Not just a great fight, but also the boss with the best lore.

Extremely powerful giant warrior learns gravity magic so he can keep riding his best skinny horse friend. Aww.

This is going to be an effective way to tank the Google/Yelp review score of your restaurant. And pay toilets are also stupid in Europe, I say that as a European.

Well hopefully you can't harm your computer with userland programs. Windows is perhaps a bit messy at this, generally, but Unix-like systems have pretty good protections against non-superusers interfering with either the system itself, or other users on the system.

Having drivers run in the kernel and applications run in userland also means unintentional application errors generally won't crash your entire system. Which is pretty important..

Romania offers as much as €11,500 to people buying an electric vehicle.

Imagine if up to €11,500 per person could go to funding public transportation.

I like cars. They're useful, and EVs are probably the future. But directly subsidizing EVs seems somewhat wasteful. Makes as much sense to me as a tax break for buying a new iPhone.

The EFF is working on all that. And have been for decades. They are allies.

They're making a stand on blocking because they have a bigger perspective on the issues. Which I thought was quite well articulated in their article.

Net neutrality has been debated for decades and, as the EFF apparently still has to remind people, the entire thing conceptually goes out the window once it becomes acceptable for ISPs to start blocking content on their own volition, even if you happen to completely agree with the block. After some time building blocklists of generally understood to be nasty sites, ISPs with large entertainment interests will block piracy sites. Internet archive? Blocked. Blog which writes something nasty about them? Block. Anarchist Fedi community? Etc. That's what the EFF is warning about.

As a massive Dark Souls fan, AC6 is not even a very good Souls game. No deep lore and story, no beautiful scenery, no exploration at all. Even the bosses aren't as good, because DS bosses can be tackled in various ways (melee, ranged, magic, many cheese strats) while AC6 bosses are designed to only let very specific builds succeed, which is incredibly boring. I honestly don't understand the hype.

I enjoy these review threads. Very convenient to get an impression of a just-released game. Thanks for sharing.

It helps with compile time. I don't know why exactly rust macros are slow, and precompiling them helps. Unfortunately, it means distributing a binary along your build process which I personally think is not worth the few seconds of build time speedup.

Btw I do think it is a technically clever solution to improving build times. I'm convinced serde's author is trying to improve the project and this does address one of the common complaints. Clever solutions are not always the right ones though.

Yeah, exactly. Commercial social media sites pay workers in low-wage countries to moderate content. Plenty of stories out there about the toll it takes on them, but it's easy enough for the commercial sites to just keep finding more cheap labor. Fedi is mostly volunteers so it's quite different, and much more visible.

My US-made e-Bike is also "dumb". A regular key to unlock it, a simple onboard trip computer, no apps, no bluetooth, a user replaceable battery... I can see the appeal of a "Tesla-like" e-Bike with a fancy app but reading about these companies going bankrupt makes me glad I got a simple bike.
