Violating a core programming tenet right off the bat. I wonder how much money Activision payed for this software...

Calendar as plaintext is cursed.

This headline is terrible. Why would they quote the weird metaphor instead of paraphrasing what it actually means in context?

They took "f*** the police" too literally.

That kernel level anti-cheat is really working out well, eh?

How such generic features are even awarded patents is beyond me. None of these are even remotely exclusive to Pokemon or Palworld.

EDIT The grossest thing about this is that these patents were all filed this year, meaning they were filed with the exclusive intention of building a case against Palworld. There really is no level to which Nintendo won't stoop.

I have this issue too, and I figured out a workaround. Deleting the files manually via rm frees up space. Deleting files via qBittorrent via UI or automatically does not.

Turns out the files were just being moved to a ".Trash-UID" (where UID is the UID of the container) folder in the /downloads directory (or wherever that folder is mapped to on your host). Clearing that out freed up the space.

I suspect this is a bug where the "Delete files permanently" setting is not being respected. You might want to set up a cron job to delete that folder periodically in the meantime.

Petulant narcissist answers criticism with threats of violence.

Now that Google isn’t allowed to pay them default search engine money, I think this was expected.

Ideologically I think it’s a good thing the US government is challenging Google’s monopolistic practices. Unfortunately, that money was a massive percentage of Mozilla’s income.

It really was short-sighted of them to put so many eggs into one basket.

This is nice, but wouldn't it make more sense to work with the Linux kernel so their drivers work on any distro?

I'm sure he'll manage to destroy himself regardless.

Neat! I should dust it off again. 🐧
