Regarding the title thing. Lots of news sites will have multiple titles that get swapped at random. The different wordings increase the click through rate. You might not be interested in title 1,2 or 3, but title 4 gets you to click.

But as for change logs for the actual article, none that I know of. The best you normally see is something like “last edited 5 minutes ago”

Stakeholders that want a payout will demand the data be sold to the highest bidder.

And other companies will probably be interested in said data and willing to buy.

I would like for it to be destroyed as well, but capitalism going to capitalism.

Yep, companies give “unlimited PTO” because it’s a way to actually reduce the amount of PTO employees take.

Give them 20 days PTO/year? They’ll take around 20 a year.

Give them unlimited PTO? They need to justify every bit of PTO, so probably only get to take 4 or 5 for important days.

Yep, Gucci and Louis Vuitton on the prowl.

Given how the crazies are going at the moment I’ll try and fill in some of the gaps

1. Destroy power substations
2. Eat the cats, eat the dogs
3. Grift through a GoFundMe
4. ???
5. Race war!

Make sure you get a reputable VPN to avoid issues with any “questionably acquired” content.

Honestly, this does explain why vendors like HP seem to have every possible combo of device available in their business class laptops as Intel CPU options, but it’s sometimes like pulling teeth to get equivalent AMD options.

It’s sometimes a PITA if a client specifically wants an AMD machine for some reason.

If a school provides a device to a student to take home there’s two possible outcomes.

1. They provide a managed device, and with any management tool, there’s a way to invade privacy, intended or not.

2. They provide an unmanaged device and get sued by parents for letting their"innocent snowflake" access unwanted content.

In both instances there’s something to legitimately complain about, but I still say the first option is the better one. The problem comes with oversight and auditing on the use of those management tools.

Not to mention that even with the second option of unmanaged devices, invasion of privacy can still occur if students are stupid enough to use the school provided accounts (Google, 365,etc)

This is why Starfleet officers use the double hand punch.

Well to be fair they probably mistook hetero-sectional as heterosexual

Yarrrrrr indeed

Companies see that as a mistake. They want you on a subscription for life that they can arbitrarily change at any time.

Profits not increasing enough for this quarter? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads.

Profits increased amazingly this quarter? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads.

Profits down? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads, and start adding extra paywalls to some content

They want you to own nothing. Oh you unsubscribed? Sorry even the content you paid extra to unlock was only available while your subscription continued, you will need to start your subscription again and then pay to unlock the content again.

A show isn’t popular enough? Better write it off, pull it from all distribution so you can claim it as a tax write off

Honestly might be part of it, by going out of spec on the timestamps it probably let’s them more easily insert different length ads

They make a bunch of the other chips that go into computer devices, and from what I understand it’s binary blob or nothing for a lot of it?

Process sugar (diabeetus)

If you have docker containers and other stuff all on that USB drive I’d really reccomend getting it all off that USB (not just logging) and onto a proper drive of some kind. USB thumb sticks are not reliable long term storage, you will wake up to find the drive failing one day and good chance you lose everything on it with little to no warning.

My guess is log files are being written to it? Might want to install a proper drive internally and redirect log storage. With less activity the USB drive should not heat up anywhere near as much.

Games need to live closer to the bleeding edge than a lot of other software.

Also, for wine/proton, and the other customisations built into the deck, it makes sense to pick a starting point that is more built for customisation. By that I mean there was probably less things they needed to add or remove at the start.

As mentioned, it’s also likely there was personal bias internally. But even that can be a valid reason as they need to be familiar/comfortable with the starting distro.

Not saying that Debian cannot do it, but doing it this way probably made valve’s employees lives easier.

That is suprisingly good quality. I have never really seen a still shot from laserdisc before, can see why it had a following back in the day.

Nothing too special, just had to do some fiddling to get the Apache reverse proxy working correctly. Now I believe they have a pre-made example for it, but back then they only had nginx. I stick with Apache because that’s still what I know. Might start learning nginx, but my main work isn’t in web stuff.
