That's a cool board. I've been thinking about something in similar form factor, kind of missing old slide phones with physical keyboards. The idea of building out little mesh devices for a local emergency network is quite interesting. Maybe with a few supernode base stations built around RasPis to act as data-storage/relays/service-providers...
They keep saying "study" but this isn't a study, it's a math paper. This is a "model." The "model" shows this and that and those things, not "the study" of which there wasn't.
And what the "model" shows is that instead of invisible mass we can't see causing gravity, it could be alternating layers of invisible positive and negative mass.
There's even less evidence for negative mass being possible than for many dark matter candidates that "only" have to be massive and non-interacting (or weakly) with photons. It's always cool to kick around some new possibilities but this seems pretty weak. Negative mass opens up a big old can of worm(holes) too.
It's because they ruined Linux! Damn Linux users!
Most people have the media literacy of cabbage and wouldn't know a good story if it slapped them in the face with a huge pair of anime tits.
I'm light-years past caring what anons have to say about anything culture related.
I've absolutely driven past a cop who was playing WoW on his laptop while sitting in traffic.
She lost that dump truck ass the feather duster form had, change her back!
Reminds me of Diablo and how in the years after the original you'd see so many clones with "from one of the people who worked on the original Diablo." I think Torchlight, Titan Quest, and Nox all got advertised this way at one time. I mean it's pretty common in any industry. How many movies have you seen advertised as being directed by "the creators of hit movie whatever" and its like the 3rd unit DP in charge?
Our city just got federal funding to buy electric city busses. Those hold up to 50 people and don't look like a child's idea of a future car, and probably also don't spontaneously combust and kill all their passengers.
My big brained billionaire coyote boyfriend wants to invite a roadrunner into the mix but I haven't worked through my feelings about casual polyamory yet and also I am a ghost bigfoot

Seriously! Thanks to all the meme makers out there for supporting Lemmy/Kbin/etc and keeping the alternatives to the corporate internet alive and fun!

I was trying to think on the history of this feature, since i wouldn’t necessarily count something like AvP's heatvision mode. That's meant to simulate a real thing, even if it works a bit gamey, by highlighting active objects.
Assassin's Creed is the game that, for me, codified the mechanic into it's current form. Hawk Vision or whatever they called it specifically highlighted game objects. I think they even mention that the animus machine is projecting that view to help Desmond see the world how his ancestors would have understood it.
But... I'm going to call the origin as being way farther back. In flight sims, your targeting hud can highlight enemies and targets by drawing little boxes around them. That is the very first instance I can think of where a game highlighted objects of interest for the player's benefit. Most flight sims (or adjacent genres like mech sims) would also label the box with the name of the thing, sometimes with health, ammo, weapon, or weakpoint indicators as well.
