They will not shit their pants… They will simply raise prices for consumers and small business depending on them.

Actually, you should aim for a lower ISO to avoid noisy picture.

I considered deleting this slop, but you guys having way to much fun in the comments :D

Yes what’s the deal. Because until yesterday I didn’t heard about them.

I don’t even know what it is. Is it a desktop Linux distribution? Is anyone using it at all?

Some rich dudes pushing money into it. That’s all that I know.

How does anyone come to the idea to built a tool to be used in a federated context and hardcode into it which instances are not allowed to be used with it?

However, this is just one person. Maybe the Dev did not expected anyone else to use it and just but the blacklist into it for personal reasons…

Yes… but how do we get this (basic) understanding to millions of people lacking it?

At first I thought it would be a Beetle or something.

I don’t get this… Why do people pre order AAA games? It’s like begging for disappointment.

If the question is really about “can”, than the answer is definitely yes.

If it’s about if you should, than it’s a clear no. Because storing data in a GitHub Project is not the use case. Nothing in the protocols or the platform itself is optimized for that. Also GitHub could just pull the plug of your project if they ever feel that it is against their terms.

I try to add something to the understand.

Especially in old games, the program code (what happens if you press a button, what happen if your health bar goes to zero…) is often handled in the same memory structure as the game data (sprites, your entered player name, you inventory…) If you glitch a function that should edit a memory block of game data (e.g. reduce the players money or rename a Pokémon) to do it’s operation on a program code block instead, you can reprogram the game while you are playing it and even make it a different game.

A different famous example is Super Mario Land. If you glitch trough the level borders the game is displaying all kind of data (game data and program code) as level blocks that you can walk on. Some of those level blocks are distructable, which is setting this memory block to a different value. By carefully destructing the correct blocks, you can change things like how many life’s you have. But if you hit a wrong block, the game will potentially crash because you changed the program code to something that doesn’t make sense.

Apparently, there is even a movie about this joke… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/404_(film)

ok so it’s the classic compfort vs. security… kind of.

Oh boy… now I discovered that Sarah Connor once fall in love with a Kilrathi. The 80s/90s where a interesting time.

Why the heck do we have such a technology in CPUs?

Wouldn’t be so sure about that Heisenberg principle. This Schrödinger’s Cat thing must come from somewhere…

Exactly my stand is, that cat’s don’t differentiate much between play and hunt.

It’s a joyful experience for them (most times), not a stress situation.

Don’t worry she probably not thought about killing you, but was just happy you signalized to play “kill this thing” with her.

I have to ruin the joke but this is not really accurate.

Cat’s are not thinking about “killing” when they have this look. It’s the “play & snack mode” a very positive feeling for the cat. They don’t have the idea that they might hurt or kill another living being in the process.

The real “kill mode” is when having a dispute with other cats (or cat like animals) that they identity not as a snack but as a cat like thing. And this look is much closer to the left picture.

IDK… “average payouts of $460,000-$477,000 per worker this year” no way that the average worker will get half a million dollar a year. So I don’t really understand what this strikes are aiming for.

Agreed, do not use Ubuntu.

But it’s still miles away from Window… and technically you can get closer with a Linux System… e.g. Google Android.
