I'm late to the party with Hades, but am enjoying the first game right now.
Also, wow, there's a familiar face in that video! I remember watching Greg Kasavin do reviews for Gamespot back when video reviews were still a pretty new thing. (found one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhb9ZpfU-mQ)
That looks cool, I hadn't heard of Circles before. I want to check it out now. I'm curious if it somehow keeps your data private from the server owner. That feels like the missing feature in most federated, privacy-focused social networks.
Side note: looks like it's made by Futo; I hadn't realized they were working on something like that. I've been using another one of their apps, Grayjay for almost all of my mobile Youtube viewing lately. It works great.
A homemade RISC-V fightstick? This is combining all of my favorite things! I bought a leverless controller recently (an SGF Bridget).
I'm only vaguely familiar with microcontrollers, but I know there are libraries out there for using an Arduino to make a mechanical keyboard or fightstick. Is there something similar for the CH32V305?
It sounds like the answer to "can I run this application on RISC-V" is very dependent on what the backend for that application is. What's the backend stack for your websites? Are they static HTML sites, or do they have other components? Someone else mentioned that they built postgres and mariadb Docker images for RISC-V, but I don't even know which programming languages can be compiled for RISC-V right now.
That is very cool, I hadn't heard of that before. I have never done anything with a microcontroller, but I'm thinking about it for RISC-V. It sounds like that might be one of the better ways of getting a RISC-V device in practical use, until more software packages become available for a full Linux machine.
is the mainline situation any better than with ARM?
Unfortunately, sounds like "no" currently. The ones that let you install Debian usually provide some kind of custom Debian image for that specific SBC. Like you, I'm not really a fan of that. But apparently there are some desktop motherboards with RISC-V CPUs coming out. Hopefully that will increase the chance of things getting supported in mainline distros.
Wow, thanks! That's fantastic. I hadn't even thought about the fact that Docker images will have to be recreated for RISC-V, but it sounds like some of the most important parts of the stack are useable already. Nice to see that nginx works -- I was leaning towards moving my blog to a RISC-V SBC, and it's just a static HTML site.
Cultural crackdowns, motivated by religion or nationalism, are terrible. (In Chechnya's case, it'll be religion and nationalism.)
That being said, this means they just created the genre of ILLEGAL BEATS, which sounds like absolute 🔥🔥🔥. Like, the illegal beats lineup at Chechella this year is going to be sick.
Yeah, this is a ragebait headline (and I'll admit that it caught me). This is actually in line with what you see on Android and most Linux distros. It's also likely that Microsoft doesn't want you to easily change from Edge, but still. This is better than allowing an application to silently change which applications open things on your computer.
This blog post is pretty buzzword-heavy, but Penpot is a legitimately great tool. It's used for UI design and layouts. I've seen a couple of open source projects use a self-hosted Penpot instance for working on and discussing new designs.
Figma would be the most popular, proprietary example of this type of tool. I'm not aware of any open source competitors besides Penpot.
edit: It's like Google docs for web page layouts or app layouts. The animation on their homepage is probably the best way of showing what it does.
Dorsey, 52, was convicted and placed on death row in 2008 after pleading guilty [...]
The governor’s decision to proceed with Dorsey’s injection comes after his legal team filed a clemency application, stressing Dorsey’s “extraordinary rehabilitation” behind bars, his apparent mental state on the night of the murders as well as inadequate legal representation at trial
Sounds like there must have been inadequate legal representation -- how does one plead guilty and still wind up with the death penalty? What the hell was the plea deal?
The New York Times does not assume Trump's motives whenever he says or does something; the headline simply reads "Trump Says Thing." But they will insert a motive for something Biden does. In this case, "swing-state pitch," instead of "doing more of the thing that he has done several times before." Can we assume that he hopes to pick up some votes by doing this? Of course. But the NYTimes' editorial standards are very inconsistent, and worth noticing.
Basketball courts too, newly added in the last couple years. There's one sponsor logo physically printed on the court, and one that's digitally added for the TV broadcast (tailored to your location, of course).
I was watching a game a few weeks ago and the superimposed logo kept screwing up. It was moving with the camera instead of being fixed on the ground, and sometimes it wouldn't be cropped around the players, it would just go on top of them. It was kind of amusing. They removed it after a few minutes.
I remember thinking that it was the pinnacle of graphics. I mean, it was photos of real people, that had to be as realistic as games could possibly look.
MK9 is also the start of the modern game mechanics, in addition to the story. They established the current gameplay formula in MK9, and have been iterating on it since then.
Unless you really want to play the classic games, I think MK9 is the best starting point.
edit: Wait wtf am I talking about you obviously start with the movie from 1995.
I agree with your point, but I also agree with the parent post as well. Advertising and tracking can be considered separate issues while also both being bad. I'd also say tracking is almost always bad, whereas there are advertisements that I think are perfectly fine.
People have been talking about how manipulative advertising can be long before targeting individuals was possible. (Like Joe Camel.)
But I also think that there is a whole new level of maliciousness to these highly-targeted ad services that can show you specific content based on a personality profile, formed about you by aggregating data across many different areas of your life. It's related to advertising in general, but takes it to such an invasive extreme that it's worth singling out on its own.
