The main source is the video, where you can see the GOS developer writing him live.

For more context, there was a Google Drive link that is unfortunately not available anymore, but I found and uploaded it here: <https://www.swisstransfer.com/d/d75ff782-4a7d-4497-b04e-edd1...>

It has they initial conversation and disagreement in September 2022, after the GOS developer in question accuses Rossmann of being complicit with harassment campaigns again said dev., because he also gave the same 40K USD FUTO grant to other similar project and had some interview with their developers.

The second set of files are the text messages that feature in the video, after said GOS developer contacted Rossmann umprompted on May 2023 with the same type of accusation.

Feel free to peruse and make you own opinion.

The screenshot says US$100 -> EU$86.0499 Can the user enable rounding? I'd probably be happier with EU$86 or EU$86.05.

How do you handle fast moving exchange rates? Hi from Argentina! It's not so "interesting" now, but it can change + or - 30% in a month. I'd be worry to use offline data that is more then 1 week old (and perhaps 1 day is too much).

This take is nonsensical. People don’t bring up George Floyd’s past when discussing him because it isn’t relevant to the circumstances of his death. When people protest or talk about him, they’re focusing on the way he died and how cruel it was.

In contrast, Hulk Hogan was a racist. What he said on that tape was blatantly racist. When discussing his life and legacy, it’s relevant to bring up a racist rant he made as an adult, especially when he was already famous.

No one is suggesting George Floyd was a role model. That’s not the point.

Salt isn't particularly bad unless you already have hypertension. There's a reason electrolyte (aka salt) dietary supplements like LMNT are becoming popular. Of course if you are already consuming lots of processed, salty foods you wouldn't need those supplements. But if you eat mostly whole foods, exercise regularly, and drink coffee you really do need to go out of your way to intake extra electrolytes.

You are 15! Impressive, I must say!

About the product, I'm not really sure if this is a painkiller. People are doing this with Miro and Mural these days. Ask yourself why customers would switch. Change has a cost for customers (money, time, effort, risk). Your solution must stand out significantly to justify this cost. Differentiation is the essence of your solution, capturing attention and explaining why the new way is better.

Everything works out of the box, and it doesn't use a third party layer like MicroG. The difference is that Google's apps/services are not given admin privileges like they usually are, so you can selectively enable or disable things.

For example, installing an app on Google Play works like F-Droid. Once the download finishes, you have to open the Play store app to trigger a system dialog to accept the installation. On other Android devices, GPlay can install apps without your approval.

Thanks for your thoughts on the license; we know that it's FRAUGHT, for sure. Our company makes quite a lot of software available under OSI-approved licenses (MIT, etc) and we did think pretty carefully about what to try here, given our goals around both OSS and building a sustainable business.

We do use OpenVSX, yes, like the other forks, and our company is a major sponsor of OpenVSX. Security around the extension ecosystem is a pretty messy, complicated issue both for the proprietary Microsoft marketplace and OpenVSX. For example, the recent Amazon Q story! I currently think about it as conceptually fairly similar to the risks of using packages from PyPI or npm.

Being on the sharp edge of professional "do you want what you're asking for, or what I assume you want?" misunderstandings, you learn that it breaks in both directions often enough that sometimes not being pedantic up front isn't an option.

I don't think shittalking "well actually" conversations in the context of an equipment vendor making a cutely-titled article that is very sympathetic to the inexact language around designators for products they offer is the play.

> I’m glad to see a stronger rejection of this notion that a handful of private corporations should control the bulk of technology and the associated industry running atop it, and I’m happy to see more folks discussing alternative futures to it.

Last time I checked, there are about three hundred thousand different companies offering hosting, all over the world. That's a bunch more diverse than the government doing hosting, as per your suggestion. Or having towns contracting Microsoft for it, which would be the result with kolkhoz or sovkhoz cloud hosting.

There was an Opinion piece the other day criticizing Mamdani's NYC city-run grocery plan.

It focused on the incompatibility of what he was proposing with how the grocery store industry operates at large.

But I think the comparison was too focused on dynamics of large supermarkets. Of course a city-run grocery cannot and should not attempt to operate with the SKU count of a larger chain. Running a simpler operation with a smaller SKU count, like Trader Joe's does, is orders of magnitude more feasible and probably delivers exactly what most customers are looking for. Cost-effective, no-frills local produce & household staples. There are plenty of places to buy frozen foods, cereal, snacks, drinks, prepared foods, etc.

A model like Traders' that eliminates middleman, while leveraging city funding to subsidize the infrastructure, could deliver fresh local produce and household staples at near cost. And aren't those the things we want to encourage people to eat? Aren't fresh, simple foods the most deserving of subsidy?

While it is a private service by a company called Mercado Libre (which means Free Market), in Argentina we have Mercado Pago (which means Market Pay), has instant payments and it is free for 99% of the people that do P2P transactions. It is free for anyone, meaning, you don't pay to use it. You only need your national document. Of course, after seeing the success, the banks tried to implement MODO, but it was already too late.

Chiming in to say I also run an n150 with mostly the same software. It does fine. Storage is 50tb of old server HDD so pretty cheap.

I ran an n100 until last week. Worked fine.

I have plex setup to transcode and it serves about 10 users just fine. My plexamp sonic analysis took like 4 days though, lol, but everyone says it takes forever.

My immich import took about 20 hours? So not bad.

I run all my home automation off it. 100+ devices, logging, etc. no issues.

I also sometimes run an OBS stream on it to transcode for YT. The n150 does fine.

Total cost for me is about $550. I saved a lot on HDD by going used server drives. $140 for the n150, $300 for drives, then a cheap UPS and router running openwrt.

As for difficulty, most of this is deployed in a few minutes using docker or install scripts. The hardest part is the choice between various solutions.

We’re building Cardia Diet – a personalised meal planning tool to help people protect and improve heart health through evidence-based, practical meals.

Why: Heart disease is the world’s #1 cause of death, yet many cases are preventable with a better diet. The problem? Most advice is generic, impractical, or hard to follow consistently.

What Cardia Diet will do: Create personalised, heart-healthy meal plans aligned with clinical guidelines (DASH, Mediterranean, etc.). Adapt plans to your tastes, restrictions, and local ingredients. Include shopping lists and simple prep workflows for consistency. Help you take daily, practical steps toward heart health without overwhelm.

We’re not live yet, but we're opening our waitlist for early access and feedback. If you or someone you love cares about improving heart health through diet, we’d love to have you on board to shape this tool.

Join the waitlist here:https://cardia-diet-waitlist.web.app/

> My son's first comment was: they don't seem as fast in person.

That was the exact opposite of my experience with autoracing. Watching on TV with the long tracking/panning shots seem to reduce the effectiveness of the speed. Standing at the track watching the cars fly by and are only there for a split second really brings home how fast they are. "zoom zoom" is about as close as one can get to describing it. There's also just no way to replicate how loud the cars are either. I've seen Fox try where they have moments where the commentators shut the hell up for a minute, they push the mix from the mics around the track, display Vu like meters on screen with some sort of Dolby/surround type of something suggesting it sounds great in that mode. Don't care. Nothing like being there.

Yeah, I've been travelling around Canada and the US for two years now for work (~30 trips) and Air Canada had a dramatic improvement somewhere around Spring/Summer 2024. From November 2023 to around April 2024 I was keeping track of the probability of actually having my checked bags arrive at the destination and they were sitting around 60%. Since around Spring 2024 it improved dramatically, plus they started offering (mediocre) beer for free in economy!

Let's not shift the burden of proof so irresponsibly.

We've all seen the bad faith actors that questioned, for example, studies on the efficacy of wearing masks in reducing chance of transmission of airborne diseases because the study combined wearing masks AND washing hands... Those people would gladly hand wipe without toilet paper to "own the libs" or whatever hate-filled mental gymnastics strokes their ego.

With that in mind, let's call things for what they are: there are multiple companies that are salivating at the prospects of being able to make the working class obsolete. There's trillions to be made in their mind.

> I would like to see numbers, results, or something of that nature

I would like the same thing! So far, we have seen that a very big company that had pledged, IIRC, to remain not-for-profit for the benefit of humanity sold out at the drop of a hat the moment they were able to hint Zombocom levels of possibility to investors.

I work on Positron and we explain a bit about this here: https://positron.posit.co/faqs.html#why-build-a-new-ide-rath...

tl;dr is that we build a lot of extensions ourselves and are familiar with what you can/can't do with it. Our goals around a data science IDE require more fully integrated experience that isn't possible with the VS Code extension API.

I think it is very easy for the average person to forget or not realize how incredibly easy it is to get calories into the body and how little food is necessary to do so. Most people in the world (I know, this is not everywhere and everyone), live in an era of food abundance. It's cheap enough, extremely accessible, often easy to eat or ready to eat, and that has simply made it very convenient to get calories in, often while barely thinking about it. Mindless eating, not thinking about what you should eat, etc. All of these factors have played into why obesity is such a problem (at least in the USA).

In a commercial project like Windows this has been done many times - both Windows and MacOS switched to compositing window managers and have done deep surgery under the hood you never see. The difference is that internals can be mandated top down whereas in a bazaar model with lots of casual non interested observers throwing pot shots and no budget to support the work, relying on largely volunteer time, it’s much harder and takes longer to accomplish.

Why is every opinion qualified as "ex-military" always tend to be hyperbolic, technically incorrect and full of appeals to authority rather than actual factual information?

> There is no real-world situation where you are really just that much better at drawing and firing accurately that you will out-draw an adversary who drew on you first

There is, and it is called training. Get a timer, hit the range, and get your shots on target from concealment in under a second - while getting off the "x" - this is a standard I have trained many people to meet first-hand. And it doesn't take a specialist to get this level of training, either; it takes a few years, several thousands rounds of ammunition, and periodic maintenance, just like any craft.

> In a real world firefight you're either close enough where martial arts is relevant or you're not. If martial arts are relevant, then the guns are irrelevant.

Disparity of force - another well known concept you ought to familiarize yourself, especially as it is one of the most critical elements of legal defense in a shooting.

> Responsible citizens carry their guns in such a way that prioritizes the safety of those around them before their own personal safety.

Smart people legally carry a firearm to defend themselves and their family only from unexpected deadly threats. They would never intervene, get involved with, or otherwise "rescue" anyone else with lethal force. The "sheepdog" mentality you've put on display is honestly offensive and gives a bad name to firearms owners.

> most people never had any need or ability for this control in the first place

Regarding need: strong disagree. I want to be able to re-read a book, to open it in any an ebook reader on my desktop to search / copy from it, etc. I want to re-watch good movies any time. I certainly don't want to lose my photos or any media I produce because of some corporate policy or quota, or politics.

I self host everything. I only buy what can be de-DRM'd and if it can't be, I return it immediately.

Regarding ability: Sure it's a bit of a pain, but it's not that hard if you're just a bit technical. Everything is done via GUI, there is never anything to type in a console. And if you're not technical yourself, you probably know someone who is.

I work on Positron and I'll chime in! If you only use Python (not any other languages) and you are happy with Spyder, then Positron might not be compelling as something for you to switch to. If you ever find yourself using additional programming languages for your work or you want a more customizable, extensible IDE, then you might consider taking a look at it; I don't expect it would be an onerous switch coming from Spyder.

No, I think discussing anything that essentially boils down to "some human lifes are not worth it" is not ok, no. There's always the slippery slope to consider. Especially if you're from Germany like me, that's one too far. History, you know.

We also would do good if we'd learn from books like 1984 or brave new world.

Malaysia has duitnow which they recently started making it international. You can buy a coffee in Thailand with a duitnow wallet (ie: BigPay). It is also integrated with AliPay, so you can pay wherever AliPay is accepted (most of China).

I honestly think, at this point, they should just drop the bomb; take their currency to the blockchain (stablecoin) and make the wallets fully connectable to the crypto ecosystem. China doesn't seem keen to take a more open role to capital markets, so there is a void there.

I’d do it for free.

And if you get hit by a car? Or worse --- maybe you get married and have kids<g>?

One big reason people *buy* service is sustainability/longevity/redundancy.

There are no absolute guarantees but I think most commercial endeavors nowadays would bet on AWS/Google/MS/Apple over "Hosting by Joe and Friends".

It is genuinely very strange that you're relying on people simply not clicking the link you're providing.

The person who swatted Daniel spent days raiding our Matrix chat rooms, posting gore and CSAM. We know it was them who did it, because they bragged about it during their raids before we had made any public comments about it happening.

We don't know who the person is, and neither does the police. The details we have about what was said during the calls was provided to Daniel via the police, especially since it happened 3 times, not just once. Thankfully after the first time the responders were somewhat aware of what was happening so it wasn't as scary.

Your deflection is genuinely concerning.

I don't think I know a single person that doesn't have MBWAY, but I'm younger than 30, so that might have something to do with it.

Even then, everywhere you go, unless they're really small or old places that still don't accept anything other than cash, you can pay with MBWAY, through a QR code or NFC. All POS terminals support that nowadays. You can even add an email address and VAT number and newer terminals automatically skip printing the customer receipt, send it to your email and give the VAT number to the merchant (not entirely sure how that last one works, but it's there).

2.5GBASE-T? But I do 10GBASE-T over one. Provided it has Cat 6A cable inside it and has been tested to IEC 60512-9-3 & IEC 60512-99-002. (See https://ieee802.org/3/bt/public/oct15/Draft%20of%20IEC%20605... for some fun photos of what happens when PoE is disconnected on a connector before IEC 60512-99-002...).

This article is just misinformed. Source: I’ve been working with color space conversion, HDR tone mapping, gamut mapping and “film look” for 20 years.

It’s clear from their critique of the first screenshots that their problem is not with HDR, but contrast levels. Contrast is a color grading decision totally separate from HDR tonemapping.

There’s then a digression about RED and Arri that is incorrect. Even their earliest cameras shot RAW and could be color matched against each other.

Then they assert that tone mapping is hampered by being a 1D curve, but this is more or less exactly how film works. AAA games often come up with their own curves rather than using stock curves like Hable or ACES, and I would assume that they’re often combined with 3D LUTs for “look” in order to reduce lookups.

The author is right about digital still cameras doing a very good job mapping the HDR sensor data to SDR images like JPEGs. The big camera companies have to balance “accuracy” and making the image “pleasing,” and that’s what photographers commonly call their “color science.” Really good gamut mapping is part of that secret sauce. However, part of what looks pleasing is that these are high contrast transforms, which is exactly what the author seems to not like.

They say “we don’t have the technical capability to run real film industry LUTs in the correct color spaces,” which is just factually incorrect. Color grading software and AAA games use the same GPUs and shader languages. A full ACES workflow would be overkill (not too heavy, just unnecessarily flexible) for a game, because you can do you full-on cinema color grading on your game and then bake it into a 3D LUT that very accurately captures the look.

The author then shows a screenshot of Breath of the Wild, which I’m nearly positive uses a global tonemap—it just might not do a lot of dynamic exposure adjustment.

Then they evaluate a few more images before praising a Forza image for being low contrast, which again, has nothing to do with HDR and everything to do with color grading.

Ultimately, the author is right that this is about aesthetics. Unfortunately, there’s no accounting for taste. But a game’s “look” is far more involved than just the use of HDR or tone mapping.

This is an example of a phenomenon I've seen many times on the internet:

- Person has a critique of certain media (books, authors, games etc). They are valid critiques. - You ask what the person thinks is an example of media that doesn't have this problem, or the media they like. - The examples given are not in the same league, or do the one thing better, and many other aspects poorly.
