I don't see why it would be cold. It's been in the vacuum of space for decades, it's had nowhere to dissipate heat. One of the main challenges in outer space is dissipating heat, n…

Actual details on the incident: https://github.com/w1b/aisi-mythos-inc-2026-07-28-01-recover... Both the attacker and the target account are very similar and look fake/bots.

> Over one seven-day stretch, he started within the same 10-minute window on five nights, between 9:54 and 10:04 p.m. I wonder if this correlates with Thijs's bedtime schedule, or …

A great deal of shops in the Netherlands don't take cash. Some didn't before 2020, but during 2020 the trend accelerated, and many shops stopped taking cash. Aside from hygiene, it…

In theory, Waydroid exist. In practice, I've failed to ever get it running on several attempts so far.

The push against technical literacy helped a lot in having the masses accept all this crap. A great deal of people don't even understand the concept of installing software if it's …

The first of those is a "publicly traded company", which Americans often call "public", but is entirely different to an actual public company.

Meh, perhaps games from big studios, but the majority of games work fine without DRM. I find indie games and games from small studio a lot more fun and have a lot more soul than mo…

I buy games via Humble Bundle when possible. They give you a link to download a DRM free copy, which I store away in a large drive. In practice, I often end up playing those games …

This is partially because they import into their own system, and then export->import into OSM. At that point, they're considered an integration which imports data. If their apps in…

> Linux is not explicitly banned. Desktop Linux users could access a website and scan a QR code using a supported mobile wallet. That's a weird way of putting it. You'll basically …

How does it handle fixed-size epubs and (most important) how would you expect it to handle it?

Where do you download the OED dictionary? I've never found a source for it, and assumed it was not available publicly.

I also found all existing e-reader software to be lacking, and all I really wanted was a basic reader. I ended up writing my own with Rust and MyPDF (the latter doing all the heavy…

While op uses systemd/udev's internal property mutation mechanism to configure seats, not that sway (and likely other compositors) allow you to just configure the device-to-seat as…

Yup, and it's quite non-trivial. The typical GTK application out there can't handle multi-touch and can rarely even handle several mouse events (e.g.: mouse-wheel scroll while drag…

In fact, you can also have a different touch input devices per seat! I'm not aware of actual hardware that would make this feasible, but if you invent a touchscreen which recognise…

TLDR: "we're not in favour of banning our competitor's products, but we do advocate banning hardware exports to foreign countries where competitors are located". There's also a ver…

You're forgetting about ASML, which is European and makes the actual machines to produce a huge portion of the world's high-end chips.

Perhaps it was a niri-specific thing (although they claim it's KDL), but it rejected simple strings without quotes.

I wouldn't call KDL "established"; it's honestly pretty niche. It looks _similar_ to pre-existing configuration formats, but KDL is very picky about syntax. I.e.: single word strin…

Python went from setup.py to pyproject.toml, but pyproject.toml declares a build-system, which is another package which all the complex logic from setup.py. Granted, it's a "simple…

Pricing is actually far cheaper than that. There's two tiers of pricing: Chinese and US. If you sign up with non-Chinese phone number, you're bucketed into US, you get US prices, c…
