It might have been nice to have Mint 23 out closer to the totally-for-real-this-time end of Windows 10 updates in October, but it takes as long as it takes, I suppose.
The articles says Mint 23 will include “Cinnamon 6.7-unstable”, and I hope that’s just what it currently is, and not that it’s expected to still be unstable in December.
And yet somehow the part where there are active MLB players who share names with Cold Play’s lead singer and Carlos Santana is not wrong.
The site’s British, maybe this is the King’s English?
In February 2024, Disney invested $1.5 billion to acquire an equity stake in Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite, as part of a multi-year project to build a new games and entertainment universe.
An outright acquisition of Epic would be a second attempt at the same ambition, only this time with a company Disney has already paid $1.5 billion to understand.
The article’s headline is wrong or misleading. Disney isn’t looking at buying Epic for $1.5b, that’s what they’ve already invested in Epic. There is no mention of a proposed acquisition price in the article.
Here’s a CBC article with context
The premier made the comments a day after federal Defence Minister David McGuinty said Canada is considering sending vessels and cyber expertise to help secure the Strait of Hormuz if a ceasefire is reached.
Kinew said Canada has prided itself in promoting human rights across the world and that taking steps to end the war would be acting according to those values.
I’ve claims they use eMMC, which is flash memory. Closer to SD card grade than SSD, but SD card prices are up too.
An opmist would say that it is $70 game and they are adding a $10 discount for buying it digitally. A pessimist would say that it is a $60 game and there is a $10 fee for the plastic cartridge.
With the price of flash memory going up, they’re definitely charging a fee for the cartridge.

It’s one step toward addressing the laws, but systemd isn’t going to implement the remaining steps to have actual age verification.
Login with Calculator: For when you don’t remember your PIN but you remember how you came up with it
The birth date field that was added can be used by age verification processes, but it’s not age verification itself.
I wonder how many people freaking out over this field have even looked at what other fields are on that user record. The realName field could be used to dox you! ICE and the CIA are interested in your location! Those fields have about the same level of enforcement as the new one, i.e. you can just lie.
How much video information does a project file even have though? Like, if it’s just instructions for editing together the video clips, that aren’t even being uploaded, that doesn’t seem very useful for AI training.
The program now requires video projects to be saved to Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud storage service in order to continue editing them, reports Windows Latest.
According to Microsoft, the media files themselves (such as video clips and images) don’t necessarily need to be synced to the cloud.
This is less shitty than I expected. Forcing people to put videos and images in OneDrive could have pushed them towards paying for more OneDrive space, but if it’s just the project file I’m not even sure why Microsoft made the change. Are Clipchamp project files big?
The Notepad getting junk added is a Microsoft Store app. The old notepad.exe is still usable.
Well you’ve got me imagining fitting a woman into a project like a Tetris piece.
I can’t remember if it was at university or a job, but there was a server named ‘borg’ and on there localhost really would have been borg.
So after all that, Epic just got the commission cut by 1/3? Wonder how long it’ll take their savings to equal what they spent on legal fees and the revenue they missed while Fortnite wasn’t on the Play Store.
edit: Ars’ coverage says attorneys’ fees were included in the settlement, so I guess Epic only needs to make up the missed revenue.
This time around, a dedicated NPU would be required, a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks.
Releasing an OS that requires an NPU when Intel and AMD are only this year starting to ship desktop CPUs that even have an NPU seems very aggressive.
This is especially handy on immutable Linux distros like Bazzite in cases where your provider’s client is only officially available as a .deb or .rpm and you don’t want to get in to layering.
