With Lutris it just worked.


Not when I tried it the first couple of times. At some point Proton (and then probably Wine?) got updated to fix the bug triggered by one of the game updates months before that and it has worked since.

I'm no stranger to messing with Wine to get Windows executables to work. Whatever the GOG release did different, it just didn't work once the intro logos were gone, even with the same Proton version that worked with the Steam version.


Sadly, this. There are even networks. I know a person who begs on a specific interval of a subway line, has been for at least a decade, and has been pretty violent towards actual beggars who did not know the rules.

Some are genuine. People who went into debt, with health issue that prevented them from ever repaying it, fleeing from families so as not to burden them...

Smugglers who were found out, left with an unpayable amount of debt while the politicians that used to protect them went without punishment.


You hire caring direct reportees.


Nah, you'll get yelled at if bosses solution you have implemented brings further trouble. Mostly for not fixing it for them.


Hmm, sounds like the spores must have come from the outside. Otherwise he'd be saying his colleague has contaminated the building with improperly stored fungal colonies and he himself let those spores contaminate his lab. So yeah, definitely from the outside.


It does. There is an implied expectation that the recipient will will not be selfish. They can pay it back, pay it forward, possibly later when they can afford it, etc., but they are expected not to be selfish and also give someone something eventually.

Your screen likely uses dithering to produce 1-2 LSBs of each color channel of this piece of graphics right now.


Physics.


It's not cheap for streaming. It's harder to compress and is lost in the process. The video codec is a smart low pass filter.


The AV1 codec has support to tell the decoder to generate fake film grain, so you can add back all the noise lost in compression.

Although I don't think it's very widely used, I dunno if that's due to the compressors or decompressors.


It needs to be done by the client and not be part of the actual video stream, otherwise it doesn't even work. When done by the client it's cheap.


Not so cheap if your hardware decoder only supports 8-bit color, which is a common limitation of H.264 decoders in particular.


Quantize to 16 bits.
