Okay that’s fair. I fricked around with some C++ numerics BLAS header library (I think it was Eigen) on Linux before that was complicated and annoying too. The ARM Fast Models simulator was also a pain. Maybe I just don’t like C++ development now that I think about it.

C mostly worked okay for me though.

Hm. I’ve always found it harder to compile stuff on Windows.

Or they could just have been infected. Especially the ones on Windows 8, which has been EoL for over a year.

Hey OP, regarding Minecraft: It’s a Java program that uses OpenGL for rendering. Therefore it’s not a Windows game, but inherently cross platform. Here’s the official .deb package https://launcher.mojang.com/download/Minecraft.deb

I wonder if that even exists. A mix of Windows 8 (EoL) and 10 (almost EoL) running on Haswells with students freely installing Roblox… it all gives an unmaintained vibe.

I like how their release announcements always kind of read like press releases. Even when it’s just the third maintenance release for some normal release train.

I didn’t see any image credit for the bunny picture or the other rodent with the hood. So I don’t think the original creator’s credit was removed, only some remixer who didn’t give credit lost his unjustified watermark.

Found it on Twitter… but I guess that doesn’t help.

Maybe it’s easier to download, but I haven’t tried from either site before. I’ll drop the link in case anybody wants to try.

Since you didn’t link the video, here it is on reddit.

I can see the headbutt, it’s at second 12.

Still an insane overreaction of course, but the truth is important.

I don’t get it. If your position is that a temporary downturn is necessary then the question seems very sensible. And somehow Trump says it is necessary but asking about the maximum extent he’d go for is very stupid?

The page behind your link above actually solves the riddle in question:

I have a Mastodon account, @rms on mastodon.xyz, which mirrors the political notes of stallman.org. The person who set up the mirroring chose that site.

The profile picture and colour scheme fits. I’m guessing just the text is edited.

Ahhh I’m rubbing up against all this nothing so roughly it feels almost sticky

My computer doesn’t really break, I’m Ship of Theseus-ing it regularly.

Apart from that, the only one among the normal window based ones that has felt like it respects my will to configure stuff in ways that feel right to me has been KDE Plasma.

I think I finally found what I was put on this earth to do: Knife goes in guts come out.

Fair point, but without regulations your claims can be way wilder, and you don’t have to make stuff safe to ingest anymore. Overall I think quackery can become even more profitable.

I was going to say armed insurrection, but on second thought that might be ethical under those circumstances.

Unethically probably the most gain could be in manufacturing fake medicine. Cheap inputs, expensive prices.

Ah, in fact, even better for repeat customers: Making real medicine and selling the hard stuff over the counter (assuming drug schedules are “regulation”).

Skyrim is huge. I played it last year, going to all locations and doing main and side quests. That takes 100 hours or so.

Now I’m playing Elden Ring with SOTE, doing the same thing. I’m around 180h in and honestly I kind of want to finish by now.

So yeah, I don’t see 600 hours of playtime as a positive goal. Unless they mean expand the map but don’t keep up the content ratio. In that case, why the fuck would that be good? More travelling isn’t worth anything.

Wow very cool. Thanks for that link, I had no idea coreboot was so flexible!

Oh I’ve never heard of such a setup. But that does muddy the lines a bit, I can see the argument for calling it part of firmware then.
