Oh no! What does that mean for using Wine to play games? From what I understand a lot of Windows games (especially older ones) require 32-bit Wine, which requires 32-bit libs (which I assume requires 32-bit Kernel support). It's the sole reason I run 64- and 32-bit multilib on my Arch box: playing Windows games.

They didn't inherit it. They chose it. If you choose to build on something, you should support it, and support it well.

I searched that PDF for family/families and found nothing, but I did find that you are actually even more correct. Most of that report is about accredited investors. Less than 5% of non-accredited investors own private securities. So, it's actually quite rare.

That said, to answer your question, you could own Flock stock. Private companies often offer stock to employees and others.

> Flock isn't publicly traded. How could I own stock in it?

Not all stock is publicly traded. I own stock that you can't buy on the exchange. It's quite common actually.

> Time to boycott Sony, they deserve no money from anyone, and I meant anyone.

Because when they installed rootkits on user's machines wasn't that time?

Because when they removed content users purchased from their machines wasn't that time?

Because when they spy on what users watch on their TVs in the privacy of their home wasn't that time?

Sony is like a tree. The best time to boycott Sony was decades ago. The second best time is today.

> The Kingdom Come: Deliverance games from Warhorse Studios and the Witcher franchise from CD Projekt Red (both Polish)

Warhorse Studios is Czech; Slavs are not all alike.

I prefer a world where we have to live with zlib, lz4, and xz but have less genocide. I get that I didn't get a vote in which world we have, but I do have an opinion. And you do, too.

Extraordinary claims should come with extraordinary evidence. Also, as a layman outside their system, how can you verify this?

Do you have data? Because I don't know how to see their algorithm ranking objectively enough to verify.

It's pretty easy. You can opt into any ligature you like across every mode, and then add extra ones for each programming mode or other mode. For example:

  (use-package ligature
    :ensure t
    :config
    ;; Enable specific ligatures globally across all modes:
    (ligature-set-ligatures 't '("==" "===" "!=" "->" "-->" "=>" "=="))
  
    ;; Enable individual ligatures only for specific programming modes:
    (ligature-set-ligatures '(python-mode rust-mode c-mode)
                            '("||" "&&" "::" "->" "=>" "!="))

    ;; Enable ligatures only for HTML / XML:
    (ligature-set-ligatures '(html-mode nxml-mode web-mode)
                            '("<!--" "-->" "</" "/>"))

    ;; Enable global ligature mode
    (global-ligature-mode t))

Mostly codepoint coverage.

> Wish code editors would support different fonts per semantic region

They absolutely do. In Emacs I use different faces for comments, tables in literate sections, and code blocks. I use the same font for all those faces, but different attributes (size, weight, etc).

I also have configured different fonts for different unicode code points, so that when I include Cyrillic or Japanese text I can use a font with better code point coverage that my preferred fonts.

It always astounds me how unconfigurable most editors are.

> You have the same risk and not really ownership.

You don't, though. When I download a game on Steam or GOG, I have the files on my PC. I can back them up. I can modify them.

Yes, live service games still have an online component I don't control, but I do still control the files on my computer. I don't on a console.

Actually, I don't own any consoles for reasons of software freedom but I hear they are much more difficult to do things like back up your data, etc.

Did you read your [2] citation? While the 6th court denied immunity, they tried to claim a different immunity. Upon appeal to the Supreme Court, the SC said you settle it without immunity first, the 6th court did not take that advice. Sounds like they used a different law.

I am not familiar with the case, but from my reading IJ is still trying to fight the immunity.

> Instead, the high court asked the Sixth Circuit to decide the issue first. Rather than seriously engaging with the issue, as the Supreme Court asked, the Sixth Circuit unthinkingly applied outdated caselaw, becoming the sixth federal appeals court to do so. Now, IJ is asking the Supreme Court to weigh in and deny the government one of its many tools to avoid the Constitution

Don't dodge the question and attack the asker, that's rude.

The best way is to change our communities, even if that takes time and money.

I agree. I do wish they would use replaceable batteries outside the EU, where they are mandated, though.

Even if that were true, Nintendo is better than most companies, which will use deceptive practices wherever they are allowed, even if they have to pay to maintain multiple systems and configurations.

So, most C++ code I have seen in my forty years of coding.

If I am unable to play Minecraft any longer because I have to buy a shit ass XBOX, I will never buy another piece of software (or hardware) from them. My $5 in 2009 came with a guarantee I would have access (and free updates) to Minecraft forever. Microsoft not honoring that agreement, which they said they would, is a step too far. I already signed up for a shit ass Microsoft account to keep access, and I said to myself that was the last hoop I would jump through.

Can you share more information? I just looked at their Wikipedia entry and they spent 2018- basically doing acquisitions. What were they layoffs you were thinking of? It's hard to find historical data from 2016. And what's their new focus? It looks like they still have the same huge roster of apps.

My gaming machine is isolated and well protected through firewalls in and out. I don't store any sensitive information like payment information on them. Why can't I choose when to update them? Let me use my thread model to keep myself secure. Respect my time. Let me manually update when I want.

> I check for game and system updates on my Deck before and after a session and it just takes a few minutes at most.

Right, that makes sense if you have sessions often. But, the thread started with automatic updates being bad for occasional users because they either have to waste energy keeping the machine on all the time to get updates in the background or have their mood cooled when they want to play but are forced to wait 30 minutes for updates.

Personally, I use Steam often but even then I get annoyed at updates. If I quit Steam, I sometimes have to wait for it to download Steam updates. Sure, it's not 30 minutes, but they happen when I want to play. I keep Steam open on my always-on machine and it annoys me. There's a reason I run manual updates on my computer on Fridays... then I don't get interrupted. Apps that auto update suuuck if you value your time.

It's also why I always opt for 2FA that's within my control: a security key, TOTP, or an email address on a domain I own. That last one is the weakest, since I own the domain as long the registrar says I do but it's better than a corporation I can't get support from if my email account is locked for any reason.

> If those Amazon trucks are all full, and are making deliveries constantly along their routes, than more trucks doesn't mean less efficiency.

Right but a truck could be full of not 100 packages for 100 houses, but 100 packages for 70 houses. Both are full, but one will require fewer miles driven, hence be more (fuel/environmental impact) efficient (not necessarily time efficient).

Only because stores that have large parking lots are in cheap land areas that are hard to reach by bus, bike, or anything except a car really. Where one can comfortably walk to a store, giant parking lots are awful.

Do most American's have an Amazon delivery every other day? It's not what it feels like where I live, but I might live in a part of the country unusually avoiding Amazon. While I see an Amazon truck every day, they visit 1-2 houses around me out of hundreds.

If feels like there are Amazon households that get a delivery every or every other day and non-Amazon households that order 1-5 times a year (if that) and batch their purchases from other retailers (physical or online). That's the genius of Amazon. Those that use them, use them a lot.

I agree the ship has sailed but I have no desire to make it easier for people to spam me or social engineer any of my accounts. If they want to send some crypto to some stangers on the internet to do it, I can't stop that, but I am not going to hand the info to them on a silver platter.

I am glad you want the world to know your phone number, but not everyone does.

Since we still use SMS as second factors (or primary, as some in this thread said they don't write down passwords but just use password reset links to login), it's not the best security hygiene

And if you use an untrusted sync like Google Drive, you can enable a keyfile and never let that file lane on Google Drive.
