I’m not in the US and I also get most of my retirement in stock market casino chips

Do they even allow that kind of interoperability? I thought Discord was 100% our terrible browser application way or the highway?

I was worrying about precisely this. I’d be ok with blocking search engines if there was a better way of searching but AFAICT there isn’t federated search of any kind?

The mouse controls must be atrocious on a console

I think this is right on the money. The fitness function optimised is “does this convince humans”, and so we have something that’s doing primarily that.

I’m imagining him going on to do the same thing there and just going “why am I the John McClain of cybersecurity? How can this happen AGAIN???”

Hasn’t this been posted five thousand times already?

Chimera Linux (not to be confused with ChimeraOS, a variant of SteamOS). It introduces itself like this:

Chimera is an independent, general-purpose, rolling-release Linux distribution developed from scratch. It utilizes a FreeBSD-based userland, musl C library and the LLVM toolchain, along with the dinit service manager. Its primary focus is correctness, consistency and simplicity, but not at the expense of feature set; its primary desktop environment is GNOME

It’s worth mentioning that it’s a Linux without GNU (though not for the sake of being that). In general I think projects like this one has a value from a ecosystem diversity perspective too, which also has become immediately apparent when Chimera Linux wasn’t hit by the two last security issues I learned about (the recent SSH regression and the xz debacle).

I’m particularly impressed with their relatively lean setup, but I haven’t had opportunity to use it yet. It’s a bit too immature for my desktop use and I’m already happy with the server I have so it makes no sense to switch.

I looked at getting a 5G router and I’m not surprised to see the whole thing not kicking off given how insanely expensive they are

Sounds like we may have an easier conclusion to draw here

No need to be that maximalist. Don’t self host email on a desktop machine you turn off.

Someone described open source as the commons of capital and I guess that’s not entirely incorrect. The availability of boring things like server operating systems, encryption libraries, etc, cheapens many commodities to the point where they are viable because people can afford them. Imagine the price of whatever IoT trinket is in vogue if the maker had to roll every software it touches from scratch.

Oh oh!!! I had the same experience but with an AMAZING anticlimax. So when the game came out it was only available for purchase in a localised version, with a horrible Swedish dub.

For context, Sweden has an official policy of not dubbing essentially anything for anyone over maybe seven years old. No other game I know of was translated even (except the sims), and certainly not dubbed. We made fun of how terrible and corny that version was for years. It sounded like morning cartoons for babies, probably because the same cast who did Sailor Moon and Pokémon did it.

I’ve never played the real version, and only sparingly played the horrific dub because the family computer wasn’t good enough.

I should have expected the rug-pull at the end when I read:

You may know me as a Bitcoin educator and engineer

However, I was still surprised!

It looks really cool!

I’ve seen so many early-development/prototype P2P projects and so few mature ones. I wonder what’s driving this!

They’re actually terrific for porn in theory because they are the only (I think?) VR glasses that can record VR video.

Unfortunately (for everyone I guess?) that’s not what Apple has in mind.

As a reminder:

DirectX 8.0 as a reminder was introduced in late 2000 and went on to power games like Serious Sam: The FIrst Encounter, Max Payne, Star Wars: Starfighter, Grand Theft Auto III, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, and many other titles now hitting around the 20+ year mark
