Good stuff! Finally, Baldur's Gate EE will install without the damn libssl.so.1.0.0 error we encounter in the Linux version...

8, 16, 24 and 40 GB RAM configuration... Why can't they change the embedded module to 16 to have symmetric RAM on 32GB? That's pretty weird.

I was considering giving it a try even with Intel but not with those configs.

Struggling with regular expressions? Then visit 'Regex Crossword', a site to learn them through a Sudoku-like game

Oh man, finally a -hopefully- way to learn better regex!

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWeird. The definition sounds like a straightforward, fairly intuitive thing. What makes them so hard?
The infinity combinations you can get and that they aren't easy to read. IMO is one of the most powerful tool for text search but also a dangerous one (the day you create your RE it totally makes sense and it is hyper intuitive... six weeks later you want to cry).
I see. So the cautionary tale for young programmers is, if you aren't solid in your commenting and variable names, you'll be condemned to use this stuff.
I did some commenting in few regex I had to do at work the other day... and two days later when I revisit them it wouldn't work. Turned out with all the rush to leave the office I had confused some symbols and had messed it xD

System76 formally tease their new 'Lemur Pro' laptop as their most open yet

I've got my heart divided. I'm in need of a new laptop, after much thought I was almost convinced Lenovo T495 or T495s where my option to go -sorry Librem 13- but if Lemur Pro comes soon with AMD I much rather support a Linux first company.

Which, by the way, I install Pop_OS on my gaming machine yesterday to give it a go and it seems pretty cool too (Although I keep missing Debian and will go back to it eventually)

Privacy-focused Linux vendor Purism announces the stylish Librem Mini

The CPU is an improvement from their old 7th gen that they offer on their laptops, which is what is keeping me away from buying one. I'm still waiting for the Librem 5 though, chestnut release won't happen now till August if being very optimistic.

Quoting: Linas(Un)fortunately I can work from home. But man am I not productive with all the distractions around. Any productivity tips? :whistle:
Same here. My tip is... don't have a young dog in the flat. It takes all the productivity away xD

If the government were to lockdown the country, that XCOM 2 could do wonders with the extra time xD

P.S: Stay safe, everyone.

Speculation: porting studio Feral Interactive could be in some trouble (updated: they're fine)

Glad to see it was more of a clickbait than actual news. Great for Feral, not so great for phoronyx news

;)
