Frieren: Journey’s End

Definitely one of the best animes I’ve seen in years. Follows a near immortal elf retracing the steps of her previous journey to defeat the demon king, decades later.

I would start with making scripts to reproduce your current customizations on a fresh install, personally.

No way this lasts or holds up to basic scrutiny. End to end encryption is a de-facto standard for so fucking much technology.

Like fucking HTTPS.

Then the current companies buying it will just buy more. So far there isn’t significant movement in the space to try and do more with less, and the current strategy is to just keep throwing more resources at it.

I’m not sure there’s a point where production could eclipse corporate orders with the current path things appear to be on.

They’re designed for the seat to be sat on. It’s not so much the weight, but where it is, like you said. Not even the properties of the surface you’d be standing on, but that it’s the part not over anything. It’ll cause some rotation-y force the toilet isn’t designed to handle.

If you have a ruler that’s half on a table and half hanging off, it doesn’t matter if you put an empty cup or a cup full of water on the side that’s on the table, it isn’t likely to fall. Likewise, if you put an empty or full cup on the end hanging off the table, the ruler will fall.

Is it not leather? It looks extra shiny, but it looks pretty distinctly like brown leather.

Does anyone know of any place to keep up with what people are doing with the XP leak? I vaguely remember some 4chan threads where people worked to get it compiling properly, and I think someone ported USB 3.0 support, but I lost track after that.

Decade and a half ago I torrented all the time and didn’t get caught until I stupidly downloaded something from the top 100 torrents on pirate bay.

Not sure how safe torrents are now.

Never have had any issues with direct downloads and streaming. Just use your head, adblock, and virus scan your downloads (knowing that keygens or cracked exes may show as viruses).

For safest option and free: Use an up to date web browser with a good adblocker (ublock origin is the current best), stick to direct downloads using a download manager to manage the 12+ parts, and virus scan everything that you download. Download from trusted sites from the megathread. Direct download is generally safe, unless you live in one of the few countries cracking down on fitgirl repacks specifically. Then that site is off limits for you.

You can use torrents without a VPN, it’s just not safe. You could be caught and the penalty will vary based off of what you’re downloading, where you live, and who you use for an ISP.

Then call out the bullshit, don’t just call the whole thing bullshit with nothing to back it up. That just makes you look like a cynical asshat.

Well, what are you doing about it?

What part did you miss about “off grid”?

More than 15 years ago I ended up with one of those in a C++ program.

I’m sure the real ssue was somewhere else in the code, but if I removed one specific comment (or maybe it was a print to console, it was forever ago) it would segfault, otherwise it ran fine.

As others have said, I guarantee there are movements and organzing happening in your area.

Don’t be the person shouting that others aren’t doing enough when you aren’t doing more than complain online.

Use this energy. It’s kind of hilarious that you’re complaining about how people are fighting amongst themselves while you’re doing it too.

Some people have to focus on survival, and don’t have the energy to do more. That’s by design. Intentional design by those in power. So if you have that energy, go do for them. Work with unions and local lawmakers to improve conditions for the people living paycheck to paycheck instead of trying to shame them into just magically having more energy after ensuring they’ll be able to eat and have a place to stay.

It’s only a thing if you leave smartscreen on. Think it might also only apply to stuff downloaded through Edge, but don’t quote me on that.

Depends on the program. I’ve got a handful of that old on CDs that still install fine. Checked when I was backing them up to ISO. There’s little bits of weirdness and unintended behavior while running them now, but they still install and run to a fairly acceptable degree.

That experience varies wildly though. Wine tends to handle things better and more consistently.

If you’re not active on the comms on awful.systems, I think you’d like it. Most users are aware of Yarvin etc.

The change to “Microsoft 365” has been the case for years now. I had hoped the context made it clear that this was regarding the claim they had changed the name to Copilot.

Edit: Since there’s nothing that goes together quite like Linux enthusiasts and pedanticness, here’s a correction-

Microsoft split off a subscription based version of their Office suite of programs a number of years ago, calling it Microsoft Office 365. They maintained more standard non-subscription versions for a few years alongside 365, while very clearly trying to push people to the subscription model.

After that, they stopped releasing new standard versions, leaving Microsoft Office 365 (the subscription) as the only option for ongoing support.

After that after that, they renamed Microsoft Office 365 to just Microsoft 365, although the Office branding/tagline/wording is still present in a number of places (just not on office.com itself, apparently).

One of the 365 license options allows for access to only the webapp versions of the suite instead of the native program versions. Apparently they offered a “Microsoft Office App” specifically for users on this license that would simply link to the webapp versions of the suite.

This “Microsoft Office App” that served as a link to the webapps is what has been renamed to Copilot whatever the fuck, not the suite of webapps and native programs themselves. That remains named Microsoft (Office) 365.

Microsoft’s original and horribly misleading blog post that started this shit here.

The Verge’s article laying things out more clearly and featuring direct statements from an M$ exec to The Verge trying to clarify things here.

I sure hope that’s true, but I’ve seen more companies switch to lower cost licenses with restrictions like only being able to use the webapp than I have seen switch to LibreOffice.

As long as Microsoft keeps offering ways to easily disable the shit nobody asked for in corporare environments/deployments I’m afraid the stranglehold will persist.

Nothing “half right” about it, but thanks for the pedanticness I guess.

That was horrendously misleading clickbait.

The changed the name of some stupid as shit “app” that only exists to open links to the Office programs on the web as webapps, which was apparently called “Microsoft Office App”. They did not change the name of Microsoft Office.

Simultaneously not as bad, but even dumber.
