@modrobert @loke The GEOS KERNAL defines the macro (and also uses it). You can change it in my reverse-engineered source: github.com/mist64/geos/blob/ma :)

@freemo Watch out during mating season, they get really aggressive and pursue way beyond their territory to get a bite of intruders.

Wikipedia, like Google, maintains a blacklist of media outlets, not only including awful right-wing websites but also leftist anti-imperialist outlets like The Grayzone and TeleSUR.

@loke What about grub boot menu, do you have that in Fedora? Was thinking if you boot an older kernel (usually the last five are there when grub menu is activated).

@loke I've only had problems when moving from fglrx packages in Ubuntu to open source. Have to really delete a lot of packages with purge before installing open source Radeon, other than that it worked fine, performance is a lot better than it used to be in Radeon. Sorry, wish I could help more, still seems weird you don't get any crash dumps or logs from it. Steam sometimes put logs under /tmp when games crash there, but this seems more serious, hard crash. Anything in old 'dmesg' logs under /var/log?

@loke OK, are you using open source Radeon drivers (default?) or the AMD proprietary fglrx/Catalyst ones?

@loke If you don't get any crash logs, and if this is a laptop. From experience, I would guess the motherboard temp is causing GFX (and CPU if combined package) BGA circuit to flex slightly against board (PCB) which over time eventually leads to solder cracks in the solder balls under the BGA. Common problem in laptops. If this is the case, and you have warranty, then manufacturer will replace the motherboard for you. If no warranty (usually the case), then you need to send the motherboard to be reballed by professional who repair. There are temporary fixes where they just reheat the board, but then it will only last like a month before the problem is back.

@loke Anything in the /var/crash directory (or core dumps elsewhere)?

@amolith If you aren't in control of the encryption keys you have no security. Smartphones are trackers by design, granted, even trackers running software of choice can be useful. My advice is to not bring the phone when you want privacy.

Oh I so love this comment from Reddit:

Computer Science had fantastically approachable textbooks with clear, simple diagrams, as well as practical examples that you could really implement yourself to solve real problems. I noticed however that while the research papers written in the 60s and 70s had a clear, easily readable style, around the late 90s they become riddled with made-up pseudocode unique to each paper and at least 50% Greek letters, because deep in ours hearts we all recognise that we're not proper computer scientists until we learn to program in ancient Greek like the great philosophers did thousands of years ago.

I don't think he deserved to be downvoted.

@bkhl Reminds me of a distant past when I wore a thin black leather tie.
