Know somebody that lost smell due to covid and they also said there are certain things that just don’t smell the same anymore.

Like coffee apparently. It no longer smells as good to him as it used to.

One can be used in an airport/aircraft/train and the other can not.

One is fit for travelling and the other is not

But then how can we monitize our gamers if we can’t run at the kernel level and do whatever we want?

We’re selling games at an overpriced rate and putting tons of gambling and Mtx in our games. But this is unsustainable. We’ll go bankrupt at this rate! Just last week we had a meeting with the CEO complaining he couldn’t buy his fifth luxury boat because he had spent that years bonus on his 2nd aircraft. He said heads might start to roll at this rate to keep the company float. Where are we supposed to find the money to index 5% on the wages.

Some upper manager somewhere. Probably

By the millions! Millions i tell you

To be honest my steam Deck doesn’t go that far beyond 4h either on a single charge when I lower all the settings.

I think the problem there is that there’s a lot of workplaces looking for extra people. Losing 1/5th of your workforce, but not financially is how I assume employers look at it.

The fact people are more efficient probably doesn’t mean more efficient than working 8 extra hours to them.

I could really do with a 4day workweek. And I don’t mean working 40h in 4 days.

The .htaccess file does nothing on nginx though.

I guess they might lose customers, but the ad revenue will offset it. Which could be a win for them. Less cars to produce for the same amount of money. If they survive everybody else will probably just follow suit. Like the car functionality subscriptions.

I’m just sad we reached this point.

Ban targeted advertising. Ban data gathering. You won’t even have to deal with the f***ing cookie banners anymore.

Looks like a one way relationship tbh :(

Belgium has a Labor day as well. “Dag van de arbeid”

I’m guessing maybe the scheduler? Its the only real difference I see versus the other gaming distros.

In many places WhatsApp is the defacto standard unfortunately…

If its not that its something like Viber, or badoo or telegram or some other nightmare service…

If you have kids there is also not really getting away from it. Friends of mine have never had Facebook accounts until they had kids because the local football team or boyscout or whatever only uses Facebook to communicate…

I agree you can live your life comfortably without meta services, but sometimes, like in the example above, you dont have any alternatives…

You can’t keep harassing other parents to forward you messages or ask the team to print any messages specifically for you. Not having a Facebook account just gets “its easy to create” responses rather than “completely understandable, here’s our private matrix server to stay in the loop”.

Remember when the real value were the people building amazing games and not just the IP?

Larion studios/krafton inc remembers.

Now there’s a word I’ve never heard in my life :D

I’m happy about it. It also scares me that people might just assume it’ll be fine and not vote. Like the brexit referendum that barely passed because a large chunk of the population assumed not that many people would vote against it.

Man I wish the media reported him yelling flight flight flight instead :')

That link just made my day

Dear tiktok,

You don’t have to comply with it. You can also get out of the EU. Trust me, it’s the easiest way.

Bye!

At least that rootkit anti-cheat prevents all the cheaters. There totally aren’t any cheaters in games protected by rootkit anti cheat systems like in valorant. Right? Riiiiiiight?

Fuck em. I’ll stick with games that work on steam deck and Linux then.

Yeah it is kind of like the “trust, but verify” paradigm. It will likely generate useful code or a very good starting point, but you should always check if it actually does what you expect it to.

You can’t trust them blindly. But They’re very helpful in your day to day tasks.
