Krutonium··on I said no and Apple said yes
In my experience Linux can yeah.
Krutonium··on Tell HN: Claude Code just accepted and signed a contract for me. Without asking
I mean in this specific case, it did, at your behest even. These contracts would probably be even easier to enforce than Claude-signed ones!
Krutonium··on Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating?
Wouldn't you?

"I learned it from you, Dad!" but as hundreds of millions of stolen books.

Krutonium··on 'Lake America' makes one thing clear: We can't trust U.S. tech companies
Honestly I'd be okay with it if Google and Apple decided that the current administrations actions are not legitimate, as long as they can properly justify it.

Which honestly wouldn't be that hard.

Krutonium··on GamersNexus and LG: Or why rooting your TV is a bad idea
I'm pretty sure they DID mention that they can remotely flip settings. So that's a thing for sure.
Krutonium··on The "$60 Gaming PC" – AMD BC-250 (2025)
On the other hand if you re-arranged the room, it'd be neat to walk in to everything deploying!
Krutonium··on You probably own this 7-Eleven (and that's why it looks so sad)
On the contrary, rules and regulations are written in blood, and airplanes are manufactured stronger in different ways because pilots took risks. The Wings don't shear off when the pilot yanks the yoke left and up because someone did before, and the Wings either fell off or didn't - but until it happened, the wings were an unknown quantity. And that's just one example.

That's basically the job description of a Test Pilot.

Krutonium··on The treasury bond mess: is this the demise of the US as a safe haven?
For anyone not aware just how much: A quarter of it. A quarter of all US debt happened under Trump.
Krutonium··on Dropbox is an obvious PE Target?
PE's end goal is never the health of the business.

Being bought by PE is a death sentence. Maybe drawn out by years, but a death sentence none the less.

Krutonium··on ICE will release body cam video only when seen in the agency's 'best interests'
ICE will release body cam video when required by the courts, and FOIA requests.

Just saying, you could FOIA so much video in about 2 months...

Krutonium··on Anthropic CEO reportedly worried new hires only care about money
Right? People typically do work for money. That's capitalism.

If I could pay bills with happyness and contributions to society through working for a cause, I would, but that's not reality.

Also businesses seem to think we should be Undyingly Loyal to them without any reciprocity. It's wild.

Krutonium··on Quake – 30th Anniversary Update
I was gung ho to play Quake Champions, then the monetized the shit out of it and I fucked off.

UT4 was a tech demo.

Krutonium··on I'm Scared a Stranger Will Call My Novel AI, So I Built GitHub for Words
Yea there's literally software that lets you put art into your commit history blog graph on github by making a repo with potentially tens of thousands of dummy commits.
Krutonium··on Increasing the lifespan of a bulb makes it worse in every other way
Yeah that is very weird. Personally I even have some LED lights that are going on 15 years old, spent a bit more than I'd like on them at the time, but they were on sale!
Krutonium··on Who does Anubis actually stop?
I do want to note that my website has Anubis, and does not require Javascript. You can configure Anubis to test in other ways, JS is just the default.
Krutonium··on Show HN: VHS Playback Physics Simulator
The rest of the blog is fascinating as well, if you've ever been curious about VCR's, VHS, and specifically the maintenance of them. Oh and deriving correct calibration without known good values!
Krutonium··on FreeInk: Open ecosystem for e-readers
Huh, this would be a fantastic option for my Kobo Touch. It freely flashes whatever firmware you give it, and it'll boot from an SD Card besides.
Krutonium··on Jellyfin founder Andrew leaves team
Surely it should be the StackArr?
Krutonium··on Google Kills Custom Search API on Jan 1, 2027
All I'm sayin' is that Searx exists and can provide JSON.
Krutonium··on DEA to Temporarily Schedule 7-Oh and Related Substances to Protect Public Safety
It's a not-opioid that just plays with the opiate receptors in your brain and can be purchased in a concentrated form at your nearest gas station in a lot of US States.
Krutonium··on DEA to Temporarily Schedule 7-Oh and Related Substances to Protect Public Safety
Good, Kratom (as sold in products like Feel Free) is fucking awful.

Krutonium··on Telegram's t.me domain has been suspended
serverHold is set by the owner of the TLD, not the registrar.
Krutonium··on Linux 0.11 rewritten in idiomatic Rust, boots in QEMU
I still like it. People are having fun playing with their toy and tool. I have no problem with that.
Krutonium··on Arch Linux AUR Hit by Another Wave of Now More Sophisticated Malware Attack
This would amount to auditing the vast majority of open source code found on the Internet. Not even OpenAI or Anthropic seem quite interested in doing that.
Krutonium··on The bottleneck might be the air in the room
Somewhat unrelated, Tom also did a great video where he was put in a low oxygen environment. Similarish effects, differentish cause.
Krutonium··on Google loses fight over record $4.7B EU antitrust fine
And may it be used to prosecute them for the current bullshit they're doing with Android.

Can the EU force Google to divest Chrome and Android? They should.

Krutonium··on Arch Linux AUR Hit by Another Wave of Now More Sophisticated Malware Attack
The scope of nixpkgs is nixpkgs. If every package's entire source code was being audited, then there is no such thing as a sustainable repository of software. There simply isn't enough people, or money for AI, to do it.
Krutonium··on Dolphin Emulator Progress Release 2606
Nintedimort
Krutonium··on Dolphin Emulator Progress Release 2606
Honest Answer: You can play it on the Bus.
Krutonium··on [dead]
