You’re correct that most 5 year olds cannot read… However there’s so much you can do without knowing how to read. Plus kids are very good at pressing buttons and can figure stuff out by trial and error.
I wish there were more short triple A titles. Like 10 hours main quest and 30 hours to 100%. Put those massive resources into quality rather than quantity. Give me a memorable experience over a slog.
The show is not high art. No one will be winning an Emmy for acting. It certainly doesn’t warrant the high rating on RT. But it’s entertaining, engaging, visually stimulating and a fantastic adaptation of the games.
If you’re expecting a Last of Us calibre deep dive into society and the human condition coping with an apocalypse, you’ll be disappointed. If you’re expecting a fun romp through the wastelands with body parts gratuitously exploding into red mist, then look no farther!
The path to the April 1 attack started months ago, as aid groups desperately looked for ways to feed millions cut off from regular food deliveries. Gaza was sealed off by Israeli forces within hours of the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants that ignited the war. Since then, more than 33,000 Palestinians have been killed and more...
When the xz backdoor was discovered, I quickly uninstalled my Arch based setup with an infected version of the software and switched to a distro that shipped an older version (5.5 or 5.4 or something). I found an article which said that in 5.6.1-3 the backdoor was “fixed” by just not letting the malware part communicating...

Namecheap supports ddns out of the box too, no additional service required. You just need a cron job that calls their API to update your IP periodically.
I used to swear by two monitors, but switched to a single ultrawide and it’s so much nicer. No bevels in the middle and therefore freedom to set up windows in whatever configuration you like. Good tiling window manager is a must though.
Checked bag not being included seems more fair to me. Previously the light packers were subsidizing the heavy packers, and that’s the wrong way around if we want to encourage lower emissions.
That being said, as someone who places climate change as their top priority, flights getting more expensive is very low on my list of things to be concerned about.

Not afaict… I imagine the profit margins on these things are enormous and they are super easy to manufacture. If anything I think there’s going to be a huge surplus of them.
I recently switched from wireless to wired headphones (Samson SR-850, probably the best for the very reasonable price) and my chair’s wheels instantly started eating its cable. Right now I’m using a small plastic hook that came with a face mask to keep it off the floor, but I’d like to hear other solutions.
I switched from wired to wireless because my chair kept eating the cable.
But maybe try getting a longer cable or extension cable and plugging it into the back of the computer and running it up behind the desk and across the top.
In theory it could be a good thing. In practice hospitals will lay off a bunch of nurses to save cost, the system will be just as overloaded as ever, except now you talk to cold unfeeling machines instead.
In the rapid release model there are no updates bigger than the regularly scheduled releases. So each regularly scheduled release needs to bump the biggest version number. Otherwise the biggest number would never change and there would also be fewer ways to distinguish smaller releases.
True, but one problem would be that every release would break something as there are just so many changes in each. On this scale SemVer doesn’t work that well. It also doesn’t really tell you anything about the significance of changes (trivial changes can cause major bumps, or huge new features can be fully backwards compatible).
Dates could work. Though Firefox 2024.03 just doesn’t have the same ring to it :p. And they also don’t say anything about significance.
Yeah it could work too. Like you said though it’s subjective and internal arguments about what deserves to be big or not sounds tiring :p. For marketing large changes, inventing a buzzword seems to be working well enough.
I guess to each their own, but I kind of like not knowing the version. I just use Firefox and if I really care what’s new I can look at the changelog, or see it in the what’s new pop-up.
