Thymos,

Ugh… Went to an outdoor swimming pool this spring for the first time in years. Decided to dry up in the sun instead of toweling off. Laid down in the grass for 10, maybe 15 minutes, got slowly covered in ants. The next day I discovered I had a tick. Took me a while to go swimming again…

Thymos,

The original Yoshi’s Island is so much fun! How far along are you now?

I’ve been replaying Stardew Valley lately. My first run was in 2018 when it was still version 1.3, so there’s loads of new content to play through.

Thymos,

I had the same idea, though I’m a bit apprehensive about it. I’m not that technical, so it’s kinda difficult for me. Do you have any resources you care to share?

Thymos,

legacy add-on format

What do you need that for?

Thymos,

Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 are on sale now on GOG, at least in my region. They’re hella affordable:
www.gog.com/game/baldurs_gate_enhanced_edition
www.gog.com/en/…/baldurs_gate_2_enhanced_edition

Apparently the GOG versions also contain the original games, unlike the Steam versions. And they’re much cheaper, even without the discount. They also run on really low specs.

Thymos,

SUSE because of Yast and the (german) company’s rumored?stance on antisemitism

I was really surprised to read about the antisemitism allegation. That’s a very serious accusation. I’ve looked into it and it seems that these claims are controversial. First thing to mention is that the accuser said himself that this was about the company SUSE, and not the distribution openSUSE.

The article claims there are emails and other employees’ statements as proof, but provides none. The article is also over a year old, so why hasn’t this led to any public statements from SUSE or any legal or other actions? Antisemitism is a serious offense in Germany.

Discussions on reddit and hacker news all state that the writer has gone off the rails. When being called out on reddit for deadnaming a trans woman, he plays dumb. I don’t think he’s dumb. It seems to me like he’s transphobic and acting like a troll about it in good old American conservative fashion.

For me, this seriously calls into question any claims he makes about social justice stuff, even if it concerns himself. He apparently views other people’s social justice as something to play with, so my gut feeling is that it would be no concern to him to lie or bend the truth about stuff like this in order to achieve something. It’s all a game to him in the political arena, not serious life issues.

If I’m wrong, all he has to do is provide the proof he claims there is, even if only anonymized.

Thymos,

Yeah, I’ve not been able to find any allegations by anyone else, except for his vague mentions. There was also a Jewish person who had worked at SUSE who commented in one thread that they felt nothing less than welcomed.

Thymos,

It just goes to show how an accusation like this sticks to a company’s reputation. The reason for your company switching could be totally unrelated, yet your mind still jumps to this. Have you asked why they’re switching?

Judge dismisses major arguments in Google antitrust case (www.theverge.com)

The government’s antitrust case against Google just got significantly smaller. In a filing on Friday, a US district court judge dismissed several of the claims that the Department of Justice and a coalition of states brought against the company, including allegations that Google Search harms competing services.

Thymos,

Yeah, I looked it up the other day and apparently it only gives less results with words flagged with “-”. It’s stupid because a few years ago there was syntax to exclude a term completely, so it’s definitely possible to do. I don’t understand why they just won’t.
