I’m still a sucker for Stellaris and Crusader Kings 3, but the HoI and Vicky followups have been stinkers. Their modern DLC pricing is also unhinged. I hope they will turn things around, but I don’t expect them.

But have you considered the magic of being together? 🌈⭐️

And about to get even worse.

I want it to evolve to support more desktop applications. This is the one thing that will continue to hamper Linux adoption. Games are the best place to start, but we need all those old obscure, irreplaceable desktop apps to work now.

I have one suggestion so far. Consider moving to Codeberg. Github has become a very unsafe place to keep FOSS projects.

This is Iran in the 1970s, before the US started providing weapons, training, and funding to groups like literally the Taliban.

No matter how you measure it, global sexually repressive puritanism always traces back to the US.

That bad times are back, unfortunately. In all aspects of life.

Shots fired at Notesnook.

They are both pie.

Newsom is, and always has been, a slimy neoliberal greaseball. Not only does he not pander to progressives, he is the pinnacle of Democratic Party leftward obstructionism. Newsom serves nobody but Newsom. His current act is nothing more than the latest strategy to bolster his Presidential prospects after openly pandering to the far right failed to gain him any ground.

“Unborn child” is a paradox. You can’t kill someone that doesn’t exist. Hurting a child who really does exist should get her charged with all manner of crimes, but we’re talking about Florida, so that’s dependent on her skin tone and wealth.

We know that Steve considered AR to be the next major leap in personal technology, but that vision has almost nothing in common with Vision Pro. AR should be able to change and enhance your environment, not separate you from it. Even if you consider Vision Pro a demonstration of the concept owing to the fact that the technology to make it properly doesn’t exist, it fails at even that. It fails at every meaningful use case of AR. AR is not “phone apps floating in space”, it’s about recognizing and augmenting the world around you, the objects around you, and the actual physical space that we inhabit. I’ve given up on ever seeing proper AR in my lifetime, even as a bulky, ugly, expensive proof of concept.

Apple died with Steve Jobs. They went from being a company whose success was based on making things that people wanted to becoming a company that only cares about “maximizing value for shareholders.” Having customers is now just an inconvenience.

Late stage Capitalism in action.

The problem is that hundreds of bad actors doing the same thing independently of one another means it does not qualify as a DDoS attack. Maybe it’s time we start legally restricting bots and crawlers, though.

Codeberg has very good migration tools built in. You need to do one repo at a time, but it can move issues, releases, and everything.

There are two things you’ll want to read to get an idea of how and why fascism happens. The first is the essay Ur-Fascism by Umberto Eco. The second is the free ebook The Authoritarians by Dr Bob Altemeyer.

Between these two, you get a clear, measurable definition of what it means to be fascist and an explanation of the psychologies behind it.

none of this LLM shit is actually AI, that’s all branding and marketing manipulation, just a reminder.

To correct the last part, LLMs are AI. Remember that “Artificial” means “fake”, “superficial”, or “having the appearance of.” It does not mean “actual intelligence.” This is why additional terms were coined to specify types of AI that are capable of more than just smoke and mirrors, such as AGI. Expect even more niche terms to arrive in the future as technology evolves.

But what about “both sides?” /s

Yes, but the picture shows fries with ketchup when fries with gravy and cheese curds is objectively the best potato preparation ever dreamed by our species.
