then unapproved by Lennart Poettering
No, you’ve misunderstood, here is a quote from your own source:
A merge request asking for this change to be repealed was struck down by Lennart
It was a reversion that Poettering rejected, the PR stands.
Ah yes, I see what you mean. OP has posted content from Ten Epstein Revelations You Might Have Missed, which is the article that I see after the Israel/X story.
You scrolled past the (annoying) “read more” button and are now on the next article.
Bad news on the backbone
I couldn’t scan a single ASN
I’m trying to figure out what pronunciation or accent the author uses to have this rhyme. A heavy South African accent, so backbone is more like “berckben”? Pronouncing ASN as “a-sone”?
In the other post, you claim you’d ordered them from Etsy. Is it your Etsy shop? I’m struggling to see how both can be true.
edit: FYI, this shop is OP’s shop
Found them! This lets me cheat and figure out the ones I couldn’t name (or knew I’d got wrong like Digital Ocean that I thought probably wasn’t Commodore 64).
These are really consistent, do you print them yourself?
That’s really interesting, I guess I’d assumed it was a universal thing.
I know some people who are known by various versions of their names in their different circles, e.g. Robert/Bob to their family, Rob to their school friends, Bobby to their uni mates and Robert at work.
The UK had a history of rhyming nicknames for shortened versions, like William -> Will -> Bill, and most of those are still common in English speaking countries. Richard -> Dick, Robert -> Bob (also Hob, Dob and Nob but these didn’t survive).
These shortened versions can then get extended: Edward -> Ed -> Ted -> Teddy, Margaret -> Meg -> Peg -> Peggy, Anne -> Nan -> Nancy
In the middle ages it was common to make a diminutive name by adding -kin, -in, or -cock, which gave us John -> Jankin/Jenkin -> Jakin -> Jack. Also, Robert -> Robin, Henry -> Hank
The two most populous countries are moving in the right direction, which is good news. I really wish you guys wouldn’t insist on bringing your country into every single conversation - we know what’s happening, you don’t need to constantly remind us.
Same, and they can be some truly baffling typos.
What’s the point then?
I’m thinking of it the same way, and not having the readers be trade secrets but published specs is good for future digital archeologists.
For example, Dyson uses trade secrets instead of patents, so it would be harder to recreate their tech in the future.
Edit: patents not parents 🤦
“We are a technology licensing company”
This is good news from the point of view of being able to create devices that can read these crystals; as a comment on the linked site says:
The realistic lifetime of storage is the life of the last manufactured or surviving retrieval device.
What to do with people who jump the queue?
How do you turn a pig into a sausage?
If you read the article, you learn that the authorities never properly searched any of these freighters - that’s probably a more sensible place to start.
The article shows that that’s not what’s going on:
YouTube, which is owned by Google, confirmed to The Intercept that it deleted the groups’ accounts as a direct result of State Department sanctions against the group after a review. The Trump administration leveled the sanctions against the organizations in September over their work with the International Criminal Court in cases charging Israeli officials of war crimes.
“Google is committed to compliance with applicable sanctions and trade compliance laws,” YouTube spokesperson Boot Bullwinkle said in a statement.
Did you read the article or just the headline?
!showerthoughts@lemmy.world needs to up its game
I’ve never played that either, but I love Metroidvanias so I assume it’s great.
I picked up the Mass Effect trilogy recently following a tip from here (I think).
Have they taken out the AI generated papers? We know that training LLMs on LLM-generated text leads to an absolute collapse in quality, and we also know that AI has been showing up in papers so if they haven’t, then this will be quite unreliable.
