Would Larian even want the studio? The current culture inside Bioware seems to be pretty dysfunctional. I don’t see how Larian would want to take on all that baggage. Larian might not be all that interested in the IP either, since they’re currently focused on developing their own IP.

They might release nothing and get shuttered. Both of those publishers have acquired and later closed multiple studios, with no release to show for it.

You’re 10-ply bud!

Oof, yeah, that sounds painful. It does sound like some kind of hardware-related issue, maybe the default settings in the Fedora kernel are seriously aberrant when mixed with one or more of your hardware components? Given the broad range of issues (GPU, network speed, audio), I’d be inclined to suspect the problem was related somehow to something core/common like CPU or mobo. Almost certainly not a pure hardware fault, given the problems didn’t follow the hardware when you changed distros.

Sorry but I just don’t like it. Not to say I think it’s a bad distro it’s just clearly not one for me.

I totally get it. Doesn’t take much of that kind of frustration to leave a bad taste in your mouth. I had some perplexing intermittent lockup issues years ago that turned out to be BTRFS, or at least the issue went away when the VMs were rebuilt with a different root FS. I’m still leery of BTRFS, even though it was a fairly esoteric stack (SLES, ESX, NFS datastores served from a ZFS-backed storage server), so entirely possible the fault didn’t lie exclusively with the filesystem. But I still avoid it, just because I’ve been burned once.

Care to elaborate? Not saying I doubt you, it’s just the polar opposite of my experience and I’m curious why that is.

The frogurt is also cursed.

This made me ask “wait, is that true” and apparently it is. Super, skin cancer for everyone. 🤦

This is it. A 2006 Ford F150 has a hood height of 51 inches, or just over 4 feet. Getting hit by one of these would be bad, but for many people it wouldn’t likely result in a head injury. A 2026 Ford F150 has a hood height of 75 inches, or more than 6 feet tall. Getting hit by one of these as a pedestrian is practically a guaranteed head injury.

I’m sure there are other factors. Higher speeds, lack of investment in infrastructure, political unwillingness to make any changes that might increase congestion or slow down drivers. But I believe hood height is playing a huge role in the type and severity of pedestrian injuries in the US and Canada.

Why would you even do that?? Props to the medical team, and I’m happy the victim healed so well, but seems like something that just shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

Yes, the docs linked in OP’s post have this note:

Mesa 25.1.3+ minimum, 25.1.5+ recommended for proper RADV driver support.

Likely reversed because whoever edited these clips together wanted the camera to be moving consistently forward. If they didn’t reverse the middle clip it would give the impression that the camera was moving forward, then backward, then forward again. Editor probably figured most viewers would likely focus their attention on the waving flag and not notice the backwards walking. I didn’t notice until I saw your comment and rewatched the clip!

Edit: but then there’s a backwards camera move at the end, so now I’m questioning my own theory…

Definitely that, but also, are those pins not recessed or guarded?? That seems like really poor engineering. There could have been some kind of physical keying between the charger and the controller to prevent other metallic items from inadvertently bridging the contacts.

I think the short answer is that it doesn’t. VaultWarden is currently open source, and no private equity organization can put the genie back in the bottle. If things get really bad then someone would likely fork the open source bits and maintain a pure open source version, in which case there would likely be a procedure to migrate existing VaultWarden installs to the purely open source successor. I don’t think VaultWarden users need to be overly concerned at this point.

Yeah, that’s what I was referring to. For years now I’ve avoided buying RAM with anything less than a limited lifetime warranty. I would hope that manufacturers wouldn’t renege on their own warranties, but these are crazy times…

Check the warranty status! Some modules have a lifetime warranty for hardware defects. Not sure if this applies to you, but it could be an easy replacement without having to pay today’s ridiculous RAM prices.

It’s a game, heavily inspired by the mixtapes of our shared youth. Some people say it’s not a game, because it doesn’t meet their definition of “game.” Some call it a “walking simulator,” which has a pejorative connotation. I haven’t played it yet, but I plan to, critics and purists be damned.

Seconding Winboat, works great for the one piece of software I have that is stuck on Windows. At this point I am 100% not going back, I even wiped my Windows disk. That drive is for trying out other distros now.

No one knows what story she’s denying, or what images she’s claiming are fake. The most likely possibility is that someone is preparing to release a story on the links between her and Epstein. It’s standard practice in journalism to contact the subject of a piece, inform them of the contents of that piece, and offer them an opportunity to comment. A request for comment on an upcoming story seems a likely trigger for this reaction. The entire speech strikes me as a thinly veiled threat, essentially saying “If you publish your story I will sue you for defamation.”

Seems like Betteridge’s Law applies to this book’s title.
