Capitalism: steal first, apologize with no real repurcussions later

Nintendo's stagnated and has become a patent troll

as someone that used to be a fan I'm sad as it's hard to be hyped for any of their games when they're widely known for pulling these kinds of scummy tactics time and time again

indies be dammed, it's too much of a risk to make Nintendo-inspired games let alone direct fan-games

$240 USD for an expensive piece of junk

I'd recommend using Godot

  • Free Open Source Game Engine under the MIT License

Repo
Godot Stable Release Docs

Obligatory fuck the CEOs and Shareholders

"We are bargaining. We are committed to reaching a deal. But we are saying that if that fails, the government should be ready to intervene and avoid the disruption," - Christophe Hennebelle (Air Canada’s vice-president of corporate communications)

this is not what a company that's negotiating in good faith does


NDP won't support interference

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Thursday morning the party would not support efforts to force pilots back to work.

"We're going to send a clear message again that we are opposed to Justin Trudeau and the Liberals, or any government, interfering with workers," said Singh.

This was posted on GKIDS official twitter account. This is part of the ongoing Studio Ghibli Fest 2024 that GKIDS has been running (in the US). I have managed to see a couple of the films so far this year and am trying to make 1-2 more before the year ends.

For context:
I've encrypted the swap partition with:

cryptsetup -v luksFormat /dev/${DEVICE}
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/${DEVICE} swap

And what I want is for the user to be able to enter their password only once to decrypt their root partition which would contain a keyfile to then decrypt their swap partition.

Does anyone know if this is possible?
Just thought I'd ask to see if anyone's done this already

the best thing to do is download and torrent to preserve humanity's wealth in knowledge otherwise we risk losing immeasurable treasures to the sands of time

Personal recommendation:
qBittorrent

Countless similiar situations like this is the reason why I find it difficult to help people/groups that display zero-sum behaviour because even if you help them there's no telling if they'll attack you in return

I'd rather spend my time helping people/organizations that are already trustworthy or have proven to be reciprocal towards others regardless of status or wealth

Archived version

Naomi Wu has disappeared. Perhaps she has been disappeared. That’s not rare in China.

[...]

The proximate cause of her apparent disappearance, as Jackie Singh explains in detail here, was a discovery that Naomi Wu, an experienced coder, had made. It seemed that the cute little cellphone keyboard applications developed by the Chinese company Tencent, and used by just about everyone, were spyware. They could log keystrokes, and did it outside of even very secure applications such as Signal, so things that were sent securely could be “phoned home” by the keyboard app itself.

It seems, though the evidence is coincidental, that this was one too many cats let out of the bag, and the Chinese communist government of Winnie Xi Pooh acted quickly, with the results (probably understated) in the Tweet quoted above.

[...]

The silence has been deafening. People on the internet, especially young, enthusiastic websters, have long been thought unbelievably shallow, in it for whatever they could get out of it, and unwilling to take a stand on something important unless there was profit in it for them. We needn’t think that anymore — now we know it’s true.

What can be done? [...] Our government won’t lift a finger even for American citizens or very well known Chinese figures trapped under the thumb of the Disney-character’s evil lookalike, or the Uyghurs, unless there’s some political gain to be had, such as with the tattooed LGBT WNBA player who couldn’t be bothered to leave her dope at home during a visit to Russia.

[...]

China was afraid that silencing Naomi Wu would make the government there look bad. Let’s prove them right.

Losing Naomi Wu to the CCP was a catastrophic loss to the FOSS community, I remember that she once went directly to confront a company (I think located in China) to demand for the release of their modified version of a copyleft software

I hope she's still alive and doing well

holy shit

if this is true AMD gamers just got a huge free boost in gaming performance

Windows was very unoptimized for Ryzen

it's a worm larva btw

TL;DR:
Restarting your phone once a week can help improve performance and security.

  • this is the same for routers and it's commonly known as a power refresh

As a software dev who's participated in a couple of game jams and several group projects,

  • I'd say that anyone that claims to be a designer but has no programming experience is typically incompatible with any project
    • and it's due to the disconnect of understanding just how difficult it can be to translate certain design tasks into functional code

RFC, pull request to add git.

Reasoning: Having a built-in versioning system would allow humans to ~~rollback~~ roll back undesirable changes and advancements could be made more easily

please comment or downvote if this is a bad idea

Seriously what the fuck is going on at Intel

How did anyone look at this presentation and think "yeah that looks good to publish"

Intel's gotta get it together and focus on what matters the most: making chips people want to buy because the performance is good for the cost

absolute fools

oh god this reminds me of Japanese man who married Hatsune Miku in hologram form can no longer speak to his wife of four years.

"The doting husband has gained thousands of followers on Instagram by sharing insights into his life with Miku, but things took an unexpected turn during the pandemic when Gatebox announced it was discontinuing its service for Miku."

this is why I have trust issues with proprietary software
