I am not into competitive gaming but I’ll be damned if I understand why the the anti-cheat modules are built into the game instead of being an aditional package that is installed and verified through the tournament platform.

I wouldn’t give to mine. Too high of a risk of them getting sick.

This is about value. It’s about pure, unadultered, punishment.

Holy cow and sacred broccoli.

Kuru is a thing.

Let’s not do that. Let’s put them to work. Proper work. Like plowing fields. By hand. Under the sun. From sun up to sun down.

There are a few EU alternatives. Why are those not being considered.

LiberaPay is one.

Debian is my daily driver and for regular people I help. Comes with a service card saying “it will work and you will like it”.

I help for free. If someone does not like it, they can pay to have what they want done. But they don’t get to ask for help again.

Debian

Enough said.

I did and nowhere is Signal mentioned in the article.

You state Whatsapp uses Signal. So, again: how?

To my knowledge, under Signal, the encription keys are locally generated and stored, and the traffic flows between end points as a closed packet.

This does not seem to be the case here, as the keys are generated and stored outside your equipment and, thus, are viable to be used by a third party to access packets.

But I admit I speak heavily burdened by technical ignorance.

How?

We all should. Even go a bit further and write things by hand!

Portuguese. And it depends on the day.

I started picking up english even before being formally taught. I can easily follow a film, a podcast or some other media in full english with no need to dedicate the entirety of my attention to it. I can pick up humour and innuendo, along with cultural cues. Even some degree of lingo and slang.

Speaking can sometimes be challenging as I speak very fast in my native language and I tend to try to achieve to same in english, only to sound like a washing machine full of marbles on high speed.

When can I get a bit lost? Very dense accents, like scotish or some from the US. The Louisiana one throws me off completely. The australians are cool, except for their local wording that can be a bit harder to follow. Took me ages to figure what a sheila was and that calling someone a dingo was an insult.

And by the way: why can a kangoroo be a wallabee and just to rub salt on the wound most people will call it a 'roo?

Don’t know. But thank you for the warning.

GOG sent an email the other day warning the game was on discount and after taking another look at hardware the requirements it felt like a good benchmark for the technology of the time.

It was heavy back then.

I moved to a DDR4/AM4 platform when I assembled my current machine because the AM3 platform was being labelled as end of cycle and the FM segment seemed too niche.

The scales tiped when I discovered many AM4 CPUs carried on chip graphic processing capabilities and being in need of a graphics card it was more affordable for me to just buy an APU than buy a CPU and add a GPU on top.

Not being a gamer and a Linux user, throwing money on a graphics card, that by then were heavily price inflated, made little sense, so I opted by the AM4 platform.

Currently, I’m considering building a machine capable of running Wasteland 2, because that game has been under my eye for years.

I’m finding graphic cards with 4GB of memory on the market with very interesting prices. Used CPUs are cheap, unless I aim for the top tier models, with 6 or more cores. I still have the memory chips from the machine I retired (8GB) and getting an additional 8 is nothing out of reach. I just need to find a motherboard that can take 16GB or more of memory.

If I can assemble a machine capable of running that game, I’m fairly confident the system itself will be more than enough to comply with my daily computing needs and then some.

I’m already considering building a maxed out AMD based machine, with DDR3.

The last machine I had with that technology lasted me 12 years. I can vouch for it.

I know they existed but I’m not familiar with their work. So, just listen to what you can and have fun.

Toasted AI! The best kind of AI!

Yet! But should.

Never happened and I seriously doubt it ever will. But! I have a couple of maid outfits laying around if it ever does. I’ll listen if they comply with my request.

Nexus of causality?
