(Bane voice) ”For now…”

I wouldn’t be worried. Nuclear waste is fairly easy to detect and carries a unique signature from the reactor that it came from. If an operator starts dumping waste, they’re going to be caught very quickly.

Maybe we should fix the insanity that is US copyright law.

Unity uses mercurial for version control so maybe this is news to them.

Can we just switch to fiber interfaces already? TB5 apparently has a one-meter maximum passive cable length, compared to TB4’s already short two meters.

Starting January 1, a Unity Runtime Fee will be charged to any game that has passed a revenue threshold in the past year and a lifetime install count.

Still shitty, but at least the fee only applies if you’ve already hit the revenue threshold. Maybe this is an ill-conceived effort to raise the floor on game prices (or price out low-cost ones)? A $60 game can afford a 20-cent extra fee a few dozen times. A 99-cent game is a non-starter though.

8Hz at 180dB would do nicely.

I blame Linux distros for being too complicated and unintuitive for 95% of the population, which in turn gives it a negligible market share from a game development perspective.

I’m not forced to keep anything on Linux

KNotes has entered the chat…

Edit: apparently it’s not KNotes proper - just the built-in KDE sticky notes applet that is bundled with the environment and is impossible to remove if you want to use KDE Plasma.

I wouldn’t listen too closely to discount Neil deGrasse Tyson these days, especially in domains in which he has no qualifications whatsoever.

While WEI definitely doesn’t qualify as a rootkit itself, any useful attester is going to require aspects of one - whether it’s a phone asserting that it hasn’t been rooted, or a PC running with approved SecureBoot and TPM keys.

At first I thought the $87/mo quoted in the article was still way cheaper than an equivalent cable plan, but that was based on 2015-timeframe pricing when I canceled my cable plan, where I’d have to pay around $260/mo for Comcast Premium Plus. I just checked though, and an equivalent cable plan is only $67/mo. for me now.

laughing, too

Have you ever looked at linux kernel CLs? Many of the more substantial ones come from someone @intel.com, @microsoft.com, @google.com, etc.
