Trust me, those Sennheisers will benefit from an amp. I thought the same thing about my HD 650s before I heard them with an amp in the audio chain.
Seriously, it feels like 1999 internet. And I’m loving it!

Lots of those in C# now, especially with Unity coming along like it did.

I want to scream into a pillow and forcefully revert their commit.
I’ve actually done it a few times, but I want to do it every time.
It is an absolutely fantastic (and bizarre) game with an addictive game loop. It reminds me of Stardew Valley in that you can just play it and chill, it’s one of those kinds of games; you won’t be super challenged while playing it, but that’s OK, it’s not that type of game. It has a basic storyline, good humor, and the mechanics of the game also expand quite a bit as compared to the beginning of it. I’ve told multiple people “Don’t look up reviews or videos, just buy this blind/sight-unseen and play it.” and there hasn’t been a single person that hasn’t enjoyed the shit out of it. I’d buy it again for twice the asking price. It’s just fun.
So yeah, 10000% recommend.
Unlawful harvesting of jellyfish? Dave the Diver.
CBOE will create options for it pretty soon after IPO, probably that week or the next. You’ll definitely be able to buy puts on it before you’ll be allowed to short sell it.
They really don’t, though. Inclusion/exclusion operators work most of the time, but it’ll still return results with explicitly-excluded keywords. It also fucks up results by returning entries with similar words to your query, even when you double-quote a part of the search term. Advanced queries that use booleans and logical AND/OR don’t work at all anymore, that functionality has been completely removed. It returns what it thinks you want, not what you actually want, even when explicitly crafting a query to be as specific as possible.
I use Kagi for search now and it’s 1000x better, especially when researching technical issues; it’s like when Google actually respected your search terms and query as a whole.
The fact that Firefox isn’t listed as a browser alternative but Brave is throws any credibility that this article might have straight into the garbage.
Suggesting Brave anything throws its credibility into the shitter, much less multiple times in multiple categories.
BTW, any authenticator app works when it tells you to use one. They all use a standard, so it doesn’t matter which one you use.
Eh, it’s a little more nuanced than that, there’re more standards for MFA code generation than just TOTP.
And even within the TOTP standard, there are options to adjust the code generation (timing, hash algorithm, # of characters in the generated code, etc.) that not all clients are going to support or will be user-configureable. Blizzard’s Battle.net MFA is a good example of that.
If the code is just your basic 6-digit HMAC/SHA1 30-second code, yeah, odds are almost 100% that your client of choice will support it, but anything other than that I wouldn’t automatically assume that it’s going to work.
The tipping point for me was getting a sitewide ban for commenting “It’s always OK to punch a Nazi.”
If I go to sleep at that point, I’m out. Done. I’m sleeping through the alarms or turning them off in my sleep, and that’s a guarantee. No waking me up unless someone is physically dragging my ass out of bed, and that’s still just a maybe.
really wish Linux would could up something similar.
I mean, it kinda already exists. Just run it in a Docker container and remap the users in the container to non-existent uids/gids on the host.
If Linux was dominant it wouldn’t be Linux. There would be more pressure to monetize and there would always be someone willing to sell out for that money. You can see this even in the Linux community today. I’m sorry I had to be so negative about it though, it sounds nice.
This is a very Desktop/workstation-centric view of the situation and you’re completely neglecting 3/4ths of the story. Linux is already hilariously dominant on the on-prem server and Cloud side of things. Like, it’s not even close. Pretty much any website you visit, the odds are overwhelming that it’s running Linux. Even Microsoft runs most of the underlying infrastructure for Azure and Github on Linux. Android is the #1 mobile phone platform in the world, which runs on, you guessed it, Linux.
And it’s already monetized to the gills. Red Hat has multi-billion earnings per quarter, every quarter, and Canonical is almost certainly going to IPO this year.
It’s already dominant in pretty much every space it touches and it has been for a very long time. Desktop/workstation is pretty much the singular exception to that.
The only answer is Ublock Origin.
Aside from that, you can do adblocking for your entire network and everything on it via Pi-hole. It requires no modification for the devices on your network and will work for literally any device connected to it.
If you combine those two, the odds of seeing any ad anywhere isn’t zero, but it is close enough to zero to effectively be zero.

I wonder when there will be a Windows client for KDE Connect.
I have tinnitus with two different frequencies constantly blaring in my ears from target shooting and loud concerts sans ear protection.
You’ll be able to tell the difference in a quality pair of headphones, trust me.
