Yeah in my 25 years of experience, none of them have ever done that.

We’ve all done stupid stuff like this. The trick is to pad time into estimates to account for it :D
Both. I tend to let the -arr apps decide.
I was okay with them getting Blizzard because, well, how much worse could Blizzard actually get with the merger?
But this? I sincerely hope this never happens. Valve isn’t the complete shit-show that Blizzard has been. Valve actually understands its customers and seemingly, mostly, respects them. Please for all things good in this universe, keep it that way.
Or, the game devs/publishers could get a clue and realize that the already-supported anti-cheats on Linux work perfectly fine and do the job, not requiring the Linux community and vendors to jump through more hoops to satisfy their unfounded paranoia.
In the meantime I’ll continue not buying and playing their games.
Instead of a stream of consciousness, maybe gather your thoughts into a more coherent and succinct post.
Perhaps a simpler query would be:
If the US was utterly destroyed overnight, how would these standards continue? Is there a plan in place for such an event?
Such a query doesn’t rely on conjecture, opinion, or politics to ask the question and get to the answer. It simply poses a hypothetical.
So basically don’t be stupid when on a network you don’t control. I mean I would think that would be common sense by now. Just because you’re on a VPN doesn’t mean that the local network doesn’t have some semblance of capabilities.
And maybe I read it wrong, but perhaps don’t use DHCP on a network you don’t control. Wouldn’t that wholly mitigate this?
I get that this is concerning for people who don’t know any better. But I don’t think it’s as devastating as the title makes it sound.
Well I guess I’m done with SO now.
Ah, Lunduke. No thanks.
Glad I dumped Windows in favor of an OS that doesn’t suck.
I’ll grab the popcorn while I watch the dumpster fire of what Microsoft is doing to Windows, from the comfort of my Linux-running system.
Obligatory BTW I use Arch.
Yet it’s worse than fascism. It’s oligarchy + fascism. People have money tied to it which leads them to double down on all of it.
These workers were fired simply because it could hurt the stock price. And since the US has subpar labor laws, and half the voting populace who seem quite happy with fascism, the country is quite screwed.
Yes, they actually do. They’re tokens of ownership that can easily be converted to money. It’s called an asset.
This is why this world is so fucked. People quibble over definitions of things while the rich assholes running the show get richer.
And so many in this thread want to keep it that way.
Oh well, not like I can convince anyone here of anything, nor do I care to try. Keep believeing what you want.
Let’s take that logic outward a step…
Stocks are digital these days. Cryptocurrency is digital. So you’re basically saying those should be licensed to people, not owned.
Ownership has nothing to do with the tangibility of the thing in the age of the Internet. And to say otherwise is missing the point of ownership in the first place.
If I outright buy a movie, whether digital or not, I should own it – be able to download it, play it whenever I want, in perpetuity. If I subscribe to a service such as Disney+, then I fully know that I am purchasing a license to view their content.
The logistics of providing such ownership is the cost of doing business, just like it is for Blu-ray. I would argue that ownership should be even easier, logistically, for digital goods because there is no actual manufacturing effort involved (aside from initial production of, say, a movie).
The only reason companies want to license digital goods, instead of providing ownership to those who buy it, is greed (edit: and control).
Pretty sure they’re referring to “poof” which is a derogatory term for a gay man in British vernacular. In any case, the context in which it was used clearly wasn’t intended as the derogatory term, rather to mean “suddenly”.

Mozilla Firefox 124 Is Now Available for Download, Here’s What’s New
This release updates the Caret Browsing mode to also work in the PDF viewer and adds support for the Screen Wake Lock API.
by Marius Nestor March 18, 2024
The Mozilla Firefox 124 open-source and cross-platform web browser is now available for download ahead of its official unveiling on March 19th, 2024, so it’s time to take a closer look at the new features and improvements.
Mozilla Firefox 124 looks like a small update that only updates the Caret Browsing mode to also work in the PDF viewer and adds support for the Screen Wake Lock API to prevent devices from dimming or locking the screen when an application needs to keep running.
This release also adds support for using HTTP(S) and relative URLs when creating WebSockets, as well as support for the AbortSignal: any() static method, which takes an iterable of abort signals and returns an AbortSignal (more details are available here).
For Android users, Firefox 124 enables the Pull to Refresh feature, which is now more robust than ever, by default and adds support for the HTML drag and drop API when using a mouse, which accepts plain text or HTML text by the drop operation from external apps.
For macOS users, this release uses the fullscreen API for all types of full-screen windows, promising a better match to the expected macOS user experience for full-screen spaces, the Menubar, and the Dock. If you want to disable this feature, you’ll need to set the full-screen-api.macos-native-full-screen preference to false in about:config.
During public beta testing, Firefox 124 also offered the long-awaited Cookie Banner Blocker feature that instructs Firefox to automatically refuse cookie banners for you and the Quick Actions feature that lets you quickly perform various actions from the address bar. However, these features were available up until the sixth beta version and they aren’t present in the final release.
As mentioned before, Mozilla will officially announce the Firefox 124 release tomorrow, March 19th, 2024. Until then, you can download the official DEB package for Ubuntu/Debian distros or tarball binary from Mozilla’s download server.
Of course any article can be biased, but this one has cited sources, at least. It would take further digging to determine if those sources are credible.

In my opinion and based on my past reading on the subject, the simple fact that it’s a religious organization is enough to dissuade me from giving them anything. It is no small statistic that religious organizations are corrupt, hypocritical, expect obedience over tolerance, anti-union, anti-LGBTQ, ultra-conservative, and generally support the notion that people must be submissive to their authority.
I’ll continue to donate to secular organizations that do genuine good.
I so want to see Reddit die. I browsed the site for the first time in 2007. I adored it. Now it is nothing but a cesspool of morons trying to find an echo chamber for their idiocy, led by king of the morons, Spez.
It’s time for better competition in this space and the Fediverse is one step toward that goal.
Oh I used some interesting IDE-based searching. QA closed the ticket so apparently I got them all! Haha.
Well-deserved, I’m sure.
A little curious of why Torvalds hasn’t been a recipient of this award. He has two quite notable pieces of software that has lasting influence and enormous commercial acceptance.
