I've never used Mercurial, but a simple one based on the explanations and my experience with Git:

Locating the branch a commit originated from. If a git branch has been merged into (or rebased on) main or another branch, there's no way to tell which commit came from which branch. But sometimes I'd really like that information to figure out what prompted a certain change. Without it, I need to use external tools like a ticketing system and hope the other developers added in the necessary information.

"History is written by the victors." - what I immediately thought of.

Heh,

how about forcing LaLiga to show evidence about damages? Because surely everyone who pirated their content would have paid if free streams weren't available, right guys???

Hardly a surprise, since Windows 10 didn't need new hardware to run. You could install it on anything.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if screenshots are disabled in that app considering the rest, to "stop leaking sensitive information".

Cookies required for the website to work (like that one) are totally fine and, in fact, they don't even have to ask you about them - if they're not used for tracking. So no, asking each time is definitely avoidable.

Not only is that headline's grammar exceptional(ly bad), for a moment I thought the developer of Control was named Alan Wake. Like, how did they manage to butcher that so badly?

Because you don't need to have significant experience or rent a VPS in order to do that, and I can respect that. We don't need to force FOSS developers to become proficient in everything.

What needs to happen is some kind of tool (ideally FOSS) that lets you spin up an actual forum with the same difficulty to set it up as Discord.

Huh, TIL.

Regarding your edit, that amount wasn't the cumulated cost of whatever Limewire were distributing, that would be idiotic indeed; rather the RIAA tried to call for a ruling that somehow those guys were causing $150,000 in damages - per instance. Now the article unfortunately doesn't state how they possibly tried to justify that number, and I can't be bothered to research that myself. Another thing that would interest me is how the plaintiff expected them to pay with almost every dollar on Earth.

So while I don't think this had anything to do with "lost sales", I do agree with the possible fines and damage calculations not being fit for any sort of realistic purpose at all.

Huh, interesting... You know, I've never really wondered about Humble Bundle specifically, but you're right, they seem to be selling your run-of-the-mill Steam keys, or at least you can activate them effortlessly in Steam. Maybe it's a case of Steam themselves handing out keys (instead of the publishers) to increase user retention? I honestly don't know, this is all just speculation.

I actually didn't click on your link at first, because I assumed it would just show other stores where you could purchase the whole game instead of a key, so I'm sorry that you had to clarify that.

As far as I know, they do - for Steam keys. If you're selling your game through other stores, not just a Steam key, there aren't any demands placed upon you. The OC might've been talking about that.

Gotcha, I didn't catch that on my first read-through.
