Yeah, you'd need some way to make this usable for people who can't bend over/get up on the curb. The former seems somewhat easier because you can just have a charging cable "on a stick," with the release mechanism up top. Dunno how you'd solve the latter.

Probably some kind of autonomous thingy. Like, a drone with a Taser or some shit.

Should have just used AGPL from the start, instead of falling back to this fucked up modified BSD license. It wouldn't stop people from stripping the branding, but they'd have to release source code which would tell all users what they're actually using.

In particular, the companies purchase financial information from a data broker before offering a nurse a shift; if the nurse is carrying a lot of credit-card debt, especially if some of that is delinquent, the amount offered is reduced. "Because, the more desperate you are, the less you'll accept to come into work and do that grunt work of caring for the sick, the elderly, and the dying." That is horrific on many levels, he said, but "it is emblematic of 'enshittification'", which is one of the reasons he highlighted it.

What the ACTUAL FUCK‽ This is the type of shit Neal Stephenson would put in a fucking cyberpunk dystopia novel. I am filled with so much fucking rage. My sister is a nurse and goes through so much fucking bullshit at her job already. Nurses really do not need more shit thrown at them.

I knew I had heard of this game, but I couldn't remember its premise. For anyone else like me:

THE LONG DARK is a thoughtful, exploration-survival experience that challenges solo players to think for themselves as they explore an expansive frozen wilderness in the aftermath of a geomagnetic disaster. There are no zombies -- only you, the cold, and all the threats Mother Nature can muster.

I mean, I would put their ARM boxen on par with their PowerPC stuff in terms of proprietary-ness.

For those who like me who didn't know what this is, I believe it's an open source reimplementation of a Bambu AMS module. I'm probably not 100% correct about that, so if OP responds then you should listen to them, not me.

For anyone else who doesn't know what this is:


This is my build of Proton with the most recent bleeding-edge Proton Experimental WINE.

Things it contains that Valve's Proton does not:

  • Additional media foundation patches for better video playback support
  • AMD FSR patches added directly to fullscreen hack that can be toggled with WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1
  • FSR Fake resolution patch details here
  • Nvidia CUDA support for PhysX and NVAPI
  • Raw input mouse support
  • 'protonfixes' system -- this is an automated system that applies per-game fixes (such as winetricks, envvars, EAC workarounds, overrides, etc).
  • Various upstream WINE patches backported
  • Various wine-staging patches applied as they become needed

Right hand rule should be taught to every child. Fuck this whole "righty tighty" shit.

Just saying, you can absolutely hit something 500+ meters away with iron sights. Heck, I've personally done so at 900 meters. I'll grant that I was prone, however.
