That was a really great talk, thank you. There were a few things in there I hadn’t even considered.

a list of hardcoded strings

Violating a core programming tenet right off the bat. I wonder how much money Activision payed for this software…

Calendar as plaintext is cursed.

This headline is terrible. Why would they quote the weird metaphor instead of paraphrasing what it actually means in context?

They took “f*** the police” too literally.

That kernel level anti-cheat is really working out well, eh?

How such generic features are even awarded patents is beyond me. None of these are even remotely exclusive to Pokemon or Palworld.

EDIT The grossest thing about this is that these patents were all filed this year, meaning they were filed with the exclusive intention of building a case against Palworld. There really is no level to which Nintendo won’t stoop.

I have this issue too, and I figured out a workaround. Deleting the files manually via rm frees up space. Deleting files via qBittorrent via UI or automatically does not.

Turns out the files were just being moved to a “.Trash-UID” (where UID is the UID of the container) folder in the /downloads directory (or wherever that folder is mapped to on your host). Clearing that out freed up the space.

I suspect this is a bug where the “Delete files permanently” setting is not being respected. You might want to set up a cron job to delete that folder periodically in the meantime.

Petulant narcissist answers criticism with threats of violence.

Now that Google isn’t allowed to pay them default search engine money, I think this was expected.

Ideologically I think it’s a good thing the US government is challenging Google’s monopolistic practices. Unfortunately, that money was a massive percentage of Mozilla’s income.

It really was short-sighted of them to put so many eggs into one basket.

I’m sure he’ll manage to destroy himself regardless.

Neat! I should dust it off again. 🐧

Nice try, HR.

Generating good reports is a surprisingly portable skill across most white-collar jobs.

Executives especially love pretty graphs that give them a good sense of how things are working/performing.

Every time I think I understand a household appliance, Technology Connections has a 20-60 minute explaining why it’s more complicated than I thought.

It’s the closest thing to a “perfect” game I can think of. Every new iteration is just fancy bells and whistles on the same perfect core.

The ultimate LAN flex.

What value would this information have? You might get an approximate age estimate?

It’s crazy how much the 10 series can do if you don’t mind 1080p low-med settings. It really was a great value.
