a low latency kernel (whatever that means. I’ll get there to figure it out eventually)

It’s a kernel with real-time process scheduling enabled by default.

In normal kernels a process can theoretically block all other processes from running for up to several seconds, which is obviously bad for time sensitive things like audio recordings or controlling a CNC-machine for example.

In real-time scheduling all processes are guaranteed time slices in more regular intervals. This is good for time sensitive things like audio recording, but since there is some scheduling overhead it’s bad for single resource intensive processes or process trees like video games.

There are rights and responsibilities associated with a proprietary model… and IMO you (and your permissive government) should not be overriding those rights for your own short-sighted benefit.

Kind of sounds like you misunderstood the initiative to be honest. This only affects games which have been abandoned by the developer, the proprietary model stays perfectly intact as long as you actually keep selling your games.

Meh, essentially it’s just writing “Telecommunicationsourcesurveillance” as a single word without the spaces to indicate it’s a singular thing being referred to (in this case the concept of directly listening on the source device before encryption happens). Might seem weird I guess, but you get used to it pretty quickly.

It means “telecommunication source surveillance”.

Well I for one (not GP) am actually quite glad that it is literally illegal to publicly display here in Germany, especially with the current political climate going on here and elsewhere. You want to just out yourself as a Nazi? Okay, off to prison you go. That’s good. AFAIK there are exemptions for temples and such, e.g. for artistic uses like Games, some Wolfenstein games replaced swastikas in the German release because nobody was sure if that’s legal.

I don’t think it is actually illegal to display in any country that has a lot of people using it religiously, but yeah it’s a sad fact that it still has to be illegal in so many places such a long time later.

I guess he means cruel as opposed to “accidental”. He’s trying to make clear that it happens deliberately.

Nah they are spelling MS-05, which is just another chapter of MS-13, but the lying fake news media cut out the people on the left forming the M. /s

Hmm, the thumbnail change doesn’t seem to have federated to lemmy.ml or other instances (so far at least), but it shows on lemmy.ca. Interesting. Thanks for updating it.

Good on Reuters for sending a drone over there.

Charges weren’t dropped. Neither the judge nor the prosecution sought detention, so she is just out until the next hearing happens (May 15th).

From: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/milwaukee-judge-hannah-dugan-charged-with-2-federal-felonies-in-ice-case/ar-AA1DCrnR

On April 25, Dugan appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen C. Dries during a brief hearing in a packed courtroom at the federal courthouse. Dugan, wearing a black dress with white flowers, made no public comments during the brief hearing.

At the hearing, Dries asked if prosecutors were seeking detention, and they said they were not. He answered that he did not believe that the charges were “eligible” for detention.

As it ended, her attorney, Craig Mastantuono, told the court: “Judge Dugan wholeheartedly regrets and protests her arrest. It was not made in the interest of public safety.”

Dugan made her federal court appearance a little more than two hours after she was arrested at the county courthouse at about 8 a.m. April 25.

I see you there random Krita user! Shill baby, shill!

The other reply you already got pretty much sums up how I feel about Merkel, not a fan exactly. But I’d like to add one specific thing she has my respect for.

During the refugee crisis of 2015 there was a point where her side of the political aisle was approaching hysteria. There were hundreds of thousands of people streaming into the EU from all over the middle east and north Africa, crowds at every major train station and border crossing, normal refugee infrastructure way beyond the point of collapse. So conservatives were starting to seriously argue for the suspension of asylum rights, closing borders, etc. And Merkel was usually one to wait stuff like this out, see what possible consensus forms and then adopt it as if it was her idea all along. But not this time. She saw it starting to gain traction, just came out publicly and said “We will manage this”, and that was that for her. Discussion died immediately.

I may not respect much of what she did before or after, but taking that stance at that moment as clearly as she did, that I respect her for.

Maybe you are confusing this with the news from a year ago that Steam doesn’t support Windows 7 and 8 anymore?

By the way MS-support for 7 ended in 2015, so that’s 9 more years of Steam support after updates from MS stopped. I’d count on Steam working on Windows 10 for years to come.

Influenza

• There are no known serious side effects in regard to Influenza vaccination which can be linked to the vaccine itself

Now that’s just wrong:

In patients with H[eart]F[ailure], influenza vaccination was associated with a reduced risk of both all-cause and cardiovascular death after extensive adjustment for confounders. Frequent vaccination and vaccination earlier in the year were associated with larger reductions in the risk of death compared with intermittent and late vaccination.

SCNR, you didn’t specify adverse side effects. :P
