Oh, man, that's rough. How is such a thing even legal?

We've got some great contenders this year!

• Alan Wake 2
• Baldur's Gate 3
• Marvel's Spider-Man 2
• Resident Evil 4
• Super Mario Bros. Wonder
• The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Who are you voting for (or would vote for) and why?

Aww, this brings back memories. :)

A few years back, myself and a friend of mine missed the trail that goes up to Kredarica, and walked the trail at the bottom of the picture, taking us to the Valentina Staniča mountain home with some steep climbs along the way. Getting back to Kredarica took something like three hours. We were exhausted, but the views, oh man, let me tell you...

So... you usually get 4-5 hours of sleep per night?

Disagree. If FOSS were an anarchism what would be the point of FOSS lincences of which some are very long legal documents? Also corporations would just take your code, say its theirs and tell you to go fuck yourself.

Yes, I agree. And Creative Commons are a great example of peoples' control over their work. My argument is that it wont be 'the original artist' who gets to interpret the licensing terms.

If I may take your example of border patrol abusing immigrants with your software. And I'm sorry for the trivial example beforehand.

Let's say you put in licensing terms: "This software may not be used to endanger peoples lives and/or livelyhoods". And software is used by both Border Patrol and the immigrants to protect/cross the border.

Both parties come before a judge, accusing the other party of misusing your software. Border patrol says the immigrants are endangering american people with crime etc. ,and the immigrants accuse the border patrol of violent beatings.

In whose favor would a judge decide?

P.S.: thanks for the link. I'm a huge Tom Waits fan, and had no idea about the voice-theft.

Damn, how'd that get me :)

Appointments were already mentioned, but what about holidays - the days most of us get off work? A simple solution wold be to write them next to the calendar, but it's a bit less than an elegant solution.

I should've been more specific, the content is hidden deeper in the wiki, you have to follow the links:

• Reduce read/writes https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Improving_performance#Reduce_disk_reads/writes
• Improving Ext4 performance https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ext4#Improving_performance

To do the tune-ups, the usb drive must be unmounted. But it might not be as relevant as I thought... the same wiki entry says, that if you do 10gb of write operations per day, the USB drive (whitout tune-ups) should last you 10 years. But you still might consider disable journaling as it will speed things up (less of those costly write operations). (See "3.5 Disabling journaling" on the second link).

That's nice. Be sure to set appropriate flags to mount the USB (e.g. in fstab file) to prolong it's life span. The thumb drive could deteriorate rather quickly otherwise.

Edit: typo

Yes, you are right. It's a lot like working in IT, with special data types and some processing.

In typical setting we basically separate the system in three layers: (1) data - file servers and databases, (2) services - Servers that read this data and offer API endpoints that programs can call, that return visualised data in form of images or individual features (see: WMS, WMTS, WFS...) and (3) User/presentation layer - the (web) applications that endusers access (think Google maps / Google Earth and similar type of apps)

On my typical work day I work on one or more of above "layers". Be it data aquisition, server administration, debugging services, programming end user application, or simply helping our users understand how to use the data... being in IT though means that there also are a lot of nonse meetings involved :)

Oh, man! Looks awesome! Is it digital and is there a link where we could buy / download it?
