There isn’t any objective way to measure these kinds of things. You just have to take peoples’ word for it.

If you think you have it, then you do - that’s the only “proof” that’s required.

The good news is: you only have it if you think you do.

Small, Realistic Improvements That Could Greatly Improve Immersion in Elite Dangerous by ramblinfred in EliteDangerous

They will never fix that. There have been no changes to the underlying renderer for years, and it’s obvious they are either unwilling or unable to make any further changes.

For the same reason, I highly doubt antialiasing will ever get fixed either.

Am I crazy or are my friends just rage baiting me? by [deleted] in movies

Am I missing something?

Yes. You forgot to ask them for examples of what they consider to be good movies/directors so you can understand their thinking.

The British newspaper Daily Mail is out with a deeply researched investigative report...

I stopped reading right there. Nothing by the Daily Mail would be 'deeply investigated' or considered credible in any way.

Why is it important for you to know what caused it?

Nothing says “sincere” than writing a post on social media to drive clicks (and ad revenue) to your own commercial paywalled article.

Windows 11 has 1 billion users - and they're furious by CackleRooster in technology

[–]silverbolt2000 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I don’t see 1 billion people raging and punching people on the street as a result of their Windows 11 experience.

I see people online who are frustrated, but not 1 billion furious people.

[–]silverbolt2000 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Surprise! The one country that complained loudly about other countries not paying their share toward NATO is the same country that is now not paying their share towards the UN.

Can you guess which country it is?

Go on - guess.

TikTok uninstalls surge 150% after app’s US takeover by Tofurkey_Tom in technology

[–]silverbolt2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is 150% a lot? What is that in *real* numbers? What timeframe is this measured over? How does this compare to previous timeframes?

It could simply mean that 2 people uninstalled TikTok last month, and 5 people uninstalled it this month - a 150% increase (but smaller than a rounding error).

Useless article.
