But the problem is not AOSP, but Google? This reference and forking could be done to any code or math out there, why is it somehow "not ok" only when AOSP comes into play? I personally cannot think of anything that would be a specific halting factor exclusively because it's AOSP. If your issue is with Google, then find a trustworthy fork that you like. You definitely ain't alone in hating Google, especially compared to the people developing these alternate OS's.

All that to say, why are you "flipping it on me" to "prove they no longer pull code from AOSP", when that wasn't even the target to hit, or the question.

If your issue is with Google, take issue with Google. Likewise, if your issue is somehow "literally everything Google has ever touched, even if they have no part in it today, or ever again." Then I got nothing. If you're that horny on main to burn Google to the ground, start writing your own mobile phone OS I guess, I simply don't see any other way you're going to hit that mark.

I mean... as an autistic person, when your only statement is "I've done this, this, and that. Nobody understands!" Your statement is very critically missing anything to do with what people are failing to understand, or what you're trying to accomplish. Autism can be hard, but complaining about this as an issue while not actually demonstrating an issue, and actually demonstrating a complete non-issue, is not going to get any help for yourself.

All you have specificied here is that you:

• Do things
• Aren't understood

What are we supposed to get out of that? Sure, nobody is understanding, but you've given nothing to interpret or understand.

If you have issues saying what you have issues with, I can relate, that is something I deal with. Expressing yourself can be hard. What makes it harder is not trying to express anything, because that "expressing" is hard. Express anything, even if it isn't perfect or close to what you're thinking, because at least you can hear yourself say it and think "oh, yea that is NOT it." Eventually you'll be left with whatever it is.

~~Admittedly, they were quoting someone else in the message you responded to. That may have been edited after the fact, but the person they're quoting did in fact say those words ("this is big").~~

It was I who couldn't read, as that is not what happened.

You may want to do some research. The first bit is uhhhh... plain incorrect. The chromium based things, sure, I guess that could be said despite it being an open source project and easily forked.

Of course it does? That's like one of the main headlining features of both Signal and Telegram, and why people were looking at either instead of Whatsapp. And it was even louder than Telegram about it, since telegram uses (or used) a closed source encryption, while Signal was vocally using an Open Source encryption standard if I remember correctly.

And the people driving them are still learning the quirks for specific circumstances. Many drivers know you need to let a fuel car warm up more or to give it extra gas in XYZ scenario, but those same people won't always know what to do when switching to electric. Or they might instead do something that helped on a fuel vehicle, but actively harms on an electric, especially with the many manufacturer specific options that have no consistent naming. Hopefully we get some naming consistency soon, if for nothing else than ease of use.

When the context is involving climate, electricity rates, and money, there is little overlap between all of the Americas. It makes sense to tighten it down to the top half (more similar climates, etc) or bottom half (electricity rates for example). Canada has the wealth and the electricity rates to make heat pumps extremely viable, and for the most part climate too. The USA shares a lot of this. The Central/South Americas do not overlap like this with Canada.

There's a chance you might not notice it for sure, though most can tell immediately when they get put in front of a standard 60hz display. It might be worth a look at the UFO test for both your eyes and monitor. It should be very noticeable if your eyes are doing the tricking, or the monitor isn't performing correctly on that site. If you have a newer phone that has a 90hz+ display, you can also use that as a sanity check.

I haven't heard of that site before and their writing seems... odd. Theres still a couple things that it could be, though they get more funky. It could be that FRC is enabled on the monitor, which on some caused issues with high refresh rate, or adaptive sync (gsync/freesync). It could also (still, if you're unlucky) be the cable, or port on your GPU, or the GPU itself if it doesn't support Display Stream Compression if it's too old. There's also a chance that the GPU straight up can't do 4k while your settings are set to 120hz, or vice versa, or even more fun, it might claim to be doing one of those, while doing neither (or just one, but saying it is doing both/neither). Monitor issues are the worst lol.

Anyways, sorry if I couldn't help. I'm certain there's a pretty good chance it is not your eyes, but between Windows... being as it is, and monitors being notoriously annoying to diagnose, it's not a fun one to track down.

The default settings are definitely a large contributer there. Once you change a handful, it should be better. Worth mentioning though, there is still a noticable performance drop as the city gets larger, supposedly the biggest drop is early on ie 0 population to 2000 or so, from what I've heard.

CityPlannerPlays has a video up for what settings are important to play. Personally I will mention that in the "advanced" settings you can change the AA to "TAA" which should be better than the others, it's just hidden in the normal menu. I imagine DigitalFoundry will have a in-depth performance/settings video up sometime soonish, but I have no idea for sure.

Edit: if I had working eyes, I would have seen that they put their own suggestions in the steam post as well. Either way, worth checking out CPP for addition info I guess.

Those are extremely different compared to Freiren. Freiren is a story of time and connection, not action or fighting. There still is action, but it is always there to support the story or a character. If you watched SummerTime Rendering, while also a very different anime, the way action is involved is similar.

Either way though, no harm in trying it out for a few episodes. You might find something new you like, or you might not. Only way to find out for sure is to try it for a couple episodes, and all you lose is 40 minutes.

Dang, I was hoping that was the issue since it's so easy to fix haha. May I ask what monitor you have just out of curiousity? I guess the other thing I would mention is potentially the Overdrive settings being weird, if it's too low it'll look smeary and if it's too high... well it's smeary, but "reversed" compared to low. Sorry it isn't working/noticeable for you though, it is great when it's present.

Unfortunately I'm still forced to go back now and then for specific gaming subreddits and such. And when I'm digging down a rabbit hole of software/hardware issues on my system. All in all though I probably go back once or twice a week though, so it's not that bad.
