It's... a bit more complicated than that. That episode, the Falcone Judge murder, was a bit of a last straw in the way most of italian political parties had dealt with mafia till that point. They realized the issue couldn't be con

I'd love to see it, too. There are a few Gists floating around supposedly letting you run a third-party game using proton, But everything I've tested fails with little to no usable debug indications on what's going wrong.

Hopefully they'll somehow support Proton and Valve devices. Trying to run older windows-only games bought on GOG with launchers like Heroic is a bit of a hit or miss, despite the Steam releases of the same games having somehow a bigger

Very unclear about the reasoning behind CDPR decision. Unless he was redistributing code or assets from the game, how is this any different from any library emulation/wrapper like Wine/Proton or the multitudes of libraries like DK

A. G. Cook and the late SOPHIE used it, so maybe it ended up being used in "brat" somehow? Honestly I think they'd probably just render the audio out and then edit in Live.

We actually do, and often - depending on who our speaker is, our relationship with them, the tone of the message, etc. Maybe our intellect is not fully an LLM, but I truly wonder how much of our dialectical skills are.

They clearly have way more in common than expected. Hell, I think AGCOM will probably rescind the fine for the sole reason they found out someone who's taking them seriously for the first time.

It's not "quasi-judicial". They have no judicial authority, at all, despite how they present themselves. They can only show them their supposed findings to a ministerial judge and tell them "Weeeh weeh, Cloudflare is bei

I just want to point out that AGCOM once decided to put out an "Economically Relevant Instagram Influencers Register". They're not really... let's say, 'on the ball' for understanding how the internet works. It

The interesting part is that neither the AGCOM nor Cloudflare quite understand how each other really work. Also they both believe they got more leeway than they truly have. AGCOM is an institutional apparatus, they operate separately, but n

IIRC Amiga Forever by Cloanto already did something similar?

It's a meaningful change in behavior though. Compared to us nerds, people aren't leaving Windows "to fight the evil Empire and join the rightful FOSS fight" or whatever pretentious bullshit de jour. They're leaving

Something I've also noticed is a trending "silent exodus" from Windows 11 to Linux and macOS from a bunch of non-technical users. Compared to the past, where some friend or relative who asked for help into moving from Windows

DRM is not, and it has never been, about piracy. It is about publishers putting an expiry date to a digital product, in order to not having to compete with their own products in the future. It is about making sure that by the time your hypo

Can't talk for the USA, but it's widely acknowledged that the spread of broadband in Europe was driven by P2P and tools like Emule/eDonkey or BitTorrent. We need some similar killer application for satellite connectivity and

At the end of the day she and the other members of the board who took the plea bargain are basically keeping most of the money, right? I know I'm basically in conspiracy territory here, but I can't stop thinking this was planned w

Fully agree with your first statement, mush less so with the other two.

Not the first time I hear of this, but I thought it was a blink-specific issue when using severely nested structures (e.g., html pages written using visual editors like Elementor or Webflow)?

Up until the late '80s-early '90s cars and rules were rather similar, and drivers like Andretti or Mansell were able to move between categories with relative ease. I'd say that the rift become apparent in '94, after the

The best comparison I can think of is that in a Indycar race, it's every driver against each other, meanwhile in Formula 1 you can feel it's the whole team that's actually taking part in the race, and the car on track is just

Did the duplicated files were even used on pc? Like, do you even have such low access to the file system that you can deduce which duplicated instance has a faster access time on a mechanical hard drive?

It reminds me of the start of Ubik[1], where one of the protagonists has to argue with their subscription-based apartment door. Given also the theme of AI allucinations, that book has become even more prescient than when it was written. [1]

No, I picked those specifically. When Pets.com[1] went down in early 2000 it wasn't neither the idea, nor the tech stack that brought the company down, it was the speculative business dynamics that caused its collapse. The fact we&#x27

If you have any experience in 3D modeling, I feel it's quite closer to 3D Unwrapping than software development. You got a bitmap atlas ("context") where you have to cram as much information as possible without losing detail,

What's the integrated video card in this board? I have an x220 and frankly the ancient Intel HD 3000 is the only limiting factor keeping me from still using it as a daily laptop.

And yet there were still some amazing games that today would be considered on the same league of the "impossible ports" for the Nintendo Switch.

I could be utterly wrong on this, but AFAIK the "emulation" in tools like Daemon Tools or Alcohol was only required when the disc image was created with partial or missing DPMS/subchannel data; If the virtual drive provides
