Unexpected first Law by Joe Abercrombie! Loved it, Glokta is such an interesting character.

For half a moment, that shared nothingness created something new, but then they came and chopped it off into small, blend, mouth sized pieces that never make you full.

… certain parties violating the old license, by not attributing and stripping my copyright. Packagers being collateral damage was a beneficial side-effect, considering they don’t clearly mark their versions as modified (also a GPL requirement), break functionality, and expect upstream to provide support.

Emphasis mine, snipped from the authors comment

As a maintainer of few AUR packages this is always so hurtful.
Where does this position come from? Packaging is the avenue that people using any linux distro use to get your software. This also my first time hearing that packages (re)building GPL code have to mark the packages as modified in some way. I can understand that being a valid concern (if it is one) but that’s a problem that can be rather easily fixed without throwing all of the maintainers overboard (?).

I can see there being bad maintainers that will come shouting to upstream with every little thing that does not work on their platform, but man that’s just insincere towards maintainers that will dive, analyze and help where they can to make it work.
For every one maintainer coming to your github issues with their problems there is probably shitton of patches and time spent on making your program work with the given distro.

Unpopular opinion?: without wordpress, mysql/mariadb would have died years ago.

Instead of giving access to Crystal Mines, Gas Extraction Wells, and Mote Harvesting Traps they now increase the number of mining districts available on the planet and, after researching the technology to extract the relevant resource, add a small amount of resource production to miners on that planet.

Oh finally, managing where and if you had the special resources was uselessly tedious.

Maybe that LTT linux challenge?

While Hopoo Games are the original team behind Risk of Rain, Gearbox under Embracer took over the IP back in 2022 so the series will continue on without them.

No, by all means it’s dead

I just usually do !map

I am currently in the market for a new mobile phone. The current’s one battery is basically dead and because of security patches now being about 2 years old I have to replace it whole instead of just getting the battery replaced again.

Pixel with GrapheneOS has been my number one choice for some time but…

1. there is no (privacy friendly & legal) replacement for Google Play Protect. My banking app won’t work without it as well as one other app I kind of need too.
2. I am also just too used to having a phone in the 250-300 EUR range in the sense that I don’t have to care about it that much.
   It’s a “consumable” product for me. Loosing/drowning it is not a big deal, where drowning 800 euros is just hard to justify no matter how much money I make.

I will probably just get the OnePlus Nord 4 instead because of their pledge to do 6 years of updates.

Semi-serious answer: yes

Nvidia module won’t build

how/why?

If you have 13/14 Gen Intel and it errors out with random SIGILL errors you are being hit by the Intel instability problem.

At least for me that was the only place where the instability surfaced before bios updates and tweaks.

Yeah that has always been the downside, you have to pay for the “custom device you can geek out yourself”

Just saw a guy speedrunning getting kicked for just (spamming) ad strafing. A lot of false positives.

Uv is currently only a pip replacement as a dependency resolver (and downloader), it was actually adopted by astral from a different dev afaik

That yor votes are already public.

I am guessing the closest opposite argument would be how close it is to outright copying the original work?
