And their business practices as well. Bringing store exclusivity to the PC games market and paying publishers to delay launches on other stores is not something I want to support.

Ist halt die alte faschistische Rhetorik: Der Feind ist gleichzeitig überwältigend stark und lächerlich schwach. Er ist so stark, dass er furchteinflößend ist und sofort gegen ihn gehandelt werden muss. Und das mit meiner Bewegung, weil nur wir stark genug sind. Aber er ist auch so schwach, dass wir ihn problemlos besiegen werden, weil wir halt so überlegen sind und er nie etwas auf die Reihe kriegt.

Die Positionen können jederzeit gegeneinander ausgetauscht werden, sogar im selben Satz. Diese Inkonsistenz wird zu keinem Zeitpunkt zugegeben. Es ist instrumentalisierte kognitive Dissonanz.

Und hier sind die Rechten halt gleichzeitig die starken Krieger und sowieso die Mehrheit, aber wenn jemand ihnen öffentlich widerspricht, dann ist das eine linksgrüne Unterdrückungskampagne, die das Land ruinieren wird.

Scotch it is, then!

I know. My point is that Razer and Logitech are known to be well-supported. I don’t know if that is true for other manufacturers.

I liked the first season because the protagonist actually used his brain, made observations, and came up with sensible plans. That was pretty refreshing; usually even “smart” protagonists will come up with bullshit plans out of nowhere.

Then in season two he became an idiot and the show itself became amazingly stupid.

Doesn’t seem that outlandish for a resin printer.

How’s Linux support? As far as I know, most other companies don’t get the save level of support that Logitech and Razer do.

Maybe that’ll change when Keychron finish their zgm firmware project and some mice with it hit the market.

Well, there was Rainfurrest, which was so bad that I know the name off the top of my head without even being in the furry scene. From what I’ve heard it was an outlier organized by people who’d been banned from other conventions so by no means typical.

But it’s not like I’ve never heard of a furry convention going wrong.

If you want a bunch of stuff that’s not in core or extra and you don’t want to intensely babysit the AUR, you could try Chaotic-AUR. It hosts prebuilt packages for a bunch of AUR packages which are actively maintained by the Chaotic team.

I consider it to be more secure than the AUR proper since they actually care for their packages and review nontrivial changes. For instance, the recent takeover attacks didn’t hit Chaotic-AUR builds since the changed packages didn’t make it past the review.

It’s still an unofficial third-party repository and closer to the AUR than to extra but I consider it a major step up.

You’d think the United States would take great care when designing their main tools for global power projection. And you’d probably be right; I can imagine that countless hours were invested into determining where the parts get built and which senators get to politically benefit from that. Technological details don’t really matter; at worst you can just turn flaws into lucrative followup contracts for companies in the stock portfolios of top politicians.

You’d think that an electric system should allow for relatively easy isolation – isolating electric circuits from each other with breakers is hardly new technology. Is this lack of isolation a design flaw of EMALS or is there an actual physical reason why it couldn’t be designed with independently powerable tracks?

“Until I die?!”

“No, until the end of the comic. We’re in the last panel, what did you expect?”

“And the pile of corpses?”

“Oh yeah, they’re dead alright.”

Technically we already had XCOM 3. Apocalypse wasn’t half bad, despite the weird realtime/turn-based combat system.

Deshalb sollten verspätete Züge nicht aus der Statik fallen. Entweder pauschal als drei Stunden zu spät abrechnen oder separat führen.

95% Pünktlichkeit aber 10% Ausfallquote? Das wird ein schmaler Bonus.

Small? When I was a kid the local bakery had these in tennis ball size. Not enough rum to get you tipsy, though.

Das könnte man über die KFZ-Steuer angehen.

Niedrigere Steuer für Kleinstwagen grob nach japanischem Vorbild mit beschränkter Länge, Breite, Höhe und Leergewicht (weil Achslast die Straßenabnutzung beeinflusst). Höhere Steuer für in jeder Dimension übertriebene SUVs.

Das sollte von alleine die richtigen Anreize setzen.

They should’ve hired tea industry execs. If the tea industry can come up with grades like “Special Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe”, they can come up with something beyond Ultra High Definition.

Maybe like this:

• High Definition (HD)
• Full High Definition (FHD)
• Ultra High Definition (UHD)
• Very Ultra High Definition (VUHD)
• Special Very Ultra High Definition (SVUHD)
• Full Special Very Ultra High Definition (FSVUHD or SVUHD1, both are acceptable)

Not that these grades would only apply to displays that don’t support picture-in-picture or split screen. Displays with those features (“broken” displays) would use the following equivalent grades instead:

• High Broken Definition (HBD)
• Full High Broken Definition (FHBD)
• Ultra High Broken Definition (UHBD)
• Golden Ultra High Broken Definition (GUHBD)
• Special Golden Ultra High Broken Definition (SGUHBD)
• Full Special Golden Ultra High Broken Definition 1 (FSGUHBD1)

Because your company makes you use Azure Virtual Desktop to connect to a VM and AVD’s clipboard handling is as unreliable as anything else from Microsoft?

It would be so immensely amusing if one of those companies got fined by the EU for something – with the fine calculated from their revenues. That should lead to some interesting fireworks.

Depends on your definition of “win the fight”. Do we fight to the death or until someone retreats? Does it count as a win if I die after the fight? If not, does any nonlethal level of injury constitute a loss? There’s room for interpretation here.

(Also, I have no real idea of how much damage a determined eagle could do to me and I’m in no hurry to find out.)
