Messiah was actually part of the first dune in the original design, although Herbert later splitted it.
Children is something else, even if it shares the characters, it's very much a setup for God Emperor. It has very different themes and style. Same with Heretics.
IMHO Dune is better seen as three duologies: Dune+Messiah, Children+God Emperor and Heretics and Chapterhouse.
The texture healing technique is technically brilliant, but imho looks weird.
I will stick to Source Code Pro.
We got our swamps, but then came the Dutch and they defeated the sea.
In general I think Spanish is a well formed language without (or at least not much) crazy shit.
But I still don't know why we have the same fucking word for weather and time. While using the same word for different meanings is ok, these two are ridiculously common concepts used a lot and it's not hard to get into situations where it's hard to know which is which. Absolutely stupid.
I don't think Lemmy is more privacy friendly. In fact, its, arguably, even less privacy friendly that others.
I kind of agree with your points, but I think there has to be a distinction of libs. Most deps should be static IMHO. But something like OpenSSL I can understand if you go with dynamic linking, especially if it's a security critical program.
But for "string parsing library #124" or random "gui lib #35".. Yeah, go with static.
There has been many Napoleon projects, starting with the 1927 silent epic. Kubrick researched a long time for his project but never had time to do it. Spielberg is collaborating with HBO to use that script for a miniseries though.
Its double exposure.
Since the sky is so bright, if you take a photo capturing the city buildings color, the sky ends up almost white due to it being so white. If you expose for the sky colors instead, you can see the full gamut of colors in this sunset, but the buildings would end up very dark (this is how we end with those iconic western film scenes or dark ground with red sky).
You can take a double exposure to combine both so you have a higher range of light. There are many techniques for it and phones do it automatically but can be done in any camera, even film cameras. However if you fuck up or theres movement (slighty different angle) between the two takes, you can end up with things ghosting out.
It can be used to create lots of tricks: https://www.ericjamesphoto.com/blog/2016/2/double-exposures-on-film
In the 19th century they used it to "photograph ghosts" (spiritualism was in vogue at the time): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_photography
Waterloo (1970). That many extras required the collaboration with the soviet army, as well as bulldozing a big area to film.
We can see the difference very clearly with the new Napoleon trailer, which despite the huge budget looks outright poor in battles.
Do people have such short memory? The US does it, yeah, it was a super major scandal years ago. Spying not just on "enemy" states but also supposed allies, as well as all citizens all over.
Yes and no. It's an escalations issue. Even with administrator access, you are not supposed[note1] to be allowed to install drivers with invalid signature, which supposedly haven an even high chain of trust (although this really iffy unless you are using secureboot as well but that's another discussion).
That said, when the attacker already has admin privileges you are so far in the compromised chain that the kernel driver is an issue, but you are most likely completely fucked anyways.
This just makes your vulnerability state to be the same as in linux, where your drivers arent required to be signed in the first place, for example.
[note 1]: There's a caveat, with admin acess you can disable driver signatures entirely, using bcdedit, this is called test signing and leaves a visible watermark at all times with "Test signing enabled", therefore the user can already see that the computer is compromised. Its mostly useful for devs (or attacking people who dont give a fuck).
At this point I wonder if there are some internal politics that want this project to fail and be over. 70 price tag, live service but only on ubisoft platform, ignoring the most demanded features, etc.
It's like they are tired of a project that was a money black hole for years and they just want to pull the plug.
