Chile, 38, and I've been driving manual all of my life... Well, until a month ago when we finally sold my old trusty 2005 Yaris for a new automatic car so my wife can also drive (my old car was manual and had no drive assistance, it was heavy to turn, and I was the only one in my family that was capable of parallel parking it)

Probably not, I can't inmediately notice it, but you see, games like Ez2On Reboot: R have a very robust customization suite, including timing adjustment and indicators for when you press a key too early or too late. The game combines both features on a single option where you play a song while the game automatically adjusts the delay between your keystrokes and the "target" you're supposed to be hitting. Using that feature, the game added around 3ms window to my keystrokes, and after a couple of game sessions, you can actually feel the game being slightly off-beat (since those kind of games actually play sounds whenever you press a key, your "play" sounds slightly delayed using the rest of the song being auto played by the PC). Also, the early/late counter at the end of each song increases one way or another. Again, it's not immediately noticeable, but you feel something's off and the results screen can confirm it.

I play rhythm games on PC. I use ASIO4ALL to bypass any kind of audio processing being done by my OS to reduce audio latency as much as possible, and I do research before even attempting to buy any monitor. I got a Logitech Z407 for my birthday and even using the audio jack it introduces enough audio lag (~3ms) that I went back to play on wired headphones.

It's not the band, it's the Bluetooth stack. Bluetooth sucks as a standard.

Oh yes!! Of course! Yet another standard!!

(What I learned from Reddit: there's an XKCD for everything.)

Yeah, this doesn't look good for the health of F1 as a sport... But, if you ignore the F0.5 standings (aka remove RB from the top)...

From last year to this one, the "best of the rest" pack is bunched up and fighting for every single position. That's a huge improvement from last year and I can't wait for the second half of the season to start so I can wave my McLaren flags once again!!!

I get that on Steam, MacOs was more popular than Linux due to the sheer size of its user base, but how on earth do you play games on a Mac? I got my first MacBook from work AND because it was a work laptop not intended for gaming, but that didn't stop me from installing steam and try... Like a 10% of my Steam library? What?!?! Yeah, I can play Team Fortress 2 and Stardew Valley, maybe some RetroArch for slow working days, but not much else! How was MacOs the second biggest platform on Steam with such a small compatibility list?!

It might have something to do with defederation of some users? I have several Lemmy accounts on big and small instances, and I noticed that I get far more comments on lemmy.world than from smaller instances like feddit.cl

Well, have you seen FOSS fans biting everyone's asses over saying user experience is important and labor should be paid? Yeah, people getting their preferences called out and ridiculed usually causes that. It's like getting into a small subreddit and stirring shit by saying that their collective opinion is wrong.

Before the great Reddit exodus, Lemmy was just an echo chamber for a small subset of like-minded people. Now you get Reddit Lite. Enjoy it!!

Here in Santiago, capital of Chile, we are usually well tucked in our houses by July. We are located in a fairly dry zone, but close enough to the Andes mountains to have fresh water reserves for the biggest city in the country as long as the spare rains keep coming. Also, sky resorts thrive from April to September with all the fresh snow.

The current heat wave has thrown a lot of things out of whack. For starters, there's currently no rain during a historically rainy month, which means that future water reserves might be low. Current ones are no better since melting snow is muddying our current reserves and shortages of public water supply are a possibility. Yes, watching green mountains in July is beautiful, but also the sky resorts are getting worried about their seasonal income (they are all pivoting into trekking and sightseeing, but that's not nearly as popular).

I didn't knew Haelian or this 64 Heat situation, but I usually watch speedrun and gaming challenge videos and the impossible max heat video popped up on my feed earlier this week. I gave it a watch and ended up reinstalling Hades just to check out how stupidly hard the challenge was. Not two days after that, the winning run pops in my feed, and the day after I watch Haelian reacting to the run. Somehow, by pure luck, I got to watch a record beaten almost in real time, and the context needed to understand why it was such a huge deal! Kudos to everyone involved!!!
