Had issues like that from time to time, when graphics drivers got borked during the update/did not exist for the new kernel.

solution was allways to either remove the drivers and reinstall them or rollback to an earlier snapshot and wait a week.

what is a hero shooter and what makes it overwatch-style?

I’d think tf2 would be one.

It was written as part of my work.

check your contract, you might not own the code and your organization may have a process to determine how to license something.

to your other questions (IANAL)

1. prior work wont be licensed, meaning no one but the owner of the work is allowed to do anything with versions prior to the license
2. you don’t have to, but i can’t see a reason why you should not.
3. GPL might mean that other work depending on gpl licensed code has to be licensed in a gpl compatible way, depending on how exactly you depend on it and how you distribute your dependencies. MIT/BSD is easier here, if you don’t plan to license everything with the GPL anyway.

no, the solution is not to pay someone to have someone to blame if shit happens.

there are a bus load of people involved on the way from a git repo to actuall stuff running on a machine and everyone in that chain is responsible to have an eye on what stuff they are building/packaging/installing/running and if something seems off, it’s their responsibility to investigate and communicate with each other.

attacks like this will not be solved by paying someone to read source code, because the code in the repo might not be what is going to run on a machine or might look absolutely fine in a vacuum or will be altered by some other part in the chain. and even if you have dedicated code readers, you cant be sure that they are not compromised or that their findings will reach the people running/packaging/depending on the software.

i can’t see how paying someone would have changed anything in this scenario.

this seems to be a long running campaign to get someone into a position where they could introduce malicious code. the only thing different would have been that the bad actor would have been paid by someone.

this is not to say, that people working on foss should not be paid. if anything we need more people actively reviewing code and release artifacts even if they are not a contributor or maintainer of a piece of software.

And no, I have not tested it because I don’t know how I’m actually supposed to do that.

depends on what you backup and how.

if it’s just “dumb” files (videos, music pictures etc.), just retrieve them from your backups and check if you can open the files.

complex stuff? probably try to rebuild the complex stuff from a backup and check if it works as expected and is in the state you expect it to be in. how to do that really depends on the complex stuff.

i’d guess for most people it’s enough to make sure to backup dumb files and configurations, so they can rebuild their stuff rather than being able to restore a complex system in exactly the same state it was in before bad things happened.

when they released they were real time with pause, like the old baldurs gate games.

they added a turn based mode though, in a later patch.

maybe the pathfinder games by owlcat. the pathfinder rules they use are very very simmiliar to d&d 3.5 so, should feel familiar if you enjoyed neverwinter.

they are not super hardware hungry and run without a problem through proton/wine.

i think it was during Swens acceptance speech at the video game awards where he thanked the amazing people at hasbro/wotc who helped to make bg3 a reality only to say how strange/sad it is that almost no one from the first meetings is still at the company in his next sentence.

not a native speaker, so what does “sparkling” entail here?

i only know the word when talking about fizzy water, jewelery or twillight vampires :D

and would you say tlu is anime?

it was animated by japanese people in japan after all.

i guess that depends on how pedantic we want to be.

the last unicorn was animated by a japanese company, but written and directed by us americans. original voice performance was also done by non japanese people.

so if we say that a anime has to be a animated movie made by japanese people, then no, the last unicorn is not a anime.

if we say a anime is a animated movie where japanese people were responsible for the animation then yes, the last unicorn is a anime.

if we say anime is a genre descriptor and not a geographical label i wonder if avatar the last airbender or the castlevania animated series are anime and how ghost in the shell and my neighbor totoro both fit in their.

multi-player. BG3 allows you to play the entire game with up to 4 people.

it’s intrusive anti-cheat-software operating on a system level where it could be a viable attack vector. thats what sucks.

what also sucks: this will make one of the most played games in existence unplayable on linux. and only so riot looks like taking a problem serious, that is probably much smaller than people think.

other than that: mobas absolutely require mechanical skills, that cheats could assist you with. there impact might not be as obvious as an incredible high hesdshot rate, but being able to consistently last hit creeps will give an ever increasing advantage over your opponent, canceling certain animations will increase the damge you are able to dish out over a given time frame and seeing the trajectory projectiles will follow makes them easier to dodge.

hell just supplying more information than the standard ui can be a huge advantage: knowing what your opponets buy, or invest there leve ups in all the time, displaying their cooldowns and stuff like that.

Does progressive muscle relaxation count as meditation?

If so: yes, but not as a constant part of my daily routine, more like something i start using again during stressful times or if i find myself rummaging through negative thoughts a lot.

This is why i listen to audiobooks or radio plays to fall asleep to.

They are engaging enough to stop the noise but i can still fall asleep listening.

Works good for me, atleast most of the time*.

*Damn you Will Patton for reading Stephen King novells in such a gripping way, you are banned from bedtime listening!

Oh, that will be a sad day.

I think i saw almost all of his stuff and while the quality of the movies spans the entire specturm Cages performance is allways atleast fun. I really enjoy watching him on the screen.

It’s absent in the biologist sure, she is driven by curiosity, and the loss of her partner.

But the Director? She saw numerous highly skilled people enter the are without returning, but still thought she could somehow make a difference and ultimately understand what area x is.

Lowry still thinks it’s something he could, and only him could deal with, so he keeps messing with the missions and has everyone brainwashed.

Control atleast starts out thinking he has the reigns in hand, but he atleast begins to understand how ununderstandable the situation is to him.

But to be honest, i found it really hard to get anything from the books where i could say: “yeah, that’s definitely something this is about” it has many themes and layers and it’s just so thoroughly weird that i am not really sure about anything i experienced reading it.

Been a while since i read the southern reach trillogy, but i guess the biggest theme for me was human hubris, to think that we are actually in control and understand this huge world we live in.

Other than that, it’s also a damn beautiful horror trip.

Fyi: Libre Office is the actively developed Open Office fork.

Don’t know how it stacks up to MS Office though.

Most clients are web browsers and support for torrents in http is the same as for every other file.

So that would only give us a use for torrents as a form of content distribution plattform to get the actual files closer to the client.

In cases where we have actual non browser clients: i like to curate what i am distributing and don’t want to distribute anything i happen stumble upon or would you be willing to store and more importantly share everything you find on 4chan or that might show up in your mastodon feed?
