There’s a lot of people who think it’s a good idea to not vote in the hope that Biden will lose and that will teach the DNC a lesson.

True but Nvidia has been making performant ARM chips (for example, the ones in the Nintendo Switch)

The idea is ARM can be more efficient, which translates as longer battery life and/or faster computers for the end user.

This is and always will be true about software. Progress sometimes means abandoning bad ideas, even ideas that were good at the time but are bad now that something else has changed.

Old Windows games generally don’t work on modern Windows without a virtual machine.

It’s cute.

Technically there isn’t a benefit to Michelangelo’s sculpture either.

The people in the picture are so used to working with assembly language, that even though they know the average person doesn’t know much about assembly, they assume the average person knows a little, which is already way more than the average person actually knows.

My game’s anticheat software is already using root level permissions to monitor other program’s RAM, my OS might as well have all that data too.

My gaming OS is a malware mess. I don’t use windows for anything else since that’s the only thing it’s good at. I’ll move to Linux once my friends stop playing the games that require Windows only malware anti cheat.

What’s the significance of “Slavic”?

You can host a git repo with little effort on any Linux machine you can ssh to. You don’t need to host a git lab instance unless you want some web gui.

Yeah I see the argument that any content behind an internet connection is DRM, but I think that stance is a bit extreme.

There are a handful of real problems on that list, but it’s like 3/20.

It’s important to maintain this list and call them out though. If I can’t expect GoG games to be DRM free I might as well just use Steam where plenty of games are still DRM free but other features of the platform are a bit better.

Oof I haven’t heard of this. That’s like the whole selling point of GoG. What games have DRM?

Buy CD’s and DvDs. Check if a game has DRM before buying it (or just buy from GoG where DRM is banned). Run some flavor of Linux.

Really long buildings (bridges) actually do

A lot of these photos are made by actually using a long exposure rather than tweaking the “exposure” slider in post

I had a relative visiting the US for the first time who was really excited to try turkey meat.

Lemmy feels a lot less mature than Reddit, for what that’s worth.

I think the company sees this as an opportunity to use the spotlight they now have to publicize their own IP. I suppose we can only wait and see what they do next.

Go read the GitHub issue. The main difficulty in implementing reproducible builds is the code signing Apple requires as well as other tweaks Apple makes to modify the binary from what the dev submits to what gets downloaded from the App Store. Note that Android already has reproducible builds. Also the reason the GitHub issue was closed wasn’t “refusal” to implement the feature, they wanted to move the discussion to their forums.

?

Larion Studios is still doing fine. They’ve decided to pursue their own IP rather than continue to work with a 3rd party’s.

I’ve been alone in the forest with a bear and it just sat there doing its own thing as I walked by, doing my own thing.
