Also fixed is a bug that could cause an X server crash when graphics apps request single-buffered drawables while certain features like Vulkan sharpening are enabled, a bug that could lead to a kernel panic due to a failure to release a spinlock under some conditions, and a race condition which could lead to crashes when Xid errors occur concurrently on multiple GPUs.

I’ve been through a similar process (as an employee) and all I can keep thinking is “Fuck you.” after every sentence this guy says.

I usually play it in short bursts, iirc you can save at any time.

Hans credits his improved social and communication skills learned in prison among other details shared in the public letters.

I thought prisons were meant to cause more trauma and help ensure people never leave so as to increase profits?

I’ll just use an alias; sudo has been around for to long for me to change it and not be stressed about it.

The only good games on phone are now emulators and a few Foss games

Always has been.

Gaaahhhh this brings me back. Thanks!

I suppose it is like a super zip file. I was using Ubuntu’s default backup (Deja Dup) which was just a gui for Duplicity. I was using the gui for everything but I suppose it didn’t work. I spent days running through all the command options for duplicity, but it never yielded any results. I still don’t really know what went wrong, but no matter.

I wanted to upgrade my Ubuntu to a newer version, but I had to do it through the command line. During the upgrade it asked if I wanted to see the file changes or something, so I said yes for fun… I couldn’t get out of the menu, or rather I didn’t know how and seemed to be stuck halfway through the upgrade. I tried a bunch of keys and possible combinations including… Ctrl + X.

So after quitting the terminal halfway through a system upgrade I tried to restore through backup. Turns out the backup was corrupted or something and didn’t work. I never realized because I never thought to test it. I lost a few years of photos and some music files that I’ve had probably for decades that I downloaded off Limewire. I still have the backup file in case it can be salvaged some day, but oh well. Most of the files I was able to download again off of the bay.

I used to always go with Ubuntu LTS for dat stability. One day I had to upgrade to non-LTS version for some reason (that I completely forget) and I’ve never looked back. IME it’s the same as LTS but with all the cool features you wish you had. Which I can’t list rn because I forget.

…Who am I even. idk.

Ahh I remember now. Thanks.

SERIOUSLY?! I guess I didn’t use it at all in the first one too and completely forgot about it. Unless it wasn’t in the original game? I seriously don’t remember anything like that in the first one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh well, not that it matters. Hate it just the same.

Goes to show how much I paid attention to it after the DS2 lol.

Meh. I really disliked Dead Space 2. The time altering ability made the game too easy so I didn’t put any points into it. Then I get to that one regen boss where you have to use it to open a flippin’ door before it smashes you. Really dumb to have an optional ability that becomes mandatory for like one part of the game (and to open a dang door at that). I never got past that door, and I never completed the game.

The first Dead Space is awesome though, but I’m not sad there won’t be a third fourth(???). Never would have bought it because the ability tomfoolery in the second.

There are also distros that are meant specifically for educational settings:

Note that I don’t think that Endless OS restricts it’s usage.

Running Ubuntu 23.10 with xz-utils 5.41 which is unaffected. Versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 are the malicious packages. I used Synaptic Package Manager to search for it.

Hah my xeon 1650 isn’t even on there. Too old?

IMO the industry as a whole has breached the “trust thermocline” by consistently releasing broken unfinished games. There aren’t as many people that will buy a game at release, and would rather wait for the bugs to fixed and buy it at a discount a year or so later; or, it’s realized the bugs will never be fixed and no one buys it.

Also with the realization that digital copies (that aren’t installed on your own HDD) can be taken from you at a whim. I think most people are fed up with it, and are sticking to games they already have or just not playing at all.
