    Exercises on lichess are one of my favorite ways to kill time. Haven’t played a real game in years but I love the low pressure of running through little scenarios, even if I can’t always grasp why the computer thinks a particular line is optimal lol

    (And you can do a bunch of them offline)



  • Unless the game is solely bottlenecked by processing stuff

    yyyyep. Pretty much any mainline GPU made since 2010 should be able to handle TF2 just fine, and if you’ve got a 1060 or better I seriously doubt your GPU is the problem. The problem is that CPU usage is horribly optimized and it can only really utilize 2 threads (not cores, threads). After that it’s your clock speed that makes a difference.

    I played competitively on a 680 and an overclocked [email protected] until I finally upgraded last year, and would only dip below 100FPS playing pubs on Halloween. In 6s I never went below 200.

    I mean, back in the day, I already used to get better performance when I would boot in Ubuntu 16 instead of Windows. Not sure that’s the case anymore with modern stock Ubuntu but I imagine Mint would still do better thanks to having less bloat. But I have trouble imagining that better shaders are going to help many people at all.

    edit: the vulkan update probably won’t help. the switch to 64 bit has the potential to be HUGE.



  • But Twin Galaxies’ own lawyer, David Tashroudian, faced misconduct claims of his own after he improperly contacted two witnesses in the case — prompting Superior Court Judge Wendy Chang, who’s overseeing the case, to consider referring him to the State Bar for discipline.

    I’m no lawyer, but this seems like small potatoes in comparison to Mitchell’s actively fabricating evidence and lying under oath. Absolutely shameful that after years of litigation TG’s case falls apart thanks to an idiot lawyer. Hope that lawyer gets paid nothing and Jobst’s lawsuit goes better; Mitchell needs to see real consequences for the years of intimidation and lies.




  • I drove cross country last year and saw signs of bedbugs in 3 of the 4 stops I’d picked out ahead of time. One of them was straight up still treating the room and even using a home remedy (had diatomaceous earth scattered all around the room) and then told me to my face they didn’t know what I was talking about. From what I hear, it’s only getting worse.

    Airbnbs might not be any more professional about handling the situation, but at least they handle a smaller volume of people.



  • On desktop there should be a small “about” link in the bottom left, from which there is a “moderated servers” dropdown menu where you can see defederated servers. I don’t see anywhere to view the servers you ARE federated with, but if it’s listed at Mastodon’s official website (whoops, I actually meant this)it’s probably in.

    I don’t see anything on the official Masto app, but that app is just missing a ton of functionality in general.
