This feels unreal.

The article says they are trying to save money, but wouldn’t exhibiting at Gamescom also work great as an advertisement?

Or are they afraid of some protests due to some things they did recently? Not that I would know what that would be, but just wondering.

“former”

Do people outside of tech care?

On June 6, 2007, a German man tried to jump into Benedict XVI’s uncovered popemobile as the pontiff began his general audience. The pope was not hurt and did not even appear to notice that the man had jumped over the protective barrier in the square and had grabbed onto the white Fiat popemobile as it passed. At least eight security officers were trailing the vehicle as it moved slowly through the square. They subsequently grabbed the man and wrestled him to the ground, before he was interrogated by Vatican police.

In what countries is it illegal?

“works”

Title doesn’t mention that this is only about the US, and not the whole world.

Wait, so forgejo is already federated?

Lol

With PAE, a 32 bit CPU can also use more, but each process is still limited to 4GiB

Does it unpack the archive in-memory? In the newest stable version?

Kerbal Space Program, Derail Valley, Nucleares, …

Some other countries have the decency to add something like “of the USA” to the name. But this being the USA, of course he is just “the” president.

Imagine if twitter some day opens its gates and starts federating with everyone. Then the musk takeover would have actually improved the world. Even though it hurt his purse a lot, but that is also an improvement I believe.

The maintainer is a human that needs to eat every day, and not just whenever their services are needed. So at least, the sum of money would need to be a few times higher than whatever labour the fix takes.

But then, the maintainer’s ability to fix these bugs doesn’t come from nowhere. They worked on this project for likely a long time, which would also need to be taken into account when agreeing on a sum.

Further, this would be business to business. And those contracts often include the value that the client gets out of the software. So if Microsoft makes billions from this open source library, then the maintainer’s - as a business - should receive a payment that reflects this for the fix.

All that implies that a few thousand is not nearly enough. Maybe 100k and the maintainer would budge.

The tweet is from today. The ffmpeg team felt like it needed to be said.

Such a great piece of art displaying one of the many issues with stack overflow.

Arch users are really just cannon fodder against supply chain attacks.
