i say this as a sports fan: you shouldn't follow live sports. don't attend the games, don't watch them on tv, don't check the score. you're costing time and resources to snoop on a very sophisticated operation that doesn't involve you. just sit tight and wait for a book or video to come out about it
see?
here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared
let me get this straight: DLSS exists because it's too expensive to run raytracing at native resolution, so they made DLSS 5 THROW AWAY THE SHADOW DETAILS THAT RAYTRACING GIVES YOU, thus destroying the entire point of using their own raytracing technology that required using DLSS in the first place?

someone mentioned discord using up a huge ton of resources when typing awhile ago, now I'm getting that lol discord CPU usage goes up to 7-10% while I'm typing, and when I type too fast or hold the backspace button discord starts lagging it's so bad that when I hold down a single key (or backspace), characters stop appearing (or disappearing) in the input box until I stop holding it
In the distant future of 2026, we have developed advanced technology that somehow makes basic text input laggy on a PC with more computational power than a supercomputer from 1996.

By far my favorite chart from any of @jonbois.bsky.social's videos
This is a classic example of optical correction for intersecting lines in font design.
To make the diagonal appear straight at the center of the cross, the type designer slightly breaks and shifts it inward.

post from @ari@fedi.arimelody.space: We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch. We had open-source. We had right to repair. We had everything we needed and it all ran like clockwork. You could've shut your mouth, sold ethical, repairable laptops, and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect. But no, you just had to blow it up. You. And your pride and your ego. You just had to be the man. If you'd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now. [picture of a framework laptop]

please don't, i avoid them too - after my stunt in minecraft modding i wish to never deal with a funny license for something important ever again
Please only do this if you don't want *anyone* to use your code, or it isn't a library. There is no way for me to vet every author of every dependency I use, and even if I did, what if they go crazy in 10 years? Actually fixing the open-source license ecosystem should involve lawyers, not memes.
