They do make excellent rubber duckies.

This is the way. (At least for a server)

There is no “Windows 10 shutdown”. The only thing that was supposed to happen is end of free security updates, but Microsoft already decided to give them for free to everyone.

You don’t need to “crack” anything. Massgrave can activate any version of windows through the official process.

It technically probably breaks the EULA but no one gives a shit (including MS).

KDE is also similar enough but actually looks good, and is a more complete and coherent experience.

I also don’t think “looks similar” is actually good if you’re switching. Because it will be similar enough to be confusing when it then behaves differently, and it’s IMO easier to learn something that’s obviously (slightly) different than trying to just learn different behavior.

As someone who has implemented shopping carts, invoicing solutions and banking transactions I can assure you floats will be extremely painful for you.

A huge benefit of big decimals is that they don’t allow you to make a mistake (as easily) as floats where imprecision just “creeps in”.

They’re at school. They can have fun after school.

MAS has activation for the 3 years (or maybe even 6) of the extended support too…

Forgejo is a great fork. Just like Gitea you can have a public instance of it.

The main issue for collaboration is you’re putting extra hurdles in the way (people needing yet another account).

For the most part films of illegal stuff happening are very much legal (no matter whether “simulated” or real), and it might even be legal selling them provided you have the correct rights to them.

Yep, gonna clone and delete Windows 11.

Why would you clone it first? Just nuke it if you don’t plan on using it. It has no value. You can always install it from scratch.

…to who exactly?

I really hope the EU will step in to stop this, it’s a despicable practice, and it makes me sad that Valve doesn’t stand their ground. They’re big enough that they should be able to exert pressure on Visa and MC, who seemingly push this forward the most.

I’m being snarky, but the Linux world isn’t fully user friendly. If you’re unwilling to roll with the punches, it may not actually be for you.

I guess you’re an Arch user, but this is exactly the wrong thinking. Yes, stuff sometimes break for pretty much every distro, but that doesn’t mean we should dismiss people who want stuff to “just work” (which OP went above and beyond). We should absolutely strive to not break stuff, and if it does be humble and polite. Unless you literally want Linux to never become mainstream…

And btw I’ve been using Fedora for ages now, don’t have to follow anything, and when stuff breaks they are generally apologetic about it and try to fix stuff.

I don’t think that’s really a criticism, more like the reality of modern “journalism”…

Wouldn’t be surprised if it also did automatic scans for CSAM or some other BS like that. The article’s conclusion is really funny, too:

In any case, it’s nice to see Google delivering some new safety features in its Messages app. Hopefully the company publishes documentation on how Android System SafetyCore works so other messaging apps can implement their own version of Sensitive Content Warnings. Google Messages is popular, but there are certainly other messaging platforms that could benefit from this tool.

They are quite the optimitsts. Oh and yes please, put the spyware in more apps! We aren’t tracked enough!

Yeah, it’s also that “it just works” now, and one undisputable (though unfortunately self-fulfilling) advantage of Windows is that chances are if you do encounter an issue you’re not the first one and someone has already solved it.

Being an early(ish) adopter of anything like that is always a bit of a risk and pain.

Slimes as in SlimeVR, open source trackers.

I think it all should work, but I’m afraid of just having to solve issues in general with stuff I don’t have to solve any issues with now.

Sure, the Index should work fine, but I’m not so sure about accessories, my Slimes, etc. Also on an nvidia GPU…

Really hope Valve does indeed release the new headset, because my Index is getting very dated.

Since arbitrations are charged a fee per customer someone figured out that you can do an effective “class action” against valve by having many people submit the same arbitration claim against valve and costing them so much through the arbitration fees that it it was almost impossible for them to cone out on top regardless of the outcome of the arbitration (iirc).

It’s not even that they’d have to pay for it; usually the filing party has to pay. Valve tried to be the good guys and while they did push for arbitration they said that they’d pay your arbitration fee for you, basically allowing you to file a legal complaint against them at their expense.

And then some fucking legal company figured out it’s a neat loophole on how to bleed them through arbitration where the point isn’t really the result but the costly process. Guess that’ll teach Valve to try to be better than others. :|
