"Is the macbook neo good for Gaming" the Influencers howl, looking at multivariate equations including the price of RAM and the number of teraflops that a GPU can produce

you dolts, this machine is about to be in the hands of like ten million children. its price point means it is highly likely going to be The Computer for an entire generation. it already plays a huge catalog of casual games just fine. the demo units in the apple stores are all playing Apple Arcade titles with no difficulty.

It’s 2026 and Sunshine Week ☀️is here once again! The Foilies, a project from EFF and MuckRock shines a light on government agencies and officials that have demonstrated an utter disdain for transparency. Check out the “honorees” for the The Foilies 2026: eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/foil

The Foilies 2026

Established in 2015, The Foilies are an annual project by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and MuckRock to recognize the agencies, officials and contractors that thwart the public's right to know. We give out these tongue-in-cheek "awards" during Sunshine Week (March 15-21), a collective effort by media and advocacy organizations to highlight the importance of open government.

Of course eventually, chickens will come home to roost. Amazon has been laying off tens of thousands of engineers over the last few years, sometimes claiming to be replacing them with "AI".

The result is brain drain, and thus outages big and small:

Amazon brain drain finally caught up with AWS

쇼가쿠칸 책 전부 불매하는게 현실적이지도 않고 작가가 죄가 있는 것도 아닌데 작품 구매하기 전 멈칫하는 건 어쩔 수 없지. 일단 위시리스트에 집어넣고 다른 만화 먼저 사보게 된다.

Today, I coded a calculator app in Python, and when I first tried the shebang, it didn't run, but I eventually found the problem.

It turns out line endings in files matter. I kept using windows line endings because that's how I end my txt files. I had to switch it to Linux/Unix for the shebang to work :blobfoxreinderp:

It's not the best-looking one, as the square root operator text just says "Sqrt".

When looked at the right way, init systems like systemd, launchd, etc are build systems; instead of building a piece of software, they build a working environment. This is more than just a vague metaphor: most reasonable init systems will have a way of expressing dependencies, expected outputs, etc.

What *is* legitimately different is that init systems keep running after the artifact is built, and have rules that dynamically fire; EG: a rule that fires when network configurations change, a rule that fires every hour, etc. In a sense, this means that init systems are build systems that are always in watch mode, and support dynamic rules.

It would be interesting to transfer these rules across our analogy, and experiment with a build-style system that supports dynamic watch rules. Most fancy build systems already support an ad-hoc form of this via hot-reloading, but a principled version seems very useful!

to give you a counterexample, i loved the Life Is Strange dreaming sequence chapter (ok this is a game but still) — that was genuinely disconcerting and eery and moving. i thought it did a similar kind of thing to the “donut” but actually emotionally engaging

for example i hated the “maybe it would be nice to do taxes” scene or whatever because it sort of denied the possibility that she can be successful AND not care at all for this guy. like why introduce multiverse when only one emotional reality is allowed. boring

Maďarský premiér Viktor Orbán dnes na shromáždění v Budapešti prohlásil, že i v současném turbulentním světě zachová v Maďarsku bezpečí a klid. Informovala o tom agentura AP, která upozornila, že ministerský předseda i jeho politický soupeř Péter Magyar vyzvali své příznivce, aby dnes u příležitosti výročí revoluce z roku 1848 vyšli do ulic metropole a předvedli svou sílu před dubnovými volbami.

@@reiver ⊼ (Charles) :batman: @silverpill This is simply because little is written about Forte on the Web.

However, I was there when Forte was born back in September, 2024. I was on (streams) back then. Mike Macgirvin had implemented FEP-ef61 in the "nomad" branch of the streams repository a few months ago to test it. When he was confident enough, he merged the "nomad" branch into the regular "dev" branch. In July, 2024, he merged the "dev" branch into the "release" branch, causing the FEP-ef61 implementation to be rolled out to daily-driver (streams) servers.

However, it was a maze of Nomad and Zot6 and non-nomadic ActivityPub and FEP-ef61 identities for everything that boiled over. (streams) wouldn't federate with anything anymore, not even with itself. My two still existing (streams) channels, @Jupiter Rowland's (streams) outlet and @Jupiter's Fedi-Memes on (streams), were both affected by this. They were amongst the very first (streams) channels created on an account with FEP-ef61 DID support.

Mike would spend half of the summer trying to figure out what had happened and how to fix it. Even while (streams) was still broken, Forte was born in August, 2024 when Mike forked the streams repository and ripped all traces of Nomad and Zot6 support out, probably also in order to get rid of the corresponding IDs and facilitate debugging.

This means that FEP-ef61, which had literally caused this whole mayhem and which has to be considered responsible for Forte's very existence, was a) implemented in the streams repository when it was forked into Forte and b) not removed from Forte post-fork. It would not have made any sense to remove FEP-ef61 when one reason why Forte was made at that point in history was in order to debug FEP-ef61.

Sidenotes: Mike managed to fix (streams). This whole issue burned him out so much that he officially quit developing Fediverse software, effective September 1st, 2024, midnight. He still carries on working on both (streams) and Forte because nobody else does, what with how many people even use them.

Just now returned from a fantastic winter adventure in the White Mountains, NH. Perfect weather and trail conditions allowed me to hike a substantial loop up high -- first ascending to a summit, then hiking a section of the ridge (hiking up and over other peaks), and ending by descending from the last peak. A great day of hiking with amazing views!

Photo of me standing on the mountain ridge. I am wearing sunglasses, a beanie cap, and a blue coat. I am holding two trekking poles in my right hand. The ridge is covered with snow and a peak (number two in the sequence) is behind me. Clear blue skies overhead with some wispy white clouds. I had just begun hiking down the saddle of the first peak and was on my way to the second peak (my back is to the second peak as I posed for this pic). Franconia Ridge, White Mountains, New Hampshire. The first peak was Mt. Lafayette which I turned around and faced for this pic. The second peak which I was heading toward (and is behind me) is Mt. Truman.Photo of my first view of the first peak that I was heading toward on my initial ascent up to the mountain ridge. I had already snowshoed up the mountain for nearly two hours and it still seemed so far away! The peak is shown off in the distance as part of the ridge. In the foreground are short evergreen trees as viewed from the trail. The terrain is shown to be sloping steeply away from the trail toward a valley which was between the trail and the peak at this point. Sky overhead is solid blue. Mt. Lafayette as viewed from Old Bridle Path.Photo of first peak as viewed from the third peak. (The second peak is lower than the first and third, allowing the first peak to be seen easily). The ridge is covered mostly with snow with some rocks showing. Blue sky overhead with white wispy clouds. Mt Lafayette (peak 1) as viewed from Mt. Lincoln (peak 3). Peak 2 is Mt. Truman.Photo of trail in snow-covered forest. The trail is a trench in the snow, pounded out by many hikers wearing different types of traction devices on their feet (snowshoes, microspikes, ....). Evergreen trees surround the trail and are covered with snow. Old Bridle Path.

買了microSD Express，然後資料從主機抄到卡上好像有錯誤，遊戲有時候啟動不了

之後不停試著轉移、傳送弄了一堆有的沒的，弄的最後連正常介面都開不了，被逼重設主機

幸好資料都在伺服器上面，Pokopia完整無缺 :blobcat_boronaki: 要我重頭玩會死…
