This looks amazing! The credential injection trick is particularly cool :)

Whoops, guess I flipped it around!

Might be a reality quite soon! https://github.com/boykopovar/AnyPS5

Oof, serves me right for not reading the article! Thanks for the correction :)

Hahaha precisely. The other part people seem to ignore is that there are bound to be projects with potential that are unilaterally killed early on because of the founder’s “taste” and ego.

But this is not a personal card. It is a credit card. Who in the world would even notice this detail?

This whole exercise sounds like a minimalist circlejerk that was only possible in a ZIRP environment.

That’s where flakes come in.

Flakehub is one attempt at solving the discovery problem. For example: https://flakehub.com/flake/nix-community/disko?view=usage.

Just came back to this. I am genuinely curious: were you expecting to start a discussion with such a disrespectful reply, or were you just ragebaiting?

This is a war that is generally supported by both Republicans and Democrats - the latter mostly dissenting to the fact that it is being conducted without Congressional approval.

It is also a war that extends in part from the Gaza genocide, which as we know was overseen and backed by a Democratic administration.

In other words, this is a war enabled and sanctioned by our government collectively, and not a particular administration or party.

My point is that this will likely become the norm thanks to LLMs, so expect more of this kind of structure going forward.

> Becoming more the norm for them, Neki is the same.

Uh, isn’t this becoming the norm everywhere ever since LLMs have been trained on OSS without credit or attribution? Why wouldn’t you want to hide your stuff going forward?

In my view, OSS is only going to move more and more towards one of two models: open core + proprietary functionality (e.g. MongoDB) OR open source + private tests (e.g. SQLite).

So then why was Russia kicked out?

Thanks, haven’t seen this before.

I was not talking specifically about the BBC.

On the BBC specifically, try reading through their articles, especially from early on, and tell me what the editorial slant is. Yes, most of the content is neatly wrapped in quotation marks, but what picture were they trying to paint?

On UK media in general: https://www.declassifieduk.org/beheaded-babies-how-uk-media-...

My point is that both UK and Western media immediately jumped on and recirculated the claim in the first few days without confirmation. This was just enough to sear the image of beheaded babies into the minds of viewers & readers in the West, helping to justify Israel’s campaign to starve out the “human animals” and raze Gaza (a least in the mind of the avg citizen).

A few more examples:

“40 beheaded babies” and mass/systematic rape propaganda accepted with zero verification (journalism 101) and, once debunked, zero retractions were made

Hamas-run, but not Likud-run

Condemnation of atrocities by Israel and the US that comes from Israeli and Western voices is given significantly more weight than the same claims coming from Palestinian or Arab voices. After all, the native lacks the capacity to be objective.

Israeli gov statements are taken as undeniable fact, while Palestinian (Gaza or West Bank) gov spokespeople or even Palestinian people in general are barely even platformed

Over-representation of Zionists in editorial teams of every major newspaper and news channel across all Western countries, which (naturally) led to coordinated suppression of any Palestinian voice internally and externally (started to change only relatively recently).

And the list goes on.

SenPlayer is also very good on ATV.

They’re saying it is ض, which is a letter us North Africans generally struggle to differentiate from ظ :)

Also, afaik 9 is a ص in many countries, while 8 is a ق. But it is definitely my first time hearing of a 9 used as ض.

Thanks for explaining. But I am not sure how this contradicts my point?

Sure, placing launch infrastructure in French Guiana is probably less risky than setting up shop in New Caledonia. Clearly, the risk profile is not the same for all of Overseas France.

My point is that if the decision is between mainland and Overseas France, the latter introduces elevated risk in the long term in general. French Guiana could be fine today, but it is not impossible that the next few years could see the rise of a populist pro-independence movement that would eventually impact launch infrastructure (similar to how it did for the USSR).

Reality is fundamentally chaotic after all.

I wasn’t talking about the historical aspect. Same applies = the same risk also exists due to geopolitics and distance. Heck, didn’t New Caledonia see a wave of protests that were crushed in the past year or two?

It was a French colonial subject as recently as the 20th century.

Regardless, a launch facility within Europe seems much less riskier long term from a geopolitical standpoint.

But French Guiana is a geographically distant ex-colony, so there will always be a higher probability of future inaccessibility. Same applies to New Caledonia, Martinique, etc.

> that private trackers are now

This has always been the case for, or at least has been for as far back as I remember. Maybe you’re mixing up public and private trackers?

A state of the art GPU is much harder to design & produce at scale and than an internal ASIC.

Even the homepage copy is LLM output. Not necessarily a bad thing, but something to point out.

> Charge a Kobo Clara BW (N365) and connect it over USB. Other models are refused, not guessed at.

The warchest is not enough: the NYC mayoral election and Michigan and Florida Senate (outfunded 16:1) primaries are good examples.

Interesting, so Nubank is a heavy Flutter user?

Nix and NixOS probably wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the anime pfps :)

> In the end, people tend to believe what they want.

Agreed. My point about complexity vs. simplicity does not apply to people who are coming in with strong, preconceived notions. Because how would a simple argument convince them of a generalization otherwise?

Expanding on this, the point I was making is that Complexity is dangerous for those who are genuinely interested in trying to understand a topic or are simply on the fence. Just muddy the water until they lose interest and you’re golden.

The antidote to that is simplicity and empathy: start with the core issue and frame it in terms the audience will empathize with. In fact, I think this is also how you deal with the aforementioned group who are easy to fall into the trap of oversimplification; you just have to find a way to simplify things differently :)

I would say something like “unions are more often good than bad and without them your children would today probably be working a 996 schedule”.

I get your point, but I think confusion requires complexity. Otherwise how would it be confusing?
