Yeah this being just as easy on bb forums or literally any webpage with a public comment section was my first thought as well..

Isn't most of the internet scraped anyways, by the internet archive? The concerning part is that this is 100% going to be used to train some coomer brained AI. Scraping, botting, scamming: all those things are going to happen on large public communities.

Season 4 Episode 4 if I remember correctly. He is credited as writer on the Wikipedia list of episodes. I can recommend the rest of the season as well, less than two hours

Afaik space isn't self cooling. Overheating of spacecraft is a thing. I think they can only cool through infrared radiation or something.

I'm glad for Laidlaw not getting stuck on Half-Life. It's been a long time, people grow and move on. Imagine him feeling like this about Half-Life but writing for the sequel anyway out of a sense of duty, completion or other silly reason. It would be a total disaster. Half-Life: Alyx was fantastic, and felt like just another entry, a natural fit, in the Half-Life universe. This is not in spite of, nor because of, Laidlaw being absent from its development. There are simply a bunch of amazing people putting their heart and soul into these games.

I do hope the next Half-Life entry will be a regular PC game though. I wouldn't wish it upon people who don't own VR to miss out on another excellent game.

On a sidenote its crazy we got a Love Death & Robots episode based on Laidlaw's first book. Definitely gonna watch that.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are a bumper crop of level 10 CVEs in the latest and "greatest" version of Windows 7 that will never get patched. Unless you have one of those special enterprise licenses that they keep updating.

endof10.org seems like a good website to direct people to via posters in your local community center or church. Or you can call a repair club in your area to ask if they want to be listed. Those are likely to have some Linux enthousiast members and already have a location.

It's not as simple as telling people to use F-Droid. People with non-rooted phones won't get automatic updates via F-Droid which is a big hurdle. Unless I'm misremembering? I wouldn't know because I run rooted CalyxOS now. Last time I used F-Droid on a plain Android phone is a while ago for me.

Haha yeah you definitely don't want to do that. It was meant as a slightly ridiculous hypothetical. There are definitely better suited UI libraries it there.

Fijn dat het daadwerkelijk van de grond komt. Een paar dagen terug waren er meerdere petities met minder dan 100 handtekeningen. Als er een duidelijke "hoofdpetitie" is zijn er toch meer mensen geneigd om te tekenen.

Bit barebones reporting. Here's an article that at least quotes portions of the interview: https://wccftech.com/epic-games-launcher-is-indeed-clunky-admits-epics-tim-sweeney/

I can only partially empathize with the argument that Steam is better because of 15 years of refinement. Yes, they have a big featureset, amazing APIs, developer kit, the workshop, the list goes on. There are a lot of technical challenges here.

However, what cannot be excused with this argument is the Epic Launcher UX being this clunky, lmao. Yes, making a bunch of UI is nontrivial and takes work, but its also not rocket science. The layered and staggered loading of different UI elements and overal slowness of the whole thing cannot be explained by the lifespan of Epic Launcher. Steam was just as responsive on my old Windows XP back in the day as it is now. Throw something like Dear ImGui at a bunch of juniors and they could make something that is snappier than what the Epic Launcher is now.

Google made a bunch of useful metrics called Core Web Vitals that represent responsiveness pretty well. I'm sure they would score awfully on all of them.

It is. But incorrectly marked as having an anti feature for being entirely dependent on a central server. That specific anti feature is filtered by default in the F-Droid settings. I created an issue to have the anti feature label removed.

Edit: I just noticed the F-Droid version is still 0.6.0, you might have been talking about that😅

Don't give any money to domain squatters.
