  • Nope, I deleted my account in 2016ish during that shit show.

  • It pretty much always has been a SteamOS alternative. Personally, I've had no huge issues with Bazzite.

  • You're using loanwords from English, something only done in South Korea. Further, you're using honorifics from SK. You also aren't using any distinct NK spelling or vocabulary. This didn't really help your case to be honest.

    Notably, your comment has almost nothing to do with the comment you're responding to. You don't mention how you got Tor to magically break out of the intranet.

    Tesla (TSLA) has to replace the ‘self-driving’ computer inside about 4 million vehicles or likely compensate the owners of those vehicles.

    The liability could be more significant than the largest automotive recall in terms of cost.

    In 2016, Tesla claimed that all its vehicles in production going forward have “all the hardware necessary for full self-driving capability.”

    Tesla’s use of the term “full self-driving” has changed over the years, but at the time and for years later, CEO Elon Musk claimed that it would mean Tesla owners would eventually receive a software update that would turn their vehicles into “robotaxis” capable of level-4-5 self-driving, which means unsupervised autonomous driving even with no one in the cars.

    Almost 10 years later, this has yet to happen and won’t happen soon in most of the cars Tesla has delivered over the last decade.

  • Sure, but I have serious doubts that Tor can escape the NK intranet and make a successful connection. Tor is great, but it's not magic. If the route doesn't exist, then it doesn't exist. Only a select few (likely elite) have a connection to the full internet, and even then I'm sure it's heavily monitored unless you're part of the Kim family.

    K-Pop doesn't get in through internet infrastructure.

  • This is pretty sus. How would you download the Tor client without internet access to begin with? Why are you not responding in any Korean either? It would be a way to prove you're actually in the country as NK has a specific dialect compared to SK.

  • Yeah, Ubuntu is really corpo these days, tons of bloat too. I avoid it like the plague.

  • We don't know if it's actually her in the image. While the likeness is similar, it's not 1:1 and the injuries make it even harder to tell.

    Police, sure, but it probably needs to come from instance admins who will have all of the information on the bots sending the image.

    In the model they consider, the star is initially part of a binary system at the center of our galaxy. The binary system passes close enough to the supermassive black hole, Sag A*, so that the subgiant is captured in close orbit while its companion escapes. Over time, the orbit of the subgiant decays and the star starts to enter the danger zone of Sag A*. This is where things get interesting.

    Because the outer layers of the subgiant are somewhat swollen, they are the first to be captured by the black hole. Essentially, the black hole can rip off the outer layers of the star, leaving a dense helium core. This bare core star continues to orbit ever closer to the black hole until finally being consumed.

    A research team from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich has developed an advanced delivery system that transports gene-editing tools based on the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system into living cells with significantly greater efficiency than before. Their technology, ENVLPE, uses engineered non-infectious virus-like particles to precisely correct defective genes—demonstrated successfully in living mouse models that are blind due to a mutation.

  • Don't worry, I have that too. My feelings lately have been a mix of shame, embarrassment, and depression. Oh, and rage, how could I forget.

  • I've definitely thought about it, but am currently far too embarrassed to be a US tourist, especially in Canada. I really should, though, I'd much rather give Canada my money than the US.

  • My knee makes horrible, disturbing crackling and popping sounds when I move it, even just a little bit. It doesn't hurt at all, and grosses out anyone who is unfortunate enough to hear it. I especially enjoy telling family members to "listen to this" and then slowly extending my leg out.

    I shattered the upper portion of my tibia while bouldering to get this ability. I asked my surgeon about it (my tibia/knee required a total of 3 surgeries to repair) and they told me it was likely scar tissue, and would persist.

  • But never suddenly, out of your control, right? As long as it's not narcolepsy, I would appreciate it if you gave me that skill.

  • Ugh, sounds like this will affect money market funds then.

  • Absolutely, and I'm not trying to say they don't own their infra or have the ability to cut off the Molly users. Luckily, if that were to happen, you could use the automated backups to restore back into Signal, since they're functionally the same.

    Regardless, both apps have reproducible builds. It's the infra that isn't reproducible.

  • They've been allowing Molly to continue to function for multiple years. Notably, from Molly's readme:

    Molly connects to Signal's servers, so you can chat with your Signal contacts seamlessly.

    I looked over the terms of service linked there and don't see anything specifically calling out third party clients. Is that elsewhere in another terms page somewhere or is it just not being specifically mentioned?

  • Point 2 is mostly not true, in that Molly exists and you can do reproducible builds with either implementation.

    How are US citizens preparing for the impending recession on the horizon?

    Personally, I've moved most of my investments into money market funds and plan on buying the dip, just like the multi millionaires. Other than that, I'm getting stocked up on shelf stable foods, and trying to get to know my neighbors a little better.

    Scientists release plans for an even bigger atom smasher along the French-Swiss border

    Scientists at the world’s largest atom smasher have released a blueprint for a much bigger successor that could help solve remaining enigmas of physics.

    The plans for the Future Circular Collider — a nearly 91-kilometer (56.5-mile) loop along the French-Swiss border and even below Lake Geneva — published late on Monday put the finishing details on a project roughly a decade in the making at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

    phys.org Study reveals tool use in tropical fish species

    Scientists have debunked the belief that using tools is unique to mammals and birds, after documenting tropical fish that smash shellfish against rocks to open and eat the meat, in a fascinating new study published in the journal Coral Reefs on 26 March 2025.

    Dr. Juliette Tariel-Adam from the School of Natural Sciences at Macquarie University led a project tracking tool use in multiple species of wrasses—a colorful reef fish.

    The study logs fish deliberately picking up hard-shelled prey like crabs and mollusks, smashing them against hard surfaces like rocks to access the meal inside.

    People often think about archaeology happening deep in jungles or inside ancient pyramids. However, a team of astronomers has shown that they can use stars and the remains they leave behind to conduct a special kind of archaeology in space.

    Mining data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, the team of astronomers studied the relics that one star left behind after it exploded. This "supernova archaeology" uncovered important clues about a star that self-destructed—probably more than a million years ago.

    Today, the system called GRO J1655-40 contains a black hole with nearly seven times the mass of the sun and a star with about half as much mass. However, this was not always the case.

    Originally GRO J1655-40 had two shining stars. The more massive of the two stars, however, burned through all of its nuclear fuel and then exploded in what astronomers call a supernova. The debris from the destroyed star then rained onto the companion star in orbit around it, as shown in the artist'

    New Android Trojan Crocodilus Abuses Accessibility to Steal Banking and Crypto Credentials

    Once installed and launched, the app requests permission to Android's accessibility services, after which contact is established with a remote server to receive further instructions, the list of financial applications to be targeted, and the HTML overlays to be used to steal credentials. Crocodilus is also capable of targeting cryptocurrency wallets with an overlay that, instead of serving a fake login page to capture login information, shows an alert message urging victims to backup their seed phrases within 12, or else risk losing access to their wallets.

    A cascade of actions from the Trump administration represents a “grave threat” to health care, social, educational and other critical services in Indian Country, including for Native American communities in the Northwest, tribal leaders say.

    In early March, the Trump administration announced the cancellation of leases for at least 12 Indian Health Service facilities and 25 Bureau of Indian Affairs offices, representing nearly 30% of all agency locations, including one each in Toppenish, Washington, and Lapwai, Idaho, as part of an effort to decrease federal office space.

    Additionally, IHS employees were included in a buyout offer from the Trump administration, alarming tribal officials and Indigenous community leaders who fear that any employees leaving the understaffed, underfunded agency will force the shutdown of critical health services.

    A warning and an experience with termites

    First off, if you aren't currently treating for termites with a soil treatment and/or bait system, start now. It will save you thousands in the long run, and you won't have constant fears of termites like I now do.

    Anyway, about two years ago, I was sitting with my partner, watching TV in our basement. My partner got up to do something, and noticed that at the bottom of our basement bathroom door frame, there was what looked like dirt. A closer inspection revealed that it wasn't dirt, much worse. This was termite frass, further confirmed by the termites visible in the frass.

    I quickly did research and bought termidor foam (It should be noted that Termidor foam only lasts 6ish weeks, and is meant to be applied directly to areas with active termite activity), dominon, and boracare off of domyown.com.

    I applied the foam, dug trenches around the house to treat soil with dominion, and waited about three months before fully demoing the bathroom. Inside of the wall closest to where m
