Or maybe he died.

Rimworld for me.

(I have never tried Dwarf Fortress.)

Honorable mention goes to War Thunder, while it isn’t on of my favorites, I was still a bit blown away to find out it runs natively on Linux.

This is something that has been occasionally happening in Europe (at least in Germany, don’t know about France) for well over 10 years now. Probably more like 15.

What’s sorely needed at this point is much more storage to make this energy available when it is needed instead of when it isn’t. Before that happens, you cannot really decommission any gas or coal power plants, because you still need them during times of much less renewable production.

That’s weird, I could have sworn it was supposed to represent masturbation…

I wonder when, if ever, Warner Bros. Is going to learn that players are actively pushing back against corporate greed and live service games are already way past the limit of microtransactions that players deem acceptable.

Some time after that actually happens.

Yes, there are a lot of players in various social networks loudly complaining about the phenomenon (although I suspect many of those are not even in the target audience to begin with), and there are even some actively boycotting these games, but so long as there are enough of them left willing to play ball, and especially some with an exploitable addiction-prone personality that can be hooked on loot boxes and microtransactions until they spend more than they have, there just isn’t anything for these companies here to “learn”. Other than “hey, this is insanely profitable”.

They may get insulted on Xitter for it, but who cares, everybody gets insulted on Shitter…

I have been sort of following Wayland’s development for over 10 years now. I have been using Wayland for over 2 years now. I have been reading and watching various lengthy arguments online for and against it. I still don’t feel like I actually know it even is, not beyond some handwavey superficialities. Definitely not to the extent and depth I could understand what X11 was and how to actually work with it, troubleshoot it when necessary and achieve something slightly unusual with it. I feel like, these days, you are either getting superficial marketing materials, ELI5 approaches that seem to be suited at best to pacify a nosy child without giving them anything to actually work with, or reference manuals full of unexplained jargon for people who already know how it works and just need to look up some details now and then…

Maybe I’m getting old. I used to like Linux because I could actually understand what was going on…

The KDE team has already determined that this is not a bug and that both you and me must just be imagining it:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481058

In a language that has exceptions, there is no good reason to return bool here…

Aw, too bad, they were working so hard on bankrupting themselves in defiance of that endless money cheat code they’ve got…

Honestly, this should be a bigger discussion, and not limited to just games. If a software company sells a software license for perpetual use to someone, they should not be allowed to use copy protection mechanisms that prevent the licensee from using it in perpetuity.

If there’s some other technical reason why the software won’t run any more after ten or twenty years, that’s another story. But if they just can’t be bothered to keep running the licensing servers, then they need to bloody well remove the stinking copy protection.

Legalisiert soll das ganze bis zur 12. Schwangerschaftswoche werden, und dann soll immer noch eine Beratung verpflichtend sein.

Frage: Wie lange dauert es im Normalfall, bis eine Frau überhaupt merkt, dass sie schwanger ist? Wie lange dauert es in ungewöhnlichen oder extremen Fällen? Wie lange muss man auf so einen Beratungstermin warten? Wie lange anschließend auf einen Termin für die Durchführung der Prozedur?

Okay, who is “they”?

Context?

It’s a lot better than the system that just randomly throws in your USB drives with your SCSI/SAS/SATA/PATA drives. Or the systems that calls everything a SCSI drive when it usually isn’t a SCSI drive.

About 20 years ago, Microsoft was found guilty and convicted, because they forced their browser on their users, driving out competitors by abusing their de facto monopoly on PC operating systems. These days, they are doing the exact same thing again, just on an even broader base. I don’t even understand how this verdict took so long.

Smartctl works on nvme drives. Use it.

btop for bling

htop for practical utility

top for minimalism, availability, reliability

Also, almost all of that is written in C, which is a successor to B, which is a simplified version of the Basic Combined Programming Language. There was never an A.

6. WebEx hat Sicherheitslücken, die im Öffentlichen agierende Security Researcher nicht gefunden haben, weil das closed source ist und man da legal nicht so einfach rankommt, während im dunklen agierende Zeitgenossen, die sich um legal versus illegal nicht kümmern, schon seit 10 Jahren auswendig wissen, wo genau man einen Stapelüberlauf provozieren kann,und welche Rücksprungadresse man da reinschmuggeln muss, damit das Ding macht, was man will…
7. WebEx hat absichtliche Sicherheitslücken, die Cisco vom Amerikanischen Staat aufobtruiert wurden, und die dann entweder durch Spionagegeschichten oder Eigenrecherche auch den Russen bekannt wurden.

Gut, in diesem konkreten Fall ist die Erklärung natürlich noch viel einfacher: Ein Konferenzteilnehmer hat über eine altmodische, unverschlüsselte Telefonleitung aus Singapur teilgenommen, und die abzuhören, war noch nie ein Problem.

I recognize Kirby, and that’s about it.
