Thanks for sharing this. This gives me vibes of Project High rise/Sim Tower crossed with a colony game like Utopia. Definitely going to give it a try, never even heard about it before.

Edit: Been playing this today on Steam for a few hours (playing on Linux using proton); it's a delightful and enjoyable game. It's got the right mix of complexity and fun gameplay so far, and is a chill experience. I can see big cities could get a bit more frantic to manage.

I'm surprised it's been out since 2022 (and previously older versions on Itch.io) and only has 200ish reviews - this game deserves more attention. It's a complete game, is fun and well made. It's not going to be a blockbuster, but anyone who likes management games, colony sim games and tower building games like Sim Tower or Project Highrise should give it a go; it's a nice fusion of them.

It's more on the casual/chill end of the colony sim spectrum to be clear - it doesn't have the punishing elements of games like Oxygen Not Included or the combat/story elements of Rim World. But that's not to suggest it's a casual game - there is definitely depth here. It's a little gem all of it's own.

So far. Absolute failure rates is chips that are clearly non-functional and returned, so the builder is able to country it. The issue with the Intel chips is an inherent flaw that seems to affect all the chips but only manifests when the chip is pushed beyond a certain point. And up to now people have for example been blaming poorly coded software, while Intel gas been downplaying the issue.

This is an apples and oranges situation - its not about the absolute failure rate of chips which always occurs; this appears to be a fundamental additional issue for Intel's chips that people may not even realise they have been experiencing.

I suspect the other big consideration is the IP. When they made BG3, the IP had lain dormant for years and D&D wasn't a priority for Hasbro.

Larian made a hugely successful game and Hasbro sat up and has started talking about how its going to push forward with the IP. The terms for BG4 are probably not as favourable for Larian (maybe they weren't great for BG3). That may be worse revenue split and may also be much more direction and involvement of the IP holder restricting creativity.

Why would Larian expend all that creative effort again on someone else's IP? They can chose what they do next and it will get attention as they are the studio behind the biggest game of 2023. Probably makes sense from the studios perspective not to do BG3, and go back to developing their own IP. And the industry is littered with failed studios screwed over by big publishers or IP holders - I think Larian are very sensible to move on.

Polybar works on KDE, it's not restricted to Tiling WMs like i3. You can add it to your Autostart apps in KDE either directly with arguments or a simple shell script to run multiple custom bars.

Edit: This blog post I found shows an example of a similar tiled end result in KDE with Polybar (but with a very different colour scheme) https://blog.rishikumar.dev/posts/plasma_polybar/

The left axis is average number of ratings per app. As all rating except the 3 month, 6 month etc lines have dropped then to me this suggests there has been an explosion in the number of apps in the database.

The more apps, means more smaller apps with frwer user ratings so the lower the average number of ratings per app overall would be?

Probably Obama's endorsement which finally shut down the prospects of a contested primary.

The Dems got into the mess with Biden because they wouldn't test him with an actual open primary process. Not having a contest for Harris may be pragmatic but it may dog the party in the future. If she loses then there will be recriminations. And if she wins they will have to think about what they do in 2028 - does she get a free pass again or does the party get a say? Do all those ambitious contenders step aside again?

Problems for another day. I think the dems are doing the right thing in coronating Harris now as they have been left with no choice. But they really need to think about what happens with sitting presidents and the primaries - waving Biden through was disasterous, and him dragging his feet on steeping down shut down all other options. I have very little respect left for Biden - he did the right thing but took far too long to do it, risking everything.

I wouldn't worry, they're no longer able to search reddit but the good stuff is old. Reddit has gone to shit, and this is just another step on its way down.

Nah I think this is just another example of Elon Musk being impulsive and not thinking through the consequences of his statements.

He can't actually afford $45m a month. His wealth is in Tesla shares (which are difficult to draw done further both while he continues to try to fleece the company with an absurd pay package and also can't risk destabilising the share price - its something of a house of cards with its value largely based on the future possibility of a flawed self drive tech) and Twitter (which took $20bn of his actual liquid assets and then debt and which he is running into the ground).

Also he may be realising the PR mistake of backing trump when he runs an electric car company that is losing market share and valued speculatively rather than actual financials.

His focus is really gettingnas much out of Tesla as hebcan before the markets turn on it.

This whole story is just PR bullshit and spin by Microsoft.

They're trying to draw attention away from the major problem: that they are a monopoly and with Crowdstrike they're forming a duopoly for their customerbase which has caused great over reliance and vulnerability in global systems and services.

Microsoft are trying to preempt the solution to this problem - opening up access further for competitors so companies have viable choices for cloud based platforms and services if they use Microsoft windows.

The problem was not that Microsoft has to give access so competitors are able to develop security products. Its that anti-competitive behaviour has caused homogenous systems for big companies allowing a point failure that has caused massive financial damage.

MacOS is not really relevant in this - this is about cloud services and platforms so Microsoft, Amazon and Google.

The Microsoft PR and Legal department are on this, trying to spin them as the victims.

Fuck Microsoft, this is their fault. Theur monopoly and anti competitive pragroce has made it worse. They need more intervention to force open their system and allow other vendors to be able to offer viable alternatives.

We wouldn't have had such chaos is we didn't have so many companies stuck depending on a duopoly of Microsoft and Crowdstrike.

It's a configuration error in Grub.

This has guidance on how to fix Grub; the 3rd answer on the page is the most comprehensive on how to fix this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/397485/what-to-do-when-i-get-an-attempt-to-read-or-write-outside-of-disk-hd0-error?noredirect=1&lq=1
