Similarly, you can buy cheaper high quality kitchen gear if you source it from a restaurant supply store.
Is there a minimum order size for a bulk vendor like that?

on Over 85% of Japanese game developers use generative AI in game development, 2026 CESA survey shows. An increase from last year’s 51% in c/games@lemmy.world · 17 Sep 2026
Looking it up, while the high-end gift fruits are insanely expensive (hundreds of dollars), regular fruit seems to be widely available and costs the equivalent of a dollar or two. So it’s more expensive than in Western countries, but not exorbitantly so. They also tend to be unnaturally unblemished even on the low end.
I wonder how much produce gets thrown away due to a single bruise or spot. I’m hoping it gets turned into drinks or purée for desserts or something instead.

Where Winds Meet is a Chinese free-to-play RPG that was briefly popular earlier this year. The devs actually considered it a selling point that NPCs and sidequests were entirely LLM-driven. Look up a video if you want to see some of the most awkward and cringe-inducing dialog this side of Soulstorm.

This seems weird to me. Isn’t Japanese culture obsessed with aesthetics? Like when you buy fast food there it actually looks neat and clean like in advertisements, and you might spend a small fortune on a couple of strawberries but they’ll be the brightest, most flawless specimens you’ll see in your lifetime. Even cheap throwaway meals are packaged like a professional food stylist went over them.
That focus on perfection seems incongruent with the slop machine that churns out soulless, derivative, and often obviously flawed ‘art’.

That is an acceptable compromise.

But which genes do you create first, pink hair or cat ears?

I still hate FOMO content like this even if they (very rarely) do reruns to let new players grab the old rewards. This kind of thing should be permanent, not something that will vanish after an arbitrary amount of time.

If you keep swapping between X and Wayland, does that make you renderfluid?

on Xbox imposes harsh new time limits for Game Pass game streaming in c/gaming@lemmy.world · 3 Sep 2026
John Riccitiello, the former CEO of EA, brought up the idea of charging for reloads in Battlefield. His explanation of predatory microtransactions perfectly encapsulates Microsoft’s thinking here:
"When you are six hours into playing Battlefield and you run out of ammo in your clip, and we ask you for a dollar to reload.
"You’re really not very price sensitive at that point in time […] and so essentially when as it happening and the reason the play first, pay later model works so nicely is the consumer gets engaged in a property, they might spend 10, 20, 30, 50 hours in the game.
“And then when you’re deep into the game, they’re well invested in it. We’re not gouging, but we’re charging and at that point in time the commitment can be pretty high.”
Basically, if you cut off someone’s entertainment mid-session, they’ll be willing to pay a higher price to continue than they normally would.

used bits in place of dot and dashes
So instead of a trinary system (dash, dot, pause) where the length of the signal indicated the type, it switched to a simple off/on with no need to delay on each bit? It’s surprising it took so long for someone to come up with that improvement, or was it mainly held up by needing someone to invent technology to automatically encode/decode the stream?

nftables sounds like a descriptor for a crypto scam.

There’s an image going around showing a bar chart of GitHub uptimes over the last several years. It was steady as a rock until Microsoft took over, then it started dipping like crazy and never recovered.
Man, remember when three nines was the standard uptime guarantee?

The kernel handles memory, so it’s only fair it takes a share of the blame!

Go full Russian roulette and include the OOM killer itself in the list of targetable processes.
The original Fable did clichés well, though. Like the player is descended from the old royal line of Albion, but it’s so buried in vague hints that you need to read a bunch of lore to find out. It never matters to the story or gameplay until 3, it’s just a cool background fact.
