Civilization? That would surprise me. Are you sure you’re not thinking of one of its sequels?

That makes sense.

It has some font size controls in Settings: Configure Akregator: Appearance: Font Size. I think these sliders apply to the article bodies.

It uses built-in style sheets for the size of other text, like headings, so changing that probably requires the program to be recompiled. In case you have those skills and want to make those changes, have a look in this file: src/formatter/html/style.css

2. Beginning on the date a digital game operator ceases to provide services necessary for the ordinary use of the digital game, the operator shall provide the purchaser with one or more of the following:

   (A) A version of the digital game that can be used by the purchaser independent of services controlled by the operator.

   (B) A patch or update to the purchaser’s version of the digital game that enables its continued use independent of services controlled by the operator.

   (C) A refund in an amount equal to the full purchase price paid for the digital game by the purchaser.

Interesting. This one looks more powerful than most attempts I’ve seen.

One of my key questions is addressed in the FAQ:

Hard link or symlink? What about a Mo2 style vfs?

• They all achieve the same goal but each comes with downsides
• Hard links can be loaded fast and take up no space, However when the source file is removed the hard link is removed which can cause issues. The hard linked file must also be on the same drive as the source file. They also look like normal files and report as taking up space which can cause confusion
• Symlinks can be created between drives and are distinguishable from normal files. Removing the source file stops the symlink from working but the symlinked file still shows as a symlink and can be easily removed. The downside of these are they much worse than hard links when playing with large modlists as they take longer to load. The manager allows you to freely swap between both methods and symlinks may be fine for smaller modlists.
• Mo2 style vfs (FUSE and overlayfs): These have the benefit of not moving any files to the game directory. I have added both of these to a test build, Neither provided any real benefit over hardlink/symlink and caused more issues than it was worth.

What was the trouble with Akregator? I think recent versions have dark mode, and older versions could be made dark with the right style sheets applied.

It’s not a perfect fit for me, but it works well enough that I stopped hunting for something better.

Does this one have some advantage over !linux@programming.dev or !linux@sopuli.xyz or !linux@lemmy.zip or !linux@linux.community or !linux@sh.itjust.works ?

I wish Klei hadn’t sold out to Tencent.

Highlights

• Low neighborhood opportunity was associated with higher CDKN2A expression.
• CDKN2A is a key marker of cellular senescence and biological aging.
• Associations were strongest for social and economic opportunity.
• Results are consistent with models of socially patterned aging.

This post fails rule 4 as well. Except maybe for the handful of people who have been completely out of touch with world events for the past year.

If you had read the post, you would know they have good reason for maintaining a presence on toxic platforms.

Seems like they could be experimenting with an LLM to improve server-side anti-cheat.

Unfortunately, some misguided (or possibly malicious) people collect email forwarding domains like these and publish them in lists dishonestly advertised as spam or disposable address lists. An unfortunate number of service developers have taken to using these lists, leading to the situation you’re in now.

The best suggestions I can offer:

• Complain to the administrators of each site that does this, making sure to explain why it’s a problem. There’s a chance that some of them honestly don’t realize that legitimate forwarding domains are being swept up into a dragnet intended for spammers, and might stop using those lists if they were made aware.
• When choosing a forwarding service, pick one offering domain names that haven’t been picked up by the blacklists. This might require non-default settings when creating a forwarding address, or paying for access to the more obscure domains.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been keeping MX Linux in the back of my mind as a possible Debian alternative if I ever need one.

they aren’t letting me post this testimonial in the MX forum because it doesn’t accept anon-aliased emails for logins.

Ouch. That’s a red flag for me, since it forces people to expose themselves to spam and tracking if they want to participate in the community. Which alias service did they reject? Maybe there’s one that doesn’t trigger their rule?

That laughably understates the RAM required for Windows to be useful.

It seems like at worst it would be an os reinstall

It depends. Some malware would not be removed by an OS reinstall.

A few examples are mentioned here:

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/03/unkillable-uefi-malware-bypassing-secure-boot-enabled-by-unpatchable-windows-flaw/

id Software, Valve and 3D Realms included their SDKs on the disk. All the way back in the 90’s they gave players the same tools they used to build the game. Any game that descends from Doom, all the way into the Source engine, store their assets in .wad files.

Those were not the first modded games.

In any case, you’ve already made it clear that you disagree. That’s fine, but it doesn’t make your view the defining one.

And it’s not just web development.

This mindset has been spreading for… probably decades. Nowadays, it is even pushed by certain popular programming languages, by including a toolchain that makes it as easy as possible to pull in third-party dependencies while offering a standard library so minimal that a developer is strongly encouraged to rely on said dependencies.

This inevitably leads to a world where software supply chain attacks have massive reach and high chances of success. And threat actors take advantage of it, of course.
