My university is owned and operated by the US government, and I'm a govt employee. This means that all my research papers where I'm corresponding author are "US government work", and are in the public domain (according to US law). This means that I CAN'T grant scummy publishers the copyright for my work. Anyone can post it where ever they want since it's in the public domain.
This is an unexpectedly awesome perk of my job. I exist in the corner case of US copyright law that allows academic papers to be distributed as they should be.
One of my favorite things is parents whose kids bring the idea of that damn elf into the house and they creatively destroy the little fucker and it never comes back.
If a child you know has an elf on the shelf in their life, you owe it to that child to subvert the elf's authority and cast doubt on its abilities whenever possible.

Pendant 40 ans, entre 1945 et 2001, les 210 mines d'uranium situées sur le territoire français ont alimenté l'industrie nucléaire et nos 58 centrales, produisant 300 millions de tonnes de déchets radioactifs, abandonnés sans mesure de protection particulière.Depuis la fermeture des sites d'exploitation, de nombreuses populations, vivent, sans le savoir, sur des terres contaminées par les déchets radioactifs. Pourquoi la dangerosité de ces déchets est-elle systématiquement minimisée ? Comment ce dossier explosif a-t-il été enterré ? Cette enquête a pour vocation la révélation du scandale. Pour infos, Areva avait essayé de bloquer la diffusion de ce documentaire.
Nanook I tried to post a video on the post below of the same guy trash talking goyim and hating kids passionately on Bigo, but it seems to have failed. Can you see it?

My readings indicate rape, sadistic intimidation, torture and murder of multiple child prostitutes. He summoned political and historical significant spirits from Hong Kong and tried to smear companies with good intentions.
Nothing but a disrespectful, trashy, profoundly evil, vile pig. Extremely bad karma. I know he would be amongst the first in line for hell.
He is associated with the CIA, Facebook, Alphabet Inc, Amazon and of course this lovely app known as Bigo.

This week, Valve draws a line in the sand and has officially defined what a next-gen PC controller looks like. We’ll talk about it. Plus, we’ve got news about Chiaki-ng’s latest update, and… how did Valve just move us closer to a third-party release of SteamOS? All this and more today!
So it’s come to my attention that Steam Deck is now on Bluesky and that makes me happy. Now I don’t need to waste my time on trolling through the gore, spam, and bots that have infested Twitter’s rotting carcass.
I’m on bluesky @gardinerbryant and you can follow me over there. I’ve also got a Mastodon account @gardiner_bryant@mastodon.online.
I wish Valve would post to Mastodon but I’ll have to settle for Bluesky.
Chiaki-ng—the nifty PlayStation in-home streaming app for Steam Deck and other PCs—just had a new update with some major improvements.
Version 1.9.2 was released on December 3rd and it included:
HDR support for MacOS and Windows
Increased stability of motion controls.
Native Webview for obtaining PSN tokens that make logging in through SteamOS game mode easier
Custom resolution setting options
And many other updates. I’ve been following the development of Chiaki since the early days of my Steam Deck coverage and I’m quite pleased with how it’s come along. You can find a link to get started with Chiaki-ng in the description!
Have you used Chiaki-ng? Let me know your thoughts on the software in the comments. And while you’re why not like that smash button? It’s the best way to tell YouTube you want to see more videos just like this. And if you missed the beard and mustache and you’re happy to see them making their return, get subscribed. And now, back to the news!
So two weeks ago, we had Noah from Steam Deck HQ on our podcast Off The Console and we were talking about The Game Awards. Well, it looks like SDHQ and my friend Hi-Tech Lo-Life are working on their own (prerecorded) Steam Deck Game Awards.
It will be a pre-recorded show featuring games that run well on the Steam Deck. No word yet on categories, but that should be revealed as we approach the release date!
Look for their video coming towards the end of the month!
Very exciting stuff!

Deals of the Week
Now it’s time for the Deals of the Week, the segment where we highlight the bundles and sales that will help you grow you library of games!
Now, if you missed the drama, apparently Blizzard has demanded that GOG remove Warcraft I and Warcraft II from sale. it’s speculated that this is because there are Battle.net remasters of both games exclusively on Battle.net… and why would someone buy a DRM-laden version of the games when there’s a good version over on GOG?
So both Warcraft titles are going to be de-listed from GOG on December 13th. What’s really obnoxious about this is that GOG recently included these titles in their Preservation Program—where GOG (read: not the publisher or the original developers)—are going to keep these old games alive and well on modern systems indefinitely. Even if they get de-listed from their store.
So this will be the first test of that resiliency.
However, GOG is offering the DRM-free bundle with both Warcraft I and II at a discount: $2 off by using the code “MakeWarcraftLiveForever”
Once the game is de-listed, anyone who still owns the game will be able to download it. So if you want a DRM-free copy of these games, you can use the link in the description and pick up the bundle!
So Valve has just updated their branding guidelines and this is really exciting. These new guidelines define relatively strict rules about how the SteamOS badge is to be displayed on hardware packaging.
Valve provides two logos, one in the “Positive” color scheme and the other in an “Inverse” scheme. The colors of these two logo variants are provided in RGB, CMYK, and Pantone colors.
They’ve also got minimum clearance space around the SteamOS badge and a minimum height for this logo in both pixels and millimeters for print materials.
Valve’s taking the branding of SteamOS as seriously as any other branding, and why shouldn’t they? While SteamOS has been around for over a decade at this point, the fact that they’ve made significant inroads in the hearts and minds of PC gamers everywhere says this is a basically a new category for them.
Now, what are these logos actually for? They’ll be emblazoned on product packaging for Valve’s hardware partners. For example, Valve says:
Partners/manufacturers will ship harewre with a Steam image in the form provided and / or developed in close collaboration with Valve.
I did notice a few typos in the guidelines including the word “the” here, and the same subheading for both of these sections.
But in that same document, we get to another juicy section. What does Steam Compatible actually mean?
Steam Compatible means that the non-Valve input peripherals work with Steam on PCs by meeting some criteria set by Valve.
Personally, I’ve been waiting for something like this to hit. Essentially, these guidelines lay out what it means to be Next Gen PC controller. And I’m here for it.
For the basics, a third party Steam Controller must have:
Dedicated Steam button
Dedicated Quick Access Menu button
View and Menu buttons with glyphs that match Steam Deck’s
A, B, X, and Y in a layout that matches the Steam Deck
And at least two re-bindable rear buttons (but there can be more)
However, there are two other features that are incredibly important to note:
Gyroscopic controls
Capacitive Touch Sensing Thumbsticks
This means that the Hori Steampad qualifies as “Steam Compatible” as it exceeds the minimum specs here with touch sensitive sticks and extra auxiliary buttons.
While I find it rather disappointing that Valve’s not requiring controllers to have at least one trackpad, I kinda get it. Trackpads can add a whole extra set of constraints to a hardware product and these are for third-party Steam Controllers, essentially. Presumably that will either ship with “Powered by SteamOS” devices or as standalone controllers.
But it’s nice to see Valve drawing a line in the sand… having an opinion and setting a minimum spec. They’re in the position to do just that and now, hopefully, they’ll release a game that shows everyone exactly what that specification can do.
\ Overall, despite having fewer stories than I normally do, we’ve seen another great week of Steam Deck and Linux gaming news.

So, Itch.io went down for hours this morning--despite the fact their servers were still online. It wasn't a DDOS attack, it wasn't a malicious actor. No, it was an AI from Funko. Yes, the purveyor useless vinyl tchotchkes managed to take down the entirety of Itch.io for hours by siccing their AI "Brand Guardian" against the indie game publisher's site.

No Gods No Masters also means folks shouldn't have set themselves up to be disappointed by this guy for like RTing Peter Thiel and other stuff. In reality he did perhaps the single most significant act of class solidarity this country's seen in a long time and that isn't altered by his posts or whatever else

He has an entire Reddit dedicated to him. Something needs to happen to this guy.
Sacrificial child rape and murders, intimidating tens of thousands of people or more with 5g and microwave by clicking buttons on his phone and acting like an obnoxious, intimidating hot shot when they feel jolts of pain and convulsion. Then they're forced to go out and slave away for his riches and ego.
He has less than zero value in this world, he has extremely negative value. Don't let him smooth talk you, intimidate you, reassure you or talk "reason" into you. There is absolutely NOTHING reasonable about him. Hold fast with determination and keep coming back. Don't let up. He must be stopped at any cost.
Don't believe a word he says, or any of his southern (un)reason.
When all else fails, he might actually encourage you at your efforts. This is another deception effort. See past this too.

Nothing but garbage advice, enslavement of vulnerable people with good hearts and fields of tortured, raped, murdered kids. I wish the worst fate possible upon him and his estate, wherever that is. He's doing his best to hide that and himself.
Just days after disgraced former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz celebrated the public assassination of a CEO, Vox Media announced she is out at the end of the year.
The suspect was able to evade police by carrying extra clothes to change into, use e-bikes to escape into Central Park, he used a fake ID to book a room at a hostel and Greyhound bus tickets, wore masks in areas he knew there would be cameras, etc.
This is an organised person who thought and meticulously planned out his actions.
The person the police have found allegedly had on his person: - a gun - a silencer - a 3 page handwritten manifesto - the same fake ID he used to book the rooms
... Why was he still carrying these things? - you expect us to believe that the same person who went to those lengths NOT to be caught is going to be carrying around what amounts to a handwritten note declaring his guilt?
It's 2024.. who hand writes a manifesto? - this guy has a masters of engineering, and you think he's handwriting his manifesto? - you think anyone who has completed a masters is going to be able to keep their word count down to 3 pages?? - I've read numerous manifestos written by people who have engaged in political acts of violence - not one of them was under 10 pages, most were 20+
The manifesto uses stats from a 2007 AP story about the life expectancy ranking of the USA compared to the rest of the world - there were stats from 2022 he could have quoted that prove his point better, but he used old stats? There's a recent Lancet study that show his point even more than the 2022 article, and he didn't use that either?? - again, he has a masters degree.. it's not like he doesn't know the importance of research based evidence or how to get it (and by the time you do a masters, this shit is baked into your personality tbh)
... There were a number of organised efforts to inundate the tip lines with false reports about sightings of this guy - but police followed up this specific report ('he looks like the guy, he's at McDonalds eating a burger") quickly enough to intercept him before he finished his meal, out of the possible 10s of thousands (maybe 100s of thousands) of fake tips they were getting? - as organised as he is about getting away, he goes and sits in a McDonalds to eat?
... The cops absolutely HAVE to find someone to charge. Not only are they worried this is going to kick off something, but CEOs are worried (and calling their friends in High Places to demand this guy be found). And they have to do it quickly.
I don't think this is the guy.
I also don't think that they care that this isn't the guy.
I am super curious to see the outcome of this, though.. there's a LOT of talk about jury nullification around this, and I can see laws being changes so that this either doesn't go before a jury, or so that nullification is taken off the books as an option for juries.
@JonChevreau I have been thinking along these lines, too. The cops are under a lot of pressure and have a lot of incentives to charge a patsy/railroad someone. A guy with some kind of mental health disorder and a chronic condition “fits the profile.”
@MisuseCase - he's also written a review of Kaczynski's manifesto on Good Reads.. so I'm 100% certain he was already on a list somewhere. All they had to do was look at the people they have data on for making these sorts of social media posts etc, and pick a white guy with dark eyes and strong eyebrows who looks like the pictures they have.
Investigating a crime isn't about solving it, it's about building a brief of evidence that will convict someone.
I've seen a lot of nuclear propaganda lately and it's pure bullshit
In a nutshell: CSIRO has found that building nuclear reactors in Australia would cost at least twice as much as renewable power and that it would take at least 15 years to build nuclear here. \ This latest analysis is just another reason why nuclear reactors are too risky, too expensive and too little, too late for Australia. They won’t lower power bills or fill the urgent energy gap being left by coal exiting
Australia’s leading science agency, CSIRO, has released its draft GenCost 2024-25 report which provides an economic analysis of the cost of building various energy projects in Australia. So what does it tell us?
Yup. Large wind and solar installations with warehouse-sized battery complexes are more useful and more cost-effective than solar, coal, or (at this point) natural gas plants. The nuclear and fossil fuel industries don't want to admit that, so they pay the governments they long ago bought to keep it from happening.
The nuclear supply chain is massive and is a pollution bomb from mining, purification, enrichment, and then there's the operation with neutrons everywhere. I maintain boilers and fortunately, the water I work with isn't saturated with isotopes.
There's a plutonium shortage that's driving the investors $$$
IT IS actually ridiculous that the sunniest countries (Australia + Spain + Italy but also US except maybe Southamerica) have least amount of solar installed (in % of electricity mix) IT IS ridiculous X-D (they all good power itself 3x times just with solar)
@mittimithaiI feel I benefitted tremendously from Prozac when I was in my early 20's-30's and desperately depressed. Pretty sure I stopped "needing" them a while ago but they're very hard to go off. I tried weaning off several times in my life with disastrous results. However, over a year ago I started my slowest weaning process yet. I started skipping one every 10 days, then every 9 days, 8 days, etc. and now I'm on every other day. And I feel fine, quite good actually. If this keeps up I expect to be fully off by Summer or Fall. I suspect being post-menopausal helps even more than the very slow wean.
Will be nice to not be dependent on Prozac/Fluoxetine any more. It was $2.50 a capsule when I started in the late 1980's, which was obscenely expensive back then. Now it's generic and practically free. On the other hand, a year ago I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and my medication for that retails at $25,000 per dose, every 8 weeks. Insurance covers it, but I'll be dependent on it, or whatever other monoclonal antibody replaces it once I build a tolerance, for the rest of my life. Oh well!

incidentally, I started using squint and I find it a lot more ergonomic. It's just cljs syntax on top of plain js, so you lose immutability, and a few other things. However, the js it generates is almost 1:1 making it really easy to debug. Also, no need for interop as any js code just works. github.com/squint-cljs/squint

Also: I'm starting to really hate the "I don't condone violence, but..." stuff.
Brian Thompson condoned violence every day of his professional life. Actively sought out violence, hired consultants to come up with ever-more creative and quasi-legal ways to do violence.
This violence was indifferent, focused, unrestrained, and targeted the most vulnerable people in the country. Who were *HIS CUSTOMERS*, mind you.
But it was *systemic*, and Americans are used to systems killing them.
