  • From my understanding, Flatpak is built on top of OSTree, which will automatically deduplicate files across different packages. That said, I’m not sure if this extends to downloading packages. The site claims that it does do “delta updates,” which would hopefully mean that it doesn’t download files that are already on the system, even if they’re part of another package.

    I’m just going off what I read in the docs. Someone with more understanding of the system can clarify.

  • It’s tiring when automation is repeatedly blamed for the failures of capitalism. Yes, this might take away jobs. That should be a good thing. It’s only a problem because our economic system doesn’t value human life and only values human labor.

  • Character is Hiiragi Utena from Gushing Over Magical Girls. The series is very gay, incredibly horny, and absolutely buck-wild. (I cannot believe this actually got greenlit for an anime adaptation.)

    • Bloom Into You
    • The Demon Girl Next Door
    • Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury
    • The Executioner And Her Way of Life
    • The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady (MagiRevo)
    • Kase-san and Morning Glories
    • Adachi and Shimamura
    • FLIP FLAPPERS
  • It is somewhat baffling that most interactive, consumer-facing operating systems are not real-time. I suppose that it’s a product of legacy and technical debt.

    Apple did announce that they’re using an RTOS in the Vision Pro. Maybe the VR/AR space will make this more common, since the latency requirements are more stringent.

  • It’s probably referencing HBomb’s Donkey Kong 64 charity stream. The stream was to raise money for a organization that supports trans kids in the UK. I think the voice actor for Donkey Kong got on the stream at some point and said “trans rights.”

    He gives an overview of what happened in this talk.

  • I think signed hardware components are actually a good thing. The problem is that Apple makes it so that unapproved hardware doesn’t work at all. I think the device should warn the user, but allow them to override and continue at their own risk.

    Of course, Apple isn’t going to allow that unless they’re forced to. Glances sideways at the EU.

  • I reject the framing of "ignoring your instincts" and "jumping on a fan bandwagon" as a dichotomy. You have the option to just do... neither of those things. Admit the limits of your own knowledge and avoid taking too strong a stance either way.

  • I firmly disagree with this post. People should not just “rely on their instincts,” which have proven time and again to be highly inaccurate and subject to bias. This is starting to look like what those “body language experts” do, and those people have lower accuracy than a coin toss in controlled experiments.

    The only reliable way to tell if someone is lying is through actual evidence. What we know so far certainly paints LMG in a bad light, but I will continue to wait for more information to come out.
