  • ah damn i had only looked at the tables in there, sorry

  • makes the game a fair bit harder though

  • to be fair, that only happens when you click on one of the ads, which i think is fair

  • i loved the first season intro but the second was so disappointing ):

  • I love the remixed version for the finale

  • For anyone wondering, basically nothing changes

  • they semi-confirmed it wont be because they announced on kickstarter that the backers of the og game would get it free on the platform of their choice.

  • Cette video n'est pas en Francais!?! Degoutant!

    that's what he'd say

  • I genuinely hate ameri-centrism like this, so many articles have headlines like that

  • The language thing is fascinating to me, thank you for sharing

  • Basically a video player that's pretty much on par with VLC, except it has a super barebones UI and is meant to have other UIs built around it

  • Ça pis une cigarette 🥰🥰

  • Thanks for warning us!

  • Wings of fire did this too

    It was peak

  • Unsurprising, but knowing Microsoft they'll still fuck it up somehow.

  • Honnêtement, même en étant qqun vivant au Québec ça fait du bien de voir que le système de la justice de la France marche mieux que celui au ÉU

  • That feature is currently being worked on and will be added soon

  • fun fact! In french, the slang word for penis (bite) is feminine, so it's la bite.

    Makes total sense

    What are some tech products that you want that you can't seem to find?

    Stuff like a pretty case with slots for optical drives, a laptop with a shitton of ports and all-day battery life or anything else that seems to go against the trends.

    This thread is for complaining about how you can't find it and (maybe) finding it thanks to someone else.

    What is the best Comptia A+ study guide?

    I want to get a head start on the technique d'informatique college course i am going to take next (school) year, and i figured comptia A+ is as good a place as any to start.

    The title is self-explanatory, but i would like to add i would much prefer a book than a video. I am fine with paying for it, but then it would have to be physical. Video recommendations are also welcome though, because they could help anyone else who is asking themselves the same thing.

    Discord's native linux screensharing is now on the stable branch.

    Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch for the moment, this isnt lazy either, they changed the whole screenshare flow to suit linux's permission prompts

    Looking for a good solution for a hands-free kiosk.

    I want to setup a bunch of laptops to be web kiosks, I'll organize my wants into a list so that it's easier to skim:

    • Open a version of Firefox with the normal ui, tabs and all.
    • Automatically enters a session with no user input on reboot
    • Doesn't allow doing anything but interacting with Firefox (kinda obvious, kiosk and all)
    • Auto-login
    • Automatic updates, with them being applied on restart
    • Firefox settings reset on reboot

    Nice to haves:

    • nice Plymouth screen to hide the scary code on startup.
    • completely block any attempts to change configuration on Firefox
    • ad-block
    • easy deployment to a bunch of machines.

    If these sound like pretty strict requirements, they are, I'm doing this to attempt to get an internship by making my school's web kiosk laptops not suck (they currently run a janky install of Ubuntu 18.04)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I'd be glad to add more information.

    How does hypixel have their website and minecraft server on their root domain? (I would like to do something similar)

    Hypixel.net is both their website and mc server adress.

    Is it just that https is on port 443 and minecraft is on port 25565?

    And if that is the case, can i do something similar by making a reverse proxy have two seperate server blocks for the one domain, with different ports?

    130 hours in, i have built a turbofuel-powered oil rig. (more pictures and details in description)

    Here are the basic photos of the rig:

    This is the plastic and rubber manufacturing:

    The residue from that goes into the turbofuel refineries:

    some of it is packaged, the rest gets burned in 8 2x overclocked fuel generators for power:

    What's your favorite book that you wouldnt say is a masterpiece?

    Mine is the wings of fire series, it is a "kids" novel (think like warrior cats age range)

    But Tui T sutherland is so good at writing characters and introducing and describing worlds and characters that i reread it every so often. Like, she managed to write a book from the pov of a mind reader and it works.

    Every book is from a different character's pov and each character feels wholly unique.

    The main issue with the series is that the plot is kinda average at best, the characters really carry the story.

    About the ads thing in 128

    Discussion

    Right. I'm getting tired of seeing people dump on Firefox and Mozilla about this thing in the release notes:

    Firefox now supports the experimental Privacy Preserving Attribution API, which provides an alternative to user tracking for ad attribution. This experiment is only enabled via origin trial and can be disabled in the new Website Advertising Preferences section in the Privacy and Security settings.

    What is this? And why is it not something to get heated about?

    Attribution is how advertisers know how to pay the right site owner when someone clicks on their ad. It's important for ad-supported sites that clicks get attributed.

    Right now, attribution is basically incompatible with protecting privacy. Advertisers use every method of tracking you can name, and some you can't, to provide accurate attribution.

    The Privacy Preserving Attribution API is an experimental way of informing an advertiser that someone clicked on an ad on a given site without leaking
