They sure seem obsessed with it needing to be a black oppressor. Maybe I’m insane but it always gives me the distinct stench of racism. Like they think it would be somehow worse for their enemies to lose to “the blacks”.

That’s not really how Lemmy works, it’s more like Reddit, where you’d probably want to look at communities. But I’ve not seen anyone announce any new vulns here, people just post links to articles about them.

Searching for communities from the db0 instance should get you a bunch related to cybersecurity and infosec (only reccomending as some other instances have defederated from the .ml instance you’re posting from/in). If I have some time later I’ll edit this post with some.

EDIT: Posting from my phone, so apologies that these are direct links rather than in the “home instance agnostic” format

It’s very simple. The US government maintains a list of sanctioned entities and companies. US citizens and businesses are not allowed to do business with these entities. Most of the removed maintainers either used their company email, or very publicly are employees of these sanctioned companies.

There’s no investigation of connections or anything complicated going on here.

Also, if you think corporations becoming effective government is some Russia specific thing, I have a bridge to sell you.

He’s practically always been like this. If anything he’s notably softened with age.

From being able to work on Linux stuff without having their contributions reviewed by someone else.

It’s an important distinction many seem to miss.

Congrats, now you have irradiated zombies. And any not truly destroyed by the explosion would effectively just get knocked down by the shockwave and get right back on up.

Apology starting with “per my last email”? Nah, that’s the “I’ve officially stopped caring and I’m highlighting your failure to read for all to see.”

I would love to see The Protomen’s albums adapted into a muscial (assuming they ever finish Act 3). Reading the liner notes while listening along gets close, and they already did the music for “Terminator the Second” (musical shakespearian adaptation of Terminator 2).

Yep, and don’t just state the what, but the why in your docs.

The why really helps with knowing if a step is still important, or if it no longer applies. This is especially important with anything cloud based, as I’ve seen weird workarounds become no longer needed due to updates, and I would never have caught it without my notes on why we had the weird workaround to begin with.

Not content with unasked for evangelizing in Windows communities and posts, this Stallman’s Witness tries their hand in an even less welcome locale.

Injured by the failure of their attempt, they seek sympathy back in friendlier climes.

Even so, why post this and not any one of countless other things?

Like I feel that you’re missing a clear sign here. Most people would roll their eyes and move on. This is quite possibly the most “leopards ate my face” post in this community and yet it’s being upvoted because “hooray tribalism” over something as asinine as OS (really kernel) choice.

Then why did you bother posting here complaining about it?

Common Redist is used for “commonly redistributed” installers of other software the game relies on.

Like how sometimes when you install a game through steam and it also installs a Microsoft .net framework (because it needs that installed to run). In that case you’d the .net installer in the common redist folder. In this case, all those VCredist files.

OALinst is just an installer for OpenAL, a piece of audio processing software. A lot of games use it for handling positional audio, like something exploding to your left and behind you actually sounding like it exploded behind and to the left. Some games will also use it for more complicated audio things, like actually simulating sound echoes against the walls of a room and their material.

Yep. Got diagnosed with a genetic liver issue and the immediate rule from the doctor was “Nothing with acetominophen ever again. You can probably get away with a (alcoholic) drink or two a week, but don’t even think about acetominophen.”

My dumb ass had been practically living off Day and Nyquill.

Estimates from earlier this year are that they spend $2.35 for every $1 they make.

For additional context, this was not a choice, but a requirement. The Linux Foundation is US based, and Torvalds is a US citizen. This was required due to current US sanctions against Russia, and was not just some sort of “Russia bad” thing from Torvalds that a lot of people are framing it as.

Sorry to break it to you, but this has been the state of games purchasing/preservation since at least the 90s. Check instruction manuals for old cartridge games, most have disclaimers in the back that you only purchased a license.

The bright side is that despite all of that, games preservation is still going quite strong. Just through piracy and not entirely legal means. This really doesn’t change anything, except online only games won’t be as easy to preserve as people had hoped. This isn’t a step back in any way. It’s just a confirmation that things are still what they have been for decades.

Definitely the business plan of a working product. /s

Wasn’t this literally the shady research that Facebook got caught doing with Cambridge Analytica? Specifically tweaking a user’s feed to be more negative resulted in that user posting more negative things themselves and more engagement overall.
