Denuvo expand their Anti-Tamper and add special Unreal Engine Protection
You all absolutely adore Denuvo right? Well it's about to expanding to offer game developers more options to add into their games so here's what's coming.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Linux players getting banned on Apex Legends again
As a little PSA word of warning, it seems EA / Respawn have begun another little ban wave or they've tweaked something in their anti-cheat that Linux / Steam Deck players are getting caught in for Apex Legends.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
"After thoroughly investigating your account and concern, we again found that we actioned your account correct"
"thoroughly investigating"
Massive doubt there. EA is hostile to all customers, but even more so Linux users. Considering this isn't the first time this has happened for this game, I almost wish Valve would remove the Steam Deck compatibility listing from the Apex store page.
Bazzite is a new Fedora-based Linux distro for Steam Deck and gaming PCs

Nightdive Studios announce Turok 3 and Star Wars: Dark Forces remasters
Seems we have even more remasters on the way from Nightdive Studios, as they've now announced both Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered and Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
It looks like the open source rewrite of the engine github.com/luciusDXL/TheForceE… with a cheap AI upscaling of the cutscenes (so ugly !)
No evidence obviously, but TheForceEngine provides all the modern features they pretend to add in the remaster, and the look of the images is very similar (that is the same as in the original game, but with a renderer which support high resolutions)

The easiest method of trying the file locking feature is to open a file from within the Nextcloud Files web interface via the "Edit locally" menu item of a file. This will use your browser to communicate with the Nextcloud Desktop client to both open and lock the file.
Give it a try and if you have any feedback we would love to hear it to help improve and add to this little feature.

Born in 1861, Nettie Stevens received her PhD in 1903. She went on to discover sex chromosomes in mealworms. Until then, it was believed that the mother or environment determined males & females.
But... Edmund Beecher Wilson published first. He may have seen Stevens' results & also didn't quite get everything right.
Stevens' work had the correct conclusion, but Wilson is most often credited with this discovery.

Nettie Stevens discovered XY sex chromosomes. She didn't get credit because she had two X’s.
For most of human history, how babies became male or female was an absolute mystery.Brian Resnick (Vox)

One read his phone, other, sleep, other sit in informal pose.
What is common between them is that they do not want anyone join to their organization. What they dream about is this formality to end sooner.
Such picture happens in frozen and dead organizations. (large corp & gov).

It opens with a quote attributed to Simone De Beauvoir:
«La notion d’harmonie est une des clés de l’univers féminin:
Elle implique la perfection dans l’immobilité, la justification
immédiate de chaque élément à partir du tout et sa participation passive à la totalité…»
