"When someone like Thiel says this publicly, it is a signal to the donor class: the trade is over. The upside has been captured. Get out before the midterms. Every tech oligarch who followed Thiel into the MAGA orbit now could follow him out, except may be Elon."

If I were one of the people who had been trapped in my own country by the Berlin Wall, I would be really angry at this comparison. Instead, it just makes me smile wearily.

"Ok, so reading the article, there's a partial answer: the three that have EMALS (one in service, two under construction) will keep it. The fourth ship will supposedly be redesigned, which could delay it - but its construction will probably outlive Trump's decision and could be rescinded."

"I'm sure Xi Jinping - whose new aircraft carriers #3 and #4 all have EMALS - is laughing himself silly."

"This is absolutely ridiculous. For all its potential pitfalls, the Ford aircraft carriers are built entirely around the EMALS system, and "replacing" it with steam catapults - which require large amounts of space and personnel - is simply not a realistic option."

Thank you! I did not put much effort into mobile optimization so far. The game is clearly meant to be played on a Desktop computer.

Thank you! I just prompt them. :D My visual model is mostly Unavowed:

Yes, I use it actually for something very unsual (I guess): Vibe coding a classic Point & Click adventure. Only in German so far and very early in development:

Ah, thanks for the hint! Probably better than, but still Five Eyes. The legal details I‘m not aware of in this case.

As long as the company's legal headquarters are in the U.S., U.S. agencies have access to the data under the Cloud Act—and non-U.S. citizens have absolutely no legal recourse when it comes to U.S. services

> but Amiga multitasking wasn’t memory-protected

This was not the case for Windows 95/98 and ME, either BTW IIRC. Only with Windows XP Microsoft introduced memory protection for the mass market.

> I'm still chasing the idea of recapturing some of that.

Me too. I wrote a blog post about it: https://text.tchncs.de/r3nun0mxs9

"From a developer's point of view, the 68000 provides a full suite of 32-bit operations but has a 16-bit external data bus and is implemented using a 16-bit arithmetic logic unit, so 32-bit computations are transparently handled as multiple 16-bit values at a performance cost. Also, while addresses are 32-bit, the chip is limited to 16 MB of physical memory using the lower 24 of the address bits.[35][36] The later Amiga 2500, Amiga 3000, Amiga 4000 and Amiga 1200 models use fully 32-bit, 68000-compatible processors from Motorola with improved performance and larger addressing capability."

Grok seems to be the Joe Rogan podcasts of LLMs.

I was born in 1982—so it’s not as if I’ve only just discovered Myst. What I did find astonishing, however, was that in 1997—four years after its release (which felt like an eternity back then)—Myst was still the second-best-selling PC game in the U.S. and worldwide. In first place: its sequel, Riven.

Riven wasn’t released until late October 1997. It took the game just over two months to overtake every other title sold throughout the entire year and shoot to the top of the U.S. and global PC annual charts. Over 1.5 million copies were sold in a very short time.

Knoppix got really popular in Germany in the 2000s when it was still common that PC magazines were sold with CD-ROMs. Especially c't, Germany's most prestigious computer magazine, made Knoppix popular with their bootable Linux CDs for data rescue issues.

I would have subscribed to that before Trump‘s second term. Nowadays for many Europeans great product is not a necessary feature to choose European over American.
