Maybe they just want to kill someone.

Ahah that's exactly why I'm only watching it now.

She's so good in Legion.

Everything he (and other like-minded politicians) says makes so much sense, and often seems obvious to me. It's really depressing that a huge part of the people see him as a threat. We have the same problem in France, and in most countries I assume...

That's the spirit! If you know your way around Linux admin, docker and such, don't hesitate to dive into jellyseerr + arr + Jellyfin, it was much simpler to set up than I expected. Once everything's up and running, the experience is far superior to any commercial streaming service.

As it seems nobody's linked it yet, have you read Jellyfin's hardware selection page? They go into great details about which HW features are required/desired.

In my case I'm running it on a NUC with an i3 8109U + 16GB RAM, it runs great with 2 or 3 transcoding jobs at once. Media are stored on 5400-RPM HDDs.

Yep that's also the WM's job.

Because having each piece of software do it itself would be not only chaos but a massive security concern.

Not really, the main point is that (most) apps don't know where they are on the screen, whether they're minimized, on the active workspace, ... and they don't care either. That's the responsibility of the window manager.

The app tells the display server "I need a window to display these pixels" and that's it. And the window manager, well, manages these windows.

On the topic of security, X11 doesn't handle security at all, that's one of the main issues. So any graphical app can read the other windows' pixels, grab everything you type, everything you copy, ... OTOH Wayland isolates apps so they can't do that by default. Apps that really need to (screenshot apps, ...) can use "portals" to ask for these permissions.

Yeah that's all we talked about over at Slashdot at the time. Nobody else gave a fuck.

what force might have coerced Microsoft to behave more reasonably, in that situation?

Strong antitrust and anti-corruption laws. Their actions were not "unreasonable", they were straight up illegal.

Edit: also you should read up on the whole thing. They didn't break compatibility with their own office suite of course. What they did is lie to (and almost definitely pay off) the standardization body: "here is the spec for OpenXML, you see we're open it's right here in the name, anyone can implement it and be interoperable with us". So OpenXML was standardized along with OpenOffice's OOXML (at the start of the process, only OOXML was considered for standardization).

Once the deed was done, they of course didn't implement OOXML in MS Office (as is their right), but they also didn't implement their own OpenXML spec properly, which means OpenOffice still had to reverse-engineer an intentionally obfuscated and broken format to try and read/write documents compatible with MSO.

So the whole thing has been absolutely useless, except for a couple of "experts" from the panel who came out of it a bit richer.

Nope, the correct solution would have been for MS to compete fairly with OSS, instead of, for example, buying the standardization of its Office suite formats, and then never implementing those formats to prevent OpenOffice from being 100% interoperable.

I've owned all of Nintendo's portable consoles (except for the 3DS), a Wii and I currently have a Switch. I have like a thousand euros worth of games on it, all bought through the store.

But I'm tired of this relentless fuckery, and when my daughter's old enough to use the Switch, I will hack my switch and pirate the games I haven't already bought.

Same with streaming, for years I paid for 3 or 4 services, but I'm tired of those fuckers nickel and diming me, and making me jump through hoops to play my paid for content on Linux, so I canceled everything and now run jellyseerr+Jellyfin which is a much better experience.

However I haven't pirated a single PC game in like 20 years, because Valve and Steam are awesome and the prices are fair. Same with Spotify, though Ek is a tool so I'm starting to look for (legal) alternatives.

What I'm getting at is, I don't mind paying for my entertainment, but when I start feeling like a cash cow for fucking assholes you better believe I will sail the high seas.

Nah, a boomer would tell the kid everything's actually fine while spraying shit all over him.

It's primarily a native port for current gen consoles.

I haven't tried it but the website lists ydotool as an alternative.

From NVIDIA, really. AMD and Intel GPUs work out of the box.

You do know you can use words in addition to emojis right? I have no idea what you're quoting and what you're trying to say.

OK but that description seems totally harmless if you don't follow US politics. And even then, I knew about the blue line for cops but had no idea about the red one. Are we protesting nurses now? Is it a COVID thing?

As a Frenchman who spends way too much time reading shit about US politics, I didn't know about the thin red line. Pretty sure the WP editor didn't either, or didn't care (as he should).

I hope this is a troll post, otherwise maybe don't give fascists the exclusivity on a red line on a white background?

It definitely is, but yeah you'll die a lot at first. Once you know your squad's (and the enemies') abilities it becomes like chess, where you spend a lot of time thinking about the consequences of a single move.
