that bad.

Oh yeah often. But there’s a decent proportion of my dreams where I’m not me; just some sort of fictional my brain made up for that night.

And about 80% of the time, if there’s romance in a dream, it’s not me. My brain has trouble fathoming a romantic story with me in it and I can’t fault it for it.
