    I didn't mean people should buy it or that they should support brave, I'm just saying that this is another way for them to make money. I agree with you

    the way I took it is that it's more for supporting brave than for actually removing the bloat. removing the bloat is just a bonus, similar to merch, otherwise it doesn't make much sense

    I didn't mention resistance because it was actually the easiest for me to understand, it's just really intuitive

    I never really understood, and any definition I read, I just forget after a while. can someone explain in a way that I won't forget.

    the water analogy doesn't help as I get confused between them. also, Watt is the most confusing for me shouldn't it with some unit of time ? like I could say how much water is flowing per second but just saying how much water is flowing without the time wouldn't be very useful, it could be seconds, minutes, hours. yet, the Watt is never written with respect to time, why is that?

    I mean the blue light filter that's built-in in most phones and computers. on Windows, it's called "Night Light" and on most android phones, it's called "Reading mode".

    so my question is, do I need not that at all and if the glasses accomplish the same thing? or if they're completely different things. I don't even know if the Anti-Reflective coating provides any protection from blue light.

    also I read that blue light can disrupt sleep but I don't really have any problems sleeping, even though I don't use the night light/reading mode

I don't know much about rockets but I would like to learn. the official nasa website and youtube channel seem to be... dumbed down and also doesn't actually explain much about Artemis II except for showing images and videos taken from it/of it

    about Control, I just downloaded it because it was suggested to me recently, but it has really bad anti aliasing. like I can see aliasing everywhere. is this just how the game is ?

    also having a few other issues, if I use DX12 then the all textures are very low quality, switching to DX11 fixes this but DX11 has an even worse issue. the game starts fine but as soon as I move the mouse, the screen just goes black. searched online a bit and apparently this can be caused because of overclocking the GPU but I've never done that. couldn't find a good solution at the end. but atleast low quality textures are bearable, the aliasing however is really bothering me :( the settings only have MSAA upto 4x afaict

    Edit: forgot to mention I'm using the Epic version

    For example, games like Superliminal (solving puzzles), The Stanley Parable (exploration) and the upcoming Subliminal.

    The backroom games I've looked at tend to be just about walking and walking and it gets really boring. I played the game called "Pools" and though I liked the aesthetic, I just got so bored because there wasn't anything to do at all other than just looking around and walking. any suggestions?

    it doesn't have to be an alternative to wikipedia, it can be it's own thing. the really cool thing about wikipedia is that the community can compile all the relevant details from different sources into one article. if AI can do it, it'd be nice. because a lot of the time, the information you need is scattered around different web pages, articles, comments on reddit etc. and about hallucinations, imo perplexity has reduced the hallucinations quite a bit, I think it's reliable enough. but again, it doesn't have to be a replacement for content written by humans, just sort of something to exist alongside it. and in fact, I think it'd be pretty efficient if not everyone is generating content on it, like imagine if used the best LLMs available now (e.g. GPT 5 with the highest reasoning effort with mixture of agents). basically quality over quantity. if done right, it could actually be higher quality than some of the "educational" websites
