Except for the board of directors that actually steers the company.

Du rechnest nicht richtig. Es dauert immer genau so lange wie vorher, um zur nächsten Stufe zu gelangen. Also nochmal 16 Stunden.

How about co-op multiplayer? I’ve seen a few of those for Baldur’s Gate 3. Like Neil Newbon or Jennifer English. Neil plays with his friend Tom (whose surname I have forgotten) and Jennifer with her girlfriend Aliona Baranova. Except for Tom all of them acted in the game.

At least for me 3.5 is still incredibly unstable. Every time I test it I get a crash of the whole system about every second play session.

Yeah, you’re right. It isn’t really NSFW. But in some super stuck up cultures this is considered offensive.

Ask someone with CFS/ME. This should have been common knowledge for about half a century or so.

Isn’t Yahoo using Bing in the background?

www really doesn’t matter and has nothing to do with the quality of a website. It used to be that servers would use the www subdomain so that they could be told apart from their mailservers (which would use smtp) and other servers they might have.

Nowadays this isn’t really needed. Most websites can be accessed with and without the www. The www is usually just used out of tradition and because it makes a domain look more like a web address for the masses.

Strange how perception works. The last time I was really amazed by graphics was with Unreal. I could admire the castle in the intro for hours.

The Doom 3 alpha was astonishing as well. But by the time it was released it felt like just another gradual advancement among all the other games.

Maybe it’s a console vs PC thing where console players would get and incredible leap with each generation whereas PC players saw all the steps to reach the next generation.

No PC can download anything in standby mode. Only RAM gets power. So no, it cannot download anything while in standby.

bjoern_tantau,

Yeah, that shouldn’t be a problem. I don’t bother with a lockscreen because the device is unencrypted and it never leaves the house anyways. But if you were to set one up in desktop mode all the programs would continue running normally in the background.

You can trivially set your own password when you take out the SSD or boot from an external medium.

On the software side MythTV used to be the best. But it’s been years since I’ve used broadcast TV, so I don’t know how it holds up at the moment.

Stackoverflow and the associated sites are more or less like that. It sometimes has problems with overzealous users marking tangentially related questions as duplicates but overall it seems to work.

Downvoting costs karma and it’s encouraged to give reasons for a downvote. If an answer is outdated a newer answer often quickly rises to the top and often enough the original answerer will promote the better answer. And you can also edit other people’s answers and you can see an edit history.

But it only works if there are enough knowledgeable people participating. It’s especially bad with new questions because either the question is low quality or the first answer which gets accepted by the questioner right away is bullshit.

zip or 7z for compressed archives. I hate that for some reason rar has become the defacto standard for piracy. It’s just so bad.

The other day I saw a tar.gz containing a multipart-rar which contained an iso which contained a compressed bin file with an exe to decompress it. Soooo unnecessary.

Edit: And the decompressed game of course has all of its compressed assets in renamed zip files.

The Green Room

Leftist punk rock band plays in a nazi bar and opens up with the song “Fuck Off Nazi Punks”. But it gets worse when they witness a murder and get trapped in a room and have to get out.

Pretty realistic movie you wouldn’t even expect to go to horror. With a great Patrick Stewart as the leader of the Nazis.

So that’s what happened when I encountered them in a tavern while having daylight or so on me. I knew they were there from a previous playthrough but they instantly disappeared on my second one.

State of Signal on Linux phones

I’m toying with the idea of trying to get Linux on my Fairphone 3 running. But one thing that was lacking on my Pinephone back then was the lack of a good Signal client. There were one or two available, but they were clunky. I helped out with one or two tickets but I lacked the time to do more and now I lack the energy....

It’s their desktop client. It’s x86 only because of Electron.

Post-Covid-Behandlung und PEM - Auf Krücken rein, im Rollstuhl raus (www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de) German

Ich bin selbst betroffen. Im Grunde genommen hat mich dieser Beitrag nur wütend gemacht. Ich kann anscheinend froh sein, dass ich nicht sofort in eine Reha gekommen bin. Wobei die Ansätze meines damaligen Hausarztes es auch geschafft haben mich ans Bett zu fesseln.

“The dog is buried there” = the problem is found there.

We’ve got the same in Germany. Probably carried over because we’re neighbours.

First thing that came to my mind was “Da wird doch der Hund in der Pfanne verrückt!” - “That makes the dog in the pan go mad!” You basically say it when you’re angry about something. Usually as part of a string of expletives as you charge up a long furious rant.

Because it’s one of the few true ones? The media and politicians trump up fears of immigrants and poor people while downplaying or ignoring tax evasion, both legal and illegal.

OP’s solution would be getting rid of capital all together and becoming best buds with China and Russia, as shown by other posts. But that is not expressed here.

Ironically, becoming best buds with Russia is something the Left and the Right agree on. At least in Germany.

The Steam Deck, nay Linux, is crying out for an official GeForce Now app (www.pcgamer.com)

“There is not a native app on Steam deck today,” said Andrew Fear, GFN boss, back in January. “Use a Chromium browser to make it work. I would say that both Nvidia and Valve, I think we’re both interested in making [GeForce Now on Steam Deck] better. But we don’t have any announcements on a native app coming to...

So using a browser is not an option? Last time I tried Microsoft’s streaming service with Fortnite on my Deck it worked very well. It was just missing mouse and keyboard support to be viable for desktop.

Forscher kritisieren Studienlage: Wird das Long-Covid-Risiko überschätzt? (www.n-tv.de) German

Das Phänomen Long Covid bleibt umstritten. Ein Forscherteam rechnet nun mit der aus ihrer Sicht methodisch katastrophalen Studienlage ab. Diese würde eine Zerrbild der Gefährdung hervorbringen. Wie hoch ist das Risiko, an Long Covid zu erkranken, wirklich?...

bjoern_tantau,

Was mich als betroffener am meisten aufregt ist, dass die Erschöpfungs-Symptomatik schon seit Jahrzehnten bekannt ist. Aber CFS/ME wurde einfach von den meisten Ärzten immer als Schwachsinn abgetan, kontraproduktive Empfehlungen herausgegeben und kein Geld für Forschung freigegeben. Insofern ist Long Covid für die CFS/ME-Patienten ein Segen, weil endlich mal was passiert.

Aber viele Ärzte halten auch jetzt noch Long Covid für ein Märchen. Musste meinen Hausarzt deswegen wechseln. Seine Empfehlung einfach so wieder arbeiten zu gehen hat mich quasi ans Bett gefesselt. Aber auch bei meiner neuen Ärztin bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob sie mich ernst nimmt.

Ich habe mich jetzt zu einer Studie mit Blutwäsche angemeldet. Hoffentlich werde ich angenommen und bekomme nicht das Plazebo.

Und ich sehe schon kommen, dass andere CFS/ME-Patienten keine Hilfe bekommen werden, weil sie kein Corona hatten. Dabei ist die Symptomatik komplett identisch.
