The networking part of Nvidia (based on Infiniband) was originally an Israeli company called Mellanox. They probably already have a large footprint there.

Traditionally virtual tty 1 through 6 were text terminal. So X used the 7th, that's why some older forums tells you to go there.

Nowadays, the graphical session manager will spawn on vtty 1, and sessions will dynamically use the others. So on a mostly single user computer, Ctrl+alt+F2 is likely to work. With multiple users, you can actually switch users or come back to the session manager this way.

If you switch to an unused vtty, systemd will spawn a text login prompt. And when you login, some logind dark magic makes the system realize your are entitled to hear the audio output of your application still running on your graphical session.

Valheim uses proton? I'm pretty sure it ran natively a few years back.

At this point, I expect most tickets holder are influencers trying to cash in on a reaction video.

One of the main developers presented this project at FOSDEM.

Of course this was not about to end racism, but building safe space to not trigger the racists is encouraging them.

Used one for a few years and I loved it:

  • it's precise, you can really aim small UI elements
  • It is paired with actual buttons, index on the nub and thumb on the buttons, so no weird gestures to right click
  • It is very quick to switch from keyboard to mouse, your hands nearly don't move

But, there's no mouse wheel or scroll gesture and maintaining pressure on the nub is maybe more tiring than a trackpad.

While the registrar should have made more to understand the situation before acting, it's important to keep in mind that according to itch.io, the request was not a DMCA takedown but an accusation of "fraud and fishing". There's probably a very large legal exposure for a registrar to let criminal website use their service if they are made aware of it, so reducing their liability is probably their highest priority.

BrandShield is inexcusable for using such a claim as a first step.

Second degree cousins is not that close though. If every generation has three children, that's 27 persons. I thinks that for most of human history excluding second degree cousins from the acceptable partners pool would have been impossible. Communities were not that big.

No we are not attributing fries to the Belgian, fries are french. The Belgian improved on our invention and make the best fries, but Frenchs invented it.

Content warning, a lot of french: https://www.musee-gourmandise.be/fr/musee-gourmandise/articles-de-fond?view=article&id=132:la-veritable-histoire-de-la-frite&catid=77:articles-fond
