And it should be stressed that it is not at all clear who is behind said group - we basically know about this group what they have told us. That’s it

Off with your confusion of democracy and invasion

I’m pretty sure you can develop nukes without having your people starve or freeze to death and cutting yourself off of the world entirely, but sure, hail to the king baby

Even if they did, if buying weapons from Russia or China was a crime worth of invasion, the US would need to Invade India and Turkey for example.

I mean, Rust has the massive upsite that it won’t compile in many cases if you fuck things up. Then again, embedded or generally low-level driver-y stuff is still in its infancy in Rust. Relative to C/C++ that is.

There is stuff that you need that has no official Rust support. There is poor documentation and half baked frameworks. There are examples being silently outdated, breaking changes between framework versions, and nighlty-versions from Github mixed in to fix them. And then of course plenty of timing and hardware dependent things you will need to do yourself.

I do this for a living and personally tried to use AI here and there to help me out, but oftentimes it fails miserably. Not always, but very often.

Why can’t they stop users from downloading Chrome by suggesting Firefox 😔

I mean, can’t really tell while FEX has not been extensively tested, can we?

Valve has a great track record with (their contributuons too and use of) Wine, the devs are extremely competent and have been on this for ages, and Valve had any freedom to not choose an ARM chip, as low-power AMD alternatives became viable.

Can you go lower-power with ARM? Probably, but according to Valve it comes with a 10-20% performance hit for x86 Games at the moment. That means efficency takes a hit as well, whereas I would assume for 20% you are as efficient as an x86 chip at best.

My guess is that Valve isn’t doing this to chase some efficiency, but for strategic reasons. They are growing independent from Microsoft, now they want to get independent from the oligopoly that is x86 as well. One thing we cannot forget in this discussion is that ARM is likely much cheaper to get, with much more vendors available, and custom designs being quite common.

Maybe we will see custom ARM hardware with FEX acceleration from/for Valve and suddenly the overhead is almost gone.

Fair, but also: Whatsapp and Instagram are involved too

You can do USB control over browser, at least enough for Keychron to do their keyboard configuration stuff as a web app. It’s pretty cool actually, no need to install anything, even works on Linux

I wonder why so many people bundle Electron when you can make your app run in any browser. Like, you can totally write a program that just launches the browser and makes it load a site from lokal storage

I really hope that we will unite with the Americas against the US and their oppressive government. The EU has been too passive for too long.

I frankly don’t see how this has to do anything with anything. Merz has also openly criticised Israel and, at least briefly, halted arms exports to them. It’s also news to me that being pro-Israel is a (far-)right thing in Germany.

For obvious reasons, Israel and Jews in general are a very touchy topic in Germany and German politics. Until the recent developments in Gaza, it was really hard to find any politician at all that would speak critical of Israel. That is probably because Israel and their institutions tend to respond very harshly to any criticism, and whatever you would said was guaranteed to backfire.

This has somewhat changed since it became hard to deny they are doing some pretty fucked up stuff over there. Blocking arms sales to Israel, even ever so briefly, could be described as a monumental policy shift from the formerly near-unconditional support that Israel was used to.

As far as I’m aware, training and pay are the same for everyone under the new policy

Catgirls? That’s news to me

Based on Valve’s statements, I’m willing to bet it will be more expensive than a PS5 Pro

Although I agree that we shouldn’t overdo it, LEO is not that bad. Everything that’s up there will come down on it’s own. As long as it doesn’t explode and yeets debris into a higher orbit that is

Honestly, the preinstalled spyware aside, Edge is a pretty good browser. It’s, like, Chrome but better

I think the way that CS does it is really the best one. Prevent the simple cheats, record games and let people handle the edge cases based on reports and suspicious activity.

You can on GrapheneOS with sandboxed Play Services

The variant with ABM is crazy effective against drones I hear. Good stuff to keep your skies clear
