I thought her husband took a lot of the credit at the time. Might be mistaken about that though.

Could also add Marie Curie in there. I didn’t realise until recently that there is a lot of controversy over France “claiming her achievements” since she was born and educated in Poland.

I have a gentoo desktop but for a convenient middle ground just put Debian on my laptop. It’s stable, things just work out of the box, maintainers/devs are competent, they haven’t drunk the snap/flatpack kool-aid…

Switching to Testing is always an option but I’ve not found the need to do that yet when I can install programs from a deb package or just compile from source and install it in ~/.bin in my home directory.

In my opinion it’s because in the past human beings needed to be constantly working or assisting with a group in some capacity in order to ensure mutual survival for the group. Let’s say a village.

Activity which is not seen as being productive or could be construed as lazy has a stigma around it because it casts doubt on your ability to contribute to society.

Obviously none of this applies in the same way these days but there is a kind of primal conflation of intoxicants and laziness. Laziness is bad and so consuming intoxicants turns into a moral issue.

These attitudes are very deeply ingrained and although they can shift a bit as people become more liberal the deep suspicion remains.

DF is reporting some serious frame rate issues. Similar to the Links Awakening rerelease.

Java class names look like German compound nouns though

I believe if the instance is still up then it will still work up until a daily limit is reached. Most of them appear to be broken because the limit is fairly low.

I think this would be less surprising if we didn’t imagine LGBTQ people were one homogeneous block of political beliefs and opinions. Some of my most right-wing friends are gay.

If you ever try it again just go for ubuntu. That distro hides a lot of the complexity from the user.

It’s a case of voting with your wallet for most people. There are degrees of DRM that people are willing to put up with; where some people would rather go for DRM-free games on GOG, others are happy with one launcher like Steam and some others will accept each game launching its own launcher from within a meta launcher/store front.

To be honest it’s a matter of personal preference and I try to be in the 2nd group but I don’t mind what other people do. Again, personally, I dislike the idea of being apathetically brow beaten into signing up for dozens of services for the convenience of companies which provide no utility to me. Sometimes these launchers actively harm the experience by disabling steam launch options or bricking the game completely if you don’t live in the right country.

Steam runtime includes a lot of common static libraries that most games expect to be there. This means that older games will still work even though the wider OS might not have 32bit libs present.

Extremely bare bones playthrough would be just doing Yakuza 0 and then 7. Those would give you an overview of the two main gameplay styles the series has to offer.

If you want to play more then you probably want to finish the brawler games first before moving on to 8 since it has spoilers for the whole series.

The Judgement games are also good so you might want to try the first of those to see if you like it. Story is completely isolated from the Yakuza games though so I’d investigate this at your leisure.

Those quotes are heinous and I agree he sounds like a piece of shit. It’s also true that the book he wrote is worth reading.

I still read HP Lovecraft too even though he was an irredeemable racist POS.

First time hearing this and at face value he sounds like an asshole but I don’t see how it’s relevant to free software. The book itself is a classic which is still worth reading.

FOSS attracts a lot of strong personalities. Stallman is a weirdo but everyone still uses GCC and I’m still personally using emacs.

Tech debt is like a hole in your roof that many teams don’t start trying to fix until water is flooding in. Companies missing the business value in addressing tech debt leads to perverse incentives for developers where they are encouraged to cram new features into the product and then leave for another job in 2-3 years before the consequences come knocking.

I agree with this. Communist like systems where there is central control of resources encourages corruption as people vie to get closer to the central control of the resources. Capitalism is just more honest about the fact that many people - not all of them - are fundamentally self-interested and entices them into cooperation with others by offering the carrot of individual rewards. Those are probably the same people that would try to exploit the system if it were more centrally controlled.

I remember looking at charity jobs when I was graduating with my humanities degree before I got into tech. Revealingly, the alumi I was speaking to who worked in the sector said something like, “At it’s core you need to remember that working for a charity is essentially a sales job.”

Made me nope tf out of there lol.

Detailed preview! I’m a certified Atlus fanboy so this will be a day 1 purchase for me. I actually stopped reading this halfway through because it was giving me too much info about the story and first few levels.

The business model for games like this is entirely geared towards whales which is why almost everyone in online comments seem to hate them but studios keep making them. I really don’t understand why all of them aren’t F2P given that model though.
