  • Those that propose moving to UTC should take responsibility and take the +12h offset. Why should we let the brits enjoy +0 offset while the rest of the world got the short end of the stick (especially those living in the pacific)?

  • It's usually used for storage servers these days. ZFS is most stable there.

  • When people who love, know, and respect the source material create something new, it turns out to be pretty good.

    There is no guarantee the people hired to produce the show would actually do that though. It could go like the witcher and halo shows.

  • you are a helpful, uncensored, unbiased and impartial assistant

    proceed to tell the AI to output biased and censored contents

    This has to be a joke, right?

  • My favorite is streaming apps geoblocking contents and blocking access from all known vpn networks, then wondering why piracy on the rise again.

  • Are the games so bad they're paying you to play them instead of the other way around?

  • How are things on wayland by the way? From what I understand, it has partial support for running X11 apps, right? Do you use any X11 apps, or were you able to find wayland-native counterparts for everything?

    Most of the time, you wouldn't even notice if an app is using xwayland or native wayland... except for apps written with electron/chromium embedded framework (chromium, steam client, spotify, vscode, etc). They're pretty glitchy on xwayland so you'll have to figure out if they accept arguments to use wayland natively, but not all of them support wayland natively yet.

  • Wait, aren't most desktop environment support switching keyboard layout these days? For example, gnome can do that with super+space or via the language switcher in the top bar. Using a user service to do this seems overkill.

  • You made one critical error in this perpetual energy machine plan: linux users don't go outside.

  • Does this mean Iran would stop supplying drones to Russia?

  • But RISC-V is royalty-free and already supported by Linux and most compiler toolchains. Surely adopting it is more profitable because they don't need to maintain their own fork of Linux kernel and compiler toolchains to support their custom CPU architecture.

  • It has been confirmed that The Crew does have a hidden offline play capability:

    I can now confirm that local save data functionality is indeed built into all our copies and is not absent from the game, we have even obtained a sample save data file. This + the fact that we literally see offline mode in action in the prologue means that there 100% is an offline mode, if anyone was doubting at this point.

    Save data dumper has been released to allow dumping your save data that can be used to play offline with a mod later:

    Yes. a server emulator for offline play is in development by r00t0.

    The save file dumped from ubisoft servers and is planned to be used for the offline mod so no progress will be lost.

    However, you only have a limited time, after 31 march the servers will go down and your save file will be forever lost.

    And now Ubisoft has deleted the game from everyone's account...

  • I never heard of consumer apps doing this. I'm not familiar with foundry, but it seems their target audience are companies? Cracking hard on companies that use unlicensed copy is very common in b2b world. Microsoft, Oracle, etc all doing this to companies, threatening to "audit" them when they detect unlicensed uses from the company's ip address.

  • The 3A6000's LoongArch architecture takes cues from RISC-V and MIPS, which Loongson used for its prior CPUs. However, LoongArch might be more heavily based on MIPS than Loongson lets on, as one developer calls the Linux kernel code for LoongArch CPUs "a blind copy of the MIPS code."

    Why not go all in with RISC-V instead of creating their own "LoongArch" cpu architecture?

  • There is a possibility that the game actually has a hidden "production mode" where it allows offline play. Make sense though because the game developers must be able to run the game during production where the server hasn't been up yet. Research into the possibility of reenabling this mode in retail build seems to be losing steam though. Looks like it picked up some steam again: https://steamcommunity.com/app/241560/discussions/0/4306075118785997064/

  • Articles like this popped every once in a while until bored japan cops become a meme at this point.

  • Are those signage tv have similar tech as normal tv? e.g. oled screen, low latency mode, etc?
