  • These are the pieces that feel like they're designed to be dramatic, and push that feeling onto the readers. They're not fact-based pieces, yet still get published alongside fact-based pieces on MSNBC. They're then posted on targeted social media, where it typically isn't checked for facts.

    LUCKILY this headline says it's an opinion, but take notice of how many headlines here don't have it, but link to opinions.

  • They do a lot of work to keep your phone number private, or at least any data that is tied to it. This username upgrade is solely for someone to communicate over Signal without needing to hand over your phone number.

    For example, you can now be in group chats with internet strangers by just giving them your username.

    On top of that, once MLS is adopted, you can communicate with other messengers as well.

  • According to the example, a hit new AAA title on steam might need it.

  • The downside is having to do that manually. Kind of ruins the whole point of it. Flatpaks will remain out-dated until the maintainer has time to push it out. Forever behind.

  • This is how the schools are here in Arizona. Uniforms, but pants and shorts for all the students. Girls can also wear skirts, but really its just shorts that look like skirts.

  • Its up to your distros package maintainer to make the patched version available. You can find who maintains it and contact them so they are aware.

  • Yeah it's super fun. You get paired up with similar skill level teammates and you get to practice and scrim with them a lot. Most of the leagues are free, and some allow players of all skill levels to join. The teams play for fun, but there is a lot of competitiveness. No prizes or anything in the league I play in, but the community is reward enough. Thousands of people in there and most of them still play this 8 year old game religiously lol

  • Still playing Rocket League. Playing in a 32 franchise league. Season 19 just started. Didn't have a great start, so will probably be looking to make a roster move and cut some players from the team, and pick up some free agents. Gotta start turning things around now before the season is lost.

  • A lot of people engineer their computing environment to break with newer branches/versions of an OS, so they need to remain on the previous OS version for a bit until it's safe for them to upgrade. It's VERY important to have an upgrade path, and be able to test how apps will work in the new environment.

    For example, compare which PHP packages are on Ubuntu 20.04 vs 22.04 vs 23.10. As a dev, you will have to be sure your PHP app can work with whichever PHP package is provided. Rebuilding your entire app from scratch every time an OS upgrade comes out is not sustainable, so devs will remain on an older version until they have enough time/resources to rewrite it for the newer OS. They might stay on 20.04 until the OS no longer receives updates and becomes End of Life. They might start looking at 24.04 and seeing which PHP version will be available on it, and rewrite accordingly.

    This is just one example for one set of packages. Multiply this by tens of thousands of packages, and you can see how delicate and complex an OS upgrade can be. Not just for the maintainers, but complex for end users as well.

  • To be fair, the defects SHOULD be found in the production line, but not in the finished product.

  • You can also check out the sbctl package.
