Like Apple, Google is sad because DMA compliance costs them money. There are fabulously brilliant digital products (presumably, code for "Artificial Intelligence") which can't be sold to EU customers because of pinko commie godless regulation.
Like Apple, Google is tugging on our heartstrings at the money it must spend on obeying rules, and the amount it might lose by no longer being able to behave uncompetitively. It's like watching Bambi's mum's death scene on a loop while chopping onions and listening to "Seasons in the Sun".

@ThePfromtheO @Vivaldi, yes, it's supported by an advertising company, but is independent and still one of the most private search engine using proxies in searches. It use the same search base as Google, but without its tracking and logging crap. I use it mostly for image searches where Andi isn't so good for.
@Catweazle “I use it mostly for image searches where Andi isn't so good for.”
I used #DuckDuckGo_Search for that. TBH, #AndiSearch usually seems a little better at #image_search than #BraveSearch (I am using #AndiSearch these days and comparing it with #BraveSearch to decide on one of them). What I don't like at #AndiSearch is that it's slower than #BraveSearch, and that it doesn't display at least an animation to show that images are loading…
@Vivaldi, yes, Andi certainly isn't the fastest, and also logical in a small startup with for sure not the biggest server for it. But on the other hand, from all the AIs Itested, it's the most reliable, ethic and which best protect the privacy. Very similar philosopy of the one from Vivaldi, respect ethics and users. Not so important that it needs a second more for the research.
@Catweazle “Not so important that it needs a second more for the research.” You get that second back because of the accuracy of the results. Otherwise, you would anyway waste it if using another #SearchEngine 😀
Yes, Startpage is majority-owned by System1, an advertising technology company, through its subsidiary Privacy One Group. This acquisition happened in December 2018, though it wasn't publicly announced until October 2019.
System1 describes itself as "one of the largest purchasers of digital advertising in the world" and uses "statistical and machine-learning models to group consumers into thousands of audience profiles"
However, Startpage maintains that its privacy protections remain intact. According to Startpage CEO Robert Beens, the company retains control over privacy-related decisions and continues to operate from the Netherlands under EU privacy laws. Startpage claims it still does not store user data or IP addresses, and only serves contextual ads based on search queries rather than behavioral targeting.

Maximizing the biochar yield in biomass pyrolysis is crucial for optimizing both environmental benefits and economic returns. A pyrolysis plant, which thermally decomposes organic materials in the absence of oxygen, can efficiently transform waste biomass into valuable biochar, a carbon-rich product. However, improving biochar yield requires optimizing several critical factors within the pyrolysis process. Here, we explore the key strategies for achieving higher biochar production and the technical aspects that influence the output.
Temperature Control
One of the most significant factors affecting biochar yield is the pyrolysis temperature. In general, a lower pyrolysis temperature favors biochar production, while higher temperatures tend to produce more volatile gases and liquids. Optimal temperatures for biochar production typically range from 400°C to 600°C. Operating outside this range can lead to either insufficient carbonization or excessive gas formation, both of which reduce biochar yield.
For a biochar production equipment to maximize biochar output, careful regulation of the temperature profile is necessary. Maintaining a consistent heating rate and ensuring that the material reaches the optimal temperature without excessive overheating is essential for achieving a high biochar yield.
Heating Rate
The rate at which biomass is heated during pyrolysis plays a pivotal role in determining the amount of biochar produced. A slow heating rate generally promotes higher biochar yield, as it allows the biomass more time to undergo thermal degradation at lower temperatures. Conversely, rapid heating can result in a quicker release of volatiles, reducing the final biochar yield.
By carefully controlling the heating rate, a biomass pyrolysis plant can optimize the carbonization process. Generally, a heating rate of 5-10°C per minute is considered ideal for biochar production. Slower heating rates prevent the biomass from reaching temperatures that favor the production of non-condensable gases, thus preserving more of the carbon content in the biochar.
Feedstock Quality
The type and moisture content of the biomass feedstock directly influence biochar production. Biomass materials with higher moisture content require more energy to evaporate the water before they can start the pyrolysis process. High moisture content not only increases the energy required for pyrolysis but also dilutes the carbon concentration in the final product.
To improve biochar yield, it is essential to pre-dry feedstocks such as wood, agricultural residues, or even municipal waste before processing. This reduces the energy input required for the process and ensures that more of the biomass is converted into biochar rather than lost as volatile gases. Feedstock with lower ash content also tends to yield more biochar, as ash can reduce the overall carbon content.
Particle Size
The particle size of the biomass feedstock influences heat transfer and the efficiency of the pyrolysis process. Smaller particles have a greater surface area, which allows for more efficient thermal degradation and, consequently, higher biochar yield. However, extremely small particles may cause clumping or clogging in the pyrolysis plant, potentially affecting the quality of the biochar.
Finding the optimal particle size for different types of biomass is crucial. Typically, particle sizes ranging from 1 to 5 cm work well, ensuring both efficient thermal conversion and smooth processing in the pyrolysis plant.
Residence Time
The amount of time the biomass spends inside the pyrolysis reactor, known as the residence time, is another critical parameter. Longer residence times allow for more thorough carbonization, which can increase the biochar yield. However, extended residence times at higher temperatures can also lead to the degradation of biochar into lighter fractions like gases or oils.
Balancing residence time with other process parameters, such as temperature and heating rate, ensures that biomass is given enough time to convert into biochar without excessive breakdown into gaseous or liquid byproducts.
Optimized Reactor Design
The design of the pyrolysis reactor has a direct impact on the overall yield of biochar. Advanced reactors that provide uniform heat distribution, efficient gas flow management, and better thermal insulation are more effective in producing high-quality biochar. Modern pyrolysis plants often utilize batch reactors or continuous systems, each with its advantages depending on the scale of operation.
Reactor design also influences heat retention, which is essential for achieving the right temperature profiles. Ensuring that the pyrolysis plant has a well-insulated and airtight system reduces heat loss and allows for more efficient processing of the biomass feedstock.
Catalysts and Additives
In some cases, the use of catalysts or additives can enhance the pyrolysis process and increase biochar yield. Catalysts such as alkali metals or transition metals can promote more complete carbonization and reduce the production of tar and other volatile substances. These additives can be especially useful when processing biomass types that tend to produce excessive amounts of liquid or gaseous byproducts.
However, careful consideration of catalyst type and dosage is essential to avoid contamination of the final biochar, which could negatively impact its quality and subsequent applications.
Monitoring and Automation
Automation and real-time monitoring are indispensable in optimizing biochar yield. A pyrolysis plant equipped with sensors and control systems can continuously adjust parameters like temperature, pressure, and heating rate for maximum biochar production. Automated systems can also facilitate the continuous feed of biomass, ensuring consistent processing and reducing downtime between batches.
Regular monitoring also allows for quick identification and correction of any operational issues that may hinder biochar production. Over time, the data collected through these systems can be analyzed to refine operational strategies and improve biochar yield.
Conclusion
Achieving optimal biochar yield from biomass pyrolysis requires a careful balance of various operational factors, including temperature control, heating rate, feedstock quality, and reactor design. By focusing on these key parameters and leveraging advanced pyrolysis plant technology, producers can significantly increase their biochar output, ensuring both environmental sustainability and economic viability. As demand for high-quality biochar continues to grow, improving the yield will become an essential consideration for any pyrolysis plant operator.

#Ai / Google discontinues fact-checking snippets in their search product
Fact-checking snippets were designed to protect users from misinformation and expose them to reliable sources first. Discontinuing this feature in favor of #AI-generated summaries risks amplifying inaccuracies or hallucinations.
The founder and CEO of Maldita.es and chair of the European Fact-Checking Standards Network, expressed concern over #Google’s decision to end its 10-year collaboration with fact-checkers without prior notice or consultation. Google claims its data indicates the fact-checking snippet is “not commonly used in Search” and no longer offers “significant additional value for users,” yet it has not shared this data. In contrast, the Reuters Institute Digital News Report, which surveyed 92,000 online news consumers across 46 markets, found that 25% globally seek fact-checks in search results, with 38% in the U.S. and 44% in Norway expecting such information. In Europe, the average is 23%, while in the Balkans, 31% of Serbians look for fact-checks. Additionally, 38% of Brazilians, 32% of Kenyans and South Africans, and 37% of Filipinos in the Global South also expect fact-checks when verifying information.
Google is clearly not going to stop aggressively promoting their AI to their customers. This decision simply happens to be compatible with the current political climate in the United States and is extremely convenient when both the United States and Israel are engaged in activities that they deny are genocide. At least when it comes to results related to what’s happening in Gaza, the regurgitated bullshit from regime-friendly pro-Israel media outlets like the #NYT and #WAPO are incredibly helpful. I doubt Google’s large language models are trained on data from Al Jazeera, The Intercept, or Electronic Intifada.
Regardless, the best solution is undoubtedly not to use Google for search. DuckDuckGo and many other alternatives come to mind, as do self-hosted meta search engines like SearNGX (which offers significantly more useful tools than either).

Everybody wants to make a game about running a small business when what we SHOULD be doing is making a game about running an office of public infrastructure. i don't WANT to spend every day "making money at my cute cozy shop" i want to run a cute cozy POST OFFICE or BUS STATION or WATER TREATMENT PLANT
yes i know there's a lot of games like this but we need MORE we gotta push back against the small business mindset. you will not get rich selling your crops to the local store! but you COULD make a difference if we had COMMUNIST INFRASTRUCTURE
basically that is even harder when you think about it. In those "manage your shop maximise profits" at some point you make enough so you can easily save some money up an go forward, but with public infrastructure you have a budget you have to take care of. no way of just making more. you could also add like a "politics" tab where you have to make some good decisions to get more funding for stuff (like a better bench on the bus stop)
Oh my god, you gave me an idea of a game. In early fifties, each french electrical substation were runned by two people. They did everything there : maintenance, gardening, electrical dispatching... sometimes, they were other people who went to the substation for some expert work.
I think we can make a game about it. It will deal with relationship between workers, how to deal with the others, maintaining a place and of course, some electrical things....
on a similar note, i like stuff like the factory logistics management in Satisfactory, but the game encourages you to clear-cut forests and build giant industrial complexes. we need more logistics games with a focus on efficiency for a minimal footprint and ecological restoration
YES i agree completely. this is part of why i only play modded minecraft in multiplayer. with complex enough mods you can in fact run a cute cozy chemical synthesis / power generation / water treatment plant
What about a cozy farming game about solving a food crisis, instead of selling crops to make money and basically own the town. As you grow you move past the local town and have the challenges of growing different crops for the next sphere. Which encourages you to not monocrop. Upgrades are awarded on how well you are feeding the people and considering their local needs. Maybe an overarching goal is to push out the "cozy shops" (which aren't that cozy and of course are capitalistic minded) in favor of the communism.
Sub goals might include helping the post office (since they are shipping your crops) and the water treatment (since they water your crops).
I'd love to run a cute cozy train station! Where there's real passenger service and cute little shops (it would be nice to have other people run those inside my game) and all!
We keep thinking about running a game jam as a fundraiser.
Definitely not always cozy, but a farm type game would work, building up stations, routes, getting stung by cops and scammers, making resource decisions (imagining the player character running from the fundraiser to the airport to ... )
Or an interactive fiction (make some chatbots maybe, with different agendas, and a fake messenger client) Abstract game, where you have to find routes to safety when there are restrictions.
I would love to work in a library with a community outreach calendar and local folks with dialogue where books and research help them solve their problems.

DOJ Charges 324 in Largest #Healthcare #Fraud Takedown in U.S. #History — $14.6 BILLION Scheme Involved 96 #Doctors, #Nurses, and Pharmacists Targeting #Medicare and Medicaid
The Department of Justice on Monday unveiled a record-shattering crackdown on the #corrupt underbelly of #America’s #health care #system. A jaw-dropping 324 defendants — including 96 medical professionals — have been charged in 50 federal districts and 12 states for orchestrating over $14.6 billion in intended fraud, largely targeting Medicare, Medicaid, and federal health programs meant to serve the #elderly, #disabled, and the #poor.
The takedown, spearheaded by the DOJ’s Health Care Fraud Unit in coordination with HHS-OIG, the FBI, the DEA, and over a dozen state attorney general offices, marks the largest health care fraud bust in U.S. history.
“Today, as we announced the largest coordinated health care fraud takedown in the history of the Department of Justice, it marks a decisive moment in our fight to protect American taxpayers from fraudsters and to defend the integrity of America’s health care system,” said Matthew R. Galeotti, DOJ’s Head of the Criminal Division.
“We are announcing today charges against 324 defendants for their alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving approximately $14.6 billion in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, and other health care programs.”
“These criminals didn’t just steal someone else’s money — they stole from you. Every fraudulent claim, every fake billing, every kickback scheme represents money taken directly from the pockets of American taxpayers who fund these essential programs through their hard work and sacrifice. And when criminals defraud these programs, they’re not just committing theft — they’re driving up our national deficit and threatening the long-term viability of health care for seniors, disabled Americans, and our most vulnerable citizens.”

Open Linux Kernel Modules Installed by Default Starting in the release 560 series, it will be recommended to use the open flavor of NVIDIA Linux Kernel Modules wherever possible (Turing or later GPUs, or Ada or later when using GPU virtualization).
The article is interesting in that it talks about pushing towards open versions of kernel modules, instead of legacy ones, and of much broader scope that the literal 2 lines you chose as title.
Because the open module is only for Turing or later GPUs, or Ada, and the open module is available for those since 2022 so it's not that big of a news.
That doesn't mean it's good they're deprecating cards to do it. They were still selling GT1030s new until relatively recently, and the GTX1080 is a perfectly workable card.
If you think open versions are cool, how about them just open-sourcing the Maxwell & Pascal drivers? Oh, that's right, they won't because the "special sauce" is in the driver, not the card BIOS like it is for the Turing & up families.
my 750 ti works. nouveau can't increase the clock speed to the operating clock on boot, on boot the display on that card shows random data with colorful pixels, and nvtop does not see it either, but it works.
NVK doesn't support older cards though last time I checked. Pretty funny how I ended up with a stack of paperweights because NVidia dropped support and Nouveau/NVK can't get their shit together and instead of focusing on existing hardware they rather keep chasing the "latest and greatest".
(Perhaps asking silly questions in order to understand, I've never totally understood the nvidia driver numbers and what they mean, i just kinda installed some and they seem to work and i just forgot about them, i can run the modest games i like)
So just for clarity the 580 drivers will support my 980Ti right? How long will those be supported for? Will there come a time that i will not be able to properly use this card with linux and run (modest games) games on it?
The 980Ti as stated by the Dirk's comment use Maxwell architecture, I'm not able to find any end of support date on the site, so I'm not sure when they will drop support.
Will there come a time that i will not be able to properly use this card with linux and run (modest games) games on it?
Unfortunately you don't need to wait to see this happens, because it's already happening right now, indeed dx12 games have a lot of problems running on this older cards on linux, and I myself experienced this with my 1060 first with cyberpunk 2077 and after that with resident evil 2 remastered.
As even stated by doitsujin (dxvk creator):
Low D3D12 performance on Nvidia Pascal (and older) GPUs is expected and likely won't improve much. The hardware has a bunch of limitations that make it very hard to extract good performance. Turing fares better, but only AMD actually runs reasonably well right now.

Ah thanks for the reply. That is a shame about DX12, i must have not tried any of these cos i've found all games i pick run great (i mostly play 2D non intensive indie games). I did play some Death Stranding and was very surprised by how well it ran!
I'll go for AMD if i can next time (i've been doing well getting hand me downs from friends who love getting the latest stuff for themselves!)
I know it's a generation later but the 1660ti I bought secondhand just before the pandemic is also working like a beast. If I had a lot of disposable income maybe I would've upgraded but it's performing so good that I'd rather spend the 1500+ bucks on a different project like a NAS for jellyfin.
I was just thinking, I wish a trillion dollar company would figure out a way to turn a few billion dollars worth of usable hardware into e-waste today.
Hopefully people dumping these cards drives down the used prices.
