Absolute Scrub & Perpetual Noob
I've recently seen plenty of Linux gamers get excited about DXVK and it is an interesting technology. However, you should remember that buying Windows games to play with it doesn't really help Linux gaming. "No Tux No Bux" is still the most reliable way to support the platform and make sure it develops on all levels.

Pro tip: it's okay to cut toxic assholes out of your project.
No one in the world is so uniquely skilled that someone else can't do the same work, and "but they're working for free" isn't a meaningful argument when there are people desperate to get into open-source coding who'd gladly do the same.
Core 3 really hates my guts right now
@rainmaker - @dallas_hackers was pumping wasn’t it! 110 folks showed up. 2 zero days dropped. And a shit ton of great talks.
It was good to see you there!
Tinkering around with some #malware at a client's today. Something they've been battling with for a while. I was thinking of doing a talk at @dallas_hackers but I think somebody covered almost exactly the same thing last night. PowerShell running PowerShell decoding base64 encoded DLLs and injecting into memory. #infosec
I reject Facebook as a default information dissemination platform.
Fun fact: Windows versions went directly from Windows 8 to Windows 10 because when software detects what version of Windows you're running, an awful lot of it uses "Windows 9*" to identify Windows 95/98.

Windows: let's use a proprietary database format people need a GUI to manage and complicated scripts to automate
Unix: how about like, text files
Gnome: hey how about a proprietary database format people need a GUI...
Developers:
Friend to friend: When you make a release please take a few minutes to make a human-readable changelog of what has changed since the last release?
Your commit-messages are not a changelog.
Let me re-iterate:
Your commit-messages are _not_ a changelog.
A changelog allows me to follow what you were thinking between releases.
A commit log shows me your keystrokes between releases.
I need to know what you were thinking.
Thank you.
If there's one thing I can't stand; it's people who make you feel like shit because you scored 3 points less than them in a class.
Ooh, that Palo Alto Full Disclosure from last year, Unauthenticated Root Remote Code Execution, is now in Metasploit.

Call me out of touch but I'm not in the loop about people saying to not use Medium. What's the problem with Medium? There some kind of sensorship on Medium happening that I've missed?
Hey everyone! As you might know already, a.weirder.earth suffered a catastrophic hardware failure, taking us down for about 2 weeks and forcing us to move to a completely new instance.
A lot of us (myself included) didn't back up our follows either. So we're very much on square one.
How you can help:
- Contribute to #ff (follow friday) tomorrow. Everyone could do with the follow suggestions.
- Check your follows. If anyone is from 'a.weirder.earth', refollow them on 'weirder.earth'.
Thanks!
Using vim is like...
When I get a good parking spot that I know everyone wants I like to sit there for a few minutes reveling in my king of the hill status.
Ok, so looking for specific and serious answers on this topic only:
I need to replace my laptop.
I want something like a high-range Dell Inspiron.
What make/models are similar to _high_ range inspirons?
I will be dual-booting a small Win 10 partition to use some very niche stuff like expensive quilting software I already own and Linux Mint for most of my use.
I want decent processing, etc.
No, not a Mac. Yes I need Windows 10 a wee bit.
Please boost, please reply in good faith thanks!
