Israel going after Turkey will be really !!FUN!!, what with NATO and all that.

They'll do it if they can manage to make it impossible to use any adapter. PSVita used those tiny memory sticks because fuck you for wanting standardized storage solutions

Miss Trojan has a lot of explaining to do, how did she get full of Greek soldiers and not a single centaur?

The stock price of the company that caused worldwide outages and economic havoc, Crowdstrike, even in a stock market affected by the Iran war, is higher today than its peak before the outage. Massive worldwide economic harm, no real consequences.

I actually went and checked, Crowdstrike, CRWD, had an insignificant fall after the bug in October 2024 (around 300 USD). By mid November it was already up 10%. Today, it's around 768 USD - it had a huge bump up from April/26 onwards.

When developers say that LLMs make them more productive, you need to keep in mind that this is what they’re automating: dysfunction, tampering as a design strategy, superstition-driven coding, and software whose quality genuinely doesn’t matter, all in an environment where rigour is completely absent. (...) Those who are most vocal today about the dysfunctions of LLM-coding were already warning about the dysfunctions of the software industry well before the “AI” bubble began.

I feel somewhat vindicated and seen, I have been complaining about shitty software for a number of years now (increasingly bloated and slow because fuck you, get newer hardware), though mostly blaming javascript, electron and react. I should look at the bigger picture, the money, that incentivizes the dysfunctional application of those things

I have that, I should probably play it sometime

That or a reflection of how bad your mental situation is

The company's reason is "brand protection":

We carefully reviewed the project you shared with us (https://github.com/linuxwacom/wacom-hid-descriptors). While we appreciate the initiative, we found that this is primarily a Wacom-led project, and the potential impact for GAOMON would be quite limited. Even if we added support for our devices, the system would still show the device as a GAOMON model, but the overall setup would display Wacom branding. More importantly, participating would require sharing our device specifications directly with Wacom – which is not something we can consider.

The last part of that reply is very wrong.

The article also has a reply from Peter Hutterer, a "senior software engineer at Red Hat and a maintainer of Linux's core input device handling infrastructure since decades", which is worth reading.

Freeware game and an awesome gem. Great soundtrack, too

Elder Scrolls Skyrim, really niche indie game. Just kidding!

Nikoderiko - really fun platformer that's kind of a mix of Donkey Kong and Crash. Currently on sale on gog (linked) and steam
