Honestly, +1 for Nation Builder. Generic isn’t necessarily a problem. It gives space for the gameplay itself to define the game’s identity, rather than its title.

Could be a non-native speaker using an LLM to translate with a specific tone

Debian 13.

Tried open suse, but on my laptop it was slow and loud and the battery would die almost instantly (had to make it hibernate rather than suspend if I wanted it to make it through the night).

Installed Debian 13 and it feels like a new laptop. Not sure what exactly made the difference between the two but I’m not complaining…

Before we all jump ship to linux phones, is it possible that custom android ROMs can remove this feature?

Not sure I like their definition of declarative. I’d instead say that a config is “declarative” if the result of applying that configuration is independent of the current state of the system.

You know, the more I think about this, the more I bristle at Dyson claiming this will solve Britain’s food security problem.

Firstly, this kind of system seems limited to small cash crops rather than staple foods. (Good luck growing wheat on these.)

More importantly, Dyson has personally done far more to harm British food security than this gadget could offset. He was an ardent Brexiteer, which resulted in substantial barriers to importing food from our closest neighbors. (He also then immediately started relocating his business to Singapore in a stunning show of confidence in post-Brexit Britain)

These people don’t want to save the world. They just want to look like heroes

Not saying I disagree, but out of curiosity I looked up the yield of a conventional strawberry field, which is apparently 15-25 tons per hectare, or 11-18% of your threshold.

I agree that this would likely never be economically viable for strawberries, as I imagine it’d cost way more than £1M for a “hectares worth” of this setup.

More importantly, I don’t consider strawberries vital to our food security, unlike Dyson

Most of their quotes come from this Ono guy…

Ono, who is also a freelance mathematical consultant for Epoch AI.

Ahhh, there it is.

There’s something chilling about an expert being asked if a statement represents their opinion, them saying “no”, then the statement appearing regardless but attributed to “some experts”

Its actually GNU image manipulation program, so pretty much.

Or “Green Is My Pepper” if you ask RMS…

Just to lob a controversial thought in there: There may be some challenges the game industry faces that aren’t solely “capitalism bad”. The most compelling one I’ve heard is that, as games as a medium they have to increasingly compete with a growing back catalogue of classics.

Between that and the rise of indie games, it gets increasingly risky to invest in large projects.

(To try and preempt some comments: I am not saying that investors are “right” to pull out of the games industry. I just want people to consider whether the problem, and hence the solution, is more complicated than they first thought)

There’s a river Foss that runs through York. Brings a new meaning to sending patches upstream…

Yeah, I’m leaning toward this option tbh.

If we got to the point where popular machines had custom images with all the necessary extra drivers etc, it might be a value add. But for now I’m not seeing a huge benefit

Yeah, thinking I might have to do something similar to start the services after login. Unfortunately they need to run as root, so it’ll be tricky to avoid having a second password prompt every time I login

Some updates after sleeping on it and trying some morning debugging:

• It’s actually either service being enabled that prevents login
• It’s a gnome-shell issue. Logging into a tty is fine, and shows that it’s gnome-shell crashing when trying to log-in normally

Maybe it’s time to go back to debian…

Keep the files in a dedicated torrents folder then make symlinks to where you actually want them?

Be aware there are basically two different things called Owncloud. There’s still the original php version, which is similar to nextcloud but worse (not open source, smaller plugin ecosystem I think)

On the other hand is owncloud “infinite scale” (or ocis). This is the thing entirely written in go. But as others have pointed out, it’s little more than a file server at this point.

IMO the self-hosting community is really missing a self-contained “all the DAVs” server (files, calendar, contacts). Baikal etc seem like a great start, but it would be great to have somewhere to get those parts pre-assembled. Until then, nextcloud works for me.

Its called “modern standby” or something, and is the main option for suspending windows laptops I believe
