A reoccurring theme on the Emacs forums is that it’s somehow a good thing to have a minimal configuration and by implication that having a small number of packages is also a good thing. Arguments can be made that a large number of packages can increase load times and memory…

Greg Kroah-Hartman has announced the release of the 6.17.11, 6.12.61, 6.6.119, 6.1.159, 5.15.197, and 5.10.247 stable kernels. Each contains important fixes throughout the tree; users of these kernels should upgrade.

Hello reader who is also a reader! Today marks the sad and glorious return of Booked for the Week, our reliably irregular Sunday column in which games people talk about books. It’s sad because the original creator of this column, arch word baron Nic Reuben, is no longer full time…

I can see it now… in the near future, the review embargo for Suda51's next game Romeo is a Dead Man, and as far as the eye can see the digital realm is scorched with 7/10s. Its maximalist shenanigans, techno-blasting soundtrack, and ridiculous premise puts it in a position…
