What YouTubers did you used to watch back then but not anymore?
  • The DJ Khaled one was him just completely embarassing himself unintentionally. Funny because he's so full of himself. Conan's was funny, but you knew it was going to be before watching because it's Conan

  • Not even Riot wants to try competing with Fortnite on user-generated content: 'I'm not gonna go pick that fight with Epic'
  • They've admitted they have a problem with getting new players so everything they do needs to somehow draw in new players. Getting their current playerbase to create and buy/sell isn't enough of a reason to create such tools especially if they don't think they can match the experience of the other platforms, hence the technological competition. They need to be able to provide excellent tools and an excellent way to host and share creations to draw in creatives who could become new players.

  • Not even Riot wants to try competing with Fortnite on user-generated content: 'I'm not gonna go pick that fight with Epic'
  • There's little business sense to make it exclusively for the current player base. You'd be risking wringing your customers dry. It HAS to attract new players and thus new income sources. If they can't compete, then it's not worth the time and money to create and maintain those tools. You compete with other companies in a space purely by investing your time and money in that space because anything spent is expected to eventually turn a profit.

  • What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?
  • While the obesity part is kind of a digression, I think they were pretty clear: protein powder is a waste if you have a typical American diet and are not exercising, which is apparently most Americans. While protein powder on its own isn't snake oil, it effectively is for most people.

  • 'Internal purposes only': Memo backs claim Trudeau government suppressing carbon-tax impact data
  • Someone could reply to your comment saying they just follow their municipal guidelines and they could be doing more than someone with a long list of whatever because their government has implemented better climate action systems.

    Grilling individuals on their personal contributions is unproductive because climate change is a systemic, societal issue that is beyond any individual.

  • Star Citizen Pushes Through the $700 Million Raised Mark and No, There Still Isn’t a Release Date - IGN
  • The problem really is the servers. There was a golden day or 2 just after the 3.23 patch launched and before everyone jumped on after hearing about it where things were running so well. Right now the servers are overloaded with people back to check out the big patch and new players from ILW. When the servers get full and errors start building up is when things get nasty. Their server meshing in 4.0 can't come soon enough.

  • [QUESTION] Flatpak or AUR?
  • Users who don't want redundant dependencies will probably prefer AUR packages. It can also be nice to manage all the packages with just the helper app. I try to install the binaries of apps from the AUR if they're available to avoid the long build times.

  • Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review in order to access the playtest
  • The Closed Alpha playtest isn't an invitation to publicly review, it's an invitation to playtest. They're trying to gather data and feedback on an inherently feature-incomplete and unpolished game to help with development. There are going to be private channels for feedback and the playtest data itself is like feedback so public channels are redundant. Obviously Marvel is also just trying to dodge criticism, but that's not a mutually exclusive reason.

  • Managed to get access to Marvel Rivals' alpha? Make sure you don't criticise it, as that contract you signed doesn't let you
  • Alpha and beta aren't really the same though. Alpha is meant to be unstable and feature incomplete while beta is supposed to be simply missing polish. For Alpha reviews to have real value they need to provide that context. Otherwise, it's just an exercise for the reviewer

  • Removing "Season Unknown" with no episodes
  • A kind of similar thing happened to me where I added a music album. It had some weird duplication issue where 2 album entries were created: one entry with all the proper metadata that did not correctly link to the files and one with no metadata besides song names that did link to the files. I had to remove all the files of the artist from my library so Jellyfin could completely remove the album entry. Then, when I added the artist back it read the album properly without duplication.

    TLDR try removing the entire show and waiting for Jellyfin to wipe it from the library

  • Headsetcontrol: max safe polling rate?

    I just got myself an Arctis Nova 7X and have been trying to get chat mix to work using HeadsetControl and Nova7ChatmixLinux. The latter uses the former to poll the Nova 7X for the current chat mix balance. The creator set the polling rate at 1/sec which is a little long, but I fear it may be for hardware safety reasons. I got the Nova 7X because my Arctis 7 died with suspicious timing. I had installed a version of HeadsetControl with a gui that had polling rate adjustment and the 7's transmitter stopped receiving power shortly after I set the polling rate to 1/sec.

    Has anyone fiddled with these projects and the Nova 7s and have any insight into polling rates that may be unsafe?
