Interrobang.

It's this thing: ‽

More people should use the symbol because it looks cool and has a badass name, so for that you need to know what it's called.

Who's with me‽

Lemmy is way more susceptable to bots than Reddit is, we just don't see it as much because we're a lot smaller. But if Lemmy grows, it'll become a major problem for us too.

Yup I'm with you here. I love KBM and it's my preferred way to play for most games, but when it comes to driving I'd much prefer a controller with analogue triggers and a stick (unless it's a sim racer, in which case a wheel of course) for that extra precision.

Unfortunately I can't think of a good design to give that level of control to just one hand. Analogue keys are a thing but they sound awful, nowhere near enough precision due to the short travel of them.

I find jiras search to be decent enough, you might get better results using a filter on sprint name with your current sprint in it.

Honestly 95% of Jira complaints are because people have crap workflows configured. Out of the box Jira is pretty terrible but it's very customisable and you need to adjust it to suit your needs - and they have to be your needs and workflows.

That being said, there's that last 5% that Jira just gets in the way. If anyone has ever had multiple teams working on a single product, Jira is very prescribed about how you're supposed to structure that and If you don't, it's a pain.

I thought this was dumb as fuck, but I think I understand what Microsoft is trying to do here.

What might not be obvious is that this "Windows" app is for iOS, Android and Linux - yes, it's a replacement for remote desktop but it's specifically a remote desktop app to connect to Windows machines.

So while I still this this rebranding is entirely unnecessary, I can see that they are trying to clearly distinguish "I'm not on windows and I need to do something on windows so I'll use the windows app for that" .

It also means less confusion when "remote desktop" doesn't let you connect to your Mac or whatever.

Stagnation is Mozilla's MO. Fuck, go look at Thunderbird and be transported back to the 90's.

Even Microsoft is updating outlook - fucking outlook is innovating, Outlook being the cancer on email that's held it back for decades, is being updated.

The £ key on GB keyboards is shift+3.

Ray tracing actually will directly change the way games are made. A lot of time is spent by artists placing light sources and baking light maps to realistically light scenery - with ray tracing, you get that realism "for free".

DF did a really interesting video on the purely path traced version of Metro: Exodus and as part of that, the artists talked about how much easier and faster it was to build that version.

I think you just need to look at the PS5 Pro as proof that more GPU power doesn't translate linearly to better picture quality.

The PS5 Pro has a 67% beefier GPU than the standard PS5 - with a price to match - yet can anyone say the end result is 67% better? Is it even 10% better?

We've been hitting diminishing returns on raw rasterising for years now, a different approach is definitely needed.

 

It's definitely a bit cringe, but enjoy!

 

There was a competition for UK superfans last month. They said they'd let entrants know by June 29th so I just assumed I hadn't won anything. I'm so excited!
