Exactly. Every article about this seems to cut corners when it comes to this very thing. Even in this one, the small print admits that they averaged the amount of CO2 produced by power plants in a given country, skipping over the fact tha

Surprisingly many, if you're bold enough to try. The only reason me and my circle of friends use Telegram is because one of us was using an Ubuntu Phone at some point, and that was the only acceptable messaging app he could use, so we

There's some of that on https://matomo.org/ , not sure why OP linked to github instead.

Huh, that doesn't sound like news. I'm pretty sure that my D70s, over 15 years old by now, was produced in Thailand too. Maybe they always built the cheaper models over there?

Indeed. Perhaps standarizing something along the lines of anyhow/thiserror and documenting it as an upgrade path for those who want it is all they need to do. Or maybe there's some cool ideas yet undiscovered. Great to see that it

Fedilab is also available on f-droid and it doesn't do any silly blocking.

Oh, of course. I meant it more in case of newly written games. The ones that already run UE4 may likely meet a slow, neglected death.

Given that game porters currently chose Metal over alternatives specifically to support the lucrative Apple market better, I'm pretty sure they'd jump ship instantly to Unity or something else that isn't an engina non grata.

Something like aforementioned rust-analyzer will catch errors like that within a second of you writing it, there's no need for recompilation.

Weird, since Raku has `loop { }` that means exactly that. I guess the author was not aware of it (or just doesn't like it). EDIT: Oh, that's in the Perl (5) code. Nevermind then. In C-like it kind of makes sense – it's 1 char

The vulnerability, on the high level, is that the Steam app doesn't verify that the store page comes from Valve, meaning that if you own a Wifi hotspot you can potentially scam and cheat the users of the Steam app. This wouldn't h

One interesting bit that I found missing on that page is ncmpcpp, which is a simple one (in a way), and also contains its entire genealogy in the name. First there was mpc, the music player (daemon) client. Then someone made the ncurses ver

From what I gathered, while his salary is 800,000, the costs of IT are about 5M. With 250% of the regular load, while it probably won't go up to 12.5M, the costs likely increase by so much than his salary is still pretty much insignifi

The original comment is about content not available to "rent". How are you supposed to pay the $3 then? Doing that through a VPN would also violate the ToS (or: be generally illegal).

How is that anywhere close to stealing? The only person who loses anything in this situation is the person that chose not to pirate the content that was not available to them.

It also works (and is similarly disgusting) in a single country where the salary discrepancy is large. I live in Poland, where the gap between IT and non-IT is staggering. Teaching programming easily nets me 5 times as much money as a regul

Perhaps they should. Our current economy of cheap, disposable goods is only possible because of the (relative) exploitation of the poor.
