Why is this a screenshot? Couldn’t you have just copied the text?

Did you read the article? This isn’t comparable to your India vs America example, it’s specific to prices only within the EU where the EU has digital market rules that specifically prohibit this.

What Valve did does sound like price-fixing too according to your linked definition of “an agreement among competitors to [fix] price levels”:

“Valve and five publishers (Bandai Namco, Capcom, Focus Home, Koch Media and ZeniMax) agreed to use geo-blocking so that activation keys sold in some countries … would not work in other member states. That would prevent someone … buying a cheaper key … where prices are lower.”

J’ai peur que je suis un intrus… J’habite au Toronto en Canada. J'apprend le français depuis cinq ans, mais je besoin de practique avec la interprétation et la conversation. Parce que je suis un redditeur j'ai été lire le r/français, maintenant je lis le c/français.

Ceci mon première commentaire dans la communauté, donc salut! Peut-être je participerai plus dans l'avenir...

Fun to play with? Xbox: no Brick: yes

Not only are these things safe, but they're also key to the efficiency of cycling. Cycling would replace driving if it were more attractive and efficient, but that won't be the case if cyclists have to act like they're driving cars.

Intrigued by the asterisk on Slackware…

Milk really doesn’t do much for children, especially the supposed link to “bone health”. If kids are not properly fed at home, the same argument can be made that we should be making sure they at least get actual water to drink at school. Alternatively, there are plant milk options that can actually be healthier or more vitamin-rich than cow’s milk.

I’ve got an Odroid HC4, comes in a toaster-like enclosure with two SATA ports. Quad-core, 4gb RAM. Works well if you want something fairly simple.

I think coastal New England has a lot of potential, specifically Portland Maine, Portsmouth NH, and Boston.

I lived in Portland for four years: its downtown is very walkable/bike-able, they have decent transit options (buses, Amtrak, airport), and seem to care about growth towards people/pedestrian-friendly designs. They’ve been building up their bike lanes, running a bike sharing program in the non-winter months, and are starting to construct denser housing. If I had to settle in the U.S. somewhere, I would personally choose here.

Portsmouth has a smaller downtown, but its also very welcoming to pedestrians. I’m confident they’ll continue in the right direction too.

Boston’s much larger than either of these, though that comes with strong public transit through bus, train, etc. A better choice if you like big cities.

No it’s not.

Gen Z here. Oldest computer I remember my family having was an XP tower, a Dell Dimension.

I studied computer engineering, and that interest pulled me into retro tech. I love seeing what older hardware is capable of — I’ve got a Pentium laptop that can load old Reddit and stream music over wifi.

There’s a trove of old hardware and software to dig through too with so many unique odds and ends. History and tech worth preserving. One of my favorite projects so far was doing some programming challenges in BASIC on an Apple II. Anything old-tech is fun to me :)

Amazing read, thanks for sharing. It’s fascinating to see that it is now hobbyist-accessible to design and order a PCB that intercepts BGA connections, something that at the time was Microsoft’s sure-fire trick to disable JTAG.

I'll admit I may not understand economies well, but the inverse is that these publishers are enabled to charge higher prices in higher-income countries. The cost of creating their goods is constant, so if Valve isn't selling at a loss to poorer regions then they are simply extracting additional profit from higher-income regions on the assumption that those customers can afford it.

I wonder how this kind of scenario plays out in other industries. Regardless, it seems like the EU has a goal of reducing gaps in buying power between their members, and their unified digital market is a step in that direction.

Honestly, I would argue that git submodule should count as a package manager. I simply list out the repos I want to pull in and update them as needed.

I can see the usability of this depending on the application though. My work is primarily in embedded; I only ever need to pull in a handful of small libraries.

I would figure out the range of salary the type of position usually goes for, then start with an estimate slightly higher than that. Assuming this a full-time role, you'll need to account for things like "office" expenses, healthcare, utilities (internet?), and what you will eventually owe in taxes. Contractors' rates will often be "higher" than salaries for the same position because of this, but in the end the amount you actually take home will balance out.

I've done contract work since finishing university, and managing taxes and expenses has been a constant challenge. Make sure you're comfortable with the deal you make.

Strange, I wonder if that was the SD card or one of the SATA drives? I mirror my data between the two HDDs for redundancy and occasionally run remote backups, though I've never had any problems with data loss. Been running mine for 2-3 years.

Pretty sure I read before that those counts do not include federated instances and only represent user/subscriber count on the instance you're viewing from.

Piwigo does have a plugin for video upload and playback, and it looks like Live Photos are WIP or at least available through the website, not the app. There are some other neat plugins too like map/geotag support.

The app’s upload functionality can work well for backups too; it isn’t automatic, but it does support batch/folder uploads and remembering which photos you’ve already uploaded.
