Rockstar actually went into hiring frenzy after the last delay, and it wasn’t just QA people this time but very fundamental positions like senior physics programmers, art leads, UX engineers and so.

I actually had many friends interviewed, some hired but most scared off as R* people made it pretty clear they’re walking into a mess.

To me, R* is trying to give birth to a baby in 1 month by hiring 9 pregnant people.

In VO terms I would highly doubt capturing performances would delay anything at all, but creating/revising rest of the cinematics is a burden for the devs. And R* would know better VO isn’t a part to go skimpy. Often, VO work gets completed way before the else.

TBH Mac’s bootloader is pretty open so you can install whatever. There’s a nice distro named Asahi which you can spin up in like 5 minutes.

I’m thinking they’re doing it on purpose. Think you’re a multibazillion company, want to quit your least profitable line of work (OS business) but it’s also your most famous front. Diluting a business is how you quit without scaring investors.

To my surprise nobody delved into “open source” android code to find if any traces.

Mount & Blade. It’s not unpopular per se, but somehow I never saw anyone mentioning it around here in Lemmy.

Zurna. Definitely Zurna.

Came here to say this.

It predates LOTR just by 2 years yet I couldn’t help myself thinking how much Peter Jackson drew inspiration from it. Very similar shots, very similar visuals, very similar soundtrack, but ABYSMAL storytelling really ruins everything.

these kind of creepy stuff make me more glad I’m on iPhone.

ITT people meeting capitalism. If something’s free, you are the product.

Hey, is that OpenDyslexic font?

Esoterica is great. It’s mostly about gnostic side of western religious history. Dr. Justin Sledge is doing awesome research on the relevant topics. I’m watching that to know more about to put religion in a historical context.

I still can’t get over Varg chosen us, the Turkish people as his blood brothers like 10 years ago.

The CBI program mostly brings in dirty money.

Türkiye invested heavily into construction industry in the last three decades, so new buildings coming pretty cheap.

Most Turkish cities doesn’t have urban planning and sprawl doesn’t stop at all. Istanbul Downtown’s two extents takes 2 hours with a car, without leaving the city.

Read a borderline boring book. I prefer holy scripture for that.

Used for years, then moved into docker containers.

It’s pretty rad, especially as a domain controller.

Sure, security is the most important thing there. But I would say that’s a maintenance task and not really a development one.

Other protocols/tech you’ve mentioned already 7 to 10 years old. I don’t think they will get more love than they already did.

Title made me think… Aren’t we end of the Browser development cycle yet? What improvement browsers can benefit from now on? What else on the roadmap?

Not selfhosted - tried a lots of solutions there but each of them fell short at one point. But I’m paying for Readwise Reader for a while and it’s the swiss knife for anything you listed up there. Plus, you can enable (optional) AI summaries, including for videos.

I never had time or patience for video essays that can give once sentence idea in a minimum 8 minute video (minimum for monetization), so I just throw them at Reader, have them summarized and I’m off to go in 30 seconds.
