Jeg bruger Boost for Lemmy, ligesom jeg engang brugte Boost for Reddit.

Yeah, far as I know they don't save their vods, so it's sadly a thing where you just have to get lucky on timing.

I don't have a good radio-like, but I really like listening to Club Mogra's streams on twitch. They play all sorts of anime, vocaloid, jpop. Timezone may be problematic depending on where you live.

From the article itself:

The aid figure does not include military or humanitarian contributions.

I love how you need to read 4 paragraphs, to learn it's just sensationalist trash, made only for the headline.

That said, I do wish more support went to Ukraine.

Whenever a sentence needs some indicator of humor or sarcasm, I reach for :p

People were also fast with the uno one. Saw this one earlier and wondered how it got done so fast too. Description says they helped Sawtone with the original, and had early access.

That's sadly a bit how it is. Analogue media is big in Japan, and it's probably hard to justify shipping stuff without a CD or LP. It'll be on streaming eventually, maybe iTunes or the like, but otherwise you'll have to CD or merch or something.

It's just how things get over time, people will take out something others may consider fun, to instead boost performance. Really an inevitable optimization, as something like this could have been done by human testing and external logging, instead of an external tool to simulate attempts.

In regards specifically to Trackmania, the best solution to my mind is to split the leaderboard between analogue inputs and keyboard. I know that's basically letting the program win, but it exists now, and unless they introduce random physics or performance, the door can't really be shut.

In terms of speed running, this has also been done in other games, such as TAS runs or the AI they used in SMP64 to find new strats. I don't really seeing it going away, even if it makes runs less bespoke and more like generic IKEA furniture.

Whilst developers can ban specific ads, they can't really vet them beforehand. I think you can opt out of political ads (or maybe could at one point), but technically the ad you see is just for another app.

As an alternative solution to the ones already posed by others, you can use "Google Opinion Rewards" to get enough play store credit to buy the app. Every so often it'll just ask if you googled "Ninja Coffee Bar" (literally), and give you 10-25 cents for answering, and typically a good bit more for any follow-up questions ("How helpful were the results", etc).

They also have a script patcher that makes it so you can use any font. A really useful feature if you replace fonts in programs or games, but the program doesn't fall back to a safe font if a character isn't supported.

OpenGL is a bit like Vulkan, but discontinued since... 2014, with a single update since then. It was actually stopped because Vulkan seemed better, and both API's were maintained by the same organisation.

In general it's more likely to work on older devices, but would be less performant than Vulkan.

DirectX is a Windows thing, so you'll just have those calls translated to Vulkan under the hood (DXVK). You'll probably get better performance from just setting it to Vulkan directly.

Edit: As some others say, for BG3 specifically, DXVK does a really good job. My personal experience is that "the best" option is very patch dependent. At launch Vulkan was best, then after a few patches did DXVK ran better, but personally I'm back to straight Vulkan, for no other reason than wanting to be a +1 in the statistics.
