Reiterating why I find so many magazine to be trash nowadays.

Overly set up for SEO, poorly researched and often just crammed with shitty ads. That they completely neglected the formats used by pirating and home content speaks volumes.

That’s why I now often prefer to just look up stuff on enthusiast forums, Reddit or to some extent Lemmy. The last hasn’t gotten as good of an integration with search engines.

I’m not sure about ATMs, they often ran OS/2.

Windows CE often ran media centres or UI panels in things like John Deere tractors or the Fiat 500.

It was also the OS that ran the Dreamcasts UI.

Very important russian airfield attacked. The air defence can’t do s#1t about it and all that’s needed are a few missiles from the 90s!

That guy builds drones like no-one else’s business.

I wish Australia and more countries would invest into small businesses that can build these kind of drones.

The cost to to effectiveness ratio of these is just insane. Ukraine has proven the effectiveness of loitering munitions.

Edit: Fixed typo and grammar.

Thanks for looking into it. It’s just standard TA with mods. I’m sure it can be made to run even more if you buy the steam version.

Linus mentioned in one interview that Steam does amazing work for Linux adoption on the desktop.

The problem is simply that standard Linux software is still a lot of work to get going and maintain. Work I just don’t have time for.

I tried wine recently to see if I can get Total Annihilation to work. I played with Wine in the mid 2000’s and gotten office 2003 to run on Suse then.

OMFG the mess when I recently tried to just run a simple exe that doesn’t even need a full installation.

Adobe sadly don’t just make Photoshop which is a remarkably good product. Even more so with their new features. I use Lightroom and nothing that exists for Linux comes close. All that needs some serious GPU integration.

DaVinci resolve is amazing and a real alternative to Premiere. The problem I see is binary compatibility. Even Linus admits that the Linux desktop has a problem with that.

I do have high hopes for web tech to evolve enough to make cross platform a thing again. Maybe ChromeOS will help there. VS Code is a good example here. With WebGl Vulkan in the browser and OpenCL that should become viable soon.

I buy a lot off eBay. Not that they’re perfect, but at least they’re not owned by Bezoz.

Have you used a gpu intensive application in a VM with good performance?

Adobe software quite heavily relies on cuda or OpenCL.

Well, and there are a lot of them on the road that are illegal because their power and speed exceed the legal limit.

IMHO that doesn’t need to be the case. Just as it is with moat drugs like Cannabis. I’m advocating for legalisation of faster E-Scooters amd E-Bikes with the right legislation.

E-Scooters and E-Bikes can and should be treated like their petrol powered equivalents.

Stay below a maximum power output. In Europe that max is 200w. They should be no more than assisted bicycles.

If you want to go a bit faster then you’re looking at a pedal assisted motorcycle. A MOPED (MOtor + PEDals). Those are limited to 45-50kmh.

If you want to go faster than even that, it’s a motorcycle. Just an electric one. Even with motorcycles you have a bunch of categories. In Europe the A1, A2 and fully open category.

We can open up new paths for A1 which are commonly used by deliver riders to encourage people to get away from car culture.

That would solve the whole issue of people people being idiots on them and the state can make a bit if income through licensing. I’d rather see that than an outright ban as we want smart regulation and innovation.

The platform has been out of control ever since mUsK took over. How long after the twitter blue 🐂💩, was it that Eli Lilly “announced” dropping the cost for insulin?

You really take some risks when you still advertise or do serious business on twitter.

Fuck AFD. The fucking cunt should be sent to do community service for a good long time.

The symbolism is just fucking evil on Ukrainians since they were invaded by Nazis.

How come that every single country that china borders, has border disputes with China? Look it up, every single one.

Please educate us: what happened in Tibet, if China isn’t imperialistic?

China is building naval bases all over the place. And colonizing African Nations? What do you think the belts and roads initiative is all about?

One important factor, why countries have foreign military bases on their land is because they get security guarantees because they fear a foreign invasion. I.e.: Philippines being invaded by China. The Filipinos would rather live under cooperation with the USA than under Chinese rule.

If you love China so hard ,why don’t you live there? If you love hardcore communism so much, visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and killing fields in Cambodia. I’ve been there and I lived under communism.

It’s funny how the most vocal talkies all live in western countries.

Absolutely. In a perfect world, we would supply enough MRAPs, Busmasters and similar vehicles to Ukrainian infantry.

Unfortunately we don’t have enough for our own needs. The Australian military still has G-Wagons. We do have plenty of M113’s and Humvees.

Sure, they’re not as good as the bigger troop transpors, but: what are the alternatives? Usually unarmoured technicals. Realistically speaking, we don’t even have enough of those! I donated to NAFO’s 69th sniffing brigade to buy vehicles.

If I was there, I’d rather sit in a Humvee or M113 than in a technical.

Aw crap. Glad they survived. Also shows the value of actual military vehicles over shitty technicals.

Not sure they would have fared as well in an unarmoured Hilux, Navara or Triton.

Something that surprised me is that there isn’t a better way to collect used cartridges from the machine gun at the top.

Not sure what to think of that large space use across the bottom on a widescreen display.

That’s one reason why I downgraded from windows 11 to windows 10.

In standard KDE, the standard “start menu” at least is quite thin.

I was wondering about that when sensationalist science Youtubers started spreading the footage like wildfire.

A wake up call for us as well.
