Trump has done more to accelerate the adoption renewables than anyone EVER by goading Iran into closing the straits of Hormuz.
Non-stupid countries read that signal correctly and will respond more-or-less rationally. To whit, get the fuck off middle east oil.

What's ironic is that feeds his megalomania. Extreme-ego types love that their detractors are thinking about them all the time.

"Living rent-free" is the ultimate payoff.

Best to ignore them as much as possible.

There's ~8 billion of us, if we eat one or two of these antisocial dickheads, that works out to be less than a gram per citizen, you won't even notice it. Less than a communion wafer or the rat hair in a hotdog. Part of your civic duty like going to church or jury duty.

Pretty soon they'd stop inflicting their stupid selfish ideas on the general public.

Small correction... the renaming happened in 2024, not 2025.

Yes, it's related. Worldcoin was renamed to World last October.

Instead of 10 activations limit it to n number of sync chains.

Pair the activation authorization to the hash of a chain code or whatever on the Brave activation server.

Reduce the number to 5, that's fine.

A good number of privacy folks have extra devices to run certain apps. You might trust Brave and have them all synced but not some odd banking apps or dating apps or stuff work makes you have.

A decent used phone can be had for $50; keeping all those apps on one device seems nuts.

5 sync chains would effectively be a family license around here. Sounds like a good deal at $60.

Having a license wear out because your phone needed a factory reset or went in for service just doesn't make sense.

... and with all their mass-firings probably AI slop too.

I prefer the small rural theaters with a dozen people at a matinee.

Big and Loud will appeal to the Zoomers who aren't broke. That's about 10% of them.

These are the new Intolerable Acts.

There's a reason you learned how to be a Marine. "Foreign and domestic."

This seems to be the open-access link but in searching for that I saw another article from the authors about the small intestine metabolizing fructose into glucose.

So it's probably more complex than we thought. Another 5-6-fructase pathway, I'd guess, haven't read it yet.

It was an unusual campaign in that 95% of campaign promises weren't not just unfulfilled but 180* opposite of policy. Ultimate con man.

But now that Philippines is nearly out of oil China has made overtures to take care of their oil needs which have been defacto accepted.

The quid pro quo isn't stated yet but US caused their oil crisis so this announcement isn't real.

What an odd thing to say.

I rip my DVD and Bluray discs to a NAS and play them with Jellyfin. There's not even an optical player near a TV anymore. The last one died in about 2008.

But I have put some of those files on USB before for the kids.

Used Blurays are about $5 usually and much better quality than any streaming service rental.

The Onn is an excellent device for the money and most questionable aspects can be disabled or piholed. Jellyfin and SmartTube and Projectivy are all fine.

I should go see if LineageOS has added any new low-power devices in the past year. That's the best option but nothing supported was for sale when I last looked.

Exactly.

Somebody said they spent a lot of time and money coming up with a new "nonbinary" mascot.

I started using Firefox over 20 years ago and never had any idea whether the fox was male or female. Since thunderbirds are fictional I'm not sure about the sexual dimorphism of their plumage.

It's hard to understand how they think these days. At least Ladybird will offer a second rendering engine when the bubble pops. Engineering-focused software organizations used to be the norm.

I guess a Ladybird is a female, not that it matters at all. The AI should have Majel Barret's voice anyway.

Posting since it was only in the footnotes.

15W might be good for use cases where n1x0 are a bit slow.

I'd consider a mini pc with one of these for kiosk-type applications. I have an n100 platform that gets maxed out with about 8 4K streams running. Would be nice to bump those up to 12 streams without much more power.

The iGPU code for ffmpeg is pretty good.

Hopefully these move beyond laptops later in the year.

Some colos don't even provide v6 yet.

Some ISP's still don't suport it.

Some classes of network gear only recently got hardware v6 support. Older gear still in service pushes v6 onto the CPU. Probably why those colos and ISP's don't support it.

And I still see important v6 fixes coming in hardware changelogs, mostly on the LAN management stacks (neighbor discovery, mDNS, etc.)

That said, the pieces are finally coming together in the past two years, roughly.

I would bet 2030* will see v6 at around 75% of traffic as that old gear is tricked out and the stacks wind up in maintenance mode.

At home I actually have more light bulbs on v6 than desktops, but that'll change when my switches get too old and tired. I could replace them all right now to change but there would be no benefit to me for dropping three to four grand. None of my home use cases would benefit.

* 2038 if the politicians do actually create a global depression which is looking increasingly likely
