I tried Funkwhale but I'm having a very hard time moving out of ten years of daily Subsonic usage.

This is the case on Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (GameCube), on the Arcade GP series and Mario Kart Tour (smartphone).

In all other games, character choice doesn't affect item distribution.

They also used to offer webhosting if you were subscribed to them and would never delete your website even if your contract expired (I've got an ugly one from 2006 that's still up even though I've changed ISPs a while ago).

I did exactly that, it worked on Debian however not on Windows:

1. Type about:config in URL bar

2. Change xpinstall.signatures.required from true to false

3. Restart Firefox

Wouldn't CDs do the job?

Don't forget that junior developers... are junior. They might not be the best devs in the world yet, but I'm pretty sure they can fit in any mold if you give them the right resources.

In your case, I'd say someone passionate enough to provide good value for the team. Just make sure you don't scare them away by making them feel they might "waste your time" ;-)

I still don't see how this is a debt. A debt is something you willingly take and make your best to pay it back. If you can't, you stay in contact with the other party. You don't just delete your account and play dead. Playing devil's advocate is sometimes a good thing, but that 22 yo dude was just being plain shady. He clearly never intended to pay.

He wasn't "late on a payment", he definitely tried to scam the author since he deleted his reddit account and lied on eBay.

Frenchie here, that one got me giggling, well played.

Ingress does something similar in Paris. You have a mission where you need to interact with a few portals that are in the Jardin d'acclimatation, and the app states that in order to fulfill the mission, you have to buy a pass to enter the park (since the portals are inside it).

As I see it, the popup is merely a notification that the upgrade has been scheduled. Why not taking the time to read it and cancel the upgrade? It's been like that for years (remember "the computer will restart in 10 minutes" popup from Win7?)

Well maintaining software and infrastructure is one thing. But they also seem to lack features compared to the competition. They might want to quickly sort their management issues out and be more agressive feature-wise.

Parisian sysadmin here.

I'm so appalled by this article. Our government voted absurd laws allowing law enforcement to sniff all Internet traffic in France (and beyond). They did this while taking advantage of post-January ruckus. Yet they cannot stop terrorists using their real id. On top of that, I read that policemen were aware of an imminent terrorist attack on 11/13 (but I've not yet confirmed this with reliable sources).

What can we do when nobody gives a damn about their freedom? Most acquaintances I hit up with this topic just don't care "as long as I'm safe". We're rolling down a dangerous hill which will lead to the defeat of our freedom and the victory of terrorists.

Pardon my French.
