Lenval Brown, who voiced the narrator in Disco Elysium, will return for Hopetown and voice a key character.

That man’s voice was amazing in Disco Elysium’s opening:

Well, look at that. The Kiwix offline reader is in Debian already, so getting it couldn’t be more convenient.

Thanks!

Is an archive of their repair manuals available for download? Would you mind sharing the link?

Unfortunately, that doesn’t help, since most DVDs in the world were not manufactured in the first production run.

No, it is not. I just scrutinized half a dozen DVD cases with a magnifying glass. They had copyright dates, but no disc manufacturing dates.

I wonder if the numeric codes printed around the hubs of the discs can be decoded into manufacturing dates.

Thank you for saving me the time it would have taken to check it out. I don’t buy Denuvo games.

How does one find the manufacturing date of the discs?

For those who are unfamiliar with it:

GLONASS (ГЛОНАСС, IPA: [ɡɫɐˈnas]; Russian: Глобальная навигационная спутниковая система, romanized: Global’naya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema, lit. ‘Global Navigation Satellite System’) is a Russian satellite navigation system operating as part of a radionavigation-satellite service.

It’s about money, specifically with a near-term “exit strategy” for investors.

It lets them push the company into choices that will pump up the stock price so that early shareholders can sell their stock and walk away with profits… without any concern over how those choices will impact the company, its employees, its customers, or the new shareholders in the long term.

I won’t shed a tear for Discord, though. They are a parasitic corporation that extracts profit from the world’s online communities by using the network effect to lock our communications and collected knowledge behind their terms of service. No company should have control over so much of humanity’s cultural development and history.

Hey OP, can you edit the link to remove the #comments fragment at the end? The way you submitted it, clicking skips over the article and brings us to the comments section instead.

Have you ever tried to visit a web site and found a Cloudflare error page instead? It might have looked like this:

https://www.webproeducation.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/error-524-cloudflare-233e5a08ce8c4d92843b7a841fa7c015.png

Do you know how they’re able to insert that error page into the response that reaches your browser, even though it’s an https connection and your browser assures you that it’s “secure”?

Clouldflare is able to do this because they are a middle-man between you and the site. They can eavesdrop and/or alter anything sent or received on that connection.

One of the easiest, perhaps. Not best. Anything that gives a single entity control over so much of the internet, and positions them to snoop on so much of everyone’s communications, will never be “best”.

Water treatment, thermal insulation, textile fabrication, pharmaceuticals, air filtration, construction techniques, signal processing… the list goes on.

I wonder what Nintendo’s annual legal budget is, and how much they could expand their market and reduce piracy if they spent half of that on supporting more platforms.

And when Cloudflare is the proxy for a web site, it’s Cloudflare that provides the HTTPS connection, meaning that you don’t actually have an encrypted channel directly to the site. Cloudflare is the man-in-the-middle eavesdropping on all of your communications with that site. Your bank transactions, your medical records, your personal messages, etc.

I’m tired of people saying “technology” when they mean an application of a narrow subfield of technology. Even worse is when they’re not even talking about the tech at all, but instead the practices, leadership, or stock market performance of some corporation that happens to apply some technology in the course of its business.

I do share the sentiment in this article, though. There’s way too much stuff that we don’t need, often making our lives worse, being pushed at us in order to extract wealth or power.

Between this and Skyblivion (video), perhaps I’ll get to play beautiful versions of the older games. Looking forward to it!

I hope they manage to get it complete, and good. Giving Oblivion another try (this time exploring the rest of the world instead of focusing on the boring main quest) has been on my list for a while, and improved graphics would be welcome.

That font, though… not a good choice for quickly delivering information. Mods to the rescue?
