Fair. It'd still be nice to have upgradeable RAM, tho.

Could offline physical piracy be good to games?

The other day I saw a bunch of USB sticks for sale at a gas station with greatest hits of various artists and music genres and it got me thinking of physical piracy again. It's something I haven't consumed for over 15 years, but with the fall of prices of USB sticks it is completely viable economically if you do the math, and I...

If they come up with some way to make it as hard as possible for the buyers to share these cracked games among them, they could make a lot of money with this.

This kind of thinking is the bane of humanity.

Forgot name of medication I was given while living in France

I was hospitalized for schizoaffective disorder and given a high dose of liquid medication every night to knock me out. I can’t remember the name of it but I think it originated in Spain. Google isn’t helping me and probably now thinks I am trying to smuggle drugs into the US. Lol.

One would think two years is enough to pick up a bit of the local language.

pastermil ,

I feel like you're doing something wrong if you live in a non English country and never get exposed to the local language.

Hey, A2 would do!

I know this might trigger you, but... Alpine Linux

pastermil ,

Alpine comes with busybox. Yes, I'm pretty sure they turn on all the good features.

By the way, on which system you were using that not all the features are turned on?

pastermil ,

I got OpenWRT on my home router and I've never had this issue. I guess I just never have that advanced of a use case for its command line.

You're also free to install bash (or other sh) if space allows.

pastermil ,

Yeah I hear you. While I personally never fell like it's that severe of functional limitations, I am aware on how stripped down busybox is. I'm also aware that some systems lives off 4MiB of flash and 32MiB of memory, so if you ask that question, you might get the answer "yes, it is necessary".

Meanwhile, if you have the luxury to install bash (or other full-featured shell), then that's one option to consider. You seem lime you're familiar with UNIX shell, and Lua is a whole new language. The Lua interpreter that comes by default might be stripped down as well anyway.

pastermil ,

I do get where they're coming from with Lua. With luci (the web interface), Lua must be installed as it's a requirement. However, it might be the stripped down version as well (AFAIK). Also, if you know bash & coreutils already, it might be counterproductive to have to learn something new.

I'm just glad that I could help. It's not fun to get stuck in such technical roadblock.

Daaaaaamn

Taking the meaning of sneezing your guts out to another level

Aside from the fact it's paid product, it seems to me they're trying so hard to reinvent the wheel.

Fanatics don't see themselves as fanatical.

Goddamn millenials!

Less reason to subscribe then!

With swapable RAM modules next, I hope

pastermil ,

The less money on them, the better!

pastermil ,

No.

Original only.

They're closed-circuit, alright.

I guess if AI can destroy humanity, then humanity should never have existed in the first place.

Some company heads hoped return-to-office mandates would make people quit, survey says ( arstechnica.com )

Nearly two in five (37 percent) managers, directors, and executives believe their organization enacted layoffs in the last year because fewer employees than they expected quit during their RTO. And their beliefs are well-founded: One in four (25 percent) VP and C-suite executives and one in five (18 percent) HR pros admit they...

pastermil ,

That's because the top ones have better options out there while the ones below, who are worse performing in the first place, often have no option but to stay, ignoring their fear and discomfort.

pastermil ,

It would also be beneficial to the copyright enforcement, as they could just take it all down in one move.

pastermil ,

I mean, couldn't he at least park? Who'd attend a court hearing while driving anyway?

pastermil ,

Might as well take out all the plastic while at it.

pastermil ,

Quite a cool wallpaper. Makes me why they decided not to include it anymore.

pastermil ,

I know it sounds crazy, but a better free alternative exists.

pastermil ,

We were all there!

    Definitely doesn't help that some people in black community (not black people in general) are entitled piece of shit who think their (ancestors') suffering is a free pass to treat everybody else like shit. Some of them are straight up black supremacists hiding behind the flag of race equality.

    Which usenet is this?

    Google unveils Veo, a high-definition AI video generator that may rival Sora ( arstechnica.com )

    On Tuesday at Google I/O 2024, Google announced Veo, a new AI video-synthesis model that can create HD videos from text, image, or video prompts, similar to OpenAI's Sora. It can generate 1080p videos lasting over a minute and edit videos from written instructions, but it has not yet been released for broad use.

    Are they gonna demo it like they do with Gemini?

    pastermil ,

    I second this!

    They built a tower not for God, but for the Internet? Blasphemous!

    Exactly this!

    @linux Sharing a 'small' inconvenience I had to fix with (I suspect is the same) - I couldn't launch snaps (spotify, bitwarden) after update - error was: cannot determine seccomp compiler version in generateSystemKey fork/exec /usr/lib/snapd/snap-seccomp: no such file or directory

    The fix (I first tried re-installing, didn't work) was to:
    a. locate snap-seccomp - was in /usr/libexec/snapd
    b. symlink: ln -s /usr/libexec/snapd /usr/lib/snapd

    pastermil ,

    Why not flatpak?

    pastermil ,

    I would take this with a grain of salt. For me, as long as the package is available and functional for my prefered installation method, I'd go with that.

    Take cerbot for example. For some reason, the cerbot developers uses snap in their installation guide. I've been using apt on all my projects that requires https, both personal and professional (yes, I get paid to do this, among others). Never had any issue with it.

    pastermil ,

    the attack surface for something that isn't officially maintained by the developers, and that doesn't have more vetting (e.g. distribution packages) opens up room for malicious actors.

    There are actors like #jiatan out there.

    Funny that Jia Tan was an official maintainer of xz until he was found to be problematic.

    Speaking of verifying, you know you can't really verify anything on the snap server since they're proprietary, right? On the contrary everything on flathub is laid to bare for anyone to look at.

    In the end, you're free to choose. Since you've kindly provided your argument, I've provided mine in hope you'd reconsider.

    When people start to live in space, we can ration oxygen to the occupants, force them to view ads to live or pay for subscriptiom

    pro-choice for me, but not for thee

    pastermil ,

    Sounds like you're bootlegging, which is illegal in many (first world) countries. That is unless you're selling purely public domain stuff.

    You should probably ask someone with legit knowledge of the local law instead of the internet.

    pastermil ,

    Lol

    I think you expected too much out of them

    pastermil ,

    What matrix space?

    pastermil ,

    Dry. Aged. Wagyu.

    What are you doing step grub?

    His dream lives on, tho 😢
