    Nobody is learning Mandarin. Not even the Chinese! LOL

    They’re all relying on automatic translation and even the Chinese are using speech recognition to enter characters on their phones. The written language is rapidly being forgotten.

    …which is the destiny of all pictographic and logographic languages so it shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing, necessarily 🤷





  • China produces more solar panels every year than the rest of the world combined. But it’s still not enough.

    There’s just too many Chinese people! Too much manufacturing. Too much of everything in China.

    China is huge but there’s still not enough space to grow food for all those people so they have to import loads and loads of it just to feed everyone. They’re well on their way to putting solar panels everywhere they can but any space that has food growing potential is a no-panel zone.

    They also lack the infrastructure to transport solar energy across the nation. It’s another thing they’re working on… So even if they cover a huge area of unlivable desert with solar panels they don’t have the means to get that power where it’s needed.


  • Could be a bug in Nautilus though it’s so mature now that would be strange. I’d report it to their repo (don’t have the link and I’m on my phone but it should be easy to find).

    ext4 supports various filename encodings (simultaneously, even!) but sometimes when you copy a file from one destination to another in a batch with mixed encodings you can end up with situations like this. Especially from within a GUI.

    Does the problem occur when you copy each file one by one or only in batch?



  • Excellent defense: “You sent me the packets revealing where all the other players were. If you didn’t want me to know they were behind walls why did you tell me precisely where they were?”

    Yeah, doing such checks on the server side of things is more computationally intensive but it would solve that problem entirely and you wouldn’t need client-side anti-cheat bullshit anymore.

    The first rule of network programming is never trust the client. How does anti-cheat software work? By trusting the client.
