Merged with Maemo to become Meego, cancelled in favor of Tizen. The corpse became Sailfish OS.

Agreed. Someone commented that a political crisis, especially one of your own making, isn't one of the valid reasons to release grand jury information. As you noted, throwing this to the courts will just result in (a) delay and (b) the judge as the withholding scapegoat. It's ironic, though predictable, that in this case the Trump DOJ will be willing to abide by a judicial ruling rather than following Emil Bove's advice of F-U. :-)

Trump's action of suing the WSJ and Rupert Murdoch over the story about his apparent birthday card to Epstein is a similar ploy. Pursuing this will require depositions, under oath, from Trump, probably with inconvenient questions about his relationship with Epstein - which he definitely won't do while in office - forestalling any progress until he's out of office, while currently rallying his base around him, as the story and his denial seem to be doing. It's also not clear that a sitting President can even sue someone about personal things while in office, even from just a practical standpoint. (There are rules/laws against suing the President and you'd think the reasons for them are reciprocal.) In any case it seems he'll be using the DOJ as his personal attorneys while Congress and SCOTUS sit idly by.

Luckily these days gcc produces faster code than icc.

When I worked for an IC design company we used Sun's compiler for the same reason.

Yeah I was wondering about the idea of factories attracting the best people. That's not how factories work, the few people doing the maintenance aside. The work for the people on the line is designed to not require the best people.

Are you okay?

How did the stock market get into this discussion?

And the list concept concerns me. Are these lists appealable? If not, then they're abusable.

Also, the line between "AI generated" and "non-AI generated" is ever more fuzzy. AI is used for upscaling. AI is used in cameras to enhance images taken. AI is used to make the sort of minor edits that are done the world over in Photoshop. Etc. There's also the fact that this is done with image fingerprinting, which is fuzzy, so then any images that have minor modifications done with AI which get added to the list will get the raw images flagged as well. The thing people want to stop is "fake images", and in particular, "fake images that mislead about the topic at hand". But then that's not "AI" that's the problem in specific, that's image fakery in general (AI just makes it faster / easier).

And re: fingerprinting, take for example, the famous case of the content-spam creator who took a photo of a woodcarving of a German Shepard, flipped it horizontally, ran it through an AI engine to make trivial tweaks to the image, and then listed it as his own. I'd think any decent fingerprinting software would catch both versions. And if it's not flexible enough to catch that, then I have to wonder how useful it is at all, since images constantly change as they move around the internet, even accidentally, let alone deliberately.

As usual the summary is shit, it left out the most important detail.

These aren't Google Android devices, they are running some variant of AOSP.

All three of them? (I would have said two, but we have one here.)

Sure, or a good distribution.

My hope is that it will make sense to switch to using this new minipc for my interface, and to leave it running for long-running tasks. I have a 5900X desktop with a Nvidia card that I'm tired of dealing with video driver problems with. Speaking of Debian updates, I run Devuan. The main install on the system is an update from the prior version, and my fresh "recovery" install on another disk has no video driver problems...

better yet, set an activation time at which a few weeks worth of drones will simultaneously activate and attack a range of Russian sites . . .

uhm . . .. let's see . . . "In soviet Russia, the data backs *you* up!" ?

It's why I wouldn't have run this one even if I had heard of it. I really liked Moblin, but it wouldn't run on anything non-Intel anyway, so I never put it on anything else. I think I might actually have that Acer still, but I do not use it.

I am waiting for another AMD-based PC to come in the mail right now, a mini with a 5825U — the last AMD notebook/minipc processor I could find with really low consumption, 15W... And I have a Zen3 desktop too, so I can share optimized binaries between the systems.

I find most Office UI to be pretty good, though I don't mean 365 here. The performance is terrible, though. This used to be true of LibreOffice, and Calc still crumbles if you really load a lot of rows into it and Excel doesn't, but the UI is really painfully slow on desktop Office now and I've no clue why. Nothing else I run on the same machine has this problem. e.g. I can scroll a PDF really fast and it draws fine, but if I don't scroll a Word or Excel doc really slow, it can't keep up.

I put Moblin on my Acer Aspire, it was lovely. Guess how that story ends, hint, it actually involves the death of another Linux distribution that it took down with it.
