i wonder how these numbers change if you weight by active players. like sure, Shooty Guns 2 (2008) running on linux is a good thing, but if it has a grand total of 5 people in the world playing it, it won't really do much for linux adoption as long as games like league of legends, apex legends and fortnite still don't work

(for the record i don't play any of those games and i've been happily daily-driving linux with no windows intervention for the last 4 year)

they actually changed that back in 2022. previously, you had to fight a knight blessed by the gods so that no man could harm him, so you would have to change your character to a woman in order to harm him. however they changed it so now no blade can harm him, and the player is given four different weapons, where one of them is a warhammer, allowing him to be defeated (since it doesn't have a blade)

because you need to actively think about and suffer through every single measure as punishment for you mistakes

kling is the creator/head of the ladybird browser. dhh is the creator of ruby on rails, but he's now working on omarchy, which is basically just a collection of dotfiles for arch but people love for some reaso (personal rant).

the reason that their views are important is because a lot of tech companies, even ones that were previously reputable like framework, have been pouring a lot of money into these. this is especially relevant for omarchy, since afaik dhh is the only person working on it, making donations to omarchy basically be direct donations to dhh himself.

while kling has done some questionable things, dhh is basically just a straight up fascist, which really puts the principles of the companies giving money and promotion to him (like framework) into question

looks like estradiol, which is commonly used in feminizing hrt

can't wait to see the pandemic of psychosis and probably early dementia this will lead to!

tbf this uses a lot of medical jargon that most people who aren't doctors will never need. put simply, it's a case of a man who put hydrofluoric acid in his ass (owie) while high from snorting cocaine

edit: wrong acid, it's actually way worse than i thought

not saying that i don't hate the UI changes with my entire being, but there is absolutely a good reason to not keep the old one. that would mean that discord would have to support two entirely different codebases that would both have to be modified independently whenever they wanted to e.g. add a new feature

i think the argument here is more that saying "you can use this however you like, no questions asked" is a bad idea because it allows corporations to approriate the work

ratlimit is a well known shitpost account btw

these boycotts are mainly about avoiding buying from these companies, not working at them.

if you do wanna help though, you can try to waste as much of their money as possible, for example by slacking off or giving customers extra food (of course if this is your only means of living not getting fired should come first)

apropos algebra, that comes from al-Jabr, which (approximately) means reunion, resetting of broken parts, or balancing, and is a shortnening of the title of the book (copy-pasted from wiktionary) al-kitāb al-muḵtaṣar fī ḥisāb al-jabr wa-l-muqābala, "The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing". the author of this book, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi also gave us the word "algorithm" (from al-Khwarizmi)

yeah, it's called cuddling

i think in netflix's case, they might actually be paying as much attention to the ads as they do the shows, which is to say none at all

obligatory disclaimer that i am not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice.

legal answer:
i think distributing a song in full on your blog is pretty unambiguously copyright infringement. i think having select snippets that you highlight and talk about would be fine though, as that would likely fall under using the work for critisism. the general rule for fair use is that your work should not replace or supersede the original (which uploading the song in full could). if you absolutely need the songs to be accessible in full, you would probably need to link to something like a streaming service. also be aware that things like album covers might be considered their own works under their own copyright, so reproducing that without critique could also constitue infringement.

practical answer:
i don't think there are scrapers on the general internet looking for copyrighted content so if you're sufficiently small and/or the artists are sufficiently lenient you'll probably be fine, and at worst you'll get a cease and desist and take down the tracks they complain about

you get a blue check for paying something like $9/month. very good feature because it instantly tells you that you can entirely disregard the post you're about to read because it was written by someone stupid enough to give money to the app formerly known as twitter (and thus elon musk) every month

not moderated, so people often post malware there iirc

something something first they came for the communists

on a related note, why is there so much goddamn hype for omarchy? as far as i can tell it's basically just an arch linux config, but every time i, against my better judgement, look at the comments of some tech thread, people are talking about how omarchy is the best thing since sliced bread. even framework have been posting about it a lot.
so my question is why??? is it literally just because it has dhh behind it? is it because i am being forced to look at the opinions whose only experience with writing code is vibecoding the latest greatest b2b saas slop in the new flashy javascript framework and then deploying it on some platform that is literally just an aws wrapper with a 1000% upcharge, whose idea of a perfect operating system is one with an llm pre-installed and a billion flashy animations happening anytime you move a window???

if you have a pipeline running eslint on all your PRs (which you should have!), you can set no-explicit-any as an error in your eslint config so it's impossible to merge code with any in it
