PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•'It Was a Positive': Resident Evil Requiem Dev Is Pleased by Heated Reaction to DLSS 5 Grace[Kumazawa: "they really liked the original design of Grace and didn't want to see it changed was a positive]English
4·1 month agoParaphrasing happens all the time for titles to compress what someone has said. But often it’s done to confuse rather than inform.
If you want to stick with a true quote “we got the design right” fits. You could then alter the following title to further clarify:
‘we got the design right’: Resident Evil Requiem Dev Pleased Fans Prefer Original Design Over DLSS 5 Grace

Edit: Or even better:
‘We Got it Right the First Time’: Resident Evil Requiem Dev Is Pleased by Heated Reaction to DLSS 5 Grace
Either way, the issue is the paraphrased quote. “it was a positive” is literally just the same as the title that follows it. It adds no context.

41·1 month agoThe “intent” of the title is to leave out context, to let readers jump to more clickbaity conclusions.
You yourself are saying “I got it right based on this additional detail I already knew”.

42·1 month agoIt removes enough context to enable other interpretations. Such as “all publicity is good publicity, who cares that they didn’t like it”.
It basically allows people to get it wrong, while technically still matching the original intent. This way, at least some people will jump to conclusions that are more clickbaity.
You got it right. But I, and clearly a lot of others, raised our eyebrows.

Title taking things out if context, is out of context.

73·2 months agoThere’s a difference between using AI to apply fixes for problems, and using AI to find problems that you didn’t know about.
Mythos does the latter, not the former.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I made a custom icon theme that combines the best parts of my favourites
4·2 months agoAh, no. I’m not familiar with how to do that.
But I wouldn’t think so? I’m more familiar with KDE, but with it at least I’ve always found ways to edit some files somewhere to accomplish what I want.
So far.
For this I’ve just been creating folders and setting their icons manually.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I made a custom icon theme that combines the best parts of my favourites
6·2 months agoYou mean the icons?
At least in KDE dolphin, you can edit any folder and set the icon as whatever you like. It’ll follow the theme color too, if you use the right icon.
The qpwgraph workaround works in the matrix clients as well, but passing media audio into a WebRTC stream meant for voice is not ideal. Any decent client is likely to heavily filter out background audio (which with a game would be a lot of the ambient soundscape), and the audio would in some cases end up mono.
Broadcast-box is on the simpler side, if self hosting. If not, there is a public free-to-use instance here: https://b.siobud.com/
Honestly, that means peer to peer, not centralised
Peer to peer vs a server does not have significant latency difference. There is one, but not one universal enough that’d make latency the reason to choose the former in most cases.
OBS will use large buffers (multiple seconds) that are then sent out to the server.
It doesn’t. Streaming from OBS over WHIP is able to get down to about 300ms of latency, and that’s when watching via a server, rather than peer to peer.
The main source of streaming latency (the buffer you mention) happens when using the older HLS standard.
WHIP or WebRTC HTTP Ingestion Protocol (and the other end for clients, WHEP) allows software like Broadcast-box to be just as fast as conferencing screenshares in peer to peer video calls. Because it is the same tech.
Matrix has MatrixRTC (or whatever they call it) but you will need the Element client and will need to activate RTC in the “labs”. Not sure if it’s in the stable build or the beta.
MatrixRTC voice, video and screenshare is in element, comment and cinny. It does not need to be enabled in labs. Its main problem at the moment is the lack of system audio when sharing the screen.
OBS with Broadcast-box allows you to achieve real-time video sharing with audio, with full control of the video stream audio and quality thorough OBS’s recording and encoder settings. And to watch, your friends need no accounts or anything, they just open the broadcast-box link in a browser.
No?
The fastest I got it down to was about 30 seconds of stream delay. It’s a limitation of HLS, which will never be truly fast.
Owncasts own guides state:
If you require real-time, video conferencing style latency you may want to look for a different solution that doesn’t use HLS video, as this scaling and distribution model will never get to sub-second levels.
Not even. You can share a stream link.
Owncast already mentioned, and while it’s good, it doesn’t achieve real-time streaming like discord does. It’s more of a twitch replacement for streamers with an actual audience thanks to it’s ActivityPub support (in that people on stuff like mastodon can “subscribe” to the server).
MatrixRTC is still new and while it’s already being used to provide voice channels in clients like element, cinny and commet, as of now none of them can stream gameplay with audio.
For this I’m currently using Broadcast-box. Self-hostable, but the dev also provides a public instance.
It uses WHIP to stream over WebRTC (OBS is compatible) to achieve less than half second latency. More than fast enough to feel like “real-time” if in a voice-chat with friends. And you can push the video quality past what any platform like youtube, twitch or discord will allow.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is it possible to have a usable domain without a VPS or a static IP address?English
3·3 months agoI don’t have a static IP, and I just make sure to never ever let my DHCP lease expire. My ISP provides the same IP to the same MAC when renewing the lease. My longest streak on the same IP was three years.
As long as I always turn my router off by cutting the power, it won’t release the lease, so I keep my IP even through reboots. My last one didn’t release the lease at all, so it only ever got a new IP if it was off for over a day, or if I set a new MAC.
When my IP does change, I’ve configured my DNS record to only last an hour. So updating the domain to point to a new IP only takes an hour to update.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Suggest linux `File Manager` w/ Features and Extensions. Also which are fast in implementing suggestions.
18·3 months agoHaving ideas is generally not enough.
Volunteers don’t take requests. They take suggestions. They only act on the ones they want to.
If you want something to actually get implemented, offering a monetary reward, hiring a dev to contribute, or contributing yourself, is the best way to go.
I’ve gotten several features I wanted into software I use, by adding them myself.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Bethesda says Nvidia's controversial new DLSS 5 AI filter "will all be under our artists' control, and totally optional for players"English
41·3 months agoYeah. Previous generations of DLSS were about achieving the same result with less.
DLSS 5 is about “improving” what was previously the end result, even in cases where DLSS wouldn’t have been needed in the first place.
Nvidia is claiming it achieves “hollywood movie cgi” fidelity.
In practice it looks like the result is just not pleasant.

Not on stock ROM. IIRC back when I was messing with that kind of thing, you needed a custom kernel.
