Those games are quite well matched with cloud streaming. An example of a game which isn’t suitable for cloud gaming would be competitive FPS games such as rainbow 6 siege, where the additional delay imposed by connection between the player and the game can be quite a significant disadvantage. The only way that this would be low enough to become acceptable would be if you live close enough to the host device that the latency is very low, or or the host device is very close to the game server itself.

Theoretically, the latency between the streamer and viewers could be zero or near zero.

For playing games online, the minimum possible latency is the speed of light delay. We’re pretty much already at the limit for that one, and we’re even using a lot of pretty clever techniques to mitigate latency such as lag compensation.

Are you a millionaire? If not, why are you defending people who are? They’re actively exploiting you, making big bucks off of your hard work, and you’re calling me an idiot?

The ruling class know fine well that funding public transport would solve a lot of problems, but the problem is that it would also reduce profit for a lot of industries. So that’s why it doesn’t happen and why it won’t happen, if anyone was wondering.

The obsession with technical solutions (like these self-driving buses) is because it gives them an excuse to funnel more wealth to the wealthy.

That’s what it’s all about, it’s what it has always been about. If we want to improve our world then the people with power need to be stripped of that power, completely and utterly.

Yep, this is a solution looking for a problem really. Either that, or it’s a really bad solution to the car problem.

bringing the temperature of Paris to ~118° for 90 minutes

Ah, so global warming will take care of the problem for us! Finally some good news. /s

You’re blaming the wrong people, it’s not working class baby boomers that are responsible for our problems, it’s the wealthy ruling elite.

On Sept. 15, 33 of the 35 delivery workers in the area, including non-members of the union, accordingly halted deliveries. The incentives were paid on Sept. 19 through the secondary contractor.

Unions work. If you’re not in a union, join one. If your work place doesn’t have a union, start one. The IWW can help you, search IWW online to find out more, or if you’re in the US:

We need to change our perspectives. Electoral politics isn’t the most important thing for changing our society, it should be quite low on the list.

What we really need to do to change the world for the better is to substantially change the structure of society. We need to build an alternative structure to what exists - a series of workers co-ops, housing co-ops, social centres, industrial unions, and so on, and once we have such a structure in place we can withhold our labour and stop participating in the exploitative, destructive system that exists now. This would effectively lead to the collapse of the current system in a way that would minimise harm.

Labour isn’t left wing, they’re neo-liberal. They are center-right at best. Come on, man. I’m not howling with despair, I’m trying to explain the problems. If you’re not reasonable enough to engage with my points then there’s no point in having the conversation.

Labour aren’t going to take enough action on the things that really matter. They’re honest enough to tell you that. Are they going to hugely increase funding for the NHS? They already told us that they’re not going to, they’re going to increase funding a little bit, but focus on “””efficiency”””. Are they going to stop fossil fuel subsidies? They already said no. Are they going to increase renewable subsidies to be equal to or more than fossil fuel subsidies? Nope. Are they going to institute a wealth tax, something which was described as a “no-brainer” by economics researchers? No. They completely ruled it out.

Labour aren’t the good guys anymore, man. They’re not as evil as Tories, they’re better than the Tories no doubt, but they’re not going to save us.

Employers should be forced to pay striking workers anyways. Fuck em. Burn the whole system to the ground, it’s exploitative and abusive and it has extracted untold wealth from the working class for centuries.

I’d want the ability to swap consciousness with other people, with their consent, for a short time.

It would be interesting to see what it’s like to be colour blind, or to experience what things taste like to people who dislike food I enjoy.
