To everyone when they see horrible privacy news about Microsoft replying with:
"I don't care, I use Linux"
Sure, you do. But does your medical clinic do? Does your therapist do? Does your family member typing a personal email to you in Word before sending it do too?
This is a systemic problem.
You cannot protect your own data only by using Linux yourself. You must also demand stronger regulations and enforcement to obligate organizations around to protect your data as well.
@slyka I've been using wgpu, the Rust implementation of the WebGPU API, which afaict closely resembles Vulkan, and… yeah, it's a lot of setup. I did start by copy-pasting from a tutorial. but it started seeming sensible to me surprisingly quickly, and I've been able to build abstractions that make sense to me and fit the needs of my project. and I appreciate that there's a lot of support for telling me exactly what I got wrong, which I've done plenty of times. except I have to be very careful about memory layouts for data shared between shaders and the host, and I wish there were any tools for checking that for me
@jamey yeah, some of the flexibility that comes with these more modern APIs seems really cool, but like… the rendering was not supposed to be the main point of the project, so I'm trying to kinda keep it as simple as possible so I can focus on the more important stuff like the actual video decoding. but I'm starting to run into the limits of what raylib can do, so I feel like bare openGL is a nice compromise. I'll definitely look into vulkan at some point though
@misty lmao, we can only hope, right?
@swiftyshq Yeah, hopefully? Haha

@natematias Thanks for posting this. I read your review and Wilson's piece in BAS...interesting stuff. Until recently, a friend of mine was a senior editor at SciAm and I'm curious if he knows the Bethe/Garwin story.
@brianvastag Thanks Brian. I was FASCINATED too!
I've experienced the push and pull of editors looking for a particular story and the negotiation that comes with that. But never something that extensive!
Testing in the terminal. Inline prompts work (almost) perfectly there, too.
@jk Lagrange runs in a terminal?!
@nobody the spack concretizer can sometimes do this because we formulate the logic program as an optimization to minimize error facts. genius idea from greg becker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0AB4g2KDX8
@nobody we print a warning if we cut out from a valid but suboptimal result before the time limit

I like Iraola’s subs. He clearly told Koumas to just run dammit, and Koumas absolutely did. Won the ball back on pure effort late.
Munoz looks like a winner. Quick, decisive, and direct. If he can build some chemistry, he can go places.
Gakpo was really good after a rough start, Less like last year’s cut in and shoot into a defender. More drifting about to present for the ball. More Salah-like lifted passes across the box.
Alisson? Not a great game. 🫣

Had to time shift because of a family obligation. Just went FT and I am tired. Isak was really poor. Frimpong is fast, but lacks finesse. Conor Bradley cannot get healthy soon enough. Wirtz, unpopular opinion, was better than the punditry suggests.
Both teams can hate Stuart Attwell and they’d both be right. He was dreadful, but ultimately the penalty at the end was correct. Frankly, Wissa should have been off for a second yellow on a trip to stop a wide open counter.
If you live outside of the United States,
do you know if your country has a plan if the US government decided to cut access to Google, Microsoft, and Amazon products overnight?
What would happen to your work?
What would happen to your hospitals?
What would happen to your emergency services?
What would happen to your banks?
Imagine overnight, for all those public services and private businesses, no more Windows, no more AWS, no more Google and Microsoft office software, no more remote files storage, no more emails, no more online maps, no more videochats.
What would happen?
Is your country prepared?
@Em0nM4stodon not sure about the bigger picture, but many govt offices use Linux. As far as what the incumbents think they need to function, we have great home made surveillance and identification/oppression systems already in place.
@hipsterelectron Iterative optimization like?

I keep finding myself wondering… now that it’s becoming clear that most people are going to be priced out of regular electronic device upgrades for years, and the ones that do exist are likely to be much more RAM-constrained then before, are apps/websites going to have to be much more well-optimized than they have been for the past decade or so?
@misty I've had this thought too, but I think they won't, and everything is just going to suck more to use. This will especially be the case as more devs are giving up their autonomy to LLMs.
Someone complained that I've been posting about cats too much lately. So naturally, tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Louis Wain Cat Blanket. Keep the complaints coming buddy, there's more where this came from.

Thinking about the feature-phone I'm looking to build... I reckon if/when I've got something together, CrowdSupply would be the appropriate site for selling a professionally-assembled limited run! Whilst benefiting from bulk discounts.
In such plans I'm fantasizing about saying "If I sell enough I'll include some random licensed digital art inside each product, getting your collection started." Stuff like music, ebooks, audio-dramas, & the like.
I'd want to pay the artists for their promotion.
Just picked up milk and noticed the label says "100% milk from real cows". This wasn't something I was worried about before now.
There were a couple of scandals a few years back.
The chinese were adding melamine and the australians were adding a milk by product.
Both countries were forced to lift their game pronto.
