Mars does not have a magnetosphere. Any discussion of humans ever settling the red planet can stop right there, but of course it never does. Do you have a low-cost plan for, uh, creating a gigantic active dynamo at Mars's dead core? No? Well. It's fine. I'm sure you have some other workable, sustainable plan for shielding live Mars inhabitants from deadly solar and cosmic radiation, forever. No? Huh. Well then let's discuss something else equally realistic, like your plan to build a condo complex in Middle Earth.

am glad that https://simplex.chat doesn't even need to touch sensitive personal data strong selectors such as phone numbers or email addresses!

a couple of things they got right about uthe future:

  • sitting alone in a bubble
  • depending on over-architectured machines
  • having the illusion to connect to others while only looking at them through something

In last 5 years for me:

  • a pair of decent (second hand) speakers
  • a cheap (blue switches ftw) mechanical keyboard
  • a standing desk
  • an ergonomic chair

(sorry it's not single item...)

I think it should always add:

"I am sorry*, Dave,* but i cannot .... "

The thing I find hard to convey is that FLOSS software is superior to proprietary software for many reasons, most of which are non-technical: FLOSS software is superior to proprietary software if it isn't spying on you, if it's governance is collective, if it's not build to make you pay for things that should be free, if it lets you decide where your data goes, etc...

we're often missing the point when we attempt at side-by-side comparison of FLOSS and proprietary software.. It's usually one-dimentional, and playing on our opponent's field: these companies racketing their users based on rent-based exploitative business models will always have more resources than independant developpers to improve "UX/UI"... so I think this must not be the only prism through which reading these things.

archive.org has a flourish of ROMsets for old machines!

All culture belongs to everyone, therefore should be accessible to everyone.

The sale of goods only concerns those who can and want to afford it.

Sharing is not theft.

Pirates are cool.

wait. unlimited access to healthcare? isn't it "communism" when you're not a retired killer-machine over there?

Can anyone point to the source code please? They claim it is "privacy friendly", so it cannot be proprietary, right? right? right?

Something that plays up to the PS1 and N64?

How about the RG351M or RG351MP?

...and why?

What environment to run on it? RetroArch? RetroArch wrapped into something?

A British judge has ordered the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the United States, where he faces a 175-year sentence. The final decision on Assange’s extradition will now be made by U.K. Home Secretary Priti Patel. Amnesty International’s Simon Crowther spoke outside the courthouse prior to today’s ruling.

Simon Crowther: “Julian Assange is being prosecuted for espionage for publishing sensitive material that was classified. And if he is extradited to the U.S. for this, all journalists around the world are going to have to look over their shoulder, because within their own jurisdiction, if they publish something that the U.S. considers to be classified, they will face the risk of being extradited.”

Vital has a subscription-based model, giving access to proprietary presets and settings, etc.

Vitalium seems to be the free/libre code, expurged from the part connecting to Vital.audio server (anyways, users of free/libre versions are excluded from connecting to it....)

A VERY impressive piece of software synth, apparently rather recent project. super-promising!

Anyone knows about it being packaged or so?
