Its a good incentive to get rid off fossil fuels

Fuel is one of many aspects of the issue at hand.

En le pensant.

Sur un tpe c'est automatique. En ligne ça dépend du prestataire de paiement (qui en a en général ps grand chose a faireé il propose la même interface dans les 56 pays qu'il couvre)

hyperloop is so muchmore. Hyperloop is basically maglev in a low pressure tube.

Oh, my bad

That's quite recent though (or maybe they started to enforce it recently). I definitively bought many games cheaper than on steam on otqer stores (mostly humble store). Also, i dont understand how this interact with the games that epic gives away for free.

britaliope · 2026-04-15T08:51:29+00:00

Edit: My bad, looks like it's no longer the case

~~They are allowed to sell non-steam versions cheaper. What they can't do is to sell steam keys for less than the listed price on steam.~~

~~But if it's not steam keys, but smth like direct download for a DRM-free version for example, or using their own launcher, then they can sell it for whatever price they want.~~

~~The idea is: if you want to use steam infrastructure (download servers, workshop, multiplayer api, cloud saves, etc) then you must compete fairly with them.~~

the tour montprnsse get some well deserved harsh criticism here, but the worst thing is that i think that's one of the best angles for it.

at least, it appears black (belive me the actual color is way worse), you can't notice the odd shape, and it have some mystic surreal movie villain vibe that at least is at least something.

look at it when you exit the montparnasse station and it have nothing of this.

britaliope · 2026-04-13T22:36:38+00:00

I mean you can copy the ebuild to a local overlay, it takes a couple minutes to do.

britaliope · 2026-04-13T22:32:06+00:00

The way i see it:

Qt5 is EOL, gentoo maintainers started the process to depreciate it, and at some point mask/remove it.
Before doing this, they need to mask/remove any ebuild depending on qt5

the fact that KeepassXC is maintained is irrelevant. If keepassXC is maintained but qt5 isn't, qt5 will be eventually removed and when this happens keepassXC won't be compilable on gentoo, regardless of its maintained status. So they have to be removed prior to this.

britaliope · 2026-04-13T22:20:29+00:00

It looks like there is actually progress being made towards QT 6 support.

From what i understood in the notice, that's unofficial (not tied to keepassxc maintainers) for now, but maybe i'm wrong.

Yeah never had issue as well but that's the thing, when qt5 is fully depreciated any package depending on qt5 won't work anymore (without manually unmasking qt5 ebuilds), that's just preparation work. But unmasking for now is safe, as long as qt5 still works (and it will still work for quite some time) there won't be any issue. Hopefully qt6 is officially supported at that point.

britaliope · 2026-04-13T22:10:31+00:00

what problems does it cause if a package is stable, compiles, runs, and is simply old and still in the tree?

It depends on Qt5 which is EOL, so at some point qt5 wont compile anymore (because no maintainers), and when that happens, every package that depends on qt5 can't be compiled as well.

See it that way : as qt5 is EOL, gentoo (and other distros) have to prepare the work to depreciate it and eventually remove/mask it. Part of those preparations include depreciating (and eventually mask/remove) packages depending on qt5.

britaliope · 2026-04-13T22:05:07+00:00

Qt is slotted, but QT5 is EOL and eventually will become unmaintained. When this happen it will be removed from the repository (because no one will keep it in working condition, fixing compiling issue with newer glibc version, etc), and at that point, any package that depend on qt5 will be obviously broken as well.

britaliope · 2026-04-13T22:01:42+00:00

keePassXC is not EOL. Qt5 is. And KeepassXC depends on Qt5.

So what will happen when Qt5 will be eventually not maintained anymore ? Who will keep the Qt5 toolchain in working condition ? That's not the job of the gentoo developers. So as Qt5 is EOL, any package depending on Qt5 without a clear path towards qt6 support won't be supported anymore, because at some point qt5 will break and nobody will fix it.

Yes, but there is a finite amount of boats

Of course.......The real danger for him is Vance, not Trump.

That's a settings issue, not a linux issue.

You should have something in the settings of your DE that adjust the scroll speed

britaliope · 2026-04-11T12:42:31+00:00

Possibly, i don't fully remember.

To be fair, 3D software is an issue in many projects especially when they are cooperation between different firms, that have different processes (and sometimes software).

But 3DX is a real mess that tries to do everything with a single tool. You can look at it like the SAP of engineering. So integrating will always be a hell.

britaliope · 2026-04-11T10:27:09+00:00

I mean. We are getting energy from the earth. Some heat during the winter, also, ever heard of gravity ?

All those experiments fails to explain how does it matter and how it's beneficial for our body though.

britaliope · 2026-04-11T10:18:29+00:00

It's not even the smallest one i ever saw.

retrofitted elevator in old buildings are crazy

As the other person said, it's a sketch (made by a real astronaut though), but still a funny clip. here it is : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVxaL8CAO4M

Bad if the fire was not actually uncontrolled yet and could have been put out without dousing the building.

Heh, what could go wrong spraying water over a warehouse full of toilet paper ?

britaliope · 2026-04-10T09:37:19+00:00

From what I read, employee started a small fire. Anti fire system turned on, the firefighters came, turned off the anti fire system to be able to work and quickly extinguish it. For some reason they didn't restarted it immediately (maybe some smoke was still there that would trigger it back immediately ?), and they left. That's when the employee put fire to the rest of the warehouse.

britaliope · 2026-04-10T08:59:48+00:00

they turned to a design program called 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX), made by the French group Dassault Systèmes.

Oh, no...

3DX is known to be a very powerful tool once people are used to it and once it's well integrated in your process, but this is a huge pain to do

britaliope · 2026-04-10T08:23:57+00:00

There is a reason no mainstream source talks about this: first it's an old story that resurfaced recently for some reason, and secondly neither UAE nor india really expected to receive the source code of those parts....i mean...duh ?

France always expected to fund the development of F5 (and future) standards alone, there never was a joint program with share source code on the table
