No it's not. If Steam goes down you cannot keep playing your games without using a crack to get around the DRM.

Oof, that hurt. I miss dedicated servers.

Imagine if the original Star Wars movie ends right before they send out the X-Wings to attack the Death Star. That's sort of how Alita felt. It's been a while and I only saw it once, but basically she is trying to get to this "upper city" area to compete in some sort of battle race thing. It ends as soon as she gets up there basically.

OP, did you see the movie? It is set up for a big race thing that never happens. It essentially ends on a cliff hanger.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 0 points 22 hours ago

You still called them a name though.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 22 hours ago

Well, yeah, that's why it pissed them off, probably.

Even though there is no such term/trope/meme associated with the name "Cathy" at all?

Though Karen is the most popular example, people often use random names of white women in the same way. Examples include "Staci", "Brenda", etc.

GOG is the only big option if you want to own the games you purchase.

I think it's pretty clear from context that they mean they have the ability to perpetually play the games because of the lack of DRM, not the right.

Nobody is saying otherwise.

I'm not sure if this is a weird bug with the search or there's something weird in the database. It's also odd that they show different subscriber counts. Both link to !til@lemmy.world.

Edit: This is related to a known problem as Ategon mentioned. Disregard! :)

Update: Turns out I was too concerned. The manual actually says to use the top rack.

I hear that a lot but, how bad is it really? Does it affect you (if you use Debian)? Aren't there ways to install newer versions of most things that actually matter?

Two different webs very close together. I like to imagine they'd chat about their days of they could!

Seeing that Uncle Bob is making a new version of Clean Code I decided to try and find this article about the original.

Opening your router to the Internet is risky. Are there any guides for the basics to keep things secure? Things like setting up fail2ban? My concern is that I'll forget something obvious.

Edit: I haven't had much of a chance to read through everything yet, but I really appreciate all these long, detailed responses. ❤️ Thanks folks!

This part of this blog post has always made me happy and I come back it from time to time. This is regarding the scene in Tron Legacy when one of the characters stops another from hacking. If you'd like to see the scene for context here it is. The time code is when the particular portion is. https://youtu.be/Qeh3E67brBs&t=231

In addition to visual effects, I was asked to record myself using a unix terminal doing technologically feasible things. I took extra care in babysitting the elements through to final composite to ensure that the content would not be artistically altered beyond that feasibility. I take representing digital culture in film very seriously in lieu of having grown up in a world of very badly researched user interface greeble. I cringed during the part in Hackers (1995) when a screen saver with extruded "equations" is used to signify that the hacker has reached some sort of neural flow or ambiguous destination. I cringed for Swordfish and Jurassic Park as well. I cheered when Trinity in The Matrix used nmap and ssh (and so did you). Then I cringed again when I saw that inevitably, Hollywood had decided that nmap was the thing to use for all its hacker scenes (see Bourne Ultimatum, Die Hard 4, Girl with Dragon Tattoo, The Listening, 13: Game of Death, Battle Royale, Broken Saints, and on and on). In Tron, the hacker was not supposed to be snooping around on a network; he was supposed to kill a process. So we went with posix kill and also had him pipe ps into grep. I also ended up using emacs eshell to make the terminal more l33t. The team was delighted to see my emacs performance -- splitting the editor into nested panes and running different modes. I was tickled that I got emacs into a block buster movie. I actually do use emacs irl, and although I do not subscribe to alt.religion.emacs, I think that's all incredibly relevant to the world of Tron.

Literally. I open up my terminal and try to cd Desktop only to be told that no such file exists. I thought for sure everyone this was happening to was just not reading something correctly and were foolish. Nope! It literally began deleting my files.

Edit 2: Even once it's done and you have them locally and not "on demand", the Desktop is in ~/OneDrive/Desktop instead of ~/Desktop. See this helpful comment.

It looks like there might be a way to sort of disable Files on Demand but it looks like it won't let me do it until it's done uploading? I'll post updates.

Not to be dramatic, but I'm really going through it. My mouse logitech mouse is suddenly chattering really bad and double clicking everything. Also while Steam refuses to let me disable auto updates for all games in any sort of easy way. And DDG seems intent on only showing me results related to launching games without updating (as opposed to merely disabling auto updates until I launch). The chatter fixer I found for my mouse does not work and the other requires some logitech program to even try to use. (The repo doesn't mention the name.) This is awful. When it rains it pours, I guess. Literally can't even high light this text to wrap it in a spoiler. This is fucking stupid.

Context: My parents have a family plan for Microsoft 365 they added me too and it has 1 TB of storage I can use. I wouldn't have turned it on otherwise.


Edit: My desktop background has literally vanished and turned solid black.

DO NOT ENABLE ONE DRIVE.
