Not copyrightable coding

Wire is still around? Tried it literally 10 years ago and didn’t like it at all.

I didn’t know there was more than one movie.

It does seem inevitable that every distro will eventually have some amount of AI generated code, if they don’t already.

100% there is plenty of undeclared “AI assisted” code all over the place already.

I switched to Fedora years ago. Linux mint has been not as good for a long time.

Countering Ubuntu enshittification is an increasingly demanding task. Then there is also the issue that accessing bug fixes for software in the Universe repository that regular Mint inherits from Ubuntu requires Ubuntu Pro.

Same BS doesn’t happen with LMDE.

I’m currently downloading Bazzite to replace Kubuntu.

Just FYI: If you don’t care for the preinstalled gaming stuff, the same people also make a desktop/workstation flavor named Aurora: https://docs.getaurora.dev/blog/aurora-spring26-update/

humans generally just don’t like to eat each other.

The situation isn’t people from South Park being stuck in a gymnasium for a night. It’s starvation and utter desperation. People do crazy shit in such situations.

Well, it is propaganda. Selectively amplifying the truth is one way of doing that.

I’ve heard of soldiers cooking a human head from a work colleague who was hanging out on Discord or some Steam chat with Russians (he’s learning the language, not for political reasons) and they shared a video or photo of that scene as a form of macabre entertainment. So I don’t think the report amplified anything here.

I’m sure the usual suspects will claim it’s once again baseless Western imperialist propaganda.

But it’s not the first time I’ve heard of this. Last week’s news of malnutried Ukrainian soldiers was a big scandal. For Russian soldiers it was yet another Tuesday. And I can actually understand utter desperation when you’re starving. What I cannot understand why they’re not eating their commanders instead and then go home.

Gen Z (and younger) are the new boomers. Don’t know basics of technologies.

allegedly pounding his meat too loudly

Does this mean that it’s released-source? Or is this just a huge mod?

If I understood it correctly, they took the lastest Source 1 SDK and ported that to Portal.

That would be a huge ask, figuring that out for the American political system would be amazing.

Change the electoral system from first past the post to one of the saner alternatives (preferably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote) and the rest will follow on its own.

Abolish the 2 party system while you’re at it.

Videos that stop at 1080p often have an increased bitrate option with Premium (no idea how YT decides when to offer it). 1440p and 4k are available to all without Premium.

Are there any real advantages?

1. No 5 seconds forced delay when using ad blockers

2. Higher bitrates available

3. Ad blockers don’t work on Chromecast, other solutions don’t offer easy casting from the phone app

4. Better value than audio only services like Spotify

Well, of course. All notification contents go through Apple’s servers (or Google’s in case of Android).

Certain people in Iran also can access the internet to hack Western infrastructure, etc.

By your logic Iran’s internet hasn’t been blacked out either because politicians there can still post announcements on Twitter.
