In terms of expectation, this is more in line with my fears than my hopes.

All the effort they’re putting into slowing the pace of the game is just added cost for development and it’s going to hurt them where it really matters, music licensing.

Half the appeal of the original was a soundtrack of popular music that fit the mood of the frenetic gameplay perfectly. Now they’ll have to pick lower-energy tracks to suit a meandering “open world” game that might get interrupted by other players at any moment.

I plan to, which pisses off Doctor Evil’s Democrats.

Good, get it all offline so the LLM Assholes can’t use it.

Lol, worst autocorrect ever. XD

Queer folks have a bad habit of falling in love with people on the other side of the country.

This but unironically.

It was a Saturday, but I was on-call when Networking shit the bed. One of the main trunk lines degraded and they took almost five minutes to switchover to backup 'cuz their automated degredation monitoring was on a five-minute interval. XD

Hence my reference to the Wayland compositor rather than just Wayland.

Super-short version:

The system that Linux uses to draw anything on the screen (showing the desktop, your windows, their contents, etc) is called a display server.

Linux has been using a display server called the X Window System (or x11) since its inception, but it’s ancient and has limitations that can’t be fixed without breaking everything that depends on it.

The Wayland compositor is the new display server that will be replacing x11, improving security and adding support for newer features like HDR. It’s nearly ready for a full release now, and is already the default for some Linux distributions.

As long as you want, assuming that you’re fine with the security risks and everything that’s rendered incompatible in the future.

All discussions are made up.

That attitude tends to piss off conservatives. =3

Nah, we just prefer the one true Linux mascot.

Found the transphobe.

Software companies don’t want you to know this, but the open-source licenses on the internet are free. You can just take them home. I have 458 apps.

A “side-channel attack” is one where fundamental flaws in the encryption implementation method are targeted, as opposed to flaws in the cryptographic algorithm itself.

By means of analogy, if your cryptographic method is to go to a locked room to have a private conversation, then a spy doesn’t have to pick the lock if they can still hear you through the door. The locked-room security method itself isn’t flawed, but implementing it without a soundproof door has much the same result.

In this case:

The threat resides in the chips’ data memory-dependent prefetcher, a hardware optimization that predicts the memory addresses of data that running code is likely to access in the near future. By loading the contents into the CPU cache before it’s actually needed, the DMP, as the feature is abbreviated, reduces latency between the main memory and the CPU, a common bottleneck in modern computing. DMPs are a relatively new phenomenon found only in M-series chips and Intel’s 13th-generation Raptor Lake microarchitecture, although older forms of prefetchers have been common for years.

Security experts have long known that classical prefetchers open a side channel that malicious processes can probe to obtain secret key material from cryptographic operations. This vulnerability is the result of the prefetchers making predictions based on previous access patterns, which can create changes in state that attackers can exploit to leak information.

So, the encryption the chips use is solid, but some of the hardware employed can still leak data.

Squats, I guess?

Do you think everyone is entitled to found a country and start conquering the inhabited territories outside their borders or would you be satisfied with a secular one-state solution that grants freedom of movement and religion to both diasporas?

Spotted the zionist.

Anybody that’s unwilling to give material aid for a genocide would be a good start.
