I remember begging my parents, at the age of 12, for the cash to put together my first gaming-capable PC.
When I was a teenager in the nineties in France, it was a big deal that there was some PCs under 10000 francs (~1500€). PC parts pricing has been rough for years.
Was there really a time when a decent budget gaming PC could be built so cheap compared to middle class income? I’m not saying it’s not getting worse, but I’m wondering if the past is not idealized.
5km in an hour is a brisk walk. In 45 minutes it’s probably closer to a jog. It’s not super human but it’s not a normal walking pace.
The bio literally says “parody account”.
No it’s not, other Unix were on the list until 2017, there was even some Windows and macos for a time.
Some have thousands but yes.on most of these systems :
What’s really peculiar in modern IT, is that it often use old school Unix multi user management. Users connect to the system through SSH with their own username, use a POSIX filesystem and their processes are executed with their own usernames.
There is kernel knobs to pay attention to, but generally standard RHEL kernels are used.
I’m sure this got a lot of likes on his numerous social media accounts which are not on US platforms.
The bar is on the floor, and he can’t reach it.
I thought the link would lead me to the Rimworld page.
Pretty common to keep your shoes inside in France. It’s more common in houses with a hard floor than in apartments with a wooden floor, but there’s absolutely no standard so you usually end up asking.
I had the same question, that was what prompted me to click on the source link. No it’s sales from the US only. I also realized, that even if it was that would mean that the increase in spending is even more dramatic.
The actual issue I realized today is that those are sales from the US government, not sure if Germany buying from an American company counts. So I’m not sure it can actually be compared. This does not improve my opinion of that article. Misrepresenting irrelevant data is not better than just misrepresenting data.
This article is trash trying to sell you something that is not true and actually disproved in the article itself :
According to U.S. government data, Berlin signed off on more than $17 billion in foreign military sales between 2020 and 2024, hitting a $13.9 billion record in 2023, highlighting increased demand following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
So what this paragraph is saying that in 2023 Germany spent 13.9 billions, and about 800 millions in average for the other four years (and that’s consistent with the linked source).
So the “drop” to 6.8 billions is actually five times the spending from 2024. And it’s double the average spending from the last five years. Germany buys more American hardware than ever (except 2023).
It’s Monday morning, I’m supposed to go to work ! I don’t thank you Steve.
If the pattern was real 1TB drives would not exist either, since they are about 1.1 TiB.
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.
The explanation don’t explain why AE must be a diameter of the circle. What makes that obvious?
No idea if it’s remotely similar but it made immediately think about this: https://www.gog.com/en/game/pharaoh_cleopatra
That’s a good game.
One of the main developers presented this project at FOSDEM.
(He is a Mozilla employee but made a point to tell it was not affiliated with Mozilla and was working on it on his spare time)
Ok, that’s enough Lemmy… Time to put the phone down.
How that’s weird, because I can name it under it’s french name “attrap’ souris” (literally “catch mouse”) but this implies it was originally themed with burglars.
