@lemmy.worldBecause having people download static map data for the entire planet just to play a game is untenable.
You shouldn't have to download the entire planet though.
The game 100% should support installing local specific areas you wanna fly around, that anyone could then keep a copy of.
If a user wanted to cache an entire 8 TB of the entire world on a drive, they should be able to just do that (and thus have forever support without worrying about internet services staying online)
At least, as a snapshot of what the world looked like in 2024.
I don't see why users shouldn't have the option to locally HD save the data if they want to, to avoid maxing out their internet bandwidth in one sitting.
She has so much more sway than The Chicks had at the time, by such a huge amount.
The Chicks were already controversial, and had always been so.
But Dolly is the fucking queen of country, people revere her.
How many Dixie Chicks lookalike competitions were you seeing right before their career nosedived?
No, not really. That's above and beyond being poly, we both are only really interested in life long partners, thus we fit so well with each other.
We've both agreed we doubt we would ever meet someone even one of us clicks with and meets us where we are at, we've both just spent so kych time and effort growing together that we're extremely far along in experience and maturity. We're getting married next year, as we've just accepted it's gonna just be the two of us.
We're okay with that, but I wanted to hear how other folks feel about this themselves, we aren't unhappy with our lives, we're doing awesome.
But I think it's definitely an interesting thing to talk about, if people have had a serious commited "expansion" of the relationship "late game" if you will, and if it actually worked out.
For the relationship where everyone is with everyone, and the introduction of a new person requires everyone to be into them (and thus each addition becomes exponentially more and more unlikely, as the group gets bigger), I refer to this as a "Pod", where its all one unit of people together.
Whereas when its not everyone connected to everyone, and its more open ended and people come and go, I refer to that as a Polycule (from Molecule), as in a "chain" of connections.
Typically the former simply just never gets very big, because it inherently gets very strained as it grows beyond even 4-5 people at most. Humans just cant sustain that many intimate relationships at once.
Polycules can go infinite though, cause any one specific individual in the "chain" of people can simply just be with only 2 or maybe 3 themselves, but that infinite chaining can just go on and on and on, without any individual even knowing how far it even goes.
I personally am not into polycules, Ive never seen one actually sustain and long term, every single polycule Ive witnessed disintegrates and fractures over time into different groups, it can get petty, people can get hurt, I just personally try to steer clear of such stuff cuz Ive yet to actually see someone long term defy the pattern Ive seen.
And by long term I mean 10+ years.
If the polycule is purely transient and people can just float in and out and everyone involved is cool with that, thats fine, but I consider that less of a polycule at that point and more just a bunch of open relationships. To be a Polycule in my eyes it has to have longevity and be non transient, each individual "link" of the chain is people going steady. A whole buncha people just having transient relationships, friends with benefits, one night stands, etc, thats not a polycule, thats just swinging.
Which is cool and I dont hate on it, but it's just not the same thing and I try to ensure that distinction in lexicon is consistent.
Despite Steam being proprietary, Proton (it's emulation system) is so profoundly stable I feel like it's a necessary evil at this time.
I haven't found a single "windows" game yet in my library that doesn't work with steam
Yeah this is just noticeable because most products weren't even resealable, they just expected you to seal em yourself with a clip, twist em, put em in a container, etc.
Now they are adding cheap resealable zips to the bag, which is nice in theory but the bag material has to be strong enough to support it.
Actual ziplock baggies themselves are made of thick plastic that can take a bit of abuse.
But cheap paper plastic hybrid materials a chip bag us made of can't handle that sort of load, so it becomes the fail point.
Personally I've just being using Termux sideloaded in to SSH into anything I need to, with a bluetooth KB and Mouse.
Quest3 straight up supports Mouse+KB as is.
SSHd into my dev box I can pop open neovim in tmux multiplexer and have full access to my entire stack, so at that point it's just full on cyber decking.
Only thing that could be nice is finding out how well the usb port on the Quest3 plays with Serial feeds.
It should work in theory, I just haven't tried it yet, but theoretically android devices can use a usb port as a serial COM1 and there's a handful of decent TTY serial IO apps on Android, any of which could be sideloaded in.
Or... use a TTY in termux maybe? I haven't tried it yet but theoretically it outta work
It's heavily because you call out to your SO a lot, and their full name is a mouthful.
Typically words like "babe", "hun", etc are the lowest effort pet name. The "b" percussive is one of the easiest to pronounce.
Usually this is simply to make communication faster and easier, "hun" is way faster to say than whatever their full name is.
This becomes do commonplace that after being together for many years, their full name is reserved for emergencies.
Like if you cut yourself or are hurt or whatever, you instinctually use their full name to grab their attention and alert them. (People alert to their full name way easier and can hear it better)
This results in producing an alarm "wtf?" response when you use it casually, it makes them whip their head up and their brain goes "is something wrong?"
Then when they realize the situation is fine, it becomes a sort of "you spooked me for nothing! Don't!" result.
You effectively reserve the full name only when you are trying to get their attention.
Dunno why ppl are down voting you, this is 100% the way.
Architecture as code is amazing, being able to completely wipe your server, re-install fresh, and turn it on and it goes right back to how it was is awesome.
GitOps version controlled architecture is easy to maintain, easy to rollback, and easy to modify.
I use k8s for my entire homelab, it has some initial learning curve but once you "get it" and have working configs on github, it becomes so trivial to add more stuff to it, scale it up, etc.
