I didn’t know about this project, so I took a quick look around.

I didn’t see any mention of Telemetry or Metrics, but I assume they can use this:

After starting Tails and connecting to Tor, Tails Upgrader automatically checks if upgrades are available and then proposes you to upgrade your USB stick. The upgrades are checked for and downloaded through Tor.

Still, I just gave this a few minutes, so there could be more.

Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic cooperation agreement on Control 2 and bringing Control and Alan Wake to film and television

I’m not sure this is going to directly affect that, because their deal talks mainly about financing for the Control game, and the other news is about movie adaptations, so probably it is going to be another team, lead by the newly re-hired Hector Sanchez, working on that…

But who knows, this kind of things are always hard to follow from the outside

To add to CookieShovel’s answer, that is the character representing the Zhou Dinasty.

From Wikipedia:

The Zhou dynasty ([ʈʂóʊ]; Chinese: 周)[c] was a royal dynasty of China that existed for 789 years from c. 1046 BC until 256 BC, the longest of such reign in Chinese history.

Actually Obtainium is mentioned (but thank you, checking back I saw I had a typo in the github link that I had missed, and I’ve now fixed it!), but this is the first time I hear about Accrescent: is it this App store?

You are right, and I forgot to add the link to it in the opening post. I’ll edit it in!

Nitro is just a marketing term for their high end models, they usually have the Pulse which is the base and the Nitro(+) that has additional features like removable fans.

They cost more but they tend to have a better build quality, but the chip inside is the same.

AMD. Sapphire. Nitro.

Silverbullet is like that. It is not an electron or native app, you have to run a server and then get to it from the browser.

TLDR it is best run with docker or podman, but IMHO it is pretty good.

Just out of curiosity, is the mouse bluetooth?

I heard there are some intermittent problems with them on linux because of proprietary blobs and similar driver issues, but I’ve never had one, so I’ve no direct experience.

I find it funny that this is the first video where I’m consistently getting the “This helps us protect our community” and “Log in to confirm that you are not a bot” errors while using an alternative Frontend.

I’m sure it’s just a random coincidence, but it is still funny to me.

Give technitium a go, my woes diminished drastically with that.

I have a Boox Nova Air which is still going strong after around 2 years, and honestly it’s pretty good for writing. But I heard a lot of people having problems with updates bricking the device or receiving a bad unit and having an hard time returning it, if bought directly from them. I did not have to talk with support and I avoided the updates, so I can’t say more about that. My experience is overall good with it.

I also have a Kobo Libra H2O that I think is nearing the 4 years mark, and is still going really strong. The biggest problem I had was that it asks for a kobo account during setup, thing that I really dislike. I don’t know if it is still like that.

But, generally, if you want an epub compatible reader that you can mod (NickelMenu etc) and easily side load stuff to, with a kobo libra you can’t go wrong. Even if, to be fair, I’m not up to date with the latest devices and company policies.

One note: the kindle format is pretty closed and all the stuff you buy from amazon is generally DRMed to hell, so it’s not certain that you can pass it to other readers. Just avoid amazon’s ebooks.

EDIT: One thing I missed: PDFs on the default kobo software are bad, the Boox default software for PDF is far better and - in my case - there’s a screen size difference too that can make my opinion biased. Aside from that for pure book reading kobo is generally better, but you need to buy a protective case for it: there are a lot of cheap and good quality compatible ones.

I hate that I’m linking to Reddit, but I’m just reminded of this.

OT, but remember you can always use an archived link instead of a live one.

It seems it was done to marginally improve serde_derive build times? And just on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu?

It feels a pretty weird course of action, even if I can understand his point of view his official stance of “My way or the highway” seems a bit stronger than needed, especially considering the amount of problems - both moral and pratical - this modification arises.

I don’t know. If he really feel so strongly about it the only real option would be an hard fork, but a project of that magnitudo and so integrated in the ecosystem is really not easy to both manage or substitute.

Overall it kind of leave a sour taste, even if - I repeat - I understand it is his time and his decision to make.

I feel that your post is belittling a situation that, as narrated, is straight up mobbing and bullying, only acknowledging it in a small paragraph which I feel boils down to a dismissive “awful but only maybe malicious, probably just lack of oversight”, while the rest of your comment tries to find excuses and normalizing something that is not.

These:

I was asked about my sexual history, my boyfriends sexual history, “how I liked to fuck”.

I was told that certain issues were “sexual tension” and I should just “take the co-worker out on a coffee date to ease it out”

I was told I was chunky, fat, ugly, stupid. I was called “retarded” I was called a “faggot”

My work was called “dogs–t” I was called “incompetent”.

“I think the reason you try to be funny, is because you lack any other skills.” smiled then walked away.

I watched co-workers get what I had asked for weeks before they did. It took 2 months to get mine.

Also apparently some managers didn’t like me because I “hadn’t gotten drunk with them before” Which was said in that haha just jokin (but actually I’m serious) tone

Are nor normal nor acceptable: for anyone who is in a corporation where this is common place: take a step back and understand that it is not healthy for you, bad power dynamics are a real thing and the abuse of them sometimes can feel normal, especially in small businesses that get a sudden explosive growth. And I don’t even want to go into her self harming to get a day off.

You can say it was probably a single person, but the lack of action by management with phrases like “change your priorities”, “put on your big girl pants” and stuff like that makes it a Company issue, Company which indirectly accept and endorse that kind of treatment: they being so against unionizing sincerely gets a whole other meaning read under this light.

The notebook case is self evidence of it all: A small thing that normally wouldn’t be anything important, but compounded with the stressful environment got emotionally distressful. The fact that such a small thing has stayed with her so long should tell you that she was really not in an healthy mental state.

I don’t personally care about the whole LTT fiasco, as an uninterested spectator it’s fun to watch from the outside and then change channel, a blip in the media world that will most likely blow down in a couple of weeks. But reading how these actions are belittled is really distressing. Bullying is not normal, and it should never be accepted. Ever.

Click on modlog at the bottom of the page, or just add “modlog” at the instance link.

For example for beehaw it would be https://beehaw.org/modlog

This is one of the reasons I stopped buying games from steam or the various DRM enabled/account locked stores.

Now I just buy from gog, at least I can have a local backup of all the installers even if they stop providing them for a reason or another. Having to wait or miss out on some games have really lost all meaning.

If they don't want my money I'll just use them for something more useful.

EDIT: After re reading this comment it felt like I was astroturfing for the company, but I've no affiliation with them, I just like the fact of owning what I buy. I know about the difference of licensing and real owning, but I feel that if I can just use an installer whenever I want it's a lot closer to owning it.

I’m unsure how the whole cross-posting thing works, so I’m copying my comment from a cross-post here too, let me know if this is bad and how to approach cross-post comments correctly.

I had the same problem. Yesterday I could access the modlog from the lemmy.ml instance but it had a lot of repeated entries. Like a lot.

So yeah, something’s weird. On the lemmy-ui issue tracker there’s this: issue#1905 but I haven’t had the time to read it, I only skimmed it.

For the interested, Opensnitch is great for Linux.

I’m still waiting for Godus to come out of early access with all the great features and promises kept!

Any day now.
