RAII is the worst name they could have selected and C++ devs openly admit that. Its more SBRM, Scope Based Resource Management.

Surely the company that has been gobbling up data and information without the rights to them or any form of compensation have suddenly turned a new leaf and decided to try and pay an actress that isn't involved.

Like, lets be real here. This wouldn't be the first time they would be using material without the right to them and I don't expect this to change any time soon without a major overhaul of EVERYTHING IN THE COMPANY and even then it will probably only happen after lawsuits and fines.

Do note that Humble Bundle keys are often Steam keys provided to the developers by Steam at no extra cost IIRC.


> That is certainly the case, but seems to be perfectly legal.

I don't think its legal, considering that not too long ago even here on HN there was a post about "Pay or Okay" not being considered legal https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38458660

Some further articles/document about it:

There generally has been a major regression for both GNOME and KDE with regards to accessability with the switch to Wayland IIRC. Mostly due to the strict separation of apps and not being able to snoop eachothers windows by default.

Tho there have been major works sponsored/supported by GNOME/STF to improve the entire accessibility stack used in the Linux userspace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9psDfEFf9c


One of these is probably the recently upstream added sd_notify support, as the BSDs currently (or probably ever) dont support systemd.

But the notification mechanism isn't really systemd specific, so maybe they can make use of it somehow for something, dunno.



Yes, that is what I am talking about. This has no use for it in the in-tree openssh of BSD, so it wouldn't surprise me if this specific patch is omitted from the in-tree variant.

And if programs use GBs of data, it should usually be in /var/tmp/ as that is backed usually by an actual storage device.

WSL has been able to open graphical Linux apps for a while. They use Wayland (with FreeRDP to the Windows Host) and XWayland for X11 apps.

Fuck, in 12 hours time I can get from Germany to USA Atlanta no problem, probably still 1-2 hours extra time.


Well, that is usually refering to some form of "simulated fluid motion", not new characters appearing and disappearing. The only case where that kinda fluid motion would matter is when you have text scrolling by at semi-fast speeds.


I count myself among the people that would consider >60hz necessary.

For me, it's animations, especially if I'm dragging a window or just the mouse. On 60hz it's nauseating if I'm paying too much attention to the window I'm moving. It's goes completely away around 90-100 Hz (at least for me)


I've had the privilege of using a merely 90Hz display and the difference is still incredible. It gives me input feedback much faster so my brain does not have to do as much buffering/prediction, everything feels a lot more direct. One would think a measly 5 milliseconds wouldn't amount to much, but for input feedback it absolutely does.

I do not suffer from nausea or motion sickness of any kind arising from computers or visuals in general, but I can still easily tell the difference between a 60Hz and 90Hz display. A few months ago I had the privilege of checking out the 120Hz displays on the new MacBooks and they're amazing.


I'd still say that draggin a window would count as a "simulated fluid motion". Maybe not something you'd immediatly think of, but its still trying to convey the sense of motion. Just text appearing and dissappearing isn't something I personally could categorize ass the same type of animation.

And I also count myself as someone who considers 120 at least necessary (on the primary monitor)
