    As one of the few BMW drivers that keeps his blinkerfluid topped up I upvoted this. So annoying if people don’t use a blinker, especially when they leave roundabouts and keep the traffic that wants to enter waiting for nothing. It takes zero effort to use a blinker, people who refuse to use them are just lazy selfish pieces of shit.



  • It moves the value of register (a CPU memory cell) rbx to register rax. It’s not that important though.

    Basically the comic shows that the CPU is happily chugging along, executing instructions when suddenly the keyboard sends an interrupt telling the CPU it must stop all work and listen to whatever it has to say.

    That was how keyboards worked before USB (back when they used PS/2 or DIN connectors). With USB it’s the other way around: the device gets polled X times per second to check if it has any data to send.

    So is comparing a Microsoft bug to the highlight of the Apollo project and conveniently ignoring all the setbacks that both led up to and followed it.

    I don’t mind bashing Microsoft where warranted, but this just feels like cherry picking from a long list of technical and procedural failures.







  • I’m using the latest GE Proton as well, installed Battle.net through the New Game/App dialog. Just found out that Battle.net does start, but it simply never shows a dialogue and therefore there is no way to interact with it. No taskbar item as well of course.

    Solving vague issues with Linux systems is already a big part of my day job and last week was pretty rough, so basically the choice boils down to :

    • Spend energy I honestly do not have on whipping Faugus into shape.
    • Keep using a working Lutris setup, even though it is AI slop.

    Neither appeal to me at the moment. 😞

    Edit: the irony, just as I was about to give up an update for Faugus appeared, installed it and Battle.net now runs fine. 🎉
