trackball mice

But why? These were never more popular than traditional mice

Sounds like you’re a millennial with gen alpha kids. The latest generation is struggling to read and write, while millennials are the best typists

This happens to me when I add a word to the dictionary but it happened to be the first word of a sentence at the time I added it, so it got capitalized and now the dictionary thinks it’s a proper noun

T9 just adapted the earlier lettering that phones already had on the numbers. ‘1-800-COL-LECT’ Never intended you to type it as ‘1-800-222666555-555332228’, you’d just dial 1-800-265-5328. but that’s what you’d have to do to write it with T9.

I’d be happy if I could land a web dev role for 40k at this point

I don’t really agree at all.

The overwhelming majority of people are going to be calling from a cell phone with data access now. It’s time to consider including data access to emergency services w/ emergency roaming functionally just like we do with calls and sms. A system can and should be built out to provide emergency gps, video + information services like we described and live video calls. We have the technology we just have to cut through bureaucracy.

Providing advanced smartphone functionality in emergencies could be hugely beneficial.

They should also be able to rapidly provide instructional video in the year 2023

After you get it set up pirating is basically zero time. There’s some up front time costs learning how to automate everything but after that? Yar har

Ok Grandpa it’s time for your nap

I’m just as surprised when people say they don’t get it. Locomotion is the thing that makes me sick. 1:1 room scale walking? No prob. Teleporting, cool. Joystick movement? Taking a ride on the Vomit express.

Like the other poster said, it was an open source project but the rights were sold to illfonic. Xonotic is the fork the community made to keep the open source project going

We can certainly argue over what they’re designed to do, and I definitely agree that’s the goal of them. The reality though is that on some level it is impossible to separate assertions from the words that describe them. Language itself is designed to communicate ideas, you can’t really create language without also communicating ideas, otherwise every sentence from an LLM would just look like

“Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like”

They will readily cite information that was fed to them. Sometimes it is on point, sometimes not. That starts to be a bit of an ethical discussion on whether it is okay for them to paraphrase information they were fed, and without citing it as a source of the info.

In a perfect world we should be able to expand a whole learning tree to trace back how the model pieced together each word and point of data it is citing, kind of like an advanced Wikipedia article. Then you could take the typical synopsis that the model provides and dig into it to judge for yourself if it’s accurate or not. From a research standpoint I view info you collect from a language model as a step down from a secondary source and we should be able to easily see how it gets to that info.

Xonotic is a fun spin on the Quake formula. Loved dueling with that guided rocket on aerowalk. Just a shame all the fallout that happened with Nexuiz

Open arena is just quake 3 with bad art assets, might as well play quake live to find real players.

I agree with your friend.

If there’s a media that I want to continue to exist and similar works to be made, I will buy it. Depending on how much I enjoy it I will wait for a sale or pay full price.

It’s not any simpler, you’re just changing the frame of reference relative to the fulcrum point. His example is just as valid. If you’re controlling from behind the fulcrum inverted is perfectly intuitive.

Still a setting in any game worth caring about. I still prefer inverted in some cases.

Something like a mounted turret makes more sense inverted if you think of the mouse as an analog of your hand. Moving the handles down would move the tip of the barrel up. This analogy could easily extend to a two handed rifle or even a hand gun if your mental reference is the back of the gun, the handle

I added the ‘for me’ to curb the pedants, but it seems you still found your way. Your experience doesn’t invalidate mine, sorry.

Forums died for a reason. Reddit took over that space for me because it was one place to see everything. Federation is a better version of that. Decentralized and connected is how the Internet should be

There’s definitely a middle ground of people who are content with insecure but private communications who don’t want to post on social media
