to "invest" $3.2bn in in , "drawing on the country's green energy"

When you read that "AI consumes as much energy as a small country", that country is now Sweden.

And this basically means the country's public power infrastructure is being sold out to private interests.

Shit like this makes me livid.

🇩🇪 🚨Achtung: Die bisher auf Eis liegende #Chatkontrolle könnte von den EU-Regierungen doch noch angenommen werden. Frankreich droht ihr zur Mehrheit zu verhelfen.

Swedish is like Linux. It's quite obvious how the language works, and you can make your own words if you care to.

French is Apple. Try to make your own modifications and they will SEND YOU TO JAIL.

English is your grandparents' PC. We have no idea how it works. Where did all these weird plug-in words come from????

Because Voyager 1 is so far from Earth, it takes almost 23 hours for a command to reach it at the speed of light, and the same for a response to reach us back, for a total of close to 50 hours.

Which means that interactions with Voyager 1, currently around 15 billion miles away, are still faster than many Microsoft Windows updates.

Scoop: I obtained the contract Samsung requires independent shops to sign to buy phone repair parts from them.

It requires:

  • "Daily" dumps of customer data
  • The "immediate destruction" of any phones a shop comes across that has third-party parts

Let’s talk about dark mode and accessibility! There’s a myth that dark mode is good for accessibility, because it improves text readability. It's not always true.

I have some broken CSS. I changed the CSS used in the language documentation, and it looks OK with one exception: There is a horizontal scrollbar, and when I move it, it doesn't look good anymore.

Here's a link. The problem should be pretty obvious:

https://kapdemo.dhsdevelopments.com/tutorial.html

I kinda suck at CSS, so I can't fix this. Is there some simple change that can be done to stop the horizontal scrollbar from appearing? (perhaps the method I used to put the menu on the left is wrong?)

Not sure where the JVM "bloat" moral panic comes from. You can have one instance per system and if you're very concerned with space, you can put it in a squashfs image or 7z archive and mount the latter using FUSE. Just ran a test:

27493121 jdk-8u422-jre.7z
28188489 jdk-22+34.7z

For comparison:

5554652 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.a
80555360 /bin/hugo
16661392 /bin/audacity
4906512 /bin/obs

Download a few apps that statically link to glibc (even though in most cases it's questionably legal...) and JVM no longer feels like bloat.

@kspalaiologos@fedi.absturztau.be avatar

If anything, I would panic that all the "C replacements" always statically link to everything wasting space and that every electron app I install bundles the same stuff over and over again so that you can't get rid of it and have one runtime per system.

By the way, Voyager 1 is back online, sending engineering status data. Next step, getting the science data going again. Every time I think about the Voyagers I can't help but smile. Damn NASA/JPL, et al. knew how to build good stuff back then. And the best use of plutonium ever.
