The lead developer Juan Linietsky pronounces it go-dot as well, though with the emphasis on the second syllable (arguably just a matter of accent). I also prefer that pronunciation. A lot of people pronounce it as if it's French, since it happens to have a name that's also known from a French play (see: the other replies).

I think it's a GIF situation. Either way is broadly acceptable (though some people gatekeep on it; see above).

I knew a keyboard player a while back that didn't like cleaning his keys, they got slick from finger oil with use and he didn't like the little bit of extra friction they had when they were clean.

I've run Star Citizen on Linux a few times (not a regular player), there was a Lutris configuration that Just Worked™ for me. There's also the Linux Users Group for SC, which maintains some scripts for working around issues if you want to do things manually. They're the ones maintaining the Lutris configuration too.

I did run into the same issue with Shapez 2 recently, though! A quick stop in qpwgraph to connect it to the right audio output and everything else about it worked perfectly, but it's not a permanent fix.

It depends entirely on the type of bread. Soda bread/biscuits/etc. can be as simple as mix and bake, but yeast breads usually require multiple steps over the course of a couple of hours. Usually something along the lines of:

  1. Mix ingredients
  2. Knead thoroughly for several minutes
  3. Let rise for ~1 hour
  4. Press the dough flat again and knead again
  5. Let rise again
  6. Bake
  7. Let cool

The intermittent rise periods are what allows the loaf to expand and gives the center its fluffy texture. It's not a terribly difficult process, just requires intermittent attention over a fairly long period of time. You may have heard talk about bakers starting their job very early in the morning; people traditionally wanted fresh bread in the morning, and it takes several hours to actually make (even if most of that time is just waiting), so bakers need to start several hours early.

A bread maker turns the long process into basically just "put in all the ingredients and press go". It still takes a while, but doesn't require any attention once it's started. You can also just put the stuff in at night and have it start on a timer so it's ready in the morning.

Surf is just a wrapper around WebKit, which is developed by Apple and used in Safari. Surf isn't a from-scratch browser implementation.

Also not a lawyer, but my understanding has always been that a license grants permissions, not limits them. No license means no permissions granted. Most sites have terms that you agree to (by posting to the site) that tell you what they may do with your content, and I don't think a license you tack onto it can change that (though it can grant permission to others).

As for scrapers and such, they were never granted any permissions to use anything. They just don't care. A license is also unlikely to change that.

I think licenses on posts are pointless and tacky, personally, but I could be missing something.
