What they said is literally ‘less than 50% men like soulslikes, and less than 50% women like soulslikes’ which would be a statistical miracle to be an incorrect statement because it's hard to make something to appeal to majority including those that never come close to PC or a console. Even if you only count gamers that would probably be hard to achieve, as that is not the same as positive reviews because reviewers are a subset of population that is already not against the genre

    I think it's fine to target primary women or primarily men, it's tangential to being sexist or being shitty, you can do both, do neither, or do only one.

    It's just that a lot of niches targeting men are already occupied and enjoyed by the players (probably of all genders), because men tended to be considered the main audience, thus creating a self-fulfilling prophecy as women felt left-out and rightfully.

    On the other hand, I'm not a woman and may be completely wrong in my opinion, and would be glad to hear from someone who knows how things are, not how they seem to be

    This makes me wonder what we're the arguments against, is there a read about why NBs were opposed?

    Edit: Found an answer by Harald Achitz in comments to the post, but that's a lot to read, it seems:

    it's not just one paper, but rather a whole book. Thats the problem.

    As an entry point, I recommend:

    Procedural problems: P4381 (https://wg21.link/P4381)

    Technical problems: P4334 (https://wg21.link/P4334)

    Both papers reference plenty of other papers, so they provide a good starting point for getting an overview.

    This blog series by Mateusz Pusz also provides an excellent overview of the topic: https://train-it.eu/blog/series/cpp26-contracts/

    My personal favorite topics, the problems for binary package management and the growing number of implementation-defined aspects introduced by contracts are actually not covered exhaustively by any of these sources. (imho) The response to the technical concerns about build systems and package management was essentially: Nothing new here. The situation is already a mess, so we're just adding more mess. Literally!

    I don't quite understand, what are those keys and how are they different from certificates, and how is it really used by an attacker. Is it that an attacker may use those to sign MitM fake certificate but claim it to have been checked by eMudhra? Is there really no way of terminating a CA certificate?

    They say, they observed flashes of light and the phone rebooted (or something like that) which means he obviously was in cahoots with the devil destroyed evidence. That is if they really even saw that, but maybe there is a recording

    Regarding the stopped working, after an update and before reboot I usually see videos, wine, and sometimes system settings stop working. But the only thing that breaks is ricochet-refresh client which is AUR and I think it is maybe not made how it should

    Yeah, it's clear that partial update is not something you want, and sometimes it stops working until restart, indeed

    I guess, you can argue that repository maintainers and distro maintainers are different people, but I feel like it still counts as you can't go on without updates

    But I'm fine with that, it didn't break for me yet :)

    You can run without updates, but sometimes you will not be able to install a new package because dependencies will return Not Found

    I think, it's by design, to not maintain a ton of stale dependencies, but maybe I'm doing it wrong, don't know
