"Shake" is scraps of cannabis plants left behind after processing it for consumption (trimming). It's less pleasant to smoke and contains less THC than the main bud, so it gets sold off in bulk or reprocessed into concentrates.

Skywind: Playing the plot of Morrowind in the Skyrim engine. Game mechanics, spells, skills, models, textures, and bugs are all going to be similar to what you have in Skyrim, give or take some modding.

OpenMW: Playing Morrowind in an open source, crossplatform game engine. You are playing the exact same game as TES III (gameplay mechanics, spells, models, textures, etc are 1:1 identical in a vanilla install) but the code behind it is less buggy, more moddable, and it provides many modern quality-of-life improvements that the original engine couldn't do.

To be pedantic, the MW in OpenMW doesn't stand for anything. It's supposed to make players think of "Open MorroWind", but only Bethesda has the right to use the name Morrowind.

Firstly, discord is entirely the wrong medium for documentation.

Secondly, documentation should be at least as accessible as the code. That is to say, if I can view the code without creating an account for some service, then I should also be able to read the documentation too.

Sorry, what's .Net again?

The runtime? You mean .Net, or .Net Core, or .Net Framework? Oh, you mean a web framework in .Net. Was that Asp.Net or AspNetcore?

Remind me why we let the "Can't call it Windows 9" company design our enterprise language?

For anyone wondering, this was done on the virtual console version, so the floating point glitch that lets you skip the climbing pole from Bowser in the fire Sea is available.

The A Button Challenge still stands for the console versions.

The scam is not downloading Signal. The scam will come later when they say "You just got the job! I will send you a check to purchase your remote work supplies".

Do not deposit the check. At all. No matter what. It is not a legitimate check. It will never be a legitimate check. No matter how real the check looks, I guarantee that no company works like this! Do not respond to them. Block their number and ignore them for the rest of your life.

What happens is: The check is fake and you deposit it. By law, your bank is required to credit your account with the check's value within a couple of days. HOWEVER: Just because your account gets credited the amount, doesn't mean the check is fully processed. The scammer will tell you to buy WFH supplies from a "trusted vendor". You are "buying" your supplies from the scammer, using the money credited to your account. Then, in 2-3 weeks, the bank will reject the check as fake. They will subtract the value from your account and you will have paid for your "supplies" using your own money. You will never receive the "supplies" or get your money back. The bank might even suspend your accound because of the fraudulent check.

A youtube channel that I follow actually released a video today about employment scams. In the section where he talks about red flags, compare them to the messages you just received. I bet you'll notice some similarities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9g-y8wVzws

Vivado is software for designing hardware on an FPGA. AMD bought out Xilinx, one of the big FPGA manufacturers, a few years back. FPGAs are basically programmable digital circuits: you configure a series of internal logic gates to represent the function of a circuit with memory, data busses, registers, gates, etc. In this fashion, an FPGA could be programmed to function like a CPU, a radio, a video encoder, or nearly any other piece of digital hardware. Very useful for hobbyists and prototyping.

The thing with FPGA software is that there are no open source alternatives. FPGAs have so many complicated blobs and signing keys and proprietary IP blocks that your only choice is to use the manufacturer's offering.

The problem with chromebooks is that the base specs are pretty shit. A lot of them have 4 GiB of RAM and maybe 16GiB of disk if you're lucky.

They were designed to be thin clients to connect students to the internet, and little else. Maybe they could be hacked into something useful, but I don't think it'll ever make a good PC. They were always destined for the landfill.

Meanwhile, the best thinkpads were quality machines back when they came out. IMO, that's why they're still so versatile today. Free software can't fix bad fundamentals.

If the execution was merely failing tasks and then revealing that the failure was planned, then I can understand why the teacher was pissed. The goal was obviously to get people talking, so if they didn't actually talk about the material on their slides then they didn't fulfill the project.

Eg: if slide 1 was revealed to be "Display a broken video" then OP should have then started talking about the importance of a broken video in a 5m presentation. Answer the question "Why is displaying a broken video important?". Talk how no presentation is complete without a technical glitch, talk about how people can test their videos before presenting, etc.

I'm not saying that the idea wasn't funny, but the goal was to present 5 minutes worth of material, not to shuffle awkwardly for 5 minutes and then reveal a joke.

This movie is so hard to talk about, because the question is: "What is it even about?"

I like movies with abstract themes and strange storytelling, but this was just incomprehensible. Its plot revolves around the machinations of rich men to control the future of their city "New Rome", but the plot is kinda meaningless. There's never any real threat to Caesar's goal. Just plot events that could be obstacles but then are immediately resolved/neutered. Ok, fine! Surely then it's an art-house piece with a deep message? The plot points must be there for the sake of a larger theme. I was waiting for everything to add up in the finale, but it just ends up with Caesar delivering a speech filled with platitudes so bland that I thought it was a joke. Then the credits rolled and the 2 of the other 5 people in the theater with me started laughing.

I'll believe that it's a contender against existing quartz movements when they lay out the production costs for their design. You can't consign discrete ticks to the dustbin of history until you can compete with a $3 SpongeBob watch from Malaysia.

There's always decksight: https://www.crowdsupply.com/shade-technik/decksight

This is exactly the same "problem" as when open-source projects started enforcing codes of conduct: Any organization is an inherently political entity and is entitled to make political decisions about who can or can't be a member of that organization.

I've seen lots of $word-$number named-accounts claiming that this "puts in jeopardy the future of open source". Fuck off. There's no evidence that these people are banned from submitting patches to the kernel, just that they've been removed from a particular role of authority within an organization.

And to the people saying "But why U trust NSA to submit patches?!"... motherfucker if you're only worrying about that now, you're many years too late. I've been told by an angel in a dream that TempleOS is still free from CIA interference.

From that same discussion thread:

We plan on supporting any token/nft/coin for tipping, awards, curating, less captchas, etc. Each subplebbit owner should be able to create their own tokens or nfts to monetize their effort and incentivize their users to participate. Avatars will also be curated NFTs.

The protocol does not use blockchain for data, but the web service itself looks like it would use crypto and NFT to manage aspects of user identity, spam prevention, and monetary incentive.

The one ring is sitting on the transporter room floor

"Mr. O'Brien, beam it into the fires! Destroy it!"

"No"

So many bad-faith arguments being made about this.

Independent of any arguments about who asked for this to happen and why: A free software project always has the right to choose which contributors it trusts and which it doesn't. I've seen no evidence that these people are banned from submitting patches due to their nationality. They've been remove from a particular role in the project due to political reasons. An organization is an inherently political entity.

Remember when codes of conduct destroyed all of free software and nothing ever got built again? Me neither. It's the same thing.

Ahh, sorry. Our prior emails accidentally got sent to a family of 4 on their way to a birthday party. We promise our next job offer won't miss!

Sounds like a pretty shit security feature. I wonder if it would keep the door open if I were to print a photo of the owner and wear it like a mask.
