Peglin, which is a Peggle/roguelike… so (looks at stats) I have less than a 25% chance of survival, although I normally choose to make life harder.

… sailors who are out on these boats for twelve months at a time and we are unable to resupply them. Why? Because Pete Hegseth hid the fact that Iran destroyed the main supply base that the United States has in the Gulf. He did not make that public in press conference after press conference.

So it’s just the public that was kept in the dark and Trump, etc are in the know?

The phrasing is a bit odd - it kinda seems that Hegseth’s hiding of that news is why they couldn’t resupply, not the destruction itself.

I found an article covering the destruction of NSA Bahrain (the base in question).

Are you American? As a European, it seems that Americans are obsessed with therapy, whereas I don’t think it’s at all common over here.

Weird - most cats don’t like tin foil and you can use it to stop them jumping up on counter surfaces.

I’m guessing it mostly flew in circles, since it’s a test flight that happened “at Plattsburgh International Airport” instead of between two locations. 27 minute flight, whatever that’s worth.

No, 4% beer will cause vasopressin suppression, and you’ll urinate more water than the volume of the beer. More beers will worsen the effect.

The breakeven ABV point for most people of around 2.8%, but some people find that even a 0.5% “nonalcoholic” beer has a diuretic effect.

The comment in question was clearly tongue in cheek, calm down.

I think they were adding the missing words from your title

Some top tier charts in there

It’s great, but not very subtle

It was from the same project that created Friendica, and they definitely did a lot of things first or early, although the W3C have got most people using ActivityPub now (just one of the protocols Hubzilla speaks). Probably the standout feature is account migration - there’s work towards supporting this in ActivityPub, but it is a long way from being what Hubzilla allows.

The one thing he didn’t plan for was that auto-uploading the files this way required a paid account.

“There was really only one reasonable solution: my hamster now has Strava Premium,” de Buck said.

Love the commitment to the bit. I was unsurprised to learn that the owner is a physicist and an injured runner meaning he has both the time and motivation to geek out on data and live vicariously.

Here we were having a civil, good faith discussion, then you start flinging around downvotes to try to suppress any post you don’t 100% approve of. That’s not conducive to quality discourse, and you should stop it. You comments votes are downvotes 42% of the time.

Thanks for the link and I’ll look into this, but I won’t be talking with you any further.

AISI is the AI Security Institute, so it’s within their remit to discover what the AI companies’ products can do - but then to not be monitoring them while they were running is where I call incompetence and negligence.

This is at least independent verification that these “breaches” aren’t just AI bro marketing.

AISI admitted it was not actively monitoring the agents’ behaviour during the evaluation and said it was putting tighter controls on internet access in tests as a result of the incident, introducing constant monitoring and reassessing its design of tests.

Sounds like the AISI are irresponsible and negligent - they took off the guardrails and gave it internet access, then didn’t monitor it.

He’s been given an official birthday of 4 December 1832, so he’s not quite there yet.

He predates Queen Victoria’s coronation, the telegraph, Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale collections, Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection, etc.

Perhaps it’s that wall protecting them from their neighbours to the north.

Wow, this is comprehensive. What I’ve read so far is great. I love the coral reef metaphor/imagery.

I’m still using shutdown -h now, even though the -h flag has been pointless for, what, 20 years?

edit: looks like sysvinit’s shutdown still defaults to single-user mode, so I guess that muscle memory will still be useful if I ever use a Devuan or antiX box.

I loved my Palm Pilot, and I still remember how to write using Graffiti (although I had to look up what it was called).
