Oh no! What does that mean for using Wine to play games? From what I understand a lot of Windows games (especially older ones) require 32-bit Wine, which requires 32-bit libs (which I assume requires 32-bit Kernel support). It's the sole reason I run 64- and 32-bit multilib on my Arch box: playing Windows games.

They didn't inherit it. They chose it. If you choose to build on something, you should support it, and support it well.

I searched that PDF for family/families and found nothing, but I did find that you are actually even more correct. Most of that report is about accredited investors. Less than 5% of non-accredited investors own private securities. So, it's actually quite rare.

That said, to answer your question, you could own Flock stock. Private companies often offer stock to employees and others.

> Flock isn't publicly traded. How could I own stock in it?

Not all stock is publicly traded. I own stock that you can't buy on the exchange. It's quite common actually.

> Time to boycott Sony, they deserve no money from anyone, and I meant anyone.

Because when they installed rootkits on user's machines wasn't that time?

Because when they removed content users purchased from their machines wasn't that time?

Because when they spy on what users watch on their TVs in the privacy of their home wasn't that time?

Sony is like a tree. The best time to boycott Sony was decades ago. The second best time is today.

> The Kingdom Come: Deliverance games from Warhorse Studios and the Witcher franchise from CD Projekt Red (both Polish)

Warhorse Studios is Czech; Slavs are not all alike.

I prefer a world where we have to live with zlib, lz4, and xz but have less genocide. I get that I didn't get a vote in which world we have, but I do have an opinion. And you do, too.

Extraordinary claims should come with extraordinary evidence. Also, as a layman outside their system, how can you verify this?

Do you have data? Because I don't know how to see their algorithm ranking objectively enough to verify.

It's pretty easy. You can opt into any ligature you like across every mode, and then add extra ones for each programming mode or other mode. For example:

  (use-package ligature
    :ensure t
    :config
    ;; Enable specific ligatures globally across all modes:
    (ligature-set-ligatures 't '("==" "===" "!=" "->" "-->" "=>" "=="))
  
    ;; Enable individual ligatures only for specific programming modes:
    (ligature-set-ligatures '(python-mode rust-mode c-mode)
                            '("||" "&&" "::" "->" "=>" "!="))

    ;; Enable ligatures only for HTML / XML:
    (ligature-set-ligatures '(html-mode nxml-mode web-mode)
                            '("<!--" "-->" "</" "/>"))

    ;; Enable global ligature mode
    (global-ligature-mode t))

Mostly codepoint coverage.

> Wish code editors would support different fonts per semantic region

They absolutely do. In Emacs I use different faces for comments, tables in literate sections, and code blocks. I use the same font for all those faces, but different attributes (size, weight, etc).

I also have configured different fonts for different unicode code points, so that when I include Cyrillic or Japanese text I can use a font with better code point coverage that my preferred fonts.

It always astounds me how unconfigurable most editors are.

> You have the same risk and not really ownership.

You don't, though. When I download a game on Steam or GOG, I have the files on my PC. I can back them up. I can modify them.

Yes, live service games still have an online component I don't control, but I do still control the files on my computer. I don't on a console.

Actually, I don't own any consoles for reasons of software freedom but I hear they are much more difficult to do things like back up your data, etc.

Did you read your [2] citation? While the 6th court denied immunity, they tried to claim a different immunity. Upon appeal to the Supreme Court, the SC said you settle it without immunity first, the 6th court did not take that advice. Sounds like they used a different law.

I am not familiar with the case, but from my reading IJ is still trying to fight the immunity.

> Instead, the high court asked the Sixth Circuit to decide the issue first. Rather than seriously engaging with the issue, as the Supreme Court asked, the Sixth Circuit unthinkingly applied outdated caselaw, becoming the sixth federal appeals court to do so. Now, IJ is asking the Supreme Court to weigh in and deny the government one of its many tools to avoid the Constitution

Don't dodge the question and attack the asker, that's rude.
