  • It’s because game logic is calculated on real frames and these things lower the real frame rate even though they give you more rendered frames. If you were getting 40 real FPS, and then you go to 30 real fps, you will feel a significant amount of lag even if you are getting 60 fps in fake frames. Basically the game loop is running slower and stuff like input polling is happening slower even if you have a higher frame rate.


  • It depends a lot on the person involved. People vary a lot. A fair bit of women like the traditional female role but many don’t. They do tend to make relationships toxic in the modern day because being viewed in those terms, men have very little value in the modern economic games. Dating a man was more appealing when that meant you could just be a stay at home wife and raise children maybe, also maybe work part time when the kids grew older. Now there is little reason to date a man. It means mostly giving up your entire life for essentially nothing, having a roommate really. It might lower costs a bit but at the cost of taking on tons of risk and exposure and losing the sole claim on your property. The amount of women seeking traditional relationships far outreaches market capacity. Around 10% of Americans are doing well financially, even less than under feudalism in relative terms of social status. Half of Americans are basically in poverty. This means that even traditional relationships are probably not going to be good, as any man who has that kind of money probably has about 9 other options besides yourself as a woman. Men also just don’t really have a good place in modern society.

    Pseudocapitalism and corporatism is so antihuman in so many ways, from fiat currencies creating high tax burdens making property ownership very unrealistic, to the very low economic efficiency making workers spend most of their time at jobs to get anything done, to the ruling class being full of actual morons who stay in wealth forever because of fiat currency and the stock market always returning more than what anyone else can expect to gain over their life, giving them infinite leverage to start one bad company after another to essentially move money and debt around. They spend tens of billions on propaganda and political advertising to keep power, while your average American is struggling decade after decade and has no political group to represent their interests as a working class person.









  • One good solution might be decentralized webhosting and infrastructure. If people want high speed access, they have to seed it at a low rate. Nothing crazy is required just constant seeding at low rates. A few max connections and a cap of maybe 50KBps min is required. You also use random hash checking against multiple clients to verify correctness, and you have p2p blacklisting of known bad actors. A solution for people who don’t have steady Internet access might be to just seed a similar amount on quota or to buy p2p credits to access the content.

    This is part of an idea I have been working on for an internet 2.0. There is a basic cryptocurrency called compute coin, and as you seed you mine coin. The verification works by utilizes many nodes to verify everything is working correctly. You can buy coin that people mine instead of seeding if you wish. A very small portion of each transaction, a fraction of a fraction of a percent goes to a nonprofit who works on the tech and fomalizes the standard. You can also just buy compute time on the network. People are free to sell their resources at whatever price they want and the market balances itself automatically. The transaction fee is calculated automatically to cover the budget of the nonprofit which oversees it. DNS is also handled p2p. If I were in control I would also make it mesh network friendly, with sliders to prioritize what the user wants, from latency, vs avoiding certain countries, vs cost, vs using a whitelist of trusted nodes for security purposes.

    This would also require swarm security to prevent any one user from being able to sniff out keys and passwords and stuff. Basically the network would work together to generate periodic temporary keys to allow machines to access the data for a period of time without revealing itself to anyone. The nonprofit would be the only completely trusted authority and it would have a board who oversees banning of nodes and the money seized would go to support the development of solutions and strategies to combat any fraud on the network. This seems expensive at first, but with Asics this can be made very cheeply. I imagine people would want to run different types of nodes to generate currency. Asics would be a good cheap solution. It’s a market that will build itself very quickly. You can also have verified nodes that cost a bit higher then average probably to access but can provide additional security for certain tasks. These can either be crowd sources or run by institutions which publish node lists.

    If the law wishes to regulate it, this could only be achieved by region specific keys and would not be network wide. Courts might have to set up a way to subohena resources that gets registered in a public domain that gets released to the public after a year or so, in order that citizens can verify what the government is snooping on.

    It can also be used for free by just having a algorithm automatically determine mining rates to pay for the use of the user, with a buffer to keep a seemless experience.

    Perhaps for this particular problem however you could just set up a p2p platform with file verification. People could offer free nodes, businesses could pay money to these nodes to get access to high speeds and large amounts of bandwidth. People can also join p2p nodes where what they can download equals to what they contribute to the network. This can just be estimated based on average use and maintained with a buffer if people really don’t want to seed all the time.



  • Who cares? The average EU citizen will benefit far more from the regulation. I don’t think any of their laws have been bad so far, mostly requiring standard connectors, requiring user access to install what they want without apples permission, and monopolizing software stores in general. This might be a great opportunity to actually get some consumer friendly competition out of Europe for once. Also Samsung already allows third party app stores, has USB C like every other modern device, and allows side loading. It’s going to get interesting once Google starts complaining that they can’t control users devices after they buy them as well with their upcoming ban on non Google approved software installations.



  • You need to keep in mind that everything on the internet is surveiled these days, and there is a strong possibility that your local police department will find out about you buying these things. You can get in serious trouble like years in prison trouble with years of probation and fees after you get out, and prison and probation is not a good place to be. If you are going to sell weed, you need to evaluate the cost benefits analysis of this. How much money do you honestly expect to make to balance the huge risk you are taking? Selling slightly above the cost is not worth it. If you are going to sell weed then you probably should try to make a lot of money off of it and then quit while you are ahead. This can maybe make the risk worth it if you value your limited years on this earth in money. Personally I’d rather just work a normal job, and just buy weed. It’s extremely cheap. I don’t smoke anymore but the amount of weed id have to grow to make this a rational decision was not something I was willing to do. Also I don’t want to live in prison for years eating bologna sandwiches made by drug addicts. Prisons are disgusting and horrible places.



  • None of these are correct except maybe the last point. Idk why you would want Photoshop or any of that trash on your PC anyways. The only software that doesn’t work on Linux is software that’s intentionally designed to not work on Linux, and as private companies who own the software copyright there isn’t much you can do. That isn’t a fault of Linux. You can probably run them in a VM if you really must use those programs. I don’t use them for ethical reasons because I refuse to support software companies that try to force their users onto windows.

    Also Linux is not insecure. Most of the world’s servers run on Linux. I realize you probably don’t understand this. The vast majority of malware targets windows and android anyways. Linux is very secure if you have a firewall like everyone has had for the past 30 years. If you are running a server with open ports then you need to be aware of what you expose to the internet. This is true for any operating system that isn’t hand built and has known exploits for its software.

    Also antivirus does work on Linux, I’m not sure why you would say that, or why you would even want antivirus in the first place. You could just maybe think for a moment before you install something, it’s really not that difficult. Idk why you would run random stuff on your machine that you don’t trust or believe is trustworthy at least. You can always run it in a container. I think what you are misunderstanding is that antivirus isn’t popular on Linux, not that it doesn’t work. You kind of evolve past the need for antivirus by the time you learn to use Linux. You are free to use it if you want however. It just slows your system down and probably creates a lot of vunirabilities in your machine, and is essentially useless if you aren’t downloading stuff from shady websites that say stuff like, “Download Photoshop for free today!” You are kind of asking for malware at that point.

    Also the idea about Nvidia or gaming not working is also not even remotely true. I play many games every night on my 1070 running Linux. It works fine, and I’ve never had any issue with it. I’m using the proprietary Nvidia driver though. If you are using the open source one that is probably your issue.

    Anyways if you are going to shit on something, maybe you should try to get your facts straight. Outside of some popular multiplayer games there is really no reason to not use Linux for gaming. You often get much better performance and compatibility. The real downside to using Linux is that it’s hard to learn. It has a very steep learning curve. Windows is still far easier to use for your average person, but windows has been nosediving for over 10 years now. At this point every minute you invest in windows is going to be a loss for you eventually. Might as well learn to use Linux because you are going to have to relatively soon whether you want to or not. Windows is dying and it’s becoming a locked down spyware infested ecosystem that doesn’t even work with a lot of software anymore that was designed for windows. They are abandoning backwards compatibility with every new version. There is basically no reason to use windows anymore other than habit and already understanding it or because you want to play GTA V and you don’t care about having a free computing culture. This is what happens to publicly traded companies run by CEOs who are just trying to milk a brand for as long as possible until they completely burn it, and file for bankruptcy off to kill another formally good product created by someone who actually cares.

    Also I have no idea what you are getting at with the need to play a video in peace after installing? I’m not even going to attempt that one because I think your alzheimers is just manifesting or something.
