I try my best to do this, and find lots of great new music.

I still find a lot of new popular music just doesn’t do it for me, and I think it’s because as you’ve heard more music, the it’s harder to find something that sounds fresh.

When I was in the peak of that chart I was really into stuff like Spacehog, who seemed really cool to me at the time, but probably would have sounded a bit derivative to my parents. At the same time my dad loved Smashing Pumpkins enough to buy all their albums…

A glass-half-full type of person would say they’ve created a $1B business opportunity for General Atomics

Because it wasn’t obvious to me from the article, and I was trying to figure out whose sovereign tech fund it is:

The Sovereign Tech Agency is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation and is a subsidiary of SPRIND, the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation.

For me the scariest thing someone could do on my pc is exfiltrate all the data from my home directory which is readable by my user account.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but that’s harm to me without root access.

This is a good article because it immediately made me feel stupid for not knowing about O_PATH.

One Pink Floyd album and now we have to deprogram everyone’s misconceptions

Furthermore, a peer review process is planned, through which the consortium members will mutually check and certify their operating systems and smartphone or tablet models. “This is intended to create transparency and replace trust with traceability.”

Still doesn’t sound very open.

I should be able to tell my bank to only trust devices running an OS signed by the grapheneos key, and more importantly I should be able to tell them to trust an OS signed by my key.

Edit: I don’t mean to shit on this too hard. It might be the best next step.

When buying a laptop in 2026, you really need to consider how easy it’s going to be to keep it running with parts you’ve scavenged from other road-warriors.

But in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, it was contracting.

So the point of this speech was: don’t make the mistake of fighting fascism again.

I just finished Normal People, which was my first Sally Rooney book. I loved it, but I wouldn’t say it had a lot of political theory, just light commentary by the characters. I take it you recommend Beautiful World?

I’m currently reading The Bricks That Built the Houses by Kae Tempest. It might be a good candidate, but I’m not far enough through to really recommend it yet.

Some that come to mind:

• Han Kang - We Do Not Part or Human Acts
• Michael Ondaatje - In the Skin of a Lion or Anil’s Ghost
• James Baldwin - Another Country

It obviously won’t work for everyone, but for remote access I’ve been very impressed with waypipe. I use it to pull windows from headless machines onto my main workstation, like X forwarding.

I’d like something for persistence, like wprs, but it’s not quite there yet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Safety_Amendment#Platforms_affected https://www.esafety.gov.au/about-us/industry-regulation/social-media-age-restrictions/which-platforms-are-age-restricted

eSafety does not have a formal role in declaring which services are age-restricted social media platforms. In the absence of any rules made by the Minister of Communications specifying a service is either an age-restricted social media platform or not an age-restricted social media platform, any determination that a service is or is not an age-restricted social media platform is a matter for the court.

Services which do not currently meet the definition of ‘age-restricted social media platform’ should routinely self-assess, including when introducing a new social feature or function or when observing changes in the ways existing and new account holders are using their service.

So technically they need to self-assess based on the legislation, but based on the published lists I really doubt they have anything to worry about.

Yeah I’ve seen this a few times recently.

I think it might be https://github.com/LemmyNet/jerboa/issues/1711

Strange, I’ve never seen that. Have you rebooted the system to make sure it has nothing to do with open files?

I did find one thread that seems related:

btdu is an excellent tool for finding out what’s taking up space in btrfs

Were you running dmesg on another screen or over ssh or something? I’d look in journalctl -b-1 after a reboot.

Is it completely frozen or does it respond to pings etc?

It’s well worth reading the entire paper. It’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever read.
