There are tools to deals with this sort of thing.

Separation of powers exists for a reason. It's basic civics that's being violated here. The details of the case are unimportant and a red herring.

The way to fix it is to change the constitution (for example [1], although bigger changes are probably needed, IMHO anyway, but this is a good start) but the constitution is so hard to change that this is not really feasible in the short to medium term. And making it easier to change the constitution is a catch-22.

And while the Democratic party is obviously tons better than the Republican party, that's only because the Republican party is so awful. The Dems seem to have only tepid interest to fix this at best.

This is how Go works: you import by URL, e.g. "example.com/whatever/pkgname", which is presumed to be a VCS repo (git, mercurial, subversion, etc.) Versioning is done by VCS tags and branches. You "publish" by adding a tag.

While VCS repos can and have been compromised, this removes an entire attack surface from the equation. If you read every commit or a diff between two tags, then you've seen it all. No need to also diff the .tar.gz packages. I believe this would have prevented this entire incident, and I believe also the one from a few weeks ago (AFAIK that also only relied on compromised npm accounts, and not VCS?)

The main downside is that moving a repo is a bit harder, since the import path will change from "host1.com/pkgname" to "otherhost.com/pkgname", or "github.com/oneuser/repo" to "github.com/otheruser/repo". Arguably, this is a feature – opinions are divided.

Other than that, I can't really think of any advantages a "publish package"-step adds? Maybe I'm missing something? But to me it seems like a relic from the old "upload tar archive to FTP" days before VCS became ubiquitous (or nigh-ubiquitous anyway).

The reason these compromised packages typically don't make it in to e.g. Debian is because this all tends to be discovered quite quickly, before the package maintainer has a chance to update it.

I am absolutely NOT a fan of "tough on crime" type stuff. By and large I feel the US criminal justice system is an inhumane cruel monstrosity. But the conditions were not all that unreasonable (except the weed stuff) and all of this smells of bad faith on the part of this couple.

But Musk is hardly a unique case, and his racism is just part of the "Make Racism Great Again" movement that has, especially over the last year or so, become exceedingly explicit. You can see this here on HN as well.

Or maybe it's more "Make 1820s Great Again" movement, because also from today: "Women’s suffrage is apparently up for debate again in America" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/sep/13/womens...

The right-wing persecution complex is not a new phenomenon. Bill O'Reilly and the likes were constantly going on about it in the 90s, and Jerry Falwell's "Moral Majority" – which more or less created the Christian Right – already had elements of it in the 80s. But this really takes things to a new level, and is at least potentially laying the groundwork for something rather ugly.

Maybe it's better now with Wayland and that check can be removed. I don't know.

While I agree it can be annoying at times, I somewhat tend to agree as there is tons of useful formatting that one could want. And if we do Latin alphabet, then should we also do Greek? Cyrillic? Arabic? CJK?

Probably less, not more. Many distros either stopped supporting 32bit systems, or are planning to. As the announcement says, that's why they're stopping support now.

Maybe RISC-V? It's right there in the name, but I haven't really looked at it. However, there are no RISC-V chips that have anywhere near the performance x86 or ARM has, so it remains to be seen if RISC-V can be competitive with x86 or ARM for these types of things.

RISC is one of those things that sounds nice and elegant in principle, but works out rather less well in practice.

Different CPUs, different specs.

And any CPU from the last decade will just throttle down if it gets too hot. That's how the entire "Turbo" thing works: go as fast as we can until it gets too hot, after which it throttles down.

So yeah, with "New Zealand" as context a device like that makes more sense.

Ah yes, because that's the only thing that matters. Nihilistic capitalism at its finest – there no morality beyond economics. Everything that makes economic sense is moral because it makes economic sense. Whether it actually does is rather dubious by the way, as all of this has the very real possibility of massively damage these businesses in the medium to long term – so also nihilistic short-termism at its finest.

Going over things, the dividing line between "good" and "superb" is somewhat arbitrary, so I included both, because well, why not? I did it like that to mimic the commonly used "5 star" rating, but maybe it should just be three: "bad", "okay", "good". Dunno.

Also note that I haven't played many games. I'm just now getting around to The Witcher 3, which is over ten years old. So...

"-" starts a new entry, followed by one or more titles, followed by "tag: value", followed by whatever I wanted to write (if anything) as Markdown. It lists "superb" first, alphabetically, then "good".

Many people don't want/need all of it, and they can buy just the board without paying for stuff they don't need.

This is not a deception. Stop spreading misinformation.

Right now the rankings are: bad (388), meh (191), okay (71), good (63), superb (12). Turns out I dislike a lot of games. This is also why I started to just pirate things first and then buy if I like it; I have 558 games in my GOG library and I barely played (or like) >80% of it.

I can recommend keeping reviews by the way; I've since started doing this for tons of stuff, from games to films to TV episodes to wine to coffee, and writing things down really helps narrow down what you like or dislike about things. By keeping it private you can write whatever you like and don't need to do a "full" review. For example my entire review for Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound (rated "meh") is "Too fast-paced for my liking. Also don't really like the controls." And for me, that's enough.

I can write a long essay on why I like or dislike games, but to be honest I'd rather be playing Silksong.

It's unclear if they would make more money if it was much more expensive. I picked it up for €19.50 today; not sure I would have paid €80.

From their website on how it works:

"Every piece of fresh produce has a unique spectral fingerprint. We have collected a vast amount of spectral data for many different varieties and maturity levels. Our system combines this with other data sources and uses AI algorithms to analyze the data and determine what the expected shelf-life is."

So basically, it just looks at the colour. And "AI" because it's 2025.
