Xournal lets you paint on a document, which I guess isn’t what they need when they talk about legal stuff. Digitally signing a document is still one of the rare cases where I boot up my windows vm. It’s so annoying that there’s practically no way to do that in Linux as my company’s processes rely on it.

The feddit frontend has been offline for months, but the backend works just fine, so if you use another ui (such as an app) that instance can still be used. It’s a mess.

Is that serious? His Wikipedia page doesn’t list it.

As much as I lean to hate this despite it not even affecting me as a Linux user…

I’m going to structure this as a Q&A with myself now, based on comments online

What is that? “I’m going to pretend to ask questions that I’ll then answer myself the way I think it’ll outrage that most people do I’ll get a lot of clicks on this shitty article”? What crappy excuse for content creation is this? I hate it.

Only for security updates.

I couldn’t care less about the major versions, but announcing they’ll stop with the security fixes three years after the release date for a device that I can’t update reliably any other way was a deal breaker for me.

That and the fact that they, too, are just too damn huge. Yes, even the 5 and 10. No, their aspect ratio doesn’t fix that. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

I want to get off Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride

Their dumb cope cages

Our glorious reinforced anti-drone turret protection

Like, I know I’m being cynical, but seriously… what makes this better than the Russian cages that are usually ridiculed?

Yeah, but it’s a lot harder to cross. Like, I could build a shitty boat from wood myself. A spaceship? Not so much. Especially not if it’s actually supposed to leave this gravity well.

Whereas Skyrim feels like there are a lot more playstyles available. Stealth archery feels very different to covert shooting, which feels very different to furtive bow handling, which feels very different to being a stealth archer which feels very different to using an arrow silently, which feels very different to using a huge, two-handed bow quietly. They’re not just visually different; how you approach and navigate combat encounters will be significantly different depending on what kind of build you have. It just feels like there’s so much more gameplay depth.

It’s not trained, it just rejects certain keywords. Which is easy to bypass: https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.11753

windows is still a effecient os, it’s just a lot of bloat

I like that contradiction.

which can be disabled

Pretty sure it can’t, especially not “officially” by the device manufacturer and certainly not in a way that keeps those debloat settings in place over the next few large updates.

Yeah, it was just a dumb joke. I’ll try harder next time.

I thought calling somebody “not-a-nazi” would be okay, but guess I just gotta try to be better. Sorry, didn’t want to mess with the Grundgesetz.

the writing is bad

I really disagree. As I said, it’s not a smart movie, but the world building was well done, characters acted in consistency with their knowledge and motivation and you had proper worlds building from the first movie onwards. Dialogues were cheesy, but certainly not as bad as it was in the prequels. It’s a fairytale with knights and princesses, so I wouldn’t expect or want deep, philosophical writing… It’s not blade runner. But it fits the setting.

the acting is bad

Sorry, but I just really disagree. It wasn’t stellar, but I really cannot remember a single scene where the acting put me off.

Still better than using file names.

Krah, in a weekend interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica, said that someone who had been a member of the SS paramilitary force in Nazi Germany was “not automatically a criminal”.

Totally-not-a-nazi ^TM

I know this is the arch community, so this might not apply, but KDE’s Dolphin file manager has audio CD ripping integrated, with different folders being shown for different formats when you open an audio CD (like, “audio CD” has subfolders called “mp3” or “flac”), so you can just copy those files somewhere and it rips and encodes them in the background.

It surely is going to help “marketing” with “numbers”.
