just run it in wine
is this a joke or would ccleaner in wine actually be able to do anything?
btw, ccleaner, along with avira, avg and avast have all been (or are about to be) acquired by norton.
christ, good to know. i know avira/vg/avast/norton are all horrible but i didn't know ccleaner fell under that scope :( that sucks

Gris isn't a very narrative-heavy game, doesn't have a lick of dialogue, but nonetheless tells a story very very well.
Also, I cannot emphasize this enough: I love love love the very pen-and-watercolor geometric / astronomical / architectural style they have. It is satisfying in a way I can't really express.
Another game, Metroid Dread, I found the story to be extremely satisfying for some really silly reasons. It's not a good story but it was satisfying as someone who has been invested in the series for two decades. Especially how they portray Samus. But I can't explain why without spoiling the game.

Reply to comment by neku in homestuck ran for 7 years. the finale is reaching its 6 year anniversary. feel old yet? by twovests
On one hand, they directly conflict with trans headcanons that I had that I felt really elegantly fit in with canon, as well as conflicting with my own mental model of how the Homestuck universe worked in some particular ways.
On the other hand, I liked them a lot, they addressed some gripes I had with the original webcomic and they were thoroughly enjoyable. They also directly confirmed the theories I had for the ending of Homestuck.
They lead into Homestuck 2, which really disappointed compared to the epilogues...
TLDR: Yeah, go read the epilogues

Wouldn't these not have as strong of a timestamp? My understanding is that the only benefit of notarizing """on a blockchain""" is that there are a lot of copies of the database everywhere with the same timestamp, and that there are some blockchain-based enotaries out there?
I don't mean this rhetorically, I've never actually used a notary (electronic or otherwise) so this is a gap in my knowledge (I don't know what to search for to fill that)

i would only use an NFT if i really really needed to notarize something with a difficult-to-break timestamp and if i wanted that i'd do it on ethereum and on bitcoin
the fact that nft people don't understand this and that the big NFT platforms can revoke things tell me that this won't actually work
how will i prove things to people? imagine the year 2060 "hey you can see the SHA256 digest of my patent on this block from 30 years ago if you download the entire 30 TiB blockchain" and they say "what the hell is a Block Chain. go Fuck yourself" and they sentence me to space execution

Oh my fucking God this is true
Their defense was this: https://twitter.com/cryptoland/status/1480191582909440005
"Our twitter is run by several people and not all of them are native english speakers."
What was the supposed interpretation then??? Like, I have heard some painful stories from non-native english speakers about mixups, but this just sounds like bullshit. You'd think they'd be quick to state specifically what the mistake was if that is the excuse they go with.

God it was so bad. WSL and WSL2 are Microsoft's desparate attempts to court developers who realize how much better Linux and Mac are for developing anything, but instead it just gives people the impression "Ubuntu sucks and is slow" which is probably just as good.
Maybe 2022 will be the year of WSL

Windows 10 was really neat because in 2016 it was FINALLY catching up to Linux DEs, with things like multiple desktops and whatnot.
There is a tool called Disable Windows Tracking (DWT) here: https://github.com/bitlog2/DisableWinTracking
This is a fork and idk for sure if it's still considered trustworthy, but I use it. It will break a lot of things like the Xbox app though.
I don't recommend using Windows unless you absolutely need to. IME it does nothing better than my Linux distros except NTFS support and some software.

hopefully windows 12 doesn't suck and you can go from 10 to 12 without a problem at least?
