Nobody mentioned Hook?

Absolutely horrible joker for that boss in my opinion. Prime reason I wouldn't get an eternal one

Elon Musk sells X to his own xAI for $33 billion in all-stock deal in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 170 points 3 days ago (8 children)

Well, not really. Twitter was his own private property that he bought with borrowed money secured against his Tesla shares. xAI on the other hand is financed by investors whose money he used to bail himself out at a price he made up himself since Twitter is no longer publicly traded. So this is, in my opinion, misuse of investor funds; the picture would be true if xAI used how own money to do this, but no.

On one hand,I think this is serious fraud. On the other, my understanding for anyone investing into his companies is very limited, there are so many red flags on so many levels.

But it’s geared for the convenience and privacy of the average user not military security.

Military security (or military grade whatever) is a buzzword that makes sense in some contexts. In a lot of them, it doesn't.

For example, for a lot of military-grade products you can have assumptions that are not always given for a platform that messenger operate on. Like that the device is always stored in a secure location. That it's administered by trained personnel. That the device operator has received training on proper usage etc. In fact, a lot of military systems probably couldn't be operated securely in a John Doe context b because of environmental security requirements. In that regard, messengers have to be more secure.

It wasn't about sending SMS, it was about sending SMS securely, and whether this actually provided an improvement offer not offering it anymore. TextSecure came out when mobile data wasn't as prevalent. But times have changed

Airline Demand Between Canada & United States Collapses, Down 70%+ in c/[email protected]

It appears that Germany has updated their information several times. So much so that your second link gives me a 404 error

It hasn't been updated, but Lemmy thinks the colon is part of the URL. https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/suedsudansicherheit-244250 it's not about the US but South Sudan, to show what an official travel warning looks like. The US page is just advisory.

Germany

I don't know for other countries, but Germany has not issued any travel warnings. The page with information to the US is the following: https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/service/laender/usa-node/usavereinigtestaatensicherheit-201382. It contains only information, but no advisory against traveling which a warning usually contains stuff that one might call warnings, but they formally aren't. Compare it with https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/suedsudansicherheit-244250: The title of the page contains "(Reisewarnung)" which translates to "warning against travel". The page contains the wording "Vor Reisen nach X wird gewarnt". Only those constitute a warning. No such warning can be found on the page about the US.

Personally, I can only advise against traveling there, but the page for the US has existed basically always. New information was added this month, but the official status / stance on US travel hasn't changed: the US is on the same level as France and Spain.

The equivalent to Plex is Jellyfin I think, Plex can be used as a media server for Kodi.

Most of these titles don't have mainstream appeal though. The example is true for the majority of players.

I do love me some indie games (probably 95% of what I play atm are Noita and Balatro) but I'll admit it was really cool as a child / teenager / young adult to see the improvements over time.

Which game is it? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's more hours per week than I have to work.

But you can always do more. I have a childhood friend who, when some leagues were released, averaged about 14 hours per day for Path of Exile for two weeks straight. Like 180 hours playtime in two weeks.

Another friend of mine should be at about 8000 hours of Rocket League by now on his main account only. That's over the game's full lifespan though.

[TAS] Balatro "maximum score" in 5m 48.23s by Masterjun3 (www.youtube.com)
 

Just stumbled upon this in my recommended videos. I didn't create this.

My best run so far (Black Stake Plasma Deck) (www.youtube.com)
 

After having a lot of trouble on the previous stake using the deck, this was a breeze (first try back to back after https://youtu.be/X3SDc_Ik5aE). Definitely not flawless, but still good result.

Some facts about the run:

Recently started recording my runs because I thought it's nicer than just screenshots, this turned out to be my best one so far. Sure the hand score is skewed due to Plasma, but hey, I don't make the rules.

No, I'm not expecting anyone to watch this whole thing.

😩 Don't you hate opening packs that have nothing you can use? (feddit.org)
 

This is one of the best buffon packs I ever got, and it was the very first one I opened that run… and at that point, neither of them did anything (since it's abandoned deck). Blueprint was still appreciated but I thought it was a fun coincidence that technically, neither of these would help right after selecting.

Finished the run, was low stakes anyways but wanted to share the situation.

Silly gold win (feddit.org)
 

Beat gold today on phone (previous time was on PC) after hitting a wall before... and it was on a deck that looked really unimpressive in both cards and jokers so I thought I'd share, kind of a contrast to the screenshots of super sick setups. It was kind of close in points but money was never an issue. I ran delayed gratification first half which synergized with green.

No negative, foil or polychrome jokers, and only a single holographic. Two common, two uncommon, one rare.

It looks really boringly unoptimized, which I think makes it interesting, strangely enough.

Thanks game (feddit.org)
 

Such a lucky run so far (Red Deck Gold difficulty)… Not quite sure yet what to do, probably sell the tarot joker for the blueprint

NixOS changes as of today (feddit.org)

I just upgraded my NixOS machine after switching to nixos-unstable-small because I think unstable will take some time to update as getting 24.11 out has the highest priority.

Anyhow, two of my packages stopped me from applying a new configuration, as some packages have been changed when reorganizing into pkgs/by-name. I fixed it and wanted to share as this will hit others running unstable with these packages as soon as hydra catches up.

nerdfonts (now nerd-fonts)

Package was renamed, which it will state on evaluation; individual fonts are now part of the nerd-fonts attribute. I had Source Code Pro in there, there was some kind of mapping, which looked kind of like in https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Fonts#Installing_specific_fonts_from_nerdfonts – the new way is now to just use nerd-fonts.sauce-code-pro directly, you can probably do something like ++ with nerd-fonts; [ sauce-code-pro other-fonts ] to add multiple nerd-fonts to your fonts list, but I haven't tested this.

RetroArch

Until now, cores were specified as in https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/RetroArch, however override doesn't seem to work anymore. There's now the withCores attribute / function that expects a function that returns a list. The easiest way I found to just specify a fixed list of cores was (retroarch.withCores (_: with libretro; [ snes9x mupen64plus fbneo flycast ])). Maybe other options are easier / cleaner.

Word of warning on compiling nixos-unstable-small

There are currently a lot of packages to be built if you change into that channel (I'm using flakes, but you get my point). Due to the default value of auto for nix.settings.max-jobs, this meant nix tried to build 24 derivations at the same time. This is fine if these are just downloaded from hydra, but if you try to build 24 big derivations at the same time, each trying to use 24 threads because nix.settings.cores is also 0 by default, which means all threads, build processes quickly ate all of my 32GB of RAM so that the OOM killer had to intervene, however often too late with my system dying. I recommend to set nix.settings.max-jobs to something more reasonable before attempting this (I used 1).
