X.Org developers moved to Wayland, they were the ones who made it happen.

But did they bring the same mistakes with them?

If you can self host, you can run a custom cloud instance.

the UK cannot be included, because they aren’t a Schengen-member and the EU doesn’t want customs checks on their train lines…

Ireland is also not a member of the Schengen agreement...

Yea, but the nerds that the suits put in charge of security will absolutely recognize this kids skills.

They will also recognise how much of a potential threat he is.

The suits don’t run the security teams at most corpos.

The suits absolutely do run the security teams. Very indirectly, but they do. The suits are the ones security teams have to persuade to get any sort of funding and they can and will veto a hiring decision like this.

You are correct that in most places, the suits do not usually directly intervene. Usually there is a lead guy in the security team that handles the conversations with the suits.

In a well functioning security unit, there is some trust there but not nearly enough to hire a kid like this. A veto is seen as a politically risky manoeuvre for a suit but it would absolutely be pulled for the prospect of hiring this kid, with some frankly compelling justification that any team lead would find nearly impossible to get around.

I've worked in several corporations in several security teams in the past, some amazing, some god-awful with insane suit meddling.

It could be something as simple as needing to feel powerful in their space. That's something a lot of people, autistic or not, can fall prey to, but it is more prevalent in introverts without a wide range of healthy social circles.

Think about it, how ballsy do you have to be to do an attack while in police custody? You pull that off, you're going down as a fucking legend in black hat circles.

Like I get it, the guy's got talent, and he stuck it to the man...

Except what he's actually done is leaked decades of hard work by many talented people that do deserve to see a return on their efforts.

You can point to wages and working conditions but shit like this don't solve those problems

IIRC the main DXVK dev does this for debugging purposes.

As to why it might be faster, it depends on the DX implementation and what it's being transformed into. If the original DX implementation, especially pre-DX12, is wasteful in terms of instructions, and DXVK knows of a better way to do the exact same thing in Vulkan, it can potentially offset the translation costs.

520,

It's good you were able to get out of that abusive situation and into something better. Congratulations, my friend :)

Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?

Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

520,

I do get what you mean, it's oversimplifying a complicated subject.

They mean people born with female bodies. So Cis women or FtM men.

And that's fine. VLC does their own implementation of codecs so that's not an issue. It's the patents that make it an issue.

Tiptoes, a movie about small (dwarfism) love where they cast Gary Oldman in the role of a lifetime.

The default UX used in Ubuntu may actually be confusing for newbies, as it’s quite different compared to Windows.

It's not that different, dude, and it's not like they don't give you a tutorial on first boot either.

Perhaps a distro which uses KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon, MATE or LXQt by default.

Gauge your audience dude. A Linux newbie will not know wtf anything you just named is. (For any other newbies reading, these are all 'desktop environments' - essentially collections of programs that make up a user interface)

520,

BitTornado.

520,

Might also be a shot at the Gadsden Flag, which features a coiled rattlesnake and the words 'dont tread on me'

520,

If I had it my way this is exactly how it would work.

Alas, even non-Valve PC games are moving away from that model unfortunately.

520,

I can't tell if I just found Donald Trump's account or Marjorie Taylor Greene's

Best way to go about getting CompTIA certifications?

I’m looking to get the A+ and Networking certs only because I’ll probably be laid off soon and I want to make myself even more marketable. Right now I’m a software developer with 8 years of Java experience, and from my initial studying I think the certifications shouldn’t be too hard....

520, (edited )

My advice?

Keep an eye out for when they do beta tests of exams. You'll get the cert for dirt cheap if you pass - we're talking £50.

There are two catches. The first is that some of the materials won't be covered in the existing books - the point of these is to update the contents. They do tell you the basic tech that will be covered though. If you have a solid understanding of them, you'll be fine.

The second is that you will be waiting MONTHS to get your result. I believe they wait until the exam you tested goes hold before giving you the cert. Last time, I waited something stupid like 6 months.

It is explicitly kung fu. They say as much in the film.

They just called it The Karate Kid for brand recognition. It's not like they haven't abused the name before.

520,

Cumin. You meant cumin.

You can use a swap file in your main partition, but most installers won't set this up for you. You'll want to follow this guide after installation: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/

I literally made my own. Pulls down the OGG directly and saves it, then uses Spotify's own APIs to correctly tag the file

So, the way I did it, I used Librespot as a base and modified the code. It was a good introduction to Rust.

Piracy is Preservation (feddit.de)

Image description: a screenshot from the Wikipedia page for the Doctor Who TV series, with a user-added caption that reads “Preserve the media you can before it’s gone forever.” The Wikipedia article reads, “No 1960s episodes exist on their original videotapes (all surviving prints being film transfers), though some were...

520,

People absolutely do care. These lost media include the origins of shows that are still relevant today. But backups weren't exactly treated with much care until relatively recently.

520,

That and Persona 5 has very few differences on Switch Vs PC. Framerate is the main one, but it isn't the kind of game where framerate makes a real difference.
