8·1 day agoRampage (1986) comes to mind, but (minor) enemies are present and I don’t think it applies damage in layers.

131·3 days agoA You Should Know post is generally expected to offer little-known information, mainly the kind that can significantly improve many people’s quality of life. What you have posted here is widely known and trivial, and therefore fails both criteria.
It would be a better fit in Today I learned. (But not much better, because pointing out the existence of an old, well-documented, basic software feature is not the least bit interesting.)
The article talks about cattle, but these things infest humans, too.
27·5 days ago- He described new C “guards” and scoped locks inspired by Rust
In other words, the improved safety will sometimes come from Rust code, and sometimes from C code. The important point being that safer practices are becoming more common now that Rust has called attention to them.
21·7 days agoThe word naphtha comes from Latin through Ancient Greek (νάφθα), derived from Middle Persian naft (“wet”, “naphtha”), the latter meaning of which was an assimilation from the Akkadian 𒉌𒆳𒊏 napṭu (see Semitic relatives such as Arabic نَفْط nafṭ [“petroleum”], Syriac ܢܰܦܬܳܐ naftā, and Hebrew נֵפְט neft, meaning petroleum)
12·7 days agoThis is extremely dangerous command! If anything goes wrong for whatever reason and the variable $tempdir is empty at the time of this command, then it would delete everything.
And this danger is not merely theoretical. Steam for Linux did it in 2015.

0·8 days agoMatrix is… really crashed and often breaks.
Matrix is a protocol. It’s not possible to crash it.
I did find that certain Matrix implementations had a habit of breaking when encryption was used, until about a year ago. From what I’ve seen, recent versions appear to have fixed it. Element X is worth a try.
Back to your original question: Matrix apparently supports whatever UnifiedPush distributor you choose, such as ntfy.

Unfortunately, license plates are but a small fraction of what these things can capture. Your face, gait, and voice, for example.
Time for the usual troubleshooting steps:
- Have you Checked for errors in the log output of…
- Steam?
- Proton?
- The game?
- What changed on your system between the last time WoW worked properly and the first time it didn’t?
- OS update?
- Kernel?
- Drivers?
- Proton update?
- Steam update?
- Game update?
- Battle.net update?
- OS update?
- Are you watching for other people discussing the same problem?
Blizzard has a recurring history of making changes to Games and Battle.net that break in Wine. When this happens, workarounds can sometimes be found (such as reverting to a prior Battle.net version), but a real fix often requires waiting a few weeks or months for Proton to adapt. It happened roughly once per year when I was last playing their games.
Good luck.

Another thought: Are you running Wine in a container of any kind? If so, have you given it access to your /dev/hidraw* devices? I have seen behavior like you describe when a game was unable to access them (but was able to access /dev/input/*).
If the game ignores the disabled state that you applied in Wine’s controller config, I wonder if it’s using SDL for input. In that case, you might try exporting an environment variable telling SDL to ignore the controller.

Thanks, Steam.

I can see how someone might feel that way depending on their background, but it’s not necessarily so.
Of course, understanding that likely requires experience with certain kinds of consensual power dynamic, which not everyone has. I suppose that makes the scene’s direction a bit of a risk in how the audience will interpret it.
From Wikipedia:
Ridley Scott’s Final Cut (2007, 117 minutes) or the 25th-Anniversary Edition, briefly released by Warner Bros. Pictures theatrically on October 5, 2007 and then released on DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray in December 2007 (UK December 3; US December 18) is the only version over which Ridley Scott had artistic control, as the Director’s Cut production did not place Scott in charge.
So I prefer the Final Cut when it’s available, or any other cut without the voice-over.
While looking for ways an individual can fight these laws, this site came up:

I haven’t vetted it yet. Does anyone know if it’s endorsed by a trustworthy organization? (For example, have some proof/confirmation that their list of affiliates and partners is legitimate?)
I don’t see any such comment. I guess federation could be lagging.
