the problem is that the way version numbers are handled now, it's more like 1.MAJOR.MINOR, with no real definition of what counts as a "minor" update, so it's hard to tell which versions are compatible. i feel like this problem would mostly go away if they either added another number to the version to signify patches, or actually used semver properly (they could mix these approaches to do something similar to java, so the next version would be 22.0.0)

i feel like this whole version debacle is only gonna get worse because microsoft is planning to move to a "content drop" model, with smaller more frequent updates, which means even more pressure on the "patch" version. so unless their update model or versioning systen changes, we'll probably be playing 1.21.37 in a couple of years, and good luck figuring out which of those versions are actually compatible

i wonder how these numbers change if you weight by active players. like sure, Shooty Guns 2 (2008) running on linux is a good thing, but if it has a grand total of 5 people in the world playing it, it won't really do much for linux adoption as long as games like league of legends, apex legends and fortnite still don't work

(for the record i don't play any of those games and i've been happily daily-driving linux with no windows intervention for the last 4 year)

if it's any consolation, native danish speakers don't think about it like this, you just kinda memorize what each multiple of 10 is called. although the etymology does appear a little when using ordinals, e.g. 72nd in danish is tooghalvfjerdsindstyvende (two and half four twenties), but i think most young people would just say tooghalvfjerdsende (72 + ordinal suffix)

that's basically just co2, since (iirc) the panic from not being able to breathe comes from high co2 levels the blood, rather than low oxygen levels in the blood. this is also why simple asphyxiants like nitrogen gas are still very dangerous, because you might not notice that you're not getting any oxygen, especially since your ability to think is probably also impaired because of said low oxygen.

so if you wanna make yourself anxious for funsies, then you can just breathe a bunch of co2 (but also don't because you might die, and even if you don't, elevated co2 levels are still pretty bad for you)

kling is the creator/head of the ladybird browser. dhh is the creator of ruby on rails, but he's now working on omarchy, which is basically just a collection of dotfiles for arch but people love for some reaso (personal rant).

the reason that their views are important is because a lot of tech companies, even ones that were previously reputable like framework, have been pouring a lot of money into these. this is especially relevant for omarchy, since afaik dhh is the only person working on it, making donations to omarchy basically be direct donations to dhh himself.

while kling has done some questionable things, dhh is basically just a straight up fascist, which really puts the principles of the companies giving money and promotion to him (like framework) into question

i think the argument here is more that saying "you can use this however you like, no questions asked" is a bad idea because it allows corporations to approriate the work

can't wait to see the pandemic of psychosis and probably early dementia this will lead to!

these boycotts are mainly about avoiding buying from these companies, not working at them.

if you do wanna help though, you can try to waste as much of their money as possible, for example by slacking off or giving customers extra food (of course if this is your only means of living not getting fired should come first)

HIS NAME IS METROID!!!!!

looks like estradiol, which is commonly used in feminizing hrt

they actually changed that back in 2022. previously, you had to fight a knight blessed by the gods so that no man could harm him, so you would have to change your character to a woman in order to harm him. however they changed it so now no blade can harm him, and the player is given four different weapons, where one of them is a warhammer, allowing him to be defeated (since it doesn't have a blade)

because you need to actively think about and suffer through every single measure as punishment for you mistakes
