Let’s be honest, the majority here probably has a github account. Some of us are happy as a clam and wouldn’t switch no matter what happened, but there are some who would and haven’t yet. Why?
This. I’m using PyCharm with the new UI, and watching my colleagues struggle with VSCode is a bit painful to see. Not saying you can’t be productive with it, but why make your life harder than it needs to be?
Though technically independent, Russia’s judiciary was quick to understand what was expected of it once the country was at war. Since last March, judges have been imposing the harshest possible sentences on those daring to speak out against the invasion of Ukraine. Today, anyone unfortunate enough to find themselves in the...

"Oh my God, 55% of Austria’s gas continues to come from Russia,” Martin Selmayr lamented in Vienna. Paying for continued Russian supplies was tantamount to helping finance its war against Ukraine, and no one protested, he added.
“2x above WHO limits” means “within EU limits”. WHO recommends 5 micrograms, which is pretty unrealistic considering the population density of urban areas today. Unless we fully move off CO2 based transportation
I agree, as I said I would love to move off carbon based transport. But the 5 microgram goal is realistically not achievable with the current state of transportation and the current political goalposts of electrification
First of: I am a huge fan of the wizards vault and I believe it is a very good system for the average GW2 enjoyer. However, I am quite concerned with the amount of transferable wealth, farmable via alt-accounts and the general amount of gold farmed by the player base. To demonstrate it, let us take a look at some basic...
Britain’s membership of Horizon, which funds research projects tackling crucial issues from the climate crisis to terminal diseases and improving food and energy security, was agreed as part of the post-Brexit trade deal in 2020. But it was never ratified in a tit-for-tat row between the EU and the UK over Northern Ireland...
„Wer einen Nissan in den USA kauft und den Datenschutzbestimmungen zustimmt, erlaubt dem Unternehmen, Daten über die „sexuelle Aktivität“ zu erheben und weiterzugeben. Die Mozilla-Foundation hat sich bei 25 Automarken angeschaut, was diese sammeln dürfen – mit teils haarsträubenden Ergebnissen.“
Clickbait. Der Punkt mit “sexueller Aktivität” taucht nur auf, weil es dummerweise in einer Kategorie mit “driver’s license” und “credit card” auftaucht. Die policy ist natürlich immer noch viel zu breit, aber es ist nicht so wie es den Anschein macht. Scheinbar haben die aus Faulheit einfach überall den Haken gesetzt. Bedanken darf man sich beim California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), der diese haarsträubende Kategorie eingeführt hat
This category may include Social Security number, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport number; account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; precise geolocation; racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs; union membership; genetic data; unique biometric information; contents of certain mail, emails, and text messages; or health, sex life or sexual orientation information.

I’ve said this previously, and I’ll say it again: we’re severely under-resourced. Not just XFS, the whole fsdevel community.

I mean, Microsoft and Apple have career pages stating exactly what is needed. Does Linux have something like this for volunteers? I think it’s just very inaccessible to someone from the outside. Maybe start there, improve the recruitment of volunteers
Unfortunately that’s the nature of volunteer work, people just lose interest in some topics. It’s worse the more niche a topic is. Sometimes your only option is to fork

AMD recently announced FSR 3, which will support every dx11 game on AMD card. As Guild Wars 2 is CPU bound, those artificial frames generated by fsr 3 might be a gigantic improvement to fluidity of the game. Imagine having twice as much DPS in meta event. Doesn’t it sound exciting?
