Even more stupid is the awful confusing a YouTube editor (one who edits videos for a youtuber) and a journalist editor (someone who leads a team of article writers). then removing Asmongold's checkmark on Xitter because they exposed his stupidity to the world. Felon's brain is fried beyond recovery.

Lynch had a problem with visually representing the voice control that Bene Gesserit use. I think the new Dune did a good job with the sound processing to convey that. But I guess back then he thought audiences wouldn't catch that the victims of the voice weren't just following commands but were in fact unable to disobey the commands. On the book the Bene Gesserit actually taught the Fremen some of the weirding way, which is indeed kungfu in space. On Villeneuve's Dune they also dropped that part of the plot and instead leaned more heavily on the access to atomic weapons and the military use of worm riding.

I think it is ironic that most of Villeneuve's Dune Soundtrack by Hans Zimmer has a ton of heavily processed electric guitar.

Yeah, that's absolutely valid. But you run into the same problems again, what the hell is an ostree? Would ask the average gamer. Even some newer changes to bootc will make rpm-ostree unnecessary in the future. Flatpaks are not mandatory even. You could run bluefin or bazzite entirely on appimages.

At least the term cloud native is standardized by the cloud native computing foundation, it has a long story, it's already known or familiar to a lot of people. And the most important, I think, it is technology agnostic. Even if docker dies and another tech takes its role, or if kubernets are replaced with something else, or even is rpm-ostren is no longer used, cloud native still means the same thing. As for bad smells, that's just language, words can mean many things at once, we just live with it.

I'm sorry, but it is a software engineering term. Maybe not from the area you are familiar with, but cloud native was the raging buzzword…about 10 years ago on the server side. Now it's just a standard way to develop software and it's part of the common parlance. It is the philosophical background, if you will, of snaps, flatpaks, kubernetes, docker, pods. I mean, the entire business model of AWS and dozens of cloud providers, data centers, mass hosting solutions, saas, etc. is based on the cloud native idea. You use the term and everyone in the room knows exactly which principles and development pipeline you'll use.

Just like all language, it is just a shortcut to convey a complex meaning. Like, I don't know what distro QE stands for. But that's not my area of expertise. I bet there's a good reason it is abbreviated and that you use it on your résumé. It might convey something to a recruiter or not, about what your general expertise and skills could be. Same here, it's just a term that describes the important and distinctive part of the project. Because for everything else there's nothing out of the ordinary on bazzite, not even the gaming stuff. The makers don't even like to call it a distro because they use other people's distros. What's unique is the delivery pipeline and the config, and that sounds even worse, marketing wise. I'll share you some interviews later.

This is an interview with Jorge, who was around here on the thread earlier answering questions.

And here's an interview on the fedora podcast with bazzite makers.

It looked like they were mimicking cars to me, not mice. Not saying that it wouldn't be a cool concept if it has an optical sensor. But they didn't show any visual feedback to imply they were controlling any kind of cursor. If that was the implication, it's obvious it was a rushed marketing piece.

[–] dustyData 3 points 19 hours ago

I think that's still the DS. The Switch got close, but didn't beat it, and now that attention is on the Switch2, it probably won't.

[–] dustyData 1 points 19 hours ago (7 children)

Which mouse thing? they seem to be exactly all the same inputs the Switch 1 already had.

Wait until I tell you about this weird concept, the zero…

If encryption is a must, then use Tuta. German company, privacy focused, open source all around, no surveillance, free tier with encryption available, encrypted calendars, accessible paid subscriptions with actually useful services.

At my organization (tens of thousands of machines) IT has been racking their brains because W11 is such a pain to manage at scale in comparison to W10. It's been causing more work, so much that the upgrade was postponed to next year and are considering paying for the extended support. W11 really is just that shitty. Managing the upgrades alone feels like arcane magic.

Venezuelans are ready to throw off the dictatorship. Will the international community support us?

By Maria Corina Machado

I am writing this from hiding, fearing for my life, my freedom, and that of my fellow countrymen from the dictatorship led by Nicolás Maduro.

Mr. Maduro didn’t win the Venezuelan presidential election on Sunday. He lost in a landslide to Edmundo González, 67% to 30%. I know this to be true because I can prove it. I have receipts obtained directly from more than 80% of the nation’s polling stations.

We knew that Mr. Maduro’s government was going to cheat. We have known for years what tricks the regime uses, and we are well aware that the National Electoral Council is entirely under its control. It was unthinkable that Mr. Maduro would concede defeat.

We Venezuelans have done our duty. We have voted out Mr. Maduro. Now it is up to the international community to decide whether to tolerate a demonstrably illegitimate government. The repression must stop immediately, so that an urgent agreement can take place to facilitate the transition to democracy. I call on those who reject authoritarianism and support democracy to join the Venezuelan people in our noble cause. We won’t rest until we are free.

Este viernes 16 de febrero se cumple una semana de la detención de la activista de derechos humanos y presidenta de la ONG Control Ciudadano, Rocío San Miguel, a quien apresaron agentes de seguridad cuando se disponía a salir de Venezuela, junto con su hija, desde el aeropuerto de Maiquetía el pasado 9 de febrero.

La candidata María Corina Machado, de Vente Venezuela, obtenía 552.430 votos que representaba el 93, 13% del total con el 26,06% de las actas escrutadas que la dan como ganadora de la consulta interna de la plataforma unitaria demócratica, anunció la madrugada de este 23 de octubre el presidente de la Comisión Nacional de Primaria, Jesús María Casal, al dar a conocer el primer boletín del proceso.

Después de denunciar un bloqueo en sus servidores, que impidieron transmitir los primeros resultados, la favorita del proceso sumaba 552.430 votos, de 601.010 mil de los que se habían totalizado hasta el momento.

En segundo lugar estaba Carlos Prosperi, candidato de Acción Democrática, quien durante la tarde del domingo dijo en un video que no iba a reconocer los resultados al sostener que hubo irregularidades durante la jornada.
