I agree. Even for gaming just the fps is misinformed. It doesn't account for latency and is kind of a arbitrary limit that became industry standard.

Consider a 60fps or 144fps stream can still be out of sync for example you might have experienced watching the same video stream on two different devices and one is more ahead compared to the other while both are the same framerate (one having higher latency from the source).

24fps is good for most real video, animations even dial back to way less animating on 4s, 3s or 2s is common practice. However while gaming you may want higher fps (usually corresponds to lower latency) to allow you to respond in a timely fashion mostly because our brains are quite slow. For embedded applications even if there is movement it should never ever need a 60fps source.

Example clients: Mudlet, zMUD, kMUD, mushclient

It's in a way comparable to the difference between a novel and a movie or a novel and a comic/manga.

Really before the term MMO was coined these type of games where called "graphical MUDs"

Also Runescape started as "DeviousMUD".

Neverwinter, Runescape, Tibia, Ultima online, Everquest and more all formed from MUD lineage.

This is like saying we have been getting a lot worse at walking since the advent of the car but it has allowed us to practice global trade in the end.

Yes cars are a part of the solution but there are a lot more factors at play.

A calculator does not do math, a calculator (and computer) calculates or computes. The math is the study and understanding of the problem space (and the problem solving) that the human is doing behind the calculator.

"solve vastly more complex problems" the calculator has accelerated this but it is not really a cause effect relation. The advancements in the understanding of the complex problems could've also happened without calculators and the computation could have been done instead (for example) with 1000 people in a bunker.

Edit it was not visible from the discussion link but it is visible from the issue link below. Also it seems to be transferred over from a totally different repo?

However even if the app is secure the storage and handling of the information is a different matter and it has been shown that care is not always taken.

It would be a difficult choice but would it really be so bad to be excluded from such a society? Don't a lot of people from silicon valley dream to be farmers in the wildlands?

Additionally the amount of elderly that don't have or can't use a phone or don't have anyone that can help them with it will decrease rapidly anyway. In my experience it's mostly the same generation as the people that remember WWII.

  And yet, strangely, Americans are probably reading more words than ever before. 

People do read more than ever. But we don't recognize it as such. We read on our phone while intermittently reading subtitles of Netflix in the background. We read every time we look at a computer, phone, advertisement etc. But we only count reading paper as "real reading".

The shape of reading is changing yes. I think the "deep" thinking associated with reading has always been a bit of an elitist idea. Why would reading 1000 words of a great philosopher be any different from reading 1000 words of smut online. In some way losing this kind of stigma will make reading more accessible.

Writing and publishing is dying first. And that has to go long before reading dies anyway.

To go deep into it I feel like social gameplay is required but there are plenty of opportunities to consume Eve Online in short bursts. Even when connected with a Corp or other player organizations like Red vs Blue. I found there is also a lot of mechanics that can be enjoyed solo or with light socialization.

To anyone considering it: I would encourage you to jump in with a free account and try it out! and fly safe!

There are concepts in the game that would be unlikely in a simulation game but are common in MMO's. Think of fast travel, instance dungeons and more.

One of Eve Online's strengths is that it conforms gameplay to the MMO setting. That is one of the main driving factors in it's design and allows for example for Time dilation, huge battles and continuous universe and economy that it is famous for.

This is different from for example World of Warcraft, in my view that is a RPG first MMO second. That is one of the reasons it has sharding and smaller pvp battles.

I suspect that 90% of the people that "need" carplay are actually just using it as a bluetooth speaker and would be fine with a good phoneholder and bluetooth/aux connection.

I always feel strange connecting to someone else their carlpay or to a rental car.

I'm not to sure about that. I rarely keep my camera (close to) fully horizontal.

I can't count the amount of times that I was looking for a solution to a problem and I found it on a 7/10yo forum post.

I have seen people being locked out as early as 2011 of accounts that could only be unlocked by sending a copy of an ID. Due to regulatory change of saving of information based on age (first 13 and above was ok, then became 16 and above).

As always with tracking, the value is in the metadata.

The knowledge if you are or are not above a certain age is already privacy invasive but not that relevant for tracking or ads.

But with ZKP at least you won't need to send your creditcard, copy of ID and address to the 3rd party to verify.

I take it you don't know about "X11Forwarding yes" or "html5 web app"

  For browsers, capabilities like connecting to Unix sockets have been dismissed as extremely niche

If you don't want to pay for streaming own up to it, buy it on physical or steal it (make an illegitimate copy). But don't pretend you would pay for it if it was delivered in a different agreement.

Do you expect to keep driving a rented car forever? Even if the car is only available through rent?
