It doesn’t add up for me either, but on your first question: you can fight for justice and have empathy for people without a particular issue affecting you personally.
See LGBT allies for an easy example. It’s pretty normal to care about issues that aren’t yours, e.g. all the support Palestine is getting, even though most people supporting it have never been there and don’t know a single Palestinian.
A principled person usually cares about more than themselves.
Sure, as I said “Windows is absolutely needed if you want a good experience”. Yes, it’s not required to get something working if you try hard enough, but it is required if you want everything to work well.
I keep a Windows virtual machine with GPU passthrough for VR and don’t see myself ditching it any time soon. At least I don’t need to boot into Windows.
Yes, you can technically get some games working. If you use the right VR headset (meaning Valve Index or Vive), use the right distro, with the right compositor and right GPU, spend a lot of time troubleshooting, then you can maybe get a few games to start. Camera passthrough won’t work, power management won’t work (no control for base stations), Bluetooth won’t work, tracking won’t be as good, you will experience weird bugs and crashes of both the games and SteamVR, and you will get less FPS than on Windows. And even with that inferior experience, most games still won’t run.
I spent a lot of time trying despite this being the experience for most people online, and I only confirmed that it’s the case. Windows is absolutely needed if you want a good experience. Hopefully Valve changes that in the future, but that’s the case today.
Still needed for VR games.
On the sexuality/gender thing. They are actually required to ask this in the UK. It would be illegal for them not to ask (I think it depends on the company size though). This is because employers are required to report these statistics to the government to prove they are not influencing hiring decisions.
If 10% of applicants are homosexual, but only 2% of your hires are, then you are in trouble, because it shouldn’t make a difference.
It’s in Kotlin and some other languages. C# has it but there it’s actually A ?? B.
It’s a shorthand for writing this:
variable = if (input != null) input else default
This is equivalent:
variable = input ?: default
It’s a shorthand for writing this:
variable = if (input != null) input else default
This is equivalent:
variable = input ?: default
The answers confusing it with the ternary operator are wrong.
Because it’s not one. Ternary operator is A ? B : C, Elvis operator is A ?: B. The same two characters are involved, but both the syntax and effect is different.
I’m not saying ignore it, it’s a valid reason to not like the game, like any other subjective reason.
I’m saying calling the game “Pokemon with guns” is dismissive of what the game is. It’s like calling Minecraft “Rust with animal husbandry”, which completely misses what the game is about.
People say “Pokemon with guns” as if that was some kind of core gameplay. You can play through the game without ever using them. It’s a small feature, that absolutely is there, but reducing the game to that is missing the forest for the trees.
It’s an open world crafting base building game to enjoy with co-op, that has catchable creatures like Pokemon. There is no Pokemon game that fits this niche. The guns are not important to what the game is.
To make it more specific I guess, what’s the problem with that? It’s like having a “people living on boats” and “people with no long term address”. You could include the former in the latter, but then you are just conveying less information.
A drone is an unmanned vehicle, e.g. SpaceX drone boats serving as mobile landing pads, Ukrainian drone boats carrying explosives, drone research submarines, ground drones for mine defusal, etc.
This is definitely not a drone. It’s a quadcopter.
Same deal on Android. OEM launcher apps override the app icons for the OEM’s calendar and clock apps, and there is no way for a different app to achieve the same effect.
Glad I’m not alone
It’s just a phone number on the website. It’s macOS/iOS that decides that clicking a phone number should open FaceTime, and the restaurant has nothing to do with this - they just put their phone number on their website.
Apparently I was the only one to read the title that way, but I thought your brothers died (late) in their 40s.
Why is it insane? Is it surprising that people make joke offers? Joke offers exist on any online auction site.
The sellers are players. Of course people are going to troll by creating such offers. Doesn’t mean anything.
But Brave is malware, so not a great trade-off
