Didn't they start using cloudflare to protect against constant ddos attacks causing downtime? Out of both options, having downtime from external servers failing is less of a headache to the admins (they are volunteers, this is the most important factor) than having downtime from internal servers failing.

The girl on the left transitioned 9 hours after moving into the city. The girl on the right is saying this is a regular occurrence.

(Might be unrelated but the 2 people look like they're from the new pokemon game, I haven't played it so I might be wrong)

What is your favorite version of FTL in science fiction?

What I like about FTL is how it works with the story.

My favourite examples are Elite Dangerous and Dune.

Elite Dangerous's FTL tech is based on alien tech and that allows the developers to do cool stuff that you wouldn't expect in an mmo (this is usually a loading screen so when this first started happening people were terrified).

And Dune's idea of having the entirety of interstellar civilisation dependent on one substance that can only be made on one planet, which also has other uses extremely important to different groups, sets the stage perfectly for what happens in the books.

Valve amended the Steam survey for December 2025 - Linux actually hit another all-time high

As someone who semi-recently made the jump (june) to linux, you need a lot of time to do it, even for something that would seem trivial to an experienced user like going to mint. Most people don't have the time to do something like that. New systems built by curious nerds will probably be where linux gets most of its new users. (so it's a shame no one can afford to build one)

Hey there fellow pepperhead! Our legal team is not super excited about this tweet. The opinions on your account are not representative of the Dr Pepper brand of products, and we kindly ask that you take this post down immediately.

Who am I speaking with? I will negotiate with Dr Pepper and Dr pepper only.

Hey there - Dr Pepper is not a real individual, and thus would not be available to speak with you. I would be happy to connect you with our head of in-counsel, John Barbe, if you would like to speak about this further.
