I've come to realize that whenever you see stuff like this going on, usually what's going on behind the scenes is there's an internal ideological struggle between one management group that's just trying to maximize profits through industry-tested methods and another that's trying to force the timeline to adhere to some childishly insane satanic prophecy.

JavaScript was a mistake.

Just posting to undo accidental moderation.

Just wait until they actually do the math and find out their giant word-salad generator is actually something like 1000% the cost of the equivalent amount of college interns.

Exactly. Now that this has been widely publicized, it will continue to work for another 2-3 months, tops, and then the bot swarm managers will simply escalate.

I think it will be more along the lines of Bubblegum Crisis.

Oh, yea, and that reminds me: fuck you for making me agree with him.

Bro, you just posted 9 times to this article. If astroturfing caused cancer you'd have given it to all of us by now.

Not sure if it counts because the wifi is only used for peer-to-peer connections with other Nintendos or Nintendo servers. There's no stock web browser or generic media players or such in the store and no way to connect to unlicensed 3rd-party applications or make generic ad-hoc data transfers of any sort, so it might be arguably still a closed ecosystem.

To be fair, AMC tickets are usually the cheapest of all the still existing major theater chains by far. I'm sure that by doing this they're just trying to balance the budget. Don't forget that not long ago they were about to have to close their doors permanently until they were saved at the 11th hour by a meme-stock craze. Will it work? Who knows... but I'm sure you can still find more expensive theaters showing fewer trailers.

I'm not sure it was really fair to mod this down... it was a relevant question.

Thanks, and sorry for the misinformation, I've gotten these two incidents munged together in my head: Funtoo reportedly ended multilib support, while Gentoo merely deprecated a particular multilib implementation they were using but have since reportedly replaced it. (Twice?)

Well, for starters, if you're using Wayland you have to use wlr-randr instead of xrandr; xrandr is for X11. Your only problem may very well have been that you were skimming outdated documentation for the wrong software.

Nobody makes or sells 32-bit systems anymore, but despite this many people make and sell 32-bit games, or (even worse) games that require a mix of 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Because of this, Wine and Proton have to also do the same thing, and the basic development culture of doing this even infected the Linux Steam client itself, which requires a mix of at least some of both types of libraries as a bridge to graphics drivers and certain system libraries. Even current 64-bit copies of Windows still keep and maintain a set of 32-bit libraries and general compatibility because Windows developers seemingly can't be arsed to figure out the difference. Gentoo made this change a couple years ago and it pretty much ended their consideration as a gaming distro overnight, and as far as I understand it, the Gentoo leadership did this specifically to isolate themselves from the gaming crowd and their contingent support requests. It would be pretty dumb for Fedora to do the same unless they were expecting the same results, but I can't speak for their leadership's intentions or awareness in this matter.

Well, unless it was sabotage. I mean, you weren't out there when it caught fire, so you don't know why it did, and neither do any of us.
