Stremio is not FOSS
Do you guys not have a problem with Stremio not being completely open source? It seems like it is proprietary, yet I would argue that it is currently the best way to stream movies and tv shows if you know which add-ons to use.

Encrypting without full disk encryption question
I use a headless server connected to nothing but an ethernet cable in my basement, and I'd prefer to allow the thing to boot by itself and start up without me needing to unlock the disk encryption every single time I do an update or power back on. Its a Dell 9500t NUC that I'm using it as a server and am wondering whether its possible to encrypt everything still.
I do generally use docker containers, so could I potentially encrypt just the containers themselves, assuming I'm worried about a smash and grab rather than someone keeping the machine powered up and reading my ram?

Full sets of matching cookware. Its almost always a bunch of display junk that never gets used. Buy your stuff as individual pieces, you'll likely have nicer quality. This goes for pots, pans, knives, silverware, spatulas, damn near everything cooking related.
Personal opinion, all-clad is overrated. Their skillet/saucepan handles are shit and hurt to hold for longer cooking sessions.

Women might feel the need to "compensate" for their faces and overall bodies but there's no dick equivalent. A flat chested cutie will still be many people's cup of tea, but no one prefers a micropenis. I'm not sure the people who buy the big American trucks have small penises necessarily, they might just be overall insecure and need a very visible sign of status.
This isn't true. As a woman I do prefer a small penis, but unfortunately I've never found a man with one.
I'm not OP. But if you're trying to low-key make some sort of gender joke, take that shit elsewhere please.
"A female" is what incels use, it's pretty disgusting and demeaning.

How much clearer can "as a WOMAN" be?? Do you have a different definition of woman?
This entry was edited (5 days ago)
You tell me! You asked, so it seems like you have a different definition. Also I'm not the op you originally asked, I'm not going to answer for them, but seems they were very clear.
Whether they mean the same and how society accepts definitions of words are completely different. Do you call your mom a female or a woman? Because female would be insulting in my opinion.
In a more scientific environment absolutely female and woman could mean exactly the same and have no difference. But in society if you call a woman a female I would not care if she slapped the shit out of you.

What happened to the Madleen and why were they trying to reach Gaza?
What happened to the Madleen and why were they trying to reach Gaza? - Amnesty International
The Madleen and its crew attempted to challenge Israel’s genocide and this cruel and inhumane policy of using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare and collective punishment.Amnesty International
Let's be real; everyone on board knew there was no chance the ship would be allowed to moor and offload its goods. It was a photo op. But still a good one since it helps show what Israel is doing in Gaza.
They also knew there was very little chance of them actually getting hurt as Israel does care about optics when it involves high profile foreigners. The second they kill someone like Greta all hell would break loose. Which is in sad, stark contrast to the thousands of innocents they've killed with nary a peep from the rest of the world.

I also don't think we should avoid acting because our enemies might retaliate.
That's bitchmade behavior and anyone who supports it needs to be shunned.

So fucking sick of countries like China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran suppressing freedom of speech.
It's also no surprise that morons on the american left are now saying that freedom of speech is a dogwhistle for the right. They truly are stupid beyond belief for not learning from the nations that don't have freedom of speech.
I must have good friends, because none of them are pigs like this.
This must be the same kind of people who criticize "rape culture" while being friends with the people who perpetuate it.

Lol, the cognitive dissonance of whining about capitalism because their vidya game got a little more expensive. Not only is the entitlement and hypocrisy off the charts, there are so many ways to play games for cheap and/or free, the criticism is entirely moot. Don't like the price a company is asking for for an entirely optional commodity? Don't fucking pay it. It's not that hard.
Jump Ship Demo is Live!
I've been interested in trying this game out ever since they posted some early gameplay footage over a year ago. Looks kind of like a mix between Star Citizen (in and out of ship gameplay), Helldivers (4 player co-op/PvE missions), and Sea of Thieves.

Star Citizen has such a headstart on an actual space MMO.
Other businesses have 0 chance in catching up.
If they ever actually finish the fucking thing, or provide even half of the features they promised. Honestly fuck SC, why would you wanna support a business model like this, do you want everyone to follow this strategy?

Doing the best they can with the resources they have instead of charging the most while giving the least?
Absolutely.
I look forward to you people never admitting you're wrong even when you're playing the game and having a good time.
Eve is older than star citizen isn't it? I don't play either but I think it's fair to say eve had a twenty year headstart.
Eve is Menus: The Game.
It's a very lazy product created by a team without the skill to make something like Star Citizen. If they ever tried, they would be over a decade behind along with everyone else in the industry.

I don't get EA/Bioware. Fantasy is consistently more popular than scifi. Inquisition was their best selling game. Yet DA was never treated like a heavyweight like Mass Effect. My expectations tanked when David Gaider left
Inquisition was their best selling game.
Was it? Even if it was, you have to consider the cost and time that goes into making it.
Also, where's the post-release monetization? Like it or not, fantasy games made for smart people unfortunately are held to the same standard as sports games made for morons.

What people miss about Steam Deck's "loss" to Nintendo
It’s silly to compare Switch 2 sales to Steam Deck sales.
The Switch 2 is a locked-down, vertically integrated platform. There are no ROG Switch 2s. No Lenovo Switch 2s. No Switch laptops or tower PCs with discrete GPUs. If you want to play Mario Kart World, your only option is to buy a Switch 2. Period.
Steam Deck, by contrast, isn’t a platform. It’s just one hardware option—one entry point into the sprawling, open ecosystem known as PC gaming.
Every year, around 245 million PCs are shipped globally. If even 20–25% of those are gaming-focused, that’s 49–61 million gaming PCs annually. Steam Deck is a sliver of that. So of course it won’t outsell a console that’s the only gateway to a major IP.
But that’s exactly the point.
PC gaming is too decentralized for any single device to dominate. The last “PC” that did was the Commodore 64, which sold 12.5–17 million units over 12 years because it was a self-contained platform, unlike modern Windows, Mac, or Linux machines.
That the Steam Deck has sold 4 million units despite competing with every other gaming PC in existence is remarkable. It didn’t just sell—it legitimized a category. Handheld PC gaming is now a thing. That’s why Lenovo, ASUS, and MSI have followed. Even Microsoft is getting in, optimizing Windows for handhelds—something they would never have done if the Steam Deck didn't hold their feet to the fire.
So no, Steam Deck didn’t outsell the Switch 2. It didn’t need to.
It won by changing the landscape.
I don't expect the average switch user to be intelligent enough to see value in a Steam Deck.
Wikipedia Pauses an Experiment That Showed Users AI-Generated Summaries at The Top of Some Articles, Following an Editor Backlash.
Hey everyone, this is Olga, the product manager for the summary feature again. Thank you all for engaging so deeply with this discussion and sharing your thoughts so far.Reading through the comments, it’s clear we could have done a better job introducing this idea and opening up the conversation here on VPT back in March. As internet usage changes over time, we are trying to discover new ways to help new generations learn from Wikipedia to sustain our movement into the future. In consequence, we need to figure out how we can experiment in safe ways that are appropriate for readers and the Wikimedia community. Looking back, we realize the next step with this message should have been to provide more of that context for you all and to make the space for folks to engage further. With that in mind, we’d like to take a step back so we have more time to talk through things properly. We’re still in the very early stages of thinking about a feature like this, so this is actually a really good time for us to discuss here.
A few important things to start with:
- Bringing generative AI into the Wikipedia reading experience is a serious set of decisions, with important implications, and we intend to treat it as such.
- We do not have any plans for bringing a summary feature to the wikis without editor involvement. An editor moderation workflow is required under any circumstances, both for this idea, as well as any future idea around AI summarized or adapted content.
- With all this in mind, we’ll pause the launch of the experiment so that we can focus on this discussion first and determine next steps together.
We’ve also started putting together some context around the main points brought up through the conversation so far, and will follow-up with that in separate messages so we can discuss further.

Summarization is one of the things LLMs are pretty good at. Same for the other thing where Wikipedia talked about auto-generating the "simple article" variants that are normally managed by hand to dumb down content.
But if they're pushing these tools, they need to be pushed as handy tools for editors to consider leveraging, not forced behavior for end users.

not forced behavior for end users.
This is what I'm constantly criticizing. It's fine to have more options, but they should be options and not mandatory.
No, having to scroll past an AI summary for every fucking article is not an 'option.' Having the option to hide it forever (or even better, opt-in), now that's a real option.
I'd really love to see the opt-in/opt-out data for AI. I guarantee businesses aren't including the option or recording data because they know it will show people don't want it, and they have to follow the data!
