I would like to point out that they are free to modify the source code before building the binary they distribute. Being open source does not mean protection from secretly stealing data.

With chrome it is obvious because the closed part is called chrome and the open is chromium. But it is certainly possible to not make “stealing” magic on top public.

One very simple things I try is updating the glorious eggroll proton version and force-use that. Changing the proton version sometimes (especially switching to an older one) requires deleting the compatdata (wineprefix folder) of the game.

Well, in essence yes. But I have seen enough mishandling and homegrown stuff of custom date-time calculations that this could get interesting. I suspect that there are a lot of systems where the TZ database is never updated which at least will result in shifted displayed local time.

Also, it is fun to get data from old programs and also from userinput where the actual offset has to be guessed from the timezone. And if that conversion data is old, fun is had. It does not matter how time is represented internally in this case.

Every time this topic comes up I wonder how many computer systems this will break. Maybe we find out soon if this is really realized.

For some very weird reason it never crossed my mind, and I really do not know why, that I could invest in a huge healthcare corporation whose target it is to provide as little healthcare as possible. But your comment made me think about that that is possible to do.

Such a bummer :( I really do hope that something finally works out for you!

I am somewhat in a similar boat. I have like one to two friends left and also looking for a partner. I never go out and only stay at home.

I know that this is definitely not for everyone but rather for a small minority, but I found and joined the furry fandom. They are loving and welcoming and so put my hopes into them. There is a high chance that there is a local meetup in your area but I have been too shy to attend yet. Instead, I opted straight for a convention which I think is a better starting point for me because it is more anonymous. Note, that this is just a suggestion since the convention did not happen yet and I am looking forward to it patiently.

I read of such stories once in a while. Sadly, I cannot relate because I always played singleplayer games back then, so I missed out on that. But I would like to add that joining pve world events in guild wars 2, there is some chance that there are people chatting publicly like they have known each other for a long time. Not sure what is is worth, though, but it always give good vibes to work together. Me playing mostly wvw (pvp) we (me and my friend) somehow found some likeminded people who invited us to their private voice chat and talk there while playing together. It is not very often, but it is a start, I guess.

Not sure where I was going with that but I though I add what I could I guess. Thank you for reading!

It’s cool but as soon as I need to move I am out. Moving is inconvenient at best and nausiating at worst (for me). So that does not leave me with a lot of possible games. Edit: I am sure that is the same for most people.

I am exposing docker via tcp in wsl and set the env var on the host to point to it. A bit more manual but if you don’t need anything special, it works too.

I never understood why everyone uses it as a ignore list. In my own and work repositories I always exclude everything by default and re-add stuff explicitly. I have had enough random crap checked in in the past by coworkers. Granted, the whole source folder is fully included but that has never been a problem.

Man, I always found that weird but never looked it up…

And I thought that “8” had something to do with “netes” because it somewhat resembles the pronunciation 🤦‍♂️

Yeah, if you get this exception and not doing anything not-“normal” then the chance is high that there are multiple versions of the same class. A possible way to trigger this is when extracting code to a separate module without changing the package. If you copy instead of move and change something you will have a bad time. It is also possible that the IDE complains but building and executing works.

Fun times!

First time I read in windows update “we are commited to reduce co2 emissions” I was like “wtf”.

This is currently happening to me and I hate it.

Something between linux kernel 6.2 (working) and 6.7 (broken) and all I have at best is a generic warning message that yields just a few results and all are unrelated.
