I don’t think you understand where US military power was coming from. It was not just the money, it was the ability to project that power easily (having bases in Europe, etc for example).

That was the ‘soft power’ everyone was talking about. Orange mongoloid had now destroyed that and I don’t think it’s coming back any time soon.

Everyone is basically letting idiots destroy themselves and watching their moves. There is nothing anyone else can do right now.

Except Chinese and Russians. They are rolling on the floor laughing…

What middle class? 🤔

We are certainly not playing the same game, then. All good.

Edit: so, finally back home and started the game. Main screen, after game loads has 0 references to MTX. Zero. Only and only when you go to STORE tab do you get to see anything. Or if you click on RAIDER TOKENS section in the top right. Nothing else, anywhere.

So while I love shitting on game devs, I prefer to do it for a good reason, and not based on lies. You might not like the prices and that’s perfectly ok, noone likes them.

But that does not equal “shoving MTX in your face”.

“Shoves MTX in your face like crazy” = skins in a STORE tab?

Yeah, don’t think I will continue the conversation.

What MTX are you talking about?

You sound like an incel. I don’t mean it as an insult, just a heads up.

Lol. What middle class? 😂

I am sure everyone was just waiting for you to explain those differences 👍

Incredible. We have reached the point where it feels safer buying a random Chinese phone than Samsung or other “big brands”.

Apparently, laws and you have something in common 🤔

Lol. It didn’t get anyone excited.

Oooooooh, this is good.

Few weeks ago I have noticed that my Presonus account is offering me to download Studio One Pro 7, in deb or flatpak format. I use Linux desktop for everything except audio work (still use Windows machine for that) so when I checked my Presonus account from Linux box I was quite shocked.

Sadly, attempt to upload the image from the phone (using Boost app) doesn’t work so I can’t upload and can’t be bothered to upload elsewhere then share URL, etc.

I couldn’t get bothered to try installing it earlier since I don’t want to run S1 on this box.

But just for the sake of it, I have now tried installing flatpak file and it completed.

I don’t use flatpak much but trying to do…

flatpak run com.presonus.studioapp7

… failed with “Failed to connect to Wayland display”.

I spent 0 seconds on reading about S1 Pro for Linux and have no intention to bother with it further but if you do use S1 on Windows you might have Linux download available as well. Give it a try if you are interested.

What exactly it requires to run, I have no idea.

But it is really surprising development.

Edit: hah, after i removed that flatpak i just installed, a notification popped up saying “Studio One is a Wayland application and won’t run in X11 session.”

Hahaha.

As opposed to supporting a country that… (fill in the blanks, there is an infinite supply)

What a nonsense.

CVE was used by thousands and thousands of security professionals and organizations, companies are just small part of it. Companies contributed a lot with their own research and vulnerabilities they found and reported into CVE. It was useful because it made it easier to categorize and catalogue vulnerabilities and it made everyone’s life easier. Not just companies’. It made it easier for Linux distros as well. And so on, and so on. Do Americana really think everything needs to be run as a company and for profit?

I guess we’ll now go back to the “good old days” of sharing bugs on Bugtraq.

I still can’t comprehend that Americans voted that idiot into White House. Again. Damage he is doing is out of this world and will only become apparent in years to come. Truly incredible.

It was never a democracy.

Right. I am dumb 😕🤗

Not really interested in debating with average “I run arch btw” user. We are not in the same universe, things I have to audit and maintain are not in the same universe with things you do, so having such a smart advice coming from you is not a surprise at all. I could, after all, just roll out my own distro if I am not happy, amirite?

I run systemd machines because I don’t have a choice. It doesn’t make it any less of a shit. Simple as that.

But hey, tell me some more about systemd, I am really new to all this 🤔

“Just avoid places that sysadmins and security guys frequent and get your opinions on systemd from memes and people running arch on home machine”. Great plan.

Systemd is absolute and utter shit, especially from security perspective.

Noone was asking security guys but package maintainers.

My favorite systemd thing is booting up a box with 6 NICs where only 1 was configured during the initial setup. Second favorite is betting on whether it will hang on reboot/shutdown.

Great tool, 10/10.
