Okay, that's wasted time, and your comment is inappropriate. So in very short and as a last comment: > I'm a hardcore gamer so I have over 100 games in my steam library. How hardcore^^ 358 are in mine, + many more GOG and Humbl

Mate, you are taking this too personal. your account here won't survive long like that. The "smearing foss" comment wasn't targeting you. You are just wrong about the usability and compatibility. Especially compatibility

The common Linux interfaces are very easy to decipher and have a good usability. Usability is measurable property, so that's not a guess, just a fact. Add to that the higher task purpose you can get with Linux (partly boosted by not ha

No worries, not too harsh. You are right in general, it's too huge a group. However, I still think it's right that the most poignant and relevant criticism comes from developers and people that work in the core of IT. The CCC was

There is that concept that people are comfortable with surveillance, even want it. A maybe somewhat fringe pop cultural reference to that is in Deus Ex (2000), the best video game made so far: > JC Denton: "Some people just don

It's the other way around: The criticism of these tech companies and surveillance practices often comes from developers. Organisations like the EFF or the whole crypto anarchist thing is carried by developers. In Germany, data privacy

I kinda doubt that. You would need to update the components inside the docker container, right? If you simply activate the container after years of inactivity you will have a complete insecure setup, as there would be no security updates ap

The igpu of the 5700G is not based on the RDNA 2 architecture, it is based on the older Vega architecture. It's no step up (in that compartment) than the very first Ryzen APUs, the 2200G. The 5000G series was a big disappointment in my

This is a racing game, screenshots are the wrong medium. Watch the trailer, or look at it in motion on the real console. Also, the screenshots really do suck. > with a metric ton of post-processing FX to hide the textures' low reso

Missing detail information to properly estimate it. But for now, as a lower bound I would look at the 3200G. That one had 8 CUs @ 1,25 GHz, but with Vega architecture, so two architecture steps behind. In my meta benchmark that put the 320

No, there is not. Loading times from SATA SSD and NVMe SSD is basically the same. Look for example at https://www.techspot.com/review/2116-storage-speed-game-load... - In all loading time benchmarks there is a huge spi

You're probably right. I assumed that there is a clause in the AGB permitting Youtube to in general not host a video if they don't want to. Or that there is something creating a Hausrecht in there, given them the right to chose a

Right, that part makes no sense at all to me. Even if the ToS did not include a fitting clause for the misinformation removal I see no binding right for the user to have his video hosted. That's why I added the tangent about the politi

Should be about something else than ToS, the quote is talking about a contract. The news is not sufficient to understand what supposedly happened there. That the Youtuber had a contract with Youtube, is that common? Maybe the court judged t

There is still the question of whether such a small part of a bigger work is enough to be protected, but regardless. I think the article was written before that tweet and does not assume that 1:1 copies of longer code parts happen. As I wro

Where I live: It does fall under it, if the code is sufficient complex enough (e.g. there is evident originality) to be protected under copyright in the first place.

I am too. It's so weird to see free software proponents argue for what is in effect a big extension of what should be protected under copyright. Not only using it, not only distributing it, but even learning from it - and the line ther

I'd say the novel part of the project is the Github actions/Gitlab CI integration. I haven't seen that used for RSS generation yet. That the selectors are stored in a config file is also unusual for these types of feed gener

I can only echo that sentiment, in a way. I was also surprised when looking at the hardware support with new kernels for my (very old) thinkpad how much just did not work anymore. IIRC, undervolting that processor had been possible before (
