Wine 10.13 Released 16
Wine 10.13 has been released after a one-month break, introducing a Windows Gaming Input configuration tab for the Joystick Control Panel, new ECDSA_P521 and ECDH_P521 cryptographic algorithms, OpenGL WoW64 thunk generation, and expanded Windows Runtime metadata support. The update also delivers 32 bug fixes," which is more than normal given the month of time between releases," writes Phoronix's Michael Larabel. "There are fixes for Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, Doom 3 BFG Edition, and a variety of other game and application fixes."

wow, slashdot really is just about dead if 2 hours late I can be "first post" (remember that!?).
Sad. And here I was hoping to see the regular linux/windows flame wars and maybe even a discussion of how usable wine is these days.

I guess I would be more excited if I hadn't abandoned Windows on my own personal devices (still have to use it via RDP at work). I think the Wine project has done an incredible thing, I just don't have any particular use for it anymore.

That's an anti-gaslighting feature.
OTOH the moderation system is trash. It should either work more like reddit's (higher max scores) or who voted how should be public.

A recipe for no-one in their right mind to moderate. You know there's a few posters on here who have stalkers - following them around posting disgusting shit in reply to their every comment? Yeah, well after a few (perfectly justified) downmods, you'd soon pick up your own stalker. Maybe you're fine with that; lots of people are not.

the moderation system worked ok where there were more users, and it felt like more of an "honor" to be awarded it, even if it was random. Now there's barely anybody doing it, so yeah, I agree, just let everybody vote. Not sure that making it public will be an improvement, but given the incredibly low stakes, maybe no harm.

Feature... or just lack of programming talent? I observe no deleterious effects of post-post editing on Reddit. Supposing someone really did imagine it was an issue, the obvious fix is to only allow editing for a minute or two after posting.
I'm chalking this issue up to simple lack of software development resources, which has always been the main problem with Slashdot.

I cut my time on this site by about 99% when it became totally overwhelmed by piles of shitty culture wars comments - on every thread, totally offtopic, derailing the comments to the point they were largely unreadable.
That seems to have died down a bit now (though not gone away), presumably because many of the shitheads involved got bored when they'd driven a load of non-shitheads away. But the non-shitheads have largely not returned, so it's a bit tumbleweedy now.
I should test this out⦠(Score:2)
