New York Times tech workers threaten Election Day strike
  • From nbcnews

    The [tech] guild says it has been fighting for a contract to secure better wages, hours, benefits and job security, as well as foster diversity, equity and inclusion among the organization’s workforce.

    The guild has accused Times management of not bargaining in good faith and making inflammatory decisions, like firing employees without just cause and limiting bargaining time in an effort to delay an agreement.

    Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages
  • Easy Anti Cheat - requires manual removal

    Wait, so this sketchy, privacy-invading stuff remains even after a game is uninstalled?! I had no idea.

    How is this stuff not classed as malware at this point?

    I was gifted an unopened pack of 3.5" floppy disks. What should I do with them? (wrong answers only)
  • You’ll want to download and install the most up-to-date drivers. I believe this model benefits from a slight overclock too, so maybe look at purchasing a decent aftermarket cooler

    Is this a Nut?
  • C++: Nuh, uh ...

    template <typename T>
    concept Crackable = requires(T obj) {
        { obj.crack() };
    };
    
    auto crack(Crackable auto& nut) {
        nut.crack();
    }

    Has anyone been able to play totally accurate battlegrounds?
  • If you're using Steam then you could try adding PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to your launch options for the game. This will output a log file into $HOME/steam-$APPID.log ($APPID will probably be 823130 in this case). This log file might show why the game isn't starting. You could even post this log file here as a pastebin link to see if anyone can help diagnose if you're unable to see anything obvious.

    Shadow Cast: GPU accelerated screen and audio recording for Linux
  • Thank you for your kind words!

    I haven’t made the jump to Wayland yet. I basically live in the terminal (when I’m not playing games!) so haven’t been in any rush. I definitely want to support Wayland going forward because it seems everyone has switched but me!

    GPU accelerated screen and audio recording for Linux - GitHub - gmbeard/shadow-cast: GPU accelerated screen and audio recording for Linux

    I created Shadow Cast after becoming disillusioned with the lack of simple, performant display recording utilities for X11. All feedback welcome.
