@OfficialPCMR Both can be true, of course play the games in the difficulty you're comfortable with. But also, when designed to be difficult/challenging, games don't need to be dumbed down, just so everybody can play them, imho

In which of these 2 camps are you? We're in the freedom to play games however you want camp. redd.it/1t1jorb

that's by far more fair than "no corruption" and "high risk"😅 one must admit, corruption gets hardly ever brought to court even when it's done in public and the most recent case that got sentenced yesterday in the country's federal politics proves once more corrupt politician don't really fear harsh sentences

@tidloc @denisyurchak It's not perfect, but quite o.k. ...

I pay 50% tax in Austria. Here is what my taxes here buy: 1. Friendly social climate The playing field in Vienna is extremely levelled out. There are some old-money folks and rich oil arabs who come to shop, but most people earn about the same. As a senior engineer, you will earn about 30% more than a waiter, not orders of magnitude like in Eastern Europe. A waiter may even earn more because they get tipped in cash. I go to a premium boxing club, and the people I box with are bus drivers, policemen, and teachers. People don't hustle too much, are chill and friendly. There is very little aggression on the street, as opposed to NYC or Warsaw, for example. There is no subservient attitude in the service sector, which people from the US and Eastern Europe perceive as bad service. 2. (Almost) free education Most state universities in Austria cost under 400 euros/semester. The quality of education is high, and you can go learn anything you want, any time. Most people stay enrolled in a uni "just in case", well into their 30s. Vienna attracts tons of students, and it creates a cool young vibe (not to mention a constant influx of really hot girls). 3. Insane infrastructure The streets and public transit in Vienna are clean like an OP room. The buses are plentiful and on time. The cars in big cities are absolutely useless – you can move faster with bikes or public transport. The bike lanes are world-class - riding a bike in Vienna is safe, fast, and enjoyable. 4. Nature protection The taxpayer bucks buy a very well-preserved nature and clean water. Vienna is one of the few cities in Europe with a swimmable river. Swimming in the Danube in summer is genuinely an unbeatable experience (and maintaining it costs a lot of taxpayer money). 5. Expensive restaurants Because of the high price of labor, restaurants are expensive (and also mid-quality). Eating out daily is not a thing. Some places offer business lunches called tages menu, but most people eat at home every day. 6. No corruption The police and government officials earn a lot. The risk of getting caught for bribes is high, so bribing here is unthinkable. You can still "arrange" stuff if you know the right people, but this only works for small things and really close connections. ––– Overall, I would say this lifestyle is worth it if you are a student or 50+, have kids, and just want to chill. If you are young and entrepreneurial, Austria might hold you back more than give you for the tax you pay.

@RusBotWien @RF_OSCE @armscontrol_rus @MID_RF Man hätte auch einfach die Ermittlungen erlauben können, durch den Widerstand der Botschaft war die Ausweisung unumgänglich, da praktisch ein Schuldeingeständnis..

❗Приняли к сведению возмутительное решение МИД Австрии объявить сотрудников российского Посольства и Постпредства при ОБСЕ персонами нон грата. Считаем очередной недружественный шаг 🇦🇹 властей ничем не оправданным, политически мотивированным и категорически неприемлемым.

@lisyarus well, real-time graphics is pretty much the opposite of web, so the question doesn't match that "surprise" 🙂

So I asked students what language/platform they'd want to learn real-time graphics in, and the result was roughly 40% C++ 40% Rust 20% Zig Didn't know Zig was so popular! Also interesting that they don't seem to care about Web at all.

Noch ein großer Unterschied, der Tankrabatt reduziert lediglich das durch die hohen Preise überhöhte Plus das über die Steuern eingenommen wird. Also selbst wenn es die Allgemeinheit beträfe, wären es keine Kosten sondern eine Minderung der Übergewinne durch Steuern, also genau das was die Politik bei Großkonzernen auch einführen will 😁

Allein dass dieser Post fast 1.000 Likes hat, zeigt, wie viele Menschen in Deutschland im wirtschaftlichen Denken absolut ungebildet sind, und das ist das Hauptproblem in Deutschland. Eine Steuersenkung kostet den Staat absolut nichts. Es ist einfache Mathematik, dass von Entlastungen nur jene profitieren, die auch etwas bezahlen. Ein 9 Euro Ticket kostet den Staat Geld, weil es von der arbeitenden Mitte der Gesellschaft finanziert werden muss. Am Ende hat die Arbeiterklasse dadurch weniger Netto vom Brutto. Warum sollten Menschen für Tickets zahlen, die sie selbst gar nicht nutzen? Das ist ein erheblicher Unterschied, aber was verstehen Kommunisten schon davon …

@LeRoyDKeading @hanaamurakami It may have not been obvious enough that that's the reason I wrote that.. 😆

@tidloc @hanaamurakami That cloud is not real man

@more_tenn @PythonCEstLaVie @Grummz but it is, it's a desktop app with a GUI that gets started, it's got nothing to do with FPS. once it's up we can talk about FPS, or would you measure starting a game in "It only had 0.1 fps when I started it" because it took 10 seconds to get to the main menu..?

@PythonCEstLaVie @tidloc @Grummz But nobody thinks a run dialog is a new one time thing, it's more like clicking on a menu in a program, so fps is a perfectly fine way to measure the delta.

Microsoft just "optimized" Windows Run Dialog. It now only takes 94ms to open. Microsoft is thrilled they achieved... 10fps. They even said: "Perf was top-of-mind when rewriting Run!!!" Windows is total slop and they are still clueless. Epic's Tim Sweeny replied: "94msec? Most gamer monitors refresh every 8msec or less." I get they wanted to animate it but it's a f-ing run command, should be instant.

@chase_8bitroots @Grummz Für a desktop app with a (admittedly simple, but still) GUI? In what world? 😂

@tidloc @Grummz 94ms execution time is an eternity in software

@PeterSweden7 Didn't that cafe go broke last year..?

In Berlin there's a café that BANNED white people. That café got tax payer funding from the state. Germany now has state funded racism...

@MaurerEwald Sie feiern das die Wahlen im Bund noch weit weg sind und sie nie vorgezogene Neuwahlen zulassen werden

@Timcast Suddenly, I'm in favor of those ridiculous laws.. 😂

@RafaelSereti lol, Vienna with the German flag and the one filming is suprised to not see a single Italian.. 😆

🚨L'EUROPE DU RÉEL Vienne 🇦🇹 😱

@IfindRetards @Zesty_King3 Maybe she'll be the first one to score a hattrick..? 😆

@Zesty_King3 She won the month of April

Retard of the Week time. Who do you think should win this week?

@GlobalDiss These absolutely crazy lunatics need to be removed from positions of power or the EU will completely dismantle itself over the next years. Only other option is a revolution and I don't think they want to risk that outcome.

@Its_Nova1012 It's Missing: DOS, I only got windows 3.11 after like a week of having my first PC Now I'm at Linux, never installed/upgraded to the Spyware called Windows 11... Apple was always too closed down for me 🙂

What was the first Operating System you ever used? - Windows - Linux - MacOS And what are you using now?

@NyarchLinux @CachyOS when you see the used gpus.. 🤣

We have benchmarked Nyarch against @CachyOS and Windows 11. Here are the results: - On the gaming benchmark, Nyarch totally destroys both CachyOS and Windows - Playing 4K anime, Nyarch ties with CachyOS - On RAM usage we beat CachyOS but lose to Windows

@kangminlee Vending machine Isekai 🤣

What anime are you watching these days?
