That bar is so low it’s practically a tripping hazard in hell.

At least we get a 3.45% discount on subscription fees per day for a month once every four years.

My favorite kind of character. Competent, unconcerned with military bravado or intellectual superiority, and always knows what amount of fuckery he can get away with. It’s why I liked Sgt Siler and Zelenka in Stargate.

A pencil writing on paper.

Assuming we’re talking about “anyone” including a post-collapse society or an alien race that never invented the floppy, and sufficiently advanced to competently use a computer. The most basic means of recording information is to use an implement to create marks on a surface. You can draw lines in the sand, or indentations on a clay tablet, or scratches on a lead sheet, or lines on a paper, the method usually involves a flat surface and a pointy object leaving visible lines. The symbolic representation of a pencil and paper is sufficiently generic that most people will associate it with committing information to a non-volatile medium.

I’m sure it can be done, but I’m not wading into that cesspool to find out.

“I bow to no one.”

…or whatever the hell Aragorn says when he kills Sauron.

I’ve only seen the first two parts of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.

mouse movement stops and then “catches up” every second or so

I had that issue with a wired G502 mouse. It was caused by an excessive polling rate, and setting it to 125 Hz fixed it.

If you have a specific purpose in mind for the drive, then mounting it statically is probably the easiest solution.

My setup is:

• 2 TB NVMe
  • 200 GB partition at /
  • The rest (~1.8 TB) mounted at /games
• 1 TB SATA SSD mounted at /home
• 3 TB HDD mounted at /hdd

/mnt and /media are used differently based on the OS. /mnt is supposed to be used for temporary manual mounts, but you can use it (or a subdirectory) as a permanent mount point. /media is meant to contain mount points for dynamically mounted removable devices, but modern systems generally use /run/media/$USER for that purpose; I would personally avoid it nevertheless.

Not the glorious return of the Hyper key I expected, but I’ll take it.

“Ty and That Guy” - Ty Franck (one of the writers of The Expanse books) and Wes Chatham (actor of Amos Burton on the show) talk about sci-fi.

“SPINES” - supernatural fiction about an amnesiac tracking down broken people with paranormal abilities, written in an audio diary format. It gets a little gay.

“The White Vault” - supernatural fiction about a multinational team that travels to Svalbard to recover a lost expedition and encounters a monster.

…maybe it’s better that the Windows source code remain closed.

At the same time, I’d love to see the developers of the world glimpse at that eldritch cognitohazard and collectively go insane.

…or even just consistency in their immorality.

Some guy made a subreddit called 195 (named after their dorm room number IIRC) where the only rule was that you had to post something before leaving. They later closed the subreddit because it had gotten too large to operate by one person. 196 was created by the community as a successor with the same one rule. Just post. Simple as.

Neat, thanks!

So what’s the current state of emulation on Linux? I still have both Yuzu and Ryujinx installed, but has either been superseded by a fork?

Not, it isn’t. It was most likely a spam filter. Images and longer messages work fine.

to bypass the guardrails the company had created

What a delightful way to say that those guardrails were worth, in effect, fuck all.

We’re adding new, different symbols to the confusing mess of old symbols and keeping both? Neat!

The original creator of Wordpress and the owner of a Wordpress hosting site. He’s been having a meltdown for months because Wordpress is being used by WP Engine, a for-profit competitor hosting company, in compliance with the license. Since then, he has:

• Changed the trademark license and retroactively sued WP Engine,
• Disparaged WP Engine every time he had the chance,
• Added a potentially legally binding checkbox to wordpress.com where the user must declare their disassociation with WP Engine (which also locked out actual employees),
• Forcibly taken control of several community-made plugins,
• Acted like an absolute fucking buffoon the innocent little lamb who’s been set upon by the wolves.
