Have they made a hard announcement that they will not have another home console generation or is that just inferred from their public strategy?

They put a lot of care into that announcement page and showing the major features visually. Great job!

I take my son to the barber and we have a haircut together.
If it was just myself I wouldn’t notice when my hair was long but I can see it on him so I know when its time.
Great to see!
I tend to just use the betas for a quick smoke test to check my project still builds.
The RCs are generally stable enough to use as a daily driver. And if for some reason its not then now’s the time to find those bugs before the release.
1·1 year agoStupid article needs a before and after comparison.
Instead it has way too many ads.
“It’s a bit technical,” begins Birdwell, "but the simple version is that graphics cards at the time always stored RGB textures and even displayed everything as non linear intensities, meaning that an 8 bit RGB value of 128 encodes a pixel that’s about 22% as bright as a value of 255, but the graphics hardware was doing lighting calculations as though everything was linear.
“The net result was that lighting always looked off. If you were trying to shade something that was curved, the dimming due to the surface angle aiming away from the light source would get darker way too quickly. Just like the example above, something that was supposed to end up looking 50% as bright as full intensity ended up looking only 22% as bright on the display. It looked very unnatural, instead of a nice curve everything was shaded way too extreme, rounded shapes looked oddly exaggerated and there wasn’t any way to get things to work in the general case.”
This should have been easy enough to illustrate.
Edit: Here is a greyscale illustration of a similar phenomenon:
From https://www.odelama.com/photo/Developing-a-RAW-Photo-by-hand/Of course in reality it get a bit more complex when we perceive colors as having different brightness too:

This sounds like a jump the shark moment
So you can shit on me
No, I’m genuinely curious about the different clients we, the Lemmy community, have available. Knowing their strengths and weaknesses helps people make informed choices.
OP couldn’t post a picture as a picture format?
GIF is a picture format. It may contain multiple frames or it may not but it is a perfectly standard pallet based image format that has been around for 37 years (for comparison its older than zip or PDF). This is not the same as linking to a 1 second YouTube video.
My current client (Boost) is also treating it as unzoomable, but that is clearly a defect in my client. Even if it was an animation I would want to be able to zoom. Its something to raise with the developer.
In the meantime I just opened the link in my browser:

It’s basically a universal format.
True, it even has “interchange” in the name!
CompuServe encouraged the adoption of GIF by providing downloadable conversion utilities for many computers. By December 1987, for example, an Apple IIGS user could view pictures created on an Atari ST or Commodore 64.
- Sony pictures is one of the “big 5” Hollywood studios (11% market share)
- Sony music group the second largest music company in the world (22% market share)
Its usually easy to avoid using their hardware directly but they have a pretty big slice of media.
I think “better” might be the wrong question.
*When has the American not been redundant when compared with the original?" Might be more appropriate.
As a Aussie I appreciated the original productions of Wilfred and Review as the surrealist masterpieces they are. That said the US remakes told their own stories. Saying one is better than the other ignores the fact they both have value and are doing their own thing.
