From nbcnews…

The [tech] guild says it has been fighting for a contract to secure better wages, hours, benefits and job security, as well as foster diversity, equity and inclusion among the organization’s workforce.

The guild has accused Times management of not bargaining in good faith and making inflammatory decisions, like firing employees without just cause and limiting bargaining time in an effort to delay an agreement.

Easy Anti Cheat - requires manual removal

Wait, so this sketchy, privacy-invading stuff remains even after a game is uninstalled?! I had no idea.

How is this stuff not classed as malware at this point?

What a shame. He was a good man

C++: Nuh, uh ...

template <typename T>
concept Crackable = requires(T obj) {
    { obj.crack() };
};

auto crack(Crackable auto& nut) {
    nut.crack();
}

Has “laying off staff to focus on AI “ become a common euphemism for “we hired too many people”?

Haha. There’s no Wayland support… yet. Check out gpu-screen-recorder for a very similar project with Wayland support

Thank you for your kind words!

I haven’t made the jump to Wayland yet. I basically live in the terminal (when I’m not playing games!) so haven’t been in any rush. I definitely want to support Wayland going forward because it seems everyone has switched but me!

That means cryptographic keys under one government’s control could be used to intercept HTTPS communication

Could someone smarter than me explain how this would be possible? Wouldn’t the browser still be able to enforce privacy between the client and origin? Or is it the case that certificates issued by these CAs could in theory only support weaker cyphers?

Edit: Some really useful explanations. Thank you!

There’s a PC game called Ctrl Alt Ego (Steam link) where you play as a disembodied conscience that can project itself into - and control - different entities in the game.

When your current host is destroyed you just become disembodied again and can project yourself into another nearby entity (even the enemy that destroyed your host, in some circumstances). It’s quite a unique concept and almost completely removes the need to quick save/quick load.

If you’re into Immersive Sim games then I would highly recommend it - Stands alongside Prey and System Shock 2 IMO.

I’ve often wondered if nvidia are constantly assessing the engineering work required to maintain Linux drivers for their commercial GPUs, and now I’m wondering if they’re adding telemetry to provide data for this decision.

I’m gonna be that person… I rarely, if ever have issues with nvidia on Linux. Used several 30xx series cards for gaming over the last couple of years and it’s been a great experience.

Is it my distro (Void)?. is it because I’m happy staying on X11? Is it just luck? Interested to hear people’s gripes
