I don’t think it makes leaks invalid.

Don’t shoot the messenger.

Wikileaks is accused of not releasing information that would be harmful to the reputation of Russia.

a program to ‘cleanse’ ethnic groups of their ‘extremist’ thoughts through re-education and forced labour

“Arbeit macht frei”

The actual winner, Thomas Hicks, was near collapse and hallucinating when he crossed the finish line, a side effect of being administered brandy, raw eggs, and strychnine by his trainers.

why the fuck did they give him strychnine

Thomas Hicks ended up as the winner of the event, although he was aided by various measures that would not have been permitted in later years.[9] Ten miles from the finish, Hicks led the race by a mile and a half, but he had to be restrained from stopping and lying down by his trainers. From then until the end of the race, Hicks received several doses of strychnine (a common rat poison, which stimulates the nervous system in small doses) mixed with brandy and egg white.[2] He continued to battle onwards, hallucinating, and was barely able to walk for most of the course. When he reached the stadium, his support team carried him over the line, holding him in the air while he shuffled his feet as if still running.[6] Hicks had to be carried off the track on a stretcher, and might have died in the stadium had he not been treated by four doctors. He lost eight pounds during the course of the marathon.[6][10]

what the fuck

The kinda shitty part is that everybody is a full time employee but you still get frequent layoffs after projects end. That’s the worst of both worlds, especially in the US where there are basically zero mandatory protections. In places with actual labor regulations it’s… kinda expensive and self-defeating.

Something like 60% of EA employees live outside the U.S.A.

The only platform not yet supported is the Mac Pro, although there probably isn’t much left to do. No, not the “MacBook Pro”, but the “Mac Pro” – the one that looks like a cheese grater and costs thrice as much.

I’ve always wondered what sort of look they were going for.

How did sideloading get its name?

I wish I had a use for that.

they change the names because they suck

well, I don’t think battle.net is the worst launcher

Origin is still bad and so is whatever Ubisoft’s launcher is called.

edit: for the record I didn’t say that steam was the best launcher, but I have found the launchers for world of warships and warthunder to be serviceable

Last year, I pointed out how many big publishers came crawlin’ back to Steam after trying their own things: EA, Activision, Microsoft. This year, for the first time ever, two Blizzard games released on Steam: Overwatch and Diablo 4.

Why is it so hard for companies to build a game launcher that doesn’t suck? Is it just a lowest bidder situation?

CHECK - Yes, an Israeli construction company posted “beach house in Gaza” ads online Advertisements from an Israeli property developer promoting construction plans in Gaza are going viral online. Many people doubt the authenticity of the images. But they are real. The construction company confirms to VRT NWS that it placed the campaign online, but states that it is “satire”.

They should have stopped there.

At the same time, the company reports that it is in favor of the idea.

I really only know enough about hardware to get by. I am working through nand2tetris though.

The last time I was shopping for RAM was in 2020. I think the supply chain was probably all jacked up from COVID.

I paid $55 for 2ea. 8GB sticks. The price now is $24: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FAY0S08/ref=pe_861660_435879970_fxm_4_0_n_id

User is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

Cool. You might check and double check the RAM timings. My machine did not like to run at 1600.

DDR3 was really hard to find the last time I went shopping for RAM.

I bet you can get at least another 5 more years out of that computer.
