I don't know the question, but cheese is the answer!🧀

A friend loves cheese on his pasta, so when a server says, 'Say when ...' I often joke about it being 'arm day.'

It’s about time. They charge a premium price for their goods, the least they can do is pay their staff a fair wage, under good working conditions.

Direct3D to Vulkan translation layer DXVK v2.5.2 brings fixes for Alpha Protocol, The Sims 2, Borderlands 2 and more gamingonlinux.com/2024/12/dire…

I'm always happy when there's a new version of Wine, DXVK or Proton.
And I still find it funny that the best way to boost performance of GTA IV on Windows is to use DXVK



Ah, not a comic book buff myself, but will celebrate that on this day in 1940, the first issue of Captain America Comics was published, with this iconic cover.

"When the first issue came out we got a lot of ... threatening letters and hate mail. Some people really opposed what Cap stood for."

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

That's cool! In addition (not instead of the reddit sub), have you thought about opening a sub on one of the federated reddit alternatives like piefed?

@Shatur @QuadRadical not currently considering most instances likely fall completely afoul of the new UK laws, the whole reason my Forum is shut, i think a lot of the Fediverse is about to get a wake up call about the Online Safety Act

Scientifically cool discovery, but kind of a bummer ...

You know how Europa, the moon of Jupiter, has an icy shell that covers a *huge* amount of water -- 2X that of Earth?

it was always a very exciting candidate for "another place in our solar system where life might have emerged"

The problem is, new estimates suggest the upper ice layer is 21 miles thick -- that's 4X the height of Mount Everest

*quite* a barrier to studying the water below

damn

@ntnsndr I'm reading Governable Spaces right now, and I'm wondering... where/if at all you see implicit feudalism crossing the line into explicit feudalism.

On one side, there's platforms like Reddit that are using protocological control to suppress dissent (arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…) and Discord that hides behind language of "servers" to mask a reality of control (something like 40,000 pre-emptive bans per year) who I don't think would call themselves feudal, but who take (explicit) action beyond the (implicit) design of their systems.

On the other, there's the examples you gave of people who call themselves "benevolent dictators" who actively wear the title even while acting more "justly" than the title may convey.

I have a lot of other thoughts on this that are backing up this question, but I'll just start with that to stick to the micro-blogging format for now lol.

in reply to SUNJIR0

For sure. Chapter 2 of the book argues that, with people like Elon Musk and Curtis Yarvin, implicit feudalism is becoming increasingly explicit as a corporate and political philosophy.

The "founder mode" idea also correlates with this.

For #reptiles, #amphibians, & #mammals there are about 10x as many unobserved... Like birds, most unobserved species only remain in tropical regions.
