His in-group is not LGBTQIA+, it is other rich people. The same is true for all of them.

yq is crazy cool for converting between different text-based data formats such as yaml, json, xml, csv and others, and it has a super nice pretty-printing function as well. I use it all the time!

Just be aware that your distroy might come with a yq variant too, but possibly one that isn’t as powerful as the one I linked. I know this to be true at least for Ubuntu.

Right, that can happen. If an idiot installs the panels. But then, idiots can cause all sorts of problems, like making blanket statements such as the one above!

Never used it even once. Not even sure I had ever heard of it.

I downloaded slackware from a BBS. It took forever. It booted from two floppies, a boot and a root disk. It did not even have X. I still loved it, because I recently got into programming, and all I had ever programmed on was DOS. In Linux, you could actually malloc() with any amount, even a full megabyte! It was marvellous! Later, I installed it on my HD on a separate partition. The installation process was really fascinating, so much choice, so many new programs! At least the first time.

I checked my work laptop running W11. Recall was installed and enabled. No copilot+. IT had no idea. Disabled it right away.

(re)Ditched Windows on my PC a while ago, still have to use Windows at work. Just checked my work laptop running Windows 11 (standard laptop, not a “Copilot+PC”) - sure enough, that Recall shit is installed and active. Disabled it, and made a post in our main company Teams channel with screenshots. Will be interesting to see if there are any reactions to this.

To find out if it is active in Windows 11, open up ‘cmd’ and use: (typing this from memory, hope it is correct)

dism /online /get-featureinfo /featurename:Recall

to disable it, you need a ‘cmd’ instance with admin rights:

dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:Recall

No Bruce, the people that complained simply stopped buying and playing Bethesda made games. The people who bought that stuff are different people.

This is what gcc 13.2.0 makes of it in Linux:

So basically just loading the string and calling ‘printf’ from the libc.

I hope you are not argueing that using assembly is an improvement over using C in that regard…

bc is 91 kilobytes and can work with seriously big numbers.

You want to know what 2^99812 is? bc will tell you. Hint: the result is so big I could not paste it in here. bc does not care, bc just delivers.

Not saying there is anything wrong with a GUI calculator using 103m of RAM and looking fancy while only working with tiny numbers, just saying.

“Memory list blown” was my constant companion 😫

When was the last RPG they released that didn’t require tons of patching?

I would have said “that terminator game they made in the early 90s” but that is hardly an RPG :)

A slight misunderstanding, perhaps. I meant why should Google try, as right now Firefox is no threat to them.

Have you looked at the market share of Firefox lately? Why even waste time on that?

The European commision sure wanted TTIP to happen, so there’s that.

because they sell cars to China

For how much longer? Can German cars even still compete with the Chinese, or has that ship sailed already? Come, buy the best engineering of yesteryear! Yay!

China heavily subsidizes EV manufacturers (and production in general), plus they have cheaper environmental and labour standards… it’s not like there’s a fair market EU companies can compete in without some sort of handicap.

Hah. Volkswagen is in trouble right now because they fucked up the transition to electric cars completly. What do you think will happen now? That’s right, we the (German) people will have to save them now, with our money. Basically the same shit as a subsidy, just later in the process. Kinda like what the Chinese do, just the really stupid way.

Oh, and of course, it will be everybody’s fault but their own.

It probably doesn’t matter. This type of battery is not all that interesting for things like electric cars, rather more so for things like grid energy storage on a massive scale. Think 1000s of these in a large building, getting charged during the day with excess solar energy, releasing it into the grid at night. Stuff like this is what has been missing to make even better use of renewables.
