Great BBC article on this.

Oooooh. Drama.

It’s the internet. Hyperlinking is foundational.

Huh?!

not gonna crop out that username? isn’t that an ad for Betty Bowers?

You’re literally the one calling names adverts, were the first to bring it up, and the other person didn’t say anything on the topic except in response to you.

Are you confusing OP with someone else?

This comment rivals My Immortal on grammar and spelling.

You had McDonalds? That was just a farm in my day. Eee-eye-eee-eye-oh!

They’re raising it because of RAM needs of browsers and GNOME.

If you’re a shell nerd like me, you’ll still be fine running it on a potato.

I did. That’s the bit that’s wrong. You don’t own a copy. Read the terms and conditions. I handily copied and pasted the relevant parts.

The fact you have a copy does not mean you own it. Ownership would mean you could transfer that property. You cannot transfer it (legally).

You own nothing on GOG. It’s a license like everywhere else plus the benefit of having access to DRM-free binaries. Your license permits you to download and use those binaries personally. But you do not own them.

That benefit of the rights to download and use those DRM-free binaries, however, is not to be sniffed at. It’s a fantastic benefit!

But you don’t own them.

This isn’t quite right. You do not own the game, you are purchasing a non-transferable license, bound to you:

2.1 We give you and other GOG users the personal right (known legally as a ‘license’) to use GOG services and to download, access and/or stream (depending on the content) and use GOG content. This license is for your personal use.

3.3 Your GOG account and GOG content are personal to you and cannot be shared with, sold, gifted or transferred to anyone else.

It’s simply a boon that they entitle you to download DRM-free binaries but technically, if that license is revoked by GOG, you are not legally entitled to use or store that binary anymore. Practically, however, is a different story.

KDE turned my MacBook plasma!

The true answer.

This isn’t the Arch logo file as it’s been redrawn to make it 3D. Blackarch have always used the original design but red and with a sword.

My guess these are fan made stickers given out / sold at conferences. They could be fan stickers for Blackarch but they also could just be red Arch stickers for the fun of it.

Redbubble is full of the stuff. It’s pretty typical to see playful project logo stickers all over conferences that people have ordered online. My buddy buys a load of these off Redbubble to stick on laptops people leave around at cybersecurity conferences:

OP is just kidding btw. Postgres has been around since the 90s before Nvidia had even released NV3 / RIVA 128.

I experienced that first hand. Colleagues going to their cars to drive 200m down the road to park again and then walk 100m back on themselves to a deli.

It’s baffling how something as simple as a corner shop that can be walked to is a novelty yet here in Europe, it’s the norm everywhere.

Just like a corner store!

Couldn’t agree more. FireWire’s Direct Memory Access was such a game changer for scrubbing video footage right from the camera.

There’s plenty of reasons to hate Apple but their I/O has never been one.

Core Audio, for instance, is practically magic. Absurdly low latency with no need for device drivers with hardware that’s class compliant. Just plug it in over USB-C.

And emacs is an operating system 😂

Static, portable binary with no dependencies.

Out of the box:

• Syntax highlighting
• Multi-line cursors like Sublime Text
• Mouse support (works incredibly well)
• Splits and tabs for working on multiple files
• Diff gutter
• Copy and paste with system clipboard
• Cross-platform (runs basically on anything that Go does)
• Sane key binds (ctrl-s, ctrl-c, ctrl-v, ctrl-z, ctrl-x, etc)
• Terminal emulator
• Plugin system to extend it
• And much much more

I have nothing to do with the project but this binary is the absolute best. curl or wget to any host and away you go with effectively a Sublime Text / VSCode like in the terminal. It’s as simple as nano and as functional as a well configured and extended vim.

It’s baffling it’s not more well known and not installed by default on major distros.

I doubt they’re being ignored so much as it is much easier to prosecute crimes where there is concrete evidence. Al Capone wasn’t convicted for countless murders etc, but tax evasion.

At least once they’re incarcerated, it’s not impossible to try them on other charges
