@TTimo ah yes the good old single-factor authentication. It's simplicity is beautiful

A reminder that "no politics" is in itself a political statement, and nothing is apolitical.

Can't believe how often this comes up.

This tweet is about fosstodon.

@gamingonlinux It's not even a good joke, like it's kinda plausible in an actually interesting way. What a weird choice.

Shoulda been Unity.

@killyourfm that idiot doesn't know I have Kali installed

@killyourfm the one you have installed :)

Feel like this should be required reading for half of the Mozilla posts I'm seeing.

Thanks for doing the leg work @veggero

@gamingonlinux FWIW this is surely mainly to prevent F2P ad-funded games publishing and distributing on Steam and Valve not taking a single penny

@gamingonlinux doesn't work on Admins or Server Managers ;_;

@killyourfm yeah I've had to correct 3 friends and colleagues today talking about it...

On the other hand this isn't the first time AMD have strongly implied deeply bogus info...

@gamingonlinux AFAIK this is specifically because Threads is one of the networks that downplays any external links, because it's optimising for retention *within* Threads.

@gamingonlinux yup, best guess at the moment, current culprit might be the one I routed all the way up through the floor and I really don't want to have to redo that one.

Downloads have been a little slower than expected (like 100Mbps) for a while, somehow my dumb brain assumed it must be the service uploads or something. Dumb me never did a speed test. I'm getting 1/10th my gigabit. What.

@killyourfm AFAIK Rivals works on Linux? Though I haven't tried it myself

@killyourfm This is one I just don't get - we should be at a stage now where people can just always take the latest drivers, at least on Ubuntu. Windows users don't have to think about this at all.

@killyourfm It's interesting to see the numbers here are about 80% chinese, fwiw. Shows how big that market is.

@killyourfm Purple is Wukong, Green is Madden. Amazing to see the difference xD

@killyourfm can't emphasise how awesome that mouse is, it's so premium

@killyourfm FYI it's been confirmed by WaPo to be real, an audience member has died and one is in critical condition. The shooter is dead too.

Much love to my US cousins and friends right now. Y'all deserve a rest and some true TLC, not this :(

@killyourfm Even before that it takes a hard line into what feels like a mid HBO show :(

Hopefully this is just bad trailer vibes tho! It is Ridley after all.
