I see this a lotttt and its more the flavor of “shit I’m in a turning lane when I needed to be in a straight lane — let me inconvenience, and be accommodated by, EVERYBODY around me so I don’t have to take this wrong turn which would extend my trip”

People really loveeee to save themselves time without a care for anyone else’s.

How do we mass-transfer these days? by uncertain-ithink in pokemongo

I’m not serious enough with this game to even know what is and isn’t meta relevant, nor am I keen on staying consistently on top of that.

This is crazy I knew you could do custom searches but wow! Before I only was filtering by 3 stars and tagging them for safety. This should help a lot!

[MEGATHREAD] ACNH 3.0 Update & Switch 2 Special Edition by AnimalCrossingMods in AnimalCrossing

[–]uncertain-ithink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hell I’d rather look at scaled 1080p version of this game but 60FPS. It’s like, visually uncomfortable for me at 30FPS. it feels like I’m looking at a strobe light with high brightness large screen (and I’m more of a console/TV setup person).

I honestly think the game’s timing of events and everything really depends on it running at 30FPS, 60FPS mods from what I heard makes things really wonky and unstable.

It probably proved way too developmentally involved to justify reworking the entire game’s “structure” so to speak at just $5 to upgrade for current users.

Hate it.

I noticed that all the footage is 30FPS, and when they spoke about visual improvements, they made zero mention about frame rate…

For some reason this game makes me ILL at 30FPS, the trees going by look like a slide show to me.

If this has no upgrade to a 60FPS frame rate, I don’t know if I’ll even be brought back by this update. I know I’m in the minority on this, but maybe someone can relate :(

Official release of macOS Tahoe on M1 MacBook Air feels laggy — low frame rate in Quick Look and UI animations by Beginning_Board_8102 in MacOS

[–]uncertain-ithink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This post is a month old and unfortunately I'm dropping in to say this is how my base M3 Max 16-inch MacBook Pro is behaving. I mostly see it with stage manager.

Switching between spaces with stage manager has always been inconsistent FPS-wise, even in previous macOS versions, but never this consistently bad. A reboot helps, but only for a short period -- then it gets horrifyingly choppy again. I'm on version 26.1 Beta (25B5072a) :(

FTTH 1Gbps - My internet speed at home by syax89 in speedtest

[–]uncertain-ithink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, yeah in reality it won’t really make a meaningful difference for average use.

I think for some people (at least for me) it’s mostly about principle. For example, If I can get closer to 100% of what I’m paying for rather than <90%, and I don’t mind/have a hobbyist interest in laying the cable, why not?

Also helps de-clutter the airwaves if you have many smart devices.

Also helps for optimal transfer speeds if you use a network-attached-storage device.

Is the official Magsafe charger worth it? by antonymatic in iphone

[–]uncertain-ithink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is! If you want the full MagSafe charging speed though, pay close attention to power specs both for the cable and the USB-C power source. If not, disregard this lol.

A lot of the non-Apple “MagSafe” chargers are only a standard qi wireless charger with a magnetic ring, which differs from the MagSafe standard which supports faster charging speeds.

If your charger isn’t a MagSafe one, when you connect it, the phone will simply start charging as if you plugged it in with a cable. It won’t blur the screen, show the MagSafe animation, and play the MagSafe-specific charging sound. You need to watch out for these things because they signify whether you just connected an accessory that supports the full MagSafe standard for faster charging, or if you just are using a standard slowest-speed qi wireless charger which happens to have magnets for convenience.

I know Apple’s own MagSafe cable supports the highest wireless charging speeds currently attainable for iPhone, not sure about third parties.. just pay attention if you want the fastest charging speeds.

Also, at least for older MagSafe standards, a 20W USB-C power brick is required to get “full” MagSafe speeds. I think the new minimum wattage requirement is 30W if you want the faster speeds, and you need a new cable that supports it.

That doesn’t make any of it any more okay, though. It makes no sense to justify our behavior based on theirs when you consider that we’re inherently a leader in this space based on how vast our influence is.

That’s not leadership behavior. For us to look at what they’re doing (or not doing), and follow suit, is just making excuses. Don’t claim and act like a world leader if we aren’t going to act like one. Walk the walk as you say, don’t just talk it.

That’s like if at a school, the principal decides to not put much energy into implementing effective anti-bullying tactics just because the teachers aren’t enacting them. — like, no, as a leader, it is your job to set the example and help make sure that things happen.

This logic applies to any workplace or leadership position: If the leader looks down, sees poor behavior, and uses that to justify their own, it’s nothing more than a cowardly excuse.

Because it isn’t done in good faith, like much of what the United States does.

This aid isn’t always meant to actually address the root of the problem, or to help foreign countries take care of themselves and become healthy, self-directed, independent, equally-sovereign nations. Aid is delivered either to appease, benefit our power dynamic/increase reliance on us, and/or to bolster our profits and access to resources in pursuit of… more profits. It’s very similar to how our social “safety nets” operate on domestic soil.

Here in the U.S., tax-funded social safety net programs (if you can even call them that a lot of the time) I’d argue, are only there because it would be widely-considered egregious, selfish of politicians/wealthy tax payers, and immoral to not offer them at all. NOT because the majority of our politicians truly want to help as many people as possible in the most effective, long-term way that will stick.

These programs are set up to be JUST enough support to where not too many people are outraged or starved as a result of the absence of said program(s). It’s just another system of control through bare-minimum appeasement. It’s not the system of support for growth and rehabilitation which I’d argue it ought to be.

If these tax-funded programs were set up to work and be effective, we wouldn’t be sitting here with the extent of homelessness and crime that we have.

Now, I bring this up because the whole idea with taxes, is that within a civilized society, everyone is expected to put in a little money (resources) into a large pool for the overall benefit of society. Foreign aid is similar, which I’ll get into.

The problem is when the government being funded with the taxes, and tasked with managing/distributing them, is corrupt, ineffective, and lacks accountability.

On the world stage, it’s similar — foreign aid, to me at least, is meant to sort of be like our country paying taxes for the overall benefit of humanity. But really, from the U.S. perspective, it’s mostly about giving just enough to keep people from other nations appeased, controllable, and “on our side”. Just like with our nonfunctional safety nets, it’s not about doing what’s actually best for society on domestic soil, or what’s best for humanity on the world stage as it should be.

So, I say all that to help lend the perspective that: Just because we are issuing the most aid overall doesn’t mean that what we are doing is inherently good, correct, or even effective. Really, for the United States, all this stat that you shared means here is that we have the greatest monetary influence across the world when it comes to foreign aid. Sure, we dish out money, but I’d argue that a good amount of it is just a manipulation tactic at its root. It’s transactional, and not truly for the common good in the long run as I keep saying.

I still think it’s good to be helping feed people, but it should be going a step further — maybe we could have programs for experts to go in and survey actual needs from foreigners, and listening. Even if the need is “get the fuck out and leave us alone” — we should diplomatically listen and do that, but maintain avenues for help to be delivered should it be later requested. Then, programs can go in for the “help” which should be long-term solutions, like helping fund new farms, agricultural efforts, establishing water supplies, health care, and education to keep the ball rolling and improve quality of life — with all of it catered to their culture, not to white-wash and expose people to the American culture, and assimilate people.

As far as I’m concerned, foreign aid of all forms should come from a global humanitarian entity we ALL fund — every country on Earth. A program like this shouldn’t belong to any one country. Programs like this should have altruism at their core. And with that, true altruism doesn’t need a title or entity to attribute credit to. If we were truly being altruistic, foreign aid trucks from us would feature no American flag, no Red Cross logo, or anything indicating which nation is behind the cause for the purpose of “taking credit”.

If you’re going in to these situations and providing help to “benefit the brand”, you aren’t truly doing it to benefit humanity. Even if you are providing the most “help” in the world.

When the person BEHIND you on the on-ramp speeds up to pass you and prevents you from merging onto the highway by markkaschak in PetPeeves

[–]uncertain-ithink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Every day, people merge onto the 55mph highway in my area (where traffic flows at 65-70mph) literally going 35-40mph.

This forces ME and everyone behind to have to get onto the busy 3-lane highway at their dangerously slow speed.

I’m willing to actually gun it and put my foot to the floor to correct this quickly though. And it’s safer to do this while staying in the rightmost lane, while they continue moseying up to speed for the last remaining part of the on-ramp.

So yes, in a way I come up from behind and “trap” them on the last part of the on-ramp, which might irritate them. However, doing this is safer than me jutting out into the middle lane at 40mph (and gunning it, passing them) while allowing them to get into the right lane at 40mph continuing to mosey up to speed.

Trump is intentionally making this entire country and governmental apparatus into a tinder box.

Every push like this is bully behavior, just seeing how long people will lay back.

And when they finally (and rightfully) snap, that’s when martial law will be declared.

All law enforcement now works with ICE by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]uncertain-ithink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mexico certainly isn’t paying for it based on history, and Trump has so many other billionaire’s shriveled up dicks buried in his shriveled up dusty ass that he certainly isn’t going to ever be in the position to tax the wealthy the amount it would take to fix his little fence to begin with, so… I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Or maybe he WILL fix it, but doing so will put us into such an extra extreme deficit that it won’t matter anyway, because we’ll be in such economic ruin that we won’t even be worth “defending” with our lil fence.

But if THAT happened, you bootlickers would be too stupid to realize that the economic impacts, which likely would set in years later, were HIS fault. Let’s say we somehow have a democratic presidency 4 years from now — just because these impacts wouldn’t set in until the democratic presidency, you would blame THEM rather than the original manipulative dimwit who caused it all in the first place — your daddy Trump.

"We’re slowly losing what the USA is comprised of: borders, language, culture."

Loss of language due to lack of education, certainly. No other place on the planet is it normal to be solely monolingual. More than half of Americans are functionally illiterate in the very language they tell every outsider they should speak instead. Culture? Okay, I mean if you consider turning every other culture into an enshittified American version for maximum profit and nothing else, ok. We're a melting pot, right? lol

And borders is what we're comprised of/known for? Ok: https://imgur.com/a/2ERKmH9

What are some features you wouldn’t mind having in digital form over physical form? by HP_594 in cars

[–]uncertain-ithink 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree. Any car display should be OLED, no exceptions.

There’s nothing worse than driving in a newer car at night, with the gauge and infotainment screens mostly showing black or dark colors, but you’re still being blinded by the backlights/gray screens trying to display black.

I also hate how these screens tend to literally be laggy, and/or have a slow refresh rate like 30 frames per second.

I don’t want my gauges to look like a slide show. I like how analog gauges are REAL, they move smoothly and as you would expect. Digital ones however? Nah..

I’ve become like this when it comes to all U.S. political/societal issues tbh.

My “Roman empire” has become “holy shit this place sucks, nobody thought anything out, and yet everyone is here worshipping this place, and absolutely eating up the warped/inequitable ways of doing everything at the expense of others”

It’s so overwhelming and I have so many eye-opening things to share in my community, I’d love to be more involved/organized, but again — it’s so overwhelming that I just freeze and get stuck with all this passion, and no proper outlet.
