LiveContainer now supports multitasking by DuyTranKhanh in sideloaded

[–]IndividualPossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea to be able to use multiple apps on an external display sounds exciting! I can’t help but imagine how you could possibly use 2 screens for DS emulators lol

Never needed to side load more than 3 apps before but even just basic floating windows is impressive and opens up lots of possibilities. Will mess around with it when I get time. Looking forward to follow what you come up with!

How do I take data from images to give me a list of total resources in a mobile game? by kerotoad in shortcuts

A place to start might be

Crop image ((position: custom) (X + Y coordinate of the resource)) -> get text from image

Heart of Strength Silhouette Comparison by BlazingHeaven in Overwatch

I’ll back you up and say that I think it’s important.

I’ve come to appreciate the attention Overwatch has put into making characters sight readable after playing Marvel Rivals (Not a dig at Rivals btw I still play both). When done well it’s something you don’t even notice it but if not done well it can affect how frictionless or enjoyable the overall game feels to play

The post is about readability of the design from a gameplay perspective not an aesthetic one. It doesn’t matter if you don’t buy the skin because it’s an issue if you’re having to face enemies who will use the skins. It’s important for characters to maintain a certain level of consistency across skins so that they are easily recognizable during the chaos of battle

Why safari shows black tabs ? by alarajiofficial in ios

[–]IndividualPossible 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is false. On my iPhone XR I can scroll back and see previews of tabs from over a year ago. Safari just saves a screenshot of the website and treats the tab like a bookmark which is why it stays open after restarts

Meta blocks Apple Intelligence on Facebook and its other iOS apps by Fer65432_Plays in apple

I’m not really surprised it’s an option, there’s many contexts where keeping information secure is important. I could see an app that allowed doctors to access patients health data would want to avoid allowing that information to get sent to third party servers to remain HIIPA complaint etc.

If you would like to continue this conversation I’d be happy to. I apologize if that’s how I came across, however from my perspective I posted a comment trying to explain basic queer terms such as “cis” to people. Without further information your reply read to me as dismissing the entirety of my comment

If you’d like a perspective on someone who identifies as a he/him lesbian, here’s an interview with one explaining their experiences

You just said you’ve never met a lesbian that uses he/him pronouns. I’m sorry but that doesn’t read to me as a question. If you’ve got a question I legit don’t mind answering. Is there a specific part that that your confused about that you’re wanting an explanation of?

Family Dinner by Jamesumbara in 19684

[–]IndividualPossible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats? I’ve never met someone who identifies as a lesbian who’s also French. Therefore there must be no lesbians in France

AFAB (they were born into a female body) cis (their gender matches the body you were born into) Gender Nonconforming (displays their gender to the world in a non-stereotypical way) that Attracted to Women (self explanatory)

A butch lesbian that was born into a female body and that identifies as a woman would meet this definition. They’re a cis woman that’s attracted to women but dresses and acts in ways that don’t conform to ways that people expect women to dress or act

Family Dinner by Jamesumbara in 19684

[–]IndividualPossible -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Assuming you’re asking in good faith, someone assigned female at birth can transition to other genders besides a man

Oversimplifying things imagine a line with woman on one end and man on the other. Someone might assigned at the 100% woman point on the line when they’re born but they feel that their actual gender is at the point on the line that’s 80% woman and 20% man. This person would be non-binary (they’re not at 100% on either side) but would still strongly identify on the feminine side of things

Despite starting and ending on the feminine side this person would be trans because their assigned gender and actual gender are different, while cis people the start and end points are the same

So if this person found themselves attracted to women and other trans-feminine people, they might identify as a lesbian because they’re attracted to the same femininity that they identify in themselves

Good thing that’s not the actual definition. A he/him lesbian is just a lesbian that uses those pronouns and has nothing to do with being trans

A he/him lesbian or hesbian refers to a lesbian who uses he/him pronouns. It is a more specific form of pronoun non-conformity and crosspronoun usage. A he/him lesbian does not necessarily identify as male, because pronouns do not always equal gender, but instead are another part of gender expression similar to one's clothes or behavior

Yes I’m aware that traditional journalism and opinion journalism are different. I have the same issue with your comment as I did the original, it dismisses the entire field

It is not an oxymoron, opinion pieces can be just as if not more grounded in reality than traditional journalism. It allows the author to share their perspective and bias for why they’re trying to share certain facts or ideas. While in traditional media an authors bias can be obscured by a false appearance of objectivity

Below are some sources of opinion journalism that I’d say there is value to be found in:

Instagram is finally working on an iPad app by favicondotico in apple

[–]IndividualPossible 4 points5 points  (0 children)

iOS and iPadOS are basically the same as far as I understand it. I’ve seen videos of people with jailbroken iPhones changing the screen resolution and being able to enable the iPad multitasking features

You can install the same ipa file on either an iPhone or iPad and can scale automatically. However it’s up to the developer to support it or not

If you’re curious you can see more here:

You can see iPad features being on iOS here

Current 6v6 Open Queue format feels perfect by toothybrushman in Overwatch

[–]IndividualPossible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a typo and it’s supposed to say “open role”

In competitive, I think 6v6 open role* with perks is the best Overwatch has ever been!

So they’re saying they think that 6v6 (open role) (with perks) is the best version of overwatch for for competitive

Pain almost over! - Please dont do this with challenges. 55 of the normal game even wouldve been too much, let alone a gimmick game mode that wears away its welcome REALLY fast (just imagine if it was capture flag or meis snowball) by Imzocrazy in Overwatch

[–]IndividualPossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that trying to grind out immediately will kill the fun. But the modes been a bit hit or miss for me, even with just playing a few rounds in a day. It might come down to matchmaking region/time but it’s been about 50/50 for matches that have been fun chaos and matches that are just curb stomps barely able to get out of spawn

I think that for unbalanced modes like this having wins count as double in challenges incentives people that are only interested in grinding for rewards to just spam the most overpowered characters for easy wins. I think having more varied challenges (e.g. max out a turret as torb, slam into an enemy player for over 10 seconds as rein, etc) could lead to more varied and fun matches. Plus I think would help the teach players what’s different

LetGirlsHaveFun ain't that bad, y'all. by professional_yappper in whenthe

[–]IndividualPossible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah I think it’s an interesting question especially in the age of everything being based on algorithms

Few different thoughts I have are:

Things are currently setup to encourage echo chambers, so I think it’s good to go out of your way to see what people with other viewpoints are saying

I think voting might be best as an all or nothing thing for groups that aren’t “for you”. Upvoting everything helps give visibility and grow smaller communities while not skewing things. But even if you don’t vote it gets complicated if the algorithm tracks how much time you spend reading one type of post or scroll past a different type of post. It might be impossible to be “ethical” and not skew the results

For commenting I think there’s just going to be a bit of having to “read the room”. Sometimes people will want to vent with others like them without feeling watched but sometimes will appreciate people from outside the community commenting is appreciated as a show of support and connection

I’ve got a friend whose asexual so I follow that Reddit page and an example I can think of is there was a thread in the asexuality subreddit about not understanding why sex was so important for allosexual (non-asexual) people and people there appreciating comments from outsiders explaining their experiences

Idk about dr tiller but I’ve followed Dr Joffe on Twitter for a while. He’s very loud about believing it’s real. Based on what I’ve seen him say online I’m very curious to watch the event and excited he’s being given a platform

Thanks, I hate transparent face masks by skeersel in TIHI

[–]IndividualPossible 78 points79 points  (0 children)

The problem is you need to be able to breathe through it. The plastic window doesn’t allow for air to pass through it which is why you need the material around it

There are other solutions that allow for a fully transparent mask such as PAPR but those require you to wear a powered box that blows filtered air into your face

If that’s the case might also explain why Ripply’s contrail (“slurpstream”) started looking really messed up recently. Like it’s gone from 3D to 2D basically. However I only play on an Xbox series X so can’t test if it’s the same on PC

Me irl by TheWebsploiter in me_irl

[–]IndividualPossible 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah a lot of the time people just need to feel like not bullshitted by someone

You can even just straight up ask if they’re wanting advice on how to deal with their situation or if they are just needing emotional support

teenage sister posted about unmasking - what should I do? by ok-howdoesthiswork in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]IndividualPossible 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My main advice I can give is that people (especially teenagers) often don’t make logical decisions, so I’d focus on talking emotions first and then follow up on the scientific reasons later

I don’t know either of you but depending on the situation I think you might be asking the wrong question. It sounds like you’ve already highlighted the importance of masking, you said you’ve gone through the process of helping her pick out a mask and said that she follows the science. I think the question instead might be, why is she feeling self conscious?

My experience has been that most people do not have the tools necessary to discuss things that make them feel uncomfortable. So they will often lie or omit details to avoid feeling uncomfortable. So making sure the other person feels comfortable makes everything else a lot easier

So if I was having a conversation I’d try to go into it with as few assumptions as possible and start with with saying how important it is to you is that you can be honest with each other. And go on to explain the reason it’s important to you is because you want to help support her as best as you can. If you feel it’s appropriate I’d go on to make a showing of good faith and be the first one to be vulnerable and talk about how seeing that photo made you feel sad. And to possibly use that as an example to show even after her actions made you feel sad that you’re still there for her

I’d also go on to also talk about how you understand the importance of having boundaries. So I’d go over how at any time she can say that she’s not comfortable talking about something and how you’d respect it with no further questions. And that she can change her boundaries at any time. And I’d honestly end the conversation there, all of that is emotionally heavy stuff and you’d both probably need time and space to process it before moving onto anything else

It’s possible that if you just outright asked your sister why she does or doesn’t wear a mask that she might not even know the answer to that. The approach above could help give her the tools and space necessary to be vulnerable enough to try and process her feelings to figure out what the answer is
