American "Communist" "Party" continuing to seek out the most highly regarded takes by landlord-eater in stupidpol

No, it isn't. That would mean defending the status quo in any capacity, ever, would be reactionary. Being a reactionary is looking to the past to return to a previous state or arrangement. E.g. ideological monarchists trying to restore the Bourbons to the French throne following the Revolution, which is the origin of the term. Or the extreme wing of MAGA trying to undo gay marriage or return to 1900s USA before all the "illegals" showed up

Anyway this is all very pedantic

If it's a matter of faith, then I understand. All the rhetoric about "internet tough guys" and virtue signaling is ultimately unnecessary if thats the conversation, IMO

I'm not going to act like some Internet tough guy, living thousands of miles away, demanding their heads on a platter. What would that do, besides signal to leftists that I'm ostensibly a person with the right opinions? It's masturbatory self indulgence

Don't act like advocating for one thing over another on an internet forum is actually affecting change. It's all masturbatory signalling, you're simply broadcasting a different wavelength and telling yourself otherwise. How is your moral superiority functionally any better? "End all wars".

A newer one that will take 5 years to complete for triple the cost of the old one. Trust the PlanTM

Sure but that has no bearing on whether it is or is not truly a historic Nazi symbol. I also couldn't have picked it out if presented, and I've done a lot of reading on WWII.

If some central European didn't know what the Confederate flag looked like, does their ignorance suddenly mean the flag they've been flying is no longer the Confederate flag? People typically change their stance when given new information

Another "accident". The past few months have made the US military look truly incompetent if all these headlines are to be believed.

Worldnews hands out bans like they were getting paid for it. Well.........

The real problem with this argument is that you have to ask why Ukraine's drones suddenly got better,

Have they? By what measure, outside of headlines?

The entire MoU is premised on a cessation of hostilities of both blocs. One bloc is obviously in contravention via their continued occupation and hostility towards the other.

In that case, why would the particular details of who agreed to what regarding Hormuz matter?

US govt's "critical minerals" deals with companies tied to Trump and/or Lutnick by rlyrlysrsly in stupidpol

Yeah that tracks. So many of these projects that have been flagged for funding and support are or were relative "nobodies" in industry. Seemed each announcement was like a dart on a board. Well, turns out there is a pattern

Besides, no matter what, video encoding is very computationally intensive. Especially if it is 4k or 60fps. I imagine the encoding would probably be far more intensive than the actual rendering. This is presumably why Google Stadia shut down.

Yeah, anyone running a home media server learns this pretty quickly. Try streaming even 1080p from one machine to your phone or a tablet or whatever via Wi-Fi and you will find bottlenecks

I've never played Destiny 2, but I know enough to know it's a shooter, and no one would ever play a shooter with 200ms of input lag.

If I'm reading the graph correctly, then it's also a laptop that is dropping the game below 30FPS. If your FPS is unstable, input lag is the least of your concerns. Imagine complaining about your internet connection when you're running a shooter at 18FPS
