Goddammit that’s too funny.

Based on what? That you don’t know it?

I don’t see anything particularly wrong with it on the surface.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Free_Asia

The service, which provides editorially independent reporting,[6][7][8][9][10][11] has the stated mission of providing accurate and uncensored reporting to countries in Asia that have poor media environments and limited protections for speech and press freedom.

6 references to the Independent reporting part! Seems pretty OK to me.

Just try yourself, the claim is obviously false.

The results here are nothing alike.
Her I have the first result on Google being “Prime video”, which does not occur on the first page of Bing.
On Bing the first result is Wikipedia English, where Google has Wikipedia Danish as 2nd result, and the English not occuring on first page.

Misleading users is definitely harmful. Since this is obviously done on purpose, I’d say it’s malicious.

The point of having a high entropy password is to protect against hackers brute forcing a leaked database of hashes.

Seems a bit stupid if a database of passwords or other sensitive information can be brute forced.

just use a password manager

I will never do that, I have a system instead. I never understood why people would want to use a password manager. To me it seems it ads an attack vector, where you could lose EVERYTHING!

Something that can possibly be deduced knowing personal information, like a birth date.

Yes because if you choose 8 characters at random, with 25 small + 25 big letters and 10 numeric, it* only 60^8 = 167,961,600,000,000 combinations.
I think the problem is more if the system allow brute force with thousands of erroneous attempts.
I never got the frantic entropy mindset, when the problem is much simpler to not allow endless attempts. You can allow 50 attempts, and chances would be very slim to guess even pretty moronic passwords.

I’ve had Google Maps added as a search option for years. Because I use Qwant for search, and the maps functionality in Qwant sucks.

Yes it is shadercache as you wrote.
But just to prove I’m not totally crazy, I included an image showing it only says “Updating” above the progress bar. Which is why I thought it was the game that was updating.
But hovering the (i) it says “shader pre-caching update.”
Then there’s the question why it needs to update shader cache nearly every time I’ve played the game?

Thanks, I’ll definitely check for that next time.

Funny, it always ran fine here? I just used the Proton version to get shift keys.
If it wasn’t for the Proton stuttering I would have stayed on that, IDK what causes this, but it’s not just Borderlands 2, I think it’s a problem in Steam, maybe because of my about 12 year old backed up steam folder that has somehow folded to old age? I’m planning on installing a new system soon, and when I do, I’ll only be copying over saved games data, and reinstall everything.

Thanks, live and learn. 😋

OK Thanks, the notification is gone now, but I’ll try next time.
But I thought shader cache was generated locally?

But aren’t those generated locally?

IDK, it actually just says “downloading 1 of 1 items”,
But AFAIK it doesn’t need to download to validate.
It just did it with Borderlaqnds GOTY Enhanced while I was playing Borderlands 2?
It only says downloaded and completed, nothing about why there was a download.
I started it by mistake, just before playing Borderlands 2, and skipped it before it was finished with shaders?

OK I didn’t know you could do that, this is very strange? Is there a way I can see a log of my steam downloads?
https://steamdb.info/sub/46441/
Says here May 2024 was latest update.
But it’s not just me, my wife also get these updates downloads?

OK but nothing apparently changes, and old bugs remain.

So it’s an outdated build, yet it gets frequent updates. That just makes it even weirder?
It’s not an issue as such, it only takes a few seconds, it just seems weird. Since nothing is fixed. The latest updates mentioned on the steam page are more than a year old.
I used the proton version earlier, that’s how I found out about the graphics issue. But for some reason my proton version began to stutter? So I went back to native Linux.

Thanks, it must be amazing for Americans to have a president who won’t sign a standard ethics agreement.
