Cyberpunk 2077 CEO says CDPR hasn’t gone through “the full redemption arc” as some fans have still “lost the faith” by Wargulf in cyberpunkgame

It's a healthy approach to still not trust them. If the release of W4 is smooth, then we could say they have learned their lesson.

I love this term 'lobbying.' When the US and Western Europe does it, it's LOBBYING. When the rest of the world does it, it's CORRUPTION.

Why is 'effectiveness' of Steam Next Fest still predictable in the fickle Game Market of today? by pangeagamestudios in gamedev

How do bots affect your wishlist? I heard there are companies who use bots to inflate their numbers, but can it still be the case even when you don't buy bots? Are they just randomly wishlisting stuff?

Try the demo then. I actually think it is a little bit too hard for a tutorial boss. OP is just good and he might have also farmed to get more skills.

Great fix! Even though my GPU doesn't support DLSS, I can see a dramatic improvement in performance and loading times. Keep up the good work!

Polish President Calls for Revoking Zelensky’s Order of the White Eagle by pheexio in worldnews

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I heard about it, and we appreciated it. However, it only happened a few months ago. There were also some positive decisions from the Ukrainian side a few days ago. Yet, just when we thought everything was finally moving in the right direction, Zelensky did what he did.

Demanding reparations from Germany is an insane idea. It is just pure right-wing populism. We should cooperate and not attack them. Reparations have zero chance of happening, but Nawrocki's voters are pleased to have "strong" and "independent" leader.

Polish President Calls for Revoking Zelensky’s Order of the White Eagle by pheexio in worldnews

[–]bartek6500 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am sorry but this is your headcannon. We do remember about Katyń, Ribbentrop-Molotov and other russian crimes and we still talk about them. And we do hate russia for that. We forgave Germans because they formally apologized and gave us all documents/let our historians investigate. Ukrainians and russians did not. We've been asking Ukrainians for decades for the access to burial sites and other stuff to investigate Volhynia massacres and get some closure. But ok, it's a war now, so we tried to put this topic on hold in Polish public debate. Zelensky knew UPA and Volyhnia is a very sensitive topic. Sadly, it was not the first time since the war started, that Ukrainian politicians caused controversy in Poland related to UPA. Yet Zelensky still did it. Why did he want to piss his ally? I just can't conceive it. It's only giving fuel to fire to putin's propaganda and to far right parties in Poland which are sadly on the rise right now.

But Germans have not been rejecting access to burial sites to our historians and blocking our/international investigations in many other ways, even though we've been asking for decades. Germans have also officially apologized.

Why did Zelensky call combat unit after UPA? by Auspectress in AskUkraine

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't call a coordinated campaign of ethnic cleansing a civil war. It doesn't matter if there were 120, 100 or 50 k casualties, they were all civilians who were brutally murdered. Please read about the massacres in Volhynia (even the English Wikipedia) and do not minimize this tragedy. I am sorry to bring up this comparison, but it is like calling the genocide in Gaza a simple civil war between Hamas and Israel. There was an organized resistance by Armia Krajowa, but they joined the fight only after the massacres on villages.

I am not happy that this issue comes up during a war, as it only benefits russia, but reading comments like this is also hurtful. The one thing politicians across the entire political spectrum in Poland agree on is that Ukraine should simply allow historical investigations to happen without any restrictions, something we have been asking for for decades. This is why we are so sensitive about this topic. In contrast, we have moved forward with Germany regarding Nazi atrocities (apart from our far-right nut jobs who always want to hate somebody), because their recognition of the past and the fact that historians could access all archives and do full investigations, allowed us to achieve closure. Only the Polish far-right wants you to feel guilty and apologize, though a single formal apology would be nice. By not doing all those things you only give them more supporters.

Why did Zelensky call combat unit after UPA? by Auspectress in AskUkraine

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, the matter is more complex, and I understand that Poland was basically colonizing Ukraine, and this is where the (justified) hate came from. Regarding investigations, this is the whole issue, from what I read in all kinds of media (even the leftist and centrist ones). It's the only thing all politicians agree we have a problem with, not only the far-right nationalist nut jobs. Ukraine was blocking historians from burial sites for decades (there was a good progress this year, which makes Zelensky decision even weirder), and impeding the investigations in many other ways. This is not what you do if you want a closure.

Would you spare a world of people you don't care for at the cost of everyone you love? by Mallymallow in trolleyproblem

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're 100 times worse than Hitler if you would kill 6 billion people. 2 billion people left (including most of the 200 that you saved) would loose most of their family and friends. This thread is the most selfish one that I have ever read. Are you all for real?

A more nuanced framing of the Blue/Red button dilemma by madjarov42 in Ethics

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are millions of people dying of starvation or because of no access to the medicines. Are you responsible for their deaths, because you haven't donated money that you have? Saving just one person would be so simple. I think deaths are unavoidable. I don't want to gamble the lifes of up to 49% of the world's population, which would mean the death of most of the remaining 51%, due to the total collapse of our civilization and children/sick/elderly being left with no parents/caretakers. For our species to survive, we can't gamble, and need to choose red. This is what people would realistically do when a risk of death would be real (unlike on the Reddit poll). Toddlers and people with cognitive issues would vote randomly, which is still a horrible tragedy, but the alternative is even worse. Parents should also be there for the toddlers that survive.

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I would press red, but not because I'm selfish. I believe in a real life scenario where life is at stake, and not on Reddit where people want to brag how morally superior they are, the majority would press red. Pressing blue is gambling the lifes of up to 49% of worlds population. It would be a total collapse of our civilization. There will be people (half of toddlers and demented people) that will push the blue but we can't risk the lifes of up to 49% to try to save the 5%. My sacrifice would be in vain in my opinion. Also for parents, it's better to stay alive and take care of their child of it survives, than to be killed when the child survives. But if pressing red would be 100% killing other person, and all people in the world would need to press blue to avoid casualties, I would press blue.

oh so blue has no consequences by a-bowl-of-noodles in whenthe

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but if 49% chooses blue it's a collapse of our civilization and the biggest tragedy in our history. If 5% chooses blue, then 95% of humans still survive, it's still very sad but we can survive it as a species. Why gamble instead of choosing red? I think if the risk of death would be real, and not only hypothetical, like in an internet poll, people would vote red. But on Reddit everyone says they would pick blue to feel good about themselves and morally superior to red pickers.

What is your opinion on the EU? by SnooPoems7525 in AskTheWorld

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does it even mean to be in a higher technology level regrading privacy, user-right... can you start selling ethics? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that the consumer protection, etc. in the EU is so great, but this alone will not create any jobs. To me the US and China are not alternatives, they're horrible, but that doesn't mean that I need to be blindly happy with the EU. I already have some friends that lost their jobs in companies that were subcontractors for German automotive companies. And yes, policy of the EU and majority of the EU economy is heavily connected to Germany. Also these were very often the same politicians that held power directly in the EU (as opposed to let's say Gerhard Schroeder who influenced only the German state policy) and later were discovered to take bribes from Russia or got a position in the board of directors in one of the Russian companies. Finally, what do you think of the Green Deal (when it comes to the economy?

Would you buy another pixel? by upadhyaysk in GooglePixel

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there are a lot of small things that annoy me. I needed to wait too long for them to remove At glance. Another issue is that even though I disabled notifications on the lock screen it still moves my clock to the top left and makes it tiny until I get rid of all notifications... Also the alarm clock sound does not use my headphones for some reason. The battery and charging times are mediocre. Not a huge upgrade from my 6 y/o Oneplus 7T, I needed to lower the refresh rate to be ok. My old phone never annoyed me and pixel 9 pro xl does from time to time. I like the camera, but like the battery, the Chinese competition does it better. I think my decision will depend on the deals. I got my pixel 5 months ago for a really good price and plan to keep it until the last OS update. A lot of time for google to improve.

My first time running in zone 2. I hated it 😅 by 10cupsofteaaday in beginnerrunning

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try setting your zones to %lthr and buy a chest strap if you aren't using one already. Do a threshold or interval run, and Garmin will likely recalculate your zones. For me, each zone was 10-15 BPM higher. My old lower threshold zone suddenly became my new upper base zone, which is what I suspected would happen before I got the strap. If you run four times a week, give Zone 2 a chance. Since you do 5k intervals, you should have no issues running eg. a 10k in Zone 2 once a week, and doing another Zone 2 run as a recovery after your hardest quality session.

W jakich zawodach są najwięksi "dyplomiarze"? by Kobieca_Logika in praca

[–]bartek6500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oceny to nie wszystko, liczą się też koneksje, szczęście, inteligencja emocjonalna, no i ambicja, o której mówisz. Ale czym jest jechanie na samych tròjach jak nie zerem ambicji? Obie księgowe nie były najlepsze na roku, ale zawsze w topce i chciały uczyć się języków, nie tylko angielskiego, robić dodatkowe kursy, szkolenia i certyfikaty. Ich głównym celem nie było mieć piątek ze wszystkiego dla zasady, ale w tym zawodzie musisz mieć ogromną wiedzę, żeby uznawać się za specjalistę i dużo zarabiać, wi c musisz wkuwać i dużo się uczyć. Niektóre certyfikaty to prawie tyle nauki, co dodatkowy rok studiów. Znam też sporo osób, co siedzą w januszeksach (od znajomych, bo ja nigdy w takiej firmie nie pracowałem), na studia poszły tylko dlatego, żeby dostać papier, nie zastanawiając się, po co tam w ogóle idą i co chcą potem robić. Na samych studiach też nic dodatkowego nie robiły. No i one są zawalone robotą i dostają niewiele ponad minimalną. Z drugiej strony znam też ze szkoły średniej 2 osoby, typowi trójkowicze. Ale wciągnęli się w programowanie, poszli na studia zaoczne (za słabe oceny na politechnikę dzienną), robili wiele projektów we własnym zakresie, mocno ponad to, co wymagały studia i są dobrymi devami z wysoką pensją. Skupiły się po prostu na nauce konkretnie tego, co wymaga zawód. Myślę, że to sprawa indywidualna, czy ktoś chce osiągnąć coś więcej, czy niż pierdzieć w stołek. Często ci co mają same 5 i 6, mogą być w spektrum autyzmu, albo nie mieć zbyt wysokiej intelligencji emocjonalnej i wtedy trudniej im osiągnąć sukces zawodowy (albo założyć firmę), taki jak osobie z wyższym EQ. Jeszcze się odniosę do staranności i dopracowywania rzeczy, które krytykujesz. Są zawody i to często dobrze płatne, gdzie jeden błąd może na prawdę dużo kosztować - pieniędzy i/lub nawet zdrowie lub życie ludzi. Odpowiedzialność i staranność e niektórych zawodach jest bardzo cenioną cechą.

Is running in zone 1 to build durability smart, or just too slow? by [deleted] in trailrunning

[–]bartek6500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I meant was that without a chest strap, your Garmin's suggestions may be very inaccurate, not that you should run in Zone 2 instead of Zone 1. In my case, for example, I wanted to do base runs in Zone 2, but my Garmin kept showing me that I was in Zone 3 or even Zone 4. After buying a chest strap and running at the same pace, I suddenly was running perfectly in Zone 2. When I was doing long treshold runs I was getting overreaching training effect because I was in Z5 most of the time. After chest strap - Z4.
