While I agree with the sentiment, if the face-value goal of this note becomes true, this has the same vibe as "Sell it to who, Ben? Fucking Aquaman?"

As someone from the long long ago, it's funny seeing this post. For my generation, this has the same vibe as "of course smoking is bad for you", meanwhile the generation before mine was saturated in tobacco smoke and normalized tobacco culture. Sure, there was always an undercurrent that it was bad, but there wasn't the vehement rejection of it like today.

You could go back further again and do it with something like not wearing seatbelts. The value of seatbelts is obvious now, but it wasn't always part of the zeitgeist.

The same goes for fast food. We knew it wasn't great, but healthy eating awareness was hardly a thing back then, especially compared to what it is today. It is precisely because of things like Supersize Me raising awareness, (even ham-fistedly in retrospect) and changing the culture, that we get to call out that shit as obvious today.

You had to be there. You're welcome.

That's a great yearbook quote for/from someone who ended up doing extraordinary things.

They don't want users creating content around what interests them. They want to charge users to interact with content that advertisers pay to host.

Tell me you are too oblivious to implement CI/CD without telling me you're too oblivious to to implement CI/CD. Their builds and packaging should have been fully automated if it was such a pain. If you can make a Mac version of any software, you can make a Linux version. The debate internally was likely management being dumb as rocks and overruling anyone who actually knows anything.

The author knows this is true because that's how their brain got removed. 🙄

I forgot that everyone is forced to buy this game. This price increase is an outage. If only the people who thought about playing it could make the decision to buy it or not, then that might be reasonable. But come on people, this game costs more than a small pizza half a small pizza!

Did the CEO of Sony write this? A bait and switch scam is fine apparently, as long as there's some legalese to protect the company in there.

It seems Steam should have some limitation in place on their end, and the Dev picks sales on Steam, not the publisher.

Then what is the job of the publisher? To perpetrate scams it seems, because seemingly the devs published the game just fine all by themselves to Steam. If they didn't do that right, the publisher suddenly has no responsibility to make sure that was distributed correctly? Whose job is it to ensure the product is published in line with their inevitable goals, we wonder.

so why would they list it for sale in those countries?

Because they botched the bait and switch. And now Valve is cleaning up Sony's mess. Too bad they couldn't clean up Sony's mess of leaked customer data. I guess they can't fix it but prevent the next one by making publishers agree up front that they can't require data from players, in order to publish a game, but I digress.

no one seems to want to accept personal responsibility

No one should have to expect to be subject to a bait and switch scam in the first place. Which is what this clearly is, because if they were truly up front, they would have required the account on day one and had the appropriate region filters in place, so consumers could never be in this position.

Stop blaming the victims of corporate greed and scams; people should be able to reasonably enjoy things they paid for without being molested and exploited. Personal responsibility my ass when there should be laws to prevent this kind of thing in the first place.

Then again, I could have accomplished the same thing by knocking off work for the day and going to the driving range.

Hey, look at the bright side, as long as you were chained to your desk instead, that's all that matters.

A misinformation/propaganda greentext from 4chan? Say it ain't so.

I don't know if Morgan was an alcoholic or not, it's unfortunate if he was, but if you are eating a combined high fat and high sugar (particularly high fructose, as found in soda) diet like he was, you are going to fuck with your liver for sure, regardless. Especially if there is no exercise as well. Quickest way to fatty-liver disease.

But sure, do a favor for the sugar lobby and blame it all on one guy's alleged alcoholism. It's not like he's around to clarify things anymore, or anything.

I share what I find interesting from my RSS feed.

Thank you for doing that. Human-curated links shared here is exactly what we need.

You demonstrated that you are unaccountable. It's a lesson for anyone considering investing in this project, indeed.

Ignition from Inductive Automation. Works great on Linux, used to run it in docker even. There are drivers for all kinds of PLCs. It's a dream to develop in, was my SCADA platform of choice (I've moved on from the industry). If you need to script anything, it is in Python, not some bullshit proprietary scripting language, nor VBA garbage. The client software is great, even runs nice on PC-based HMI touch panels, which you could install Linux on if you want. The call-out alarming actually works (FUCK WIN911).

The software is free to try and download. You can develop in it for free, unlike the majority of competitors. Go ahead and try all of it out right now if you want. The training courses on using their software are free, nice handy videos, so you can start learning how to build everything like right now.

The "catch" is it costs money to run all of the SCADA critical components for more than an hour at a time (to prevent you from just using it to run your whole plant for free). But you can build your whole SCADA app today with your PLC gear on hand, and only pay for it once you are ready to deploy to production.

Anyway, to me, it's hands-down the best SCADA platform, and it even runs on Linux. Disclaimer: some of this might be out of date, I've been gone about 4 years.

Edit: sorry, didn't see the "free" requirement. I would never run a critical plant without support, so I've not explored any fully open source options. If your plant is serving more than just your farm/homestead (in other words, is serving the general public) I strongly recommend a supported option for your client. If you get hit by a bus, and the plant is in trouble, they'll have a hard time finding someone to get them back online who knows your "weird" software.

That said, depending on your needs, Ignition can be cheap AF (comparatively) if your plant is small.

O.C.: Have you consulted about this “tables” approach with other Lua developers?

I.T.: After that, I went back to Dmitry and asked him if my understanding of “everything is a table” was correct and, if so, why Lua was designed this way. Dmitry told me that Lua was created at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro and that it was acceptable for Pontifical Catholic Universities to design programming languages this way.

Lol what? Is there some kind of inside joke about Catholics and tables?

As someone who builds and deploys software in the cloud all day, seeing the term "cloud native" used for a desktop OS just reads as jibberish to me, no offense. Nobody can seem to explain clearly in simple terms what is actually meant by it.

Does it just mean all of the compilation of binaries and subsequent packaging have all been designed and set up to run in a uniform build pipeline that can be executed in the cloud? Or is bazzite just basically RancherOS (RIP) but for the desktop? I am seeing people in this thread talking along the lines of both of these things, but they are not the same.

Can you explain what the term "cloud native" means as it relates to bazzite in a way that someone who can build Linux from scratch, understands CI/CD, and uses docker/kubernetes/whatever to deploy services in the cloud, could grok the term in short order?

99% sure this person is cosplaying as QWOP

The article is not fishy, you are just uninformed. They are powering the datacenter with turbines fueled by natural gas. You are right about the datacenter though, it's beyond fishy, into crime territory. To top it all off, they have approval to run only a handful of turbines (after not even seeking approval in the first place, i.e. running them illegally), but they are running a ton of them.
