  • Of course, if you’re living in Russia, it’s dangerous to state anything other than support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

    That doesn’t mean it isn’t cringeworthy to watch someone awkwardly dance around it, trying to ignore it while complaining about (checks notes) losing a bit of reputation over an unnecessary war that their country started and which literally cost thousands of lives.

    Any Russian who stands up against that is incredibly brave. The others, just different levels of sad. Non-Russians who support Putin are the worst.

    I understand why you’d want FOSS to not care abot borders, wars and politics and that is noble. But to call this comment racism, comes across as a veiled show of support for Putin. As if critiquing his invasion is a racist act that hurts the Russian people. Putins invasion is hurting the Russian people. Not this comment.

    This has me confused.

    Temperature can be used to refer to how fast the atoms are jiggling (kinetic or phonon temperature) or to how messy, disordered (opposite of ordered) a system is.

    Time dilation is a relativistic effect where time appears to go slower when you are looking at something that has a very high speed (near light speed) compared to you (relative velocity). Can also happen with mass because gravity is acceleration, thus related to velocity.

    If the atoms are jiggling slower, relative velocities only shrink, so you’d expect to see less relativistic effect. I am not aware of any relativistic effects due to thermal motion in normal conditions (room temp, atmospheric pressure), so I don’t know how they’d appear when relative velocities only decrease.

    I am really interested where you got this temperature - time dilation link from. Can’t seem to crack it.





  • In my first month with the Deck, I have mostly played:

    • Death Stranding
    • Red Faction: Guerrilla
    • GRID (2008)

    And the hilarious tech demo of course!

    I’m really happy with how well Death Stranding works and really see myself finishing it now that I can play it on commute. Love that game but it never fit my schedule (at the desk, I always played flight sims in VR or just a very quick shooter session).

    Red Faction and GRID are easy enough on the battery, especially at 40 fps, and not too fussy about controls so they feel good with a controller (I felt a bit handicapped in Dirt Rally 2 and Project Cars 2).

    In terms of emulation, I installed RetroDeck and tried Gran Turismo PSP but found that hard with the large stick and no analog controls for accelerate/brake Just putting some PS1 and PS2 games on it now, let’s see if those will be able to bump GRID and Red Faction from my frequented list:

    • Metal Gear Solid 1,2 and 3
    • Gran Turismo 4

  • People, don’t downvote! Look at the instance David’s on. nl is Netherlands. That’s us. We are nazi europe. The fascists are in government here in .nl, with a party that has only one member.

    That is forbidden in Germany btw. I always like asking Dutch fascists why they think that party structure is forbidden in Germany specifically. Watch them realize they have to link the way their party is organized to WW2.



  • Yes, you are right.

    The old stuff, now no longer supported, is:

    • .NET Framework up to and incl version 4.8
    • Runtimes distributed as part of Windows
    • Mono is a Linux Runtime used for compatibility

    The new stuff:

    • .NET Core, up to and incl 3, more recent versions are named .NET from version 5 onwards (to prevent mixing it up with the old Framework)
    • Is completely cross-platform, natively
    • I don’t know about desktop specific graphical stuff but that probably depends on the specific library



  • Les cars de longue distance sont dans quelques pays même plus environnementale que les TGV, n’ont pas besoin d’infrastructure specifique, et sont le mode de transport le plus economique, permettant chacun de faire des voyages en Europe.

    Mais parce qu’ils n’ont pas le niveau de comfort que Mr. Gregoire aimerait, il ose de les appeler “pas dignés”.

    Je ne suis pas francais, donc excusez moi pour la langue. “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”. Il y a pas l’espace dans les trains, c’est la realite economique.






  • Good point. I guess you’re right, there are no flattering roles. But each of those options you list would have been less on top of existing prejudices.

    Making her the (non-technical) project manager whose only contribution is “how many story points is that?”, who’s then silenced because “this is important!”, confirms the typical prejudices about women in tech:

    • no technical expertise
    • is not in charge
    • does not have anything to say that is worth listening to in times of crisis

    Especially being talked over. This matches many women’s experiences in men-dominated environments to a T.

    I’d much rather the technically competent, important but socially weird engineer (Jared) be the woman, or the incompetent boss, who’s in charge and calls the shots. Even having no women in the skit would be better than this Cindy role.

    Or, weird idea I know, multiple people with different roles being women. 🙄
