Merci pour le taf!
I like the idea of a space marine character and armor based on Isaac from the dead space series. Unitology and the Ishimura are much more appropriate as chaos [space marine] factions than an imperial-aligned chapter. Even more appropriate would be some sort of warp-spawn aligned group, for example a chapter that has been captured by enslavers.
Interesting news, to be sure. It's a shame that the article's "What People Are Saying" section is really "what high-placed Russian officials are saying".
Thank you, OP, for sharing an archive link.
I don't think anyone can host a relay right now aside from bluesky.
People can host their own data / Personal Data Server, which is somewhere between self-hosting a mastodon instance and creating an account on someone else's instance. The actual equivalent would be self-hosting your masto account separately from any instance (which is just not a thing with the current state of mastodon nor activity pub).
Sometimes it's been butch cis women being accused of "being a man".
Hate and bigotry really break people's minds, it's sad to see.
You know what? Maybe I will. It'll certainly be a good bout of catharsis.
Would be the first Isekai I read with genuine interest in a long time.
I don't see it mentioned anywhere in this thread: OP, in case you aren't aware, you can read the platform's speed off of it's hub, and use that to control a pump supplying the thrusters. Only one of the fuel/oxidizer duo needs limiting, so you only need a single pump to do this. Set the pump's condition to [speed] < [your target speed], and your platform will hover around the target speed.
This will over fill the thrusters when stopped (notably when orbiting a planet) but in my experience as soon as the platform resumes travel it burns through the excess in a matter of seconds before returning into the regular "regime".
Friendly PSA that efficiency modules also impact nutrient consumption on biochambers!
Can be very useful for setups that chronically starve themselves.
It's good that the head of state says so publicly. I won't exactly hold my breath for anything beyond this acknowledgement to happen, sadly.
We're coming up on the 1-year anniversary of Macron dissolving the French Parliament, which is when he will be legally allowed to dissolve it again. The last time he hoped to bolster his party by capitalizing on the country's reactance to the far-right surge in the (then-) recent European Parliament elections, but the left got their shit together and managed to form a coalition that arrived ahead of both the far-right and macron's party. This time around he seems to be courting the moderate left a lot harder: a few weeks ago he announced that France could formally recognize a Palestinian State later this summer, last week he courted American Scientists fleeing the Trump Administration, and now this.
It stinks of opportunism, and I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. Still, this is better than him not saying anything. It is a disgrace that France made Haiti trade their freedom on the basis of compensating for the market price of the former slaves, and has (to my knowledge) never given back a cent.
Now there's a name I hadn't heard in a long time.
RIP and damn you Jacen for fallling so hard (even if said fall made for some very compelling writing).

Shit I can't remember most of them, but the "add 3 enchanted aces" is pretty solid (that is a spectral effect, right?)
As you might be able to tell, I play pretty conservatively. Though that might change once I've unlocked more.
I felt the same way about episode 6's waning mythological feel, until I recently watched all 6 in the so-called "Machete" order (4 -> 5 ->1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 6). Ending with 6 right after having gone through the prequels ramped the myth feeling up to 11 for me in a very interesting way - there are so many parallels between 3 and 6 and at the same time 6 shines so much the brighter in contrast to 3. There's a cyclical nature to the whole star wars narrative project as directed by George Lucas that I never noticed for my self until this rewatch, despite having seen all 6 movies over a dozen times each.
Especially the juxtaposition of Anakin's confrontation of Windu and Palpatine, contrasted with Luke's confrontation of Vader and Palps. It was always apparent that Luke's decision to forfeit his life rather than killing his father was his way of breaking his family's cycle (and symbolic of the rest of the Galaxy breaking free of the empire), but when I was just watching his father condemn the entire galaxy to fascism and evil on the off chance that his wife will be "saved" an hour or two earlier, it just hit different.
The guardian apparently wrote an article that was shared in .world/c/news : https://lemmy.world/post/28450666
The example case they give is more that the New York Times account can verify that a given, other, account actually is the account for one of their journalists.
To do that with domains, NYT would need to create a subdomain of theirs and let the journalist use it. At that point, might as well let the journalist use their own domain as well as have the NYT account verify the journalist's account.
I like the idea, but then who gets to decide who is and isn't a credible source? Is it only intra-account verifying? Can anyone verify anyone else, or do you need to be authorized by bluesky to start verifying others?
100% agree on this recommendation. Her Young Wizards / "So you want to be a wizard?" makes almost the exact opposite choices as the Harry Potter series does (magic is a choice not inherited at birth, Wizards feel responsible towards the rest of the world instead of wanting to ignore it completely, they learn on their own with their magic tome and some informal tutors instead of going to a school).
Succinctly put, though I got some cognitive dissonance when the author wrote about bluesky being their choice of decentralized network to get involved with without even mentioning the hosting costs involved with running a bsky relay (or whichever component of the ATP network actually holds the data "firehose").
According to this article it took a server that costs around $150/month over 4 days to spin up a working relay, most of which was spent ingurgitating half a terabyte of data (that's what ended up on disk in any case). Far from exorbitant, yet if I want to self host for my own personal needs it's still gobs more data and compute than any activity pub software needs.
Maybe my view of "decentralization as in democracy" is just fundamentally different from the author's. I get the feeling that to them, as long as each friend group has 1 self-hoster in it then democracy through decentralization is preserved. This would make sense that they orient themselves towards something like bluesky and the AT protocol. Personally, I don't think we should be satisfied with that level of decentralization/democracy - it's a nice start, but we should strive for reaching at least 50% of people self-hosting an activity pub instance to truly achieve the type of decentralization that serves democracy. Of course, I'm not aware of any activity pub software that can be selfhosted by even 10% of the population, currently, so there's definitely a lot of work to do before my vision is feasible.
I was about to be sad that they're giving up on "actually owning" their comic books, but then I read this part
I only purchase DRM-free comics, buying from publishers that release their works without digital restrictions such as Image Comics, Iron Circus Comics, and Vault Comics.
Bravo !

Re: les réflexions sur migrer sur un autre logiciel coté server que Lemmy
Je lisais des fils dans !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com et suis tombé sur une n-ième discussion concernant les chars, les ours, et la dés[t]alinisation du développement du logiciel lemmy (dsl pour les jeux de mots enfantins mais c'est pas la partie importante de mon message et je ne veux surtout pas relancer de sujet à leur propos).
Non seulement des discussions assez intéressantes politiquement (et pas que sur les logiciels du fédivers), mais surtout j'y découvre qu'il y a plusieurs tentatives de fork de Lemmy en ce moment, ainsi qu'apparemment sublinks se voudrait être capable de fonctionner directement avec une ancienne db de/pour lemmy.

DEF CON 32 - Disenshittify or die! How hackers can seize the means of computation - Cory Doctorow
cross-posted from: https://jlai.lu/post/10771035, https://jlai.lu/post/10771034
Personal review:
A good recap of his previous writings and talks on the subject for the first third, but a bit long. Having paid attention to them for the past year or two, my attention started drifting a few times. I ended up being more impressed with how much he's managed to condense explaining "enshittification" from 45+ minutes down to around 15.
As soon as he starts building off of that to work towards the core of his message for this talk, I was more-or-less glued to the screen. At first because it's not exactly clear where he's going, and there are (what felt like) many specific court rulings to keep up with. Thankfully, once he has laid enough groundwork he gets straight his point. I don't want to spoil or otherwise lessen the performance he gives, so I won't directly comment on what his point is in the body of this post - I think the comments are better suited for that anywa

Learning Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists
This might be a more interesting dive into Rust for those with a fair amount of existing c and/or c++.
I tried it out myself a few years ago. I had fun reliving the nightmare of implementing doubly-linked lists in C back in school! I never made it to the end of the book, though; it got wayyyy more complex around halfway than I could process at the time.
