The question was about client trust, which the server doesn’t. If the shot wasn’t possible, it’s not valid and did not happen.

how do you design a server to be “better” if it has to trust data from a remote client?

Because it doesn’t have to.

The linux kernel contains more profanity than this meme…

Ah yes, that’s the difference. Thanks!

But then they’re drinking irradiated water, no?

Unless it’s really easy to remove the radiation safely, this doesn’t seem like the right solution.

It was new to me too, but a (code) forge is essentially a VCS server with stuff like a wiki and issue tracking. So think GitLab, GoGS/Gitea/Forgejo, BitBucket and all the others.

Sadly not :(

Exactly, permissive licenses such as MIT allow for other people to do a rugpull and change the deal (pray I don’t alter it any further). With open source licenses the community can just fork.

That’s why I always pick AGPL for my projects. Then I can be certain that the code can be freed from greedy hands, and the actual users get all the value of the effort I put in.

VC funding really is making a deal with the devil, because you suddenly have a huge amount of cash, so the startup starts living large (hire more devs, run on expensive cloud infrastructure). But sooner or later they want their money back, plus interest; and few services are profitable, let alone that profitable. So the only thing that startups are usually capable of is to squeeze their users for all they’re worth.

Take a look at all the big startups and see:

• how long it took for them to be profitable
• how much VC funding they got until then

Companies need to pay that back and then some.

And don’t forget that VC’s see this as a perpetual investment, so your revenue must grow year after year, even if you’ve saturated the market.

How are they connected?

If it’s through 3,5mm jack or bluetooth, that should be perfectly fine.

Check the debian wiki for instructions.

( I only recognized FryFry. )

It was fun to see the characters in different roles and animations styles tho.

If you’ll pardon the pun,

This feels like a god-tier shitpost

Yes, a quick web search later I haven’t found a readymade solution.

Setting the volume for specific outputs is not very hard, so maybe a middleground solution is to have two shortcuts. One for “game mode” and one for “music mode” or whatever.

The details depend a bit on the audiostack of your distro, but they all have a cli program with which you can change inputs/outputs and volume; e.g. pactl for pulseaudio and wpctl for wireplumber.

You’ll need a mechanism to find your triggers (I create a firefox tab with youtube/spotify, I have a music player active) and then you can act on it.

Detecting voice in an audiostream is probably technically possible, but that sounds pretty hard to setup.

Why is that?

Thank for translating the Tamarian!

Sokath, his eyes uncovered.

Can you explain how this relates to star wars?

You’re welcome!

Wow, who would have thought?

It seems the AI hype is shrinking (or at least slowing down), since people are more and more critical of it: intellectual property, workers rights, power consumption, climate impacts, usefulness and more.

If you want more reading, I recommend these:

I can’t recommend Ed Zitron’s blog enough: Where’s your Ed at

He did an interview with Adam Conover a month ago, which was also really interesting.

The other blog I highly recommend is The Luddite, e.g. Why is there an AI hype?
