i am a mod and i can load this in floorp, waterfox, microsoft edge, safari, mercury, pale moon, and librewolf, in private browsing, with and without uBo disabling JS for floorp and chr*mium. what are you seeing? if you’re seeing a paywall, try disabling ClearURLs or whitelisting ?unlocked_article_code. the only browser i tested where this crashed or froze or didn’t even display content is servo which is alpha and quite incomplete

tried that now

(That’s the reason the lawmakers gave too.)

This article is about that proposal.

Going higher (up) in the graph means more tons of carbon emitted, i.e. worse things done to the climate.

replacement of core system utilities that aren’t ready for prime time

Could we talk about Unity? I’d wager that these bugs wouldn’t have been found by 2027 if Ubuntu hadn’t adopted sudo-rs. And I’d say “look at where Unity is right now” if they hadn’t switched to GNOME Shell.

there’s regular and then there’s LTS releases for a reason

One of the patches is to prevent the sudo password from being leaked in case of a timeout or sudo being killed. Another patch is to use enum for the feedback parameter. Another patch to ensure feedback is always erased before exiting the read unbuffered code. Another change is also made to not treat backspace as a password character when the password is empty.

orders have enactment dates so the orderees have time to implement it or appeal. the enactment date was yesterday night, so that is to be expected, and you were gonna see that message change this morning… except SCOTUS stayed it yesterday night

orders are not automatically revoked when appealed. the appeal court has to issue an emergency stay if it believes the appellant has a good chance of succeeding or hard-to-reverse harm would happen if the stay wasn’t issued.

the circuit court just rejected the stay application, so SNAP payouts are a go!

(poor people getting aid they’re already supposed to get is not very uplifting tho imo)

Say that to Nature, one of the world’s most cited scientific journals by the Science Edition of the 2022 Journal Citation Reports (with an ascribed impact factor of 50.5)[1]

(The conversation continues… in https://kbin.melroy.org/m/games@sh.itjust.works/t/1284060/Nintendo-s-Creature-Capture-Patent-Dealt-Blow-Amid-Palworld-Lawsuit/comment/9813866#entry-comment-9813866 !)

As part of their ongoing lawsuit, Nintendo is claiming PalWorld has violated those… now invalid patents, so Nintendo’s overall case against PalWorld is now significantly more weak.

That directly contradicts your quote:

Since the application isn’t cited in the Palworld patent lawsuit directly, its rejection won’t have a direct impact on the ongoing case. However, as explained by Games Fray’s analyst Florian Mueller, the newly rejected application is a “key building block” in Nintendo’s strategy to capture a wide range of creature-capture system implementations. It is the child of patent JP7493117 and the parent of JP7545191, both of which are cited in Nintendo’s complaint.

IANAL, but IIRC atl in US law “child patent” just means it adds new claims to the parent patents’ technology, so this just invalidates the parts that Nintendo did not use in its lawsuit.

You’re right.

In Western regions (North America and Europe) around 2009, the video game industry saw the success of Zynga and other large publishers of social-network games that offered the games for free on sites like Facebook but included microtransactions to accelerate one’s progress in the game, providing that publishers could depend on revenue from post-sale transactions rather than initial sale.[23] One of the first games to introduce loot box-like mechanics was FIFA 09, made by Electronic Arts (EA), in March 2009 which allowed players to create a team of association football players from in-game card packs they opened using in-game currency earned through regular playing of the game or via microtransactions.[26] Another early game with loot box mechanics was Team Fortress 2 in September 2010, when Valve added the ability to earn random “crates” to be opened with purchased keys.[13] Valve’s Robin Walker stated that the intent was to create “network effects” that would draw more players to the game, so that there would be more players to obtain revenue from the keys to unlock crates.[23] Valve later transitioned to a free-to-play model, reporting an increase in player count of over 12 times after the transition,[25] and hired Yanis Varoufakis to research virtual economies.[27] Over the next few years many MMOs and multiplayer online battle arena games (MOBAs) also transitioned to a free-to-play business model to help grow out their player base, many adding loot-box monetisation in the process,[25][28] with the first two being both Star Trek Online[29] and The Lord of the Rings Online[citation needed] in December 2011.
