I'm so hyped about Denis Villeneuve working on the film adaptation. Too bad it's going to take a few years with how much he's got in his plate right now.

You're being obtuse. The nuance here is that Bill Gates being.a bad person and his charity org having done some good in the world are facts that are not necessarily dependent or correlated with each other. That's all. The fact that Gates might be using his org to prop his image is also a consequence of his character, and doesn't take away from the good the charity has done. Or would you rather the charity didn't exist at all just so your thirst for consistency would be appeased, all the while people would be dying?

Same. At this point I think he probably did it more to indulge those who wanted that to happen than actually wanting or caring about it.

Wooosh isn't a reddit thing though. I used to see it regularly way back in the slashdot days.

Not quite "steal", but they removed license and attribution information, which is a no-no and license infringement for sure.

But yeah, this is all of no consequence.

Edit: I just read DacoTaco's post below. Looks like there was no direct code liftup from RTEMS then, so I guess it's even more of a fuss over nothing.

At its peak, sure. But I mean, how many people do you know who still have a Wii and actually uses it? I happen to have one and it's actually plugged into my TV, but even I rarely play it.

I keep tabs from afar, and the only activity I can see in the homebrew scene is the revival of some online games (by bringing up custom/reverse-enginnered servers + patching the games, e.g. Mario Kart, Call of Duty Black Ops, etc.), but other than that, the homebrew scene on the Wii is mostly dead.

It hasn't received an official release in almost 10 years, so who cares. It probably has been feature complete longer than that, on a console that at this point is almost twice as old with a miniscule community.

Have you read the PR linked above? The submitter points out (when the maintainer starts getting defensive) that Zen has more social trackers whitelisted than Firefox (not even Librewolf). Which going only by that metric would put Zen as the least privacy-focused browser among the other forks, contradicting their own tagline.

Linux can read and write to NTFS drives just fine. Just make sure you're using the newer native (in-kernel) driver, ntfs3. The older user-mode driver, ntfs-3g, still works but has much worse performance, which I guess should be a concern if you're going to run games off of it (ntfs-3g is fine for casual use)

Barrier has been abandoned quite awhile ago. Its successor is supposed to be InputLeap, and although their GitHub repo is very active, they have yet to make a release.

I didn't even know that Synergy provided a "community" version of their app until very recently. I've paid for a license many years ago, so I've been using their 1.1x versions, which for better or worse, are still maintained along with the 3.x branch (which I've tried using but could never make it work, which is for the best because the fact they pivoted their UI to electron-based also left a bad taste in my mouth).

Edit: also, if I understand correctly, Synergy's latest versions on the 1.x branch borrows a lot from InputLeap.

Not a variant. Read their README. It IS Synergy, they're renaming the open-source / community version to that, while Synergy will remain the commercial product built out of that.
