> It's why Konami got out of it. You can have a bunch of talented people with a ton of money and even a good chunk of time and the end results and still flop.
If they're talented, it's not a flop. Look at Baldurs Gate 3, Elden Ring, Astro Bot, Hollow Knight: Silksong and so forth.

If you treat your playerbase right and the game is good, you'll sell. If you push out garbage AAA/AI/DEI slop, it won't: look at Dragon Age if you want to see the difference.

Good for you, however to realise how much EA really moves money around and how many people do like when games are well made: Battlefield 6 just sold over 7 million copies in less than three days.

Comment Re:At least it's not SELinux. (Score 1) 74

It's an incredibly poorly designed and unintuitive system, has poor tooling and an archaic templating system at best.

It feels like it was designed by a single engineer in some backroom who has absolutely no concept of how you should design something that is used by a large base of users.

And the fact that "Well, if you don't know how to make templates for SELinux, then you are lazy and incompetent and you shouldn't be able to use that external USB device as it requires additional configuration to use!" is exactly why Linux will never get proper desktop share and why people who use Windows 10 now will simply move over to Windows 11 and the Linux desktop will further stagnate.

Because the law allows him to do that. Much like the law has clearly written that you are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law and that you are eligible for compensation when you are profiled incorrectly by the police.

Perhaps you'd like to live in China or North Korea where you can be randomly apprehended and harassed by the police just "because you look a bit sus".

I know /. is full of people who think coding is the next religion but it's not. Majority, and I do mean majority, of people have zero use for coding skills. They add nothing to their lives and future.

> If a certificate's private key is compromised, that compromise can't last as long.
If your key is compromised, it doesn't matter if it's 6 days, 60 days or 600 days because by the time your certificate is renewed, the baddie has already either installed C2, backdoor, new key or exfiltrated any data they wanted.

Another useless "feature" that adds more work to already overburdened admins. This whole thing sounds like it was decide by people who live in their little echo chambers, do everything in "in the cloud" and have _zero_ understanding of what a lot of admins have to deal with every day.

Also what happens if LE is down for a week or two?
