What is the most unhinged conspiracy theory?
  • They're usually also Biblical literalists, who believe that their infallible God-authored Bible says the Earth is flat ("four corners", covered in a dome, etc), thus the globe is an attack on Christianity. The worldly institutions are all controlled by the devil, who wants Christians to doubt their Bible and their belief in God.

  • Warcraft 2 / Starcraft type games ( or clones, or engine recreations )
  • I would add the 1999 game Warzone 2100 to this list. Much like Earth 2150 you can design your own units and it also has the persistent homebase + mission outposts system. It was open-sourced in 2004 and has received quite a bit of love since then.

  • Selbst Augustiner ist von Glyphosat betroffen. Das macht betroffen.
  • Aber heißt das wirklich "nicht nachgewiesen" oder nur "nicht getestet"?

  • Firefox (finally) enables Wayland by default on their builds
  • Try MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 firefox.

  • That doesn't seem to be true. A lot of German publishers do not allow you to proceed without giving consent to cookies and profiling for targeted advertising. They consider this legal because they offer you the alternative of "opting out" by signing up for a paid subscription.

    U.S. Adult Obesity Rate (2012 vs 2022)
  • That's a tool to help application developers figure out how something looks to color-blind people, so the developers can correct their presentation. It doesn't resolve color ambiguities for color-blind people by itself.

    For example, in the case of the image here, it turns everything into different shades of yellow, with both ends of the color gradient just being "dark yellow". Now it's clearly ambiguous to people with normal vision, as well.

  • Microsoft Edge could use a win
  • When I see the current version of Edge I'm reminded of those bloatware-packed OEM Windows preinstalls adding useless toolbars to Internet Explorer, except this time it's a sidebar.

    I'm disappointed, and when asked by people I recommend replacing Edge. Preferably with Firefox, but even Chrome is better.

  • The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Must Know About Unicode in 2023 (Still No Excuses!)
  • You're actually seeing mouse pointers of other people having the page open. It connects to a websocket endpoint including the page URL and your platform (OS) and sends your current mouse position every second.

  • Burger King faces legal claim saying Whopper is too small
  • How does it compare to what BK calls the Whopper Jr in at least the US and EU?

  • Is it worth switching to BTRFS for the average user?
  • Healing won't work without copies (RAID) available. However, scrubbing regularly can also allow your drive to detect and correct errors before they become irreparable.

  • Only Composite Kids Will Get It
  • Do you have a source for this? AFAICT this is untrue. Mono audio using just the white connector exists, but this depends on configuration and does not make the red connector a difference signal.

  • There's 3000 cars on fire in the North Sea
  • But where will we find a wardrobe big enough to fit the ship through?

  • Linux compatible DVB-S/T/C hardware that works with ubuntu kernels without recompilation
  • I'm using cards from https://www.digital-devices.eu/; a Cine S2 v6.5 from 2015 and a DuoFlex S2 v4 from 2017 for 4 DVB-S2 tuners total. I've found them to be of high quality and the upstream kernel supports them.

    Unfortunately, it seems the modular hardware I'm using is no longer sold. The cheapest currently available product is an expensive 8 tuner card.

  • Cursed Units
  • You can also express the consumption of a BEV (typically in kWh/100km or Wh/km) in Newton (N), which is a unit of force.

  • The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training
  • Try disabling HTTP/3 (network.http.http3.enable).

  • `pkill -9 -f firefox` won't work, what can be a possible explanation?
  • Stuck in kernel code, possibly because they tripped an assert. Even if not, if your distribution enabled hung task detection, the kernel will log backtraces for these processes eventually; by default, after 2 minutes of being stuck.

  • Good open source cold storage crypto wallets?
  • Don't get into crypto. It's only useful for scams and money laundering.

  • Wayland is pretty good, actually
    serebit.com Wayland is pretty good, actually

    I started working on Flyaway with the intention of becoming familiar with Wayland, its protocols and extensions, and the wlroots library. Instead, I ended up genuinely liking all three.

    Why is Freelancer still the best?
  • It's still not a game I would even remotely consider, but is it really bad management if it's insanely profitable?

  • Users Have Had It With Reddit...But Are Powerless
  • I've tried, but Signal is just too cumbersome to use. I sorely miss a web client and my family members sorely miss an Android tablet client. This makes it hard to recommend.
