"Two street corners": https://www.google.com/...

You underestimate american suburban development. Yeah, that's a 45 minute walk, each way.

  1. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, "THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTER" MEANS A COMPUTER OR COMPUTER-DRIVEN MACHINE OR DEVICE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FROM A DIGITAL MODEL

Well, that's a broad definition. I guess to whomever wrote that, a CNC mill is also a 3d printer.

Heh, I can actually pick myself out in that picture.

And just to confirm, yes, it was really fucking cold out.

Definitely satire, the context from earlier:

  1. Firefox is worse than Chrome in their implementation of ad snitching, because Chrome enables it only after user consent.

This means that in most cases you’re automatically a Canadian citizen if you were born

  • before December 15, 2025
  • outside Canada to a Canadian parent

This rule also applies to you if you were born to someone who became Canadian because of these rule changes.

As for what it's for, it could be anything. Possibly just for the camera that's also on that pole?

C was originally created as a "high-level" language, being more abstract (aka high-level) than the other languages at the time. But now it's basically considered very slightly more abstract than machine code when compared to the much higher level high-level languages we have today.

Before anyone thinks this could be good news for EA...

The offer comes from a group of investors that includes Silver Lake, one of the world's largest private equity firms, and Saudi Arabia's controversial Public Investment Fund.

WSJ states that it would "likely be the largest leveraged buyout of all time."

A leveraged buyout from a PE firm means they've decided EA needs to die and they're going to pick the carcass clean.

You're an Agnostic.

Agnosticism is the view or belief that the existence of God, the divine, or the supernatural is either unknowable in principle or unknown in fact.

That's how it used to be for me too, something has changed. Before this current job search, I'd never put out more than 4 applications to get a job. Now I've put out dozens (I refuse to spray and pray), and am still unemployed 6 months later.

If your distro offers it, rootless podman + podman system service is the best setup, IMO. That will give you a docker command that is 1-to-1 compatible with docker and lets you use tools like docker-compose that expect a docker service socket. Then you can just follow tutorials that only explain things for docker.

I worked at an IoT platform startup. All of our embedded device demos stopped working August 1st. I was told the same thing happened last year, but it was fine, things would start working in September. I decided to go fix it anyway. Eventually I figured out the culprit was a custom HTTP library. Instead of doing anything sensible, the way it found the Content-Length header was to loop over the bytes of the response until it found the first 'g' add 5 to that pointer and then assume that whatever was there was the number of bytes it should read. Unfortunately, HTTP responses have a Date header which includes the month and August has a 'g' in it.

There were a bunch of these demo devices already flashed and shipped out. The 'fix' to get them to work, even in August, was to downgrade requests to HTTP 0.9 which didn't require a Date header in the response.

I don't think is is a backdoor. At the moment I wouldn't consider this article any more than FUD.

It's unclear to me if the security company has actually said what the vuln is or not, but if it's what was presented in the slides linked in the article this is at worst something that can be "attacked" from a computer connected via USB (and I'm pretty sure it would also require special software already on the ESP32), where the attack is sending out possibly invalid bluetooth messages to try to attack other devices or flashing new firmware to the ESP itself. It's not a general "backdoor" in the ESP32 itself. At least that's the best interpretation I've been able to make. Happy to be corrected if anyone finds more info.

Heroic and Lutris are both what you're describing.

I think it may also be possible to install GOG Galaxy in bottles and use that directly, but I've never tried that myself.

If you have any straight straws, you might want to hold them up to the light. They get pretty grody on the inside.

They may block IP addresses associated with consumer ISPs. Assuming that's the case, I would guess you're seeing that as an HSTS/TLS error because their network is trying to trick your browser into redirecting to/displaying an error page hosted by some part of their network.

I'm a fairly experienced Rust Dev (I've been paid to write it since 2014). I've never use Tauri, but damn it looks complicated.

If your goal is learning rust, I'd suggest learning on something simpler. Avoid complicated "ecosystems", anything super macro heavy, or async in general. Go write code like you're a college freshman. Duplicate code, call .clone() and .unwrap() with wild abandon. There's no reason to throw all the hardest parts of the language at yourself all at once.

If your goal is ending up with a GUI application, I don't really have advice for you, I've never figured that out myself.

I keep thinking about installing this, but the required permissions seem a bit excessive:

This add-on needs to:

  • Input data to the clipboard
  • Access your data for all websites

Anyone know if the 'All Access' permission is really required for what this is doing? It just feels wrong. There isn't some sort of "Control Navigation for These Domains" that it could request for each enabled site or something is there?
