It's okay, everybody relax. I'm here.

Perhaps the full subtlety of her argument is not coming through in this report, because it sure looks like the operative legal theory is that whatever Israel does is by definition good and therefore not illegal.

(Apparently it's Dave Cutler, who wikipedia reminds me is the crazy VMS guy "known for his disdain for Unix." Apologies to both of them.)

Is that Donald Knuth? If so, "three guys taking a photo with Donald Knuth" might be a better title.

True enough — but for those few who enjoy such things I must point out that debian makes kernel builds very easy to do. When mesa gets too old there will usually be a backport.

After posting I instantly thought about whether I should've added to that last sentence "... in any society with a modicum of respect for liberty."

Sounds like a good way to hone your horoscope-writing skill.

Come on debian, maybe we can make it back into the top 5 when trixie gets an official release.

Paid and freeware but either way non-free, unfortunately.

No surprise that it's often blocked in China. The most damning thing I see there is that they use twitter and facebook, which does seem to be true.

As far as I can tell from what's reported there it's empty rhetoric based on nothing concrete. It's presumably more effective in Italian.

I mean it's better than nothing I guess but that is not what I'd call "freely available." In addition to requiring that you use their shitty online viewer, it appears to require users to sign in to an account even to do that. It's directly admitted on the website that they make it unusable in this way specifically because they rely on the revenue from selling real access to people who need it.

Enhancer for YouTube is gone (discourse.mozilla.org)
 

Yet another popular extension has disappeared under mysterious circumstances. It seems that its author might have requested its removal, but if so then even in that case the longstanding Mozilla policy of telling its users absolutely nothing about what happened applies.

It happened a month ago but it took me this long to notice since the feature I like best only recently stopped working. It's the sort of thing that requires periodic updates to keep up with changes to the youtube UI.

Does anyone know of another extension that can automatically resize the youtube player to fill the browser window? Or, for that matter, the invidious one?

I've spent most of my gaming time for the past year gradually applying more and more mods to Skyrim, and finally got around to trying Chanterelle last week.

It doesn't have much in the way of quests or npc dialogue, but everything it does have is top quality. Lots of wilderness to explore, a couple of dungeons to crawl. Somehow the landscapes feel more realistic than most of Skyrim. Recommended for those who enjoy walking around in the woods. There are many wonders to discover. Next new game I'm going to try starting there.

It allows older versions of Skyrim to handle files with the new plugin version number. Removes any temptation I might've had to install the update any time soon.

If you reverted to 1.6.640 for example and it was still crashing (as some reported) it's probably because they snuck a new .esl file in that you didn't notice, and this mod should fix that as well.

Even if we never get another Elder Scrolls game worthy of its legacy, Skyrim modding will continue.

 

In the unending quest to extract money from the mod scene, an update has arrived. Make sure to take a backup before you next launch the game from Steam. There's already a new release of SKSE but who knows what else might be freshly broken.

 

I've only just started my career as a bard, but playing the flute badly any time I want to is the most fun I've had in Skyrim for years. I don't know how much more there is to this mod, but I'm already sure it's among the best.
