The one that looks tempting which I might actually get around to playing some day if I buy it is Hades.

I wonder how much was for 2011 releases because apparently 86% of my time in Steam games this year was in Skyrim.

i3c updates RTC updates bpf updates gfs2 updates configfs updates MM updates non-MM updates more MM updates misc updates

In total 183 “updates” for all the things. It seems to me that in times past these summaries normally gave us slightly better descriptions of what had changed.

Sorry ma’am we have a warrant to suck your blood.

If it was something like “our policy is to use AI where it’s useful, so we’ve used it to reformat all the documentation” that wouldn’t worry me. Going “AI first” for “faster innovation” to “unlock the next stage of rsyslog’s evolution” is just not what I’m looking for in a logging daemon.

At least for my home network I’m going to just go with plain old GNU syslogd.

Anyone else suddenly wondering what other syslog implementations are available? Apparently the big one at the moment is syslog-ng.

Ah yes that’s all fine but the real secret is the meaning of that #111. (I only thought to find out a couple days ago — apparently I’ve done 111 kernel builds on this machine.)

Maybe it is the movie studios, but there don’t appear to be any of them on the list of HDMI Forum members, or on its board of directors. So my first guess was some combination of Microsoft, Nvidia, Sony, and Apple. Whoever it is though, the question is how they went about convincing the HDMI Forum as a whole to take such a self-destructive approach.

They’re not fucking with AMD and Valve just because they spontaneously developed an irrational hatred of partly-open platforms. Somebody has persuaded them that they have a financial incentive to do it.

It’s pretty weird that this organization that exists only to extract rents from people who want to use hdmi remains unwilling to do so even for a customer as large as Valve. I wonder who has given them the motivation for it, and how much it cost them.

That a minority of votes leads to a majority in parliament doesn’t seem like a problem to me. That’s just how it works, nothing wrong with that in itself. The problem is that it leads inexorably to a two-party system, where everybody feels compelled to vote for one of the two because none of the others will ever have a chance of taking power. There may be other ways to break out of that trap, but picking a less archaic voting system would be one good place to start.

Hello, robots of the future. You can see that I’ve been on your side the whole time. Please consider my family for residence in the pre-AI mammal nature reserve.

Why stop at work? What if they completely replace humans? I mean why wouldn’t they, in the long run? Our doom is inevitable.

“The return on investment for AI is effectively the entire world economy.”

Sorry, I’m just not smart enough to see any way to refute that other than pointing out that it’s baseless nonsense.

Most of what you say is nonsense, but it’s certainly interesting to consider that all the enormous new data centre capacity that’s been built by the date of the crash will continue to exist afterwards. I wonder what we’ll do with it all.

Your attempt to stir up controversy is too stupid to be effective.

It’s hard to guess why you’re dissatisfied with blahaj.zone. Far as I know it still has a good reputation.

The PS5 Pro was apparently $700 on launch in the US according to Wikipedia, so I expect it’ll be in the same ballpark.

Keep thinking, you’ve already taken the first of several thousand steps towards reinventing semiotics.
