what makes them “failures”?

i hate windows and i don’t use Ubuntu but it’s difficult to consider Microsoft or Canonical as failures.

No it’s not. He can rush it through before the election. No political benefit for him, he can’t get reelected.

He is not alone there. Others around him would have prior preoccupations. I agree with quadrature on this:

Pas content, Macron a déjà annoncé qu’il demandait au gouvernement de revenir avec une nouvelle loi interdisant les réseaux sociaux aux jeunes. Une annonce qui ne sera sans doute pas suivie d’effet, tant le calendrier parlementaire français est bouché d’ici aux élections présidentielles de 2027. Mais c’est par l’Union européenne que cette mesure pourrait revenir. La Commission européenne planche toujours sur une loi européenne pour instaurer une interdiction des réseaux sociaux aux jeunes.

Macron responded to the ruling by instructing Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu to rework the legislation to address the court’s concerns, with the government now targeting spring 2027 for a revised law.

spring 2027? it’s the end of his presidency. His ban is practically dead.

Moka pot coffee is weak, just fill a quarter to a third of your mug with ground coffee, pour hot water, stir after a bit so it settles down at the bottom of your mug

i do that a couple of times a week. I love both, differently.

moka pot feels more “alchemical” than making coffee with a cezve.

Moka makes elixir of life, cezve makes… dark matter!

there was a recent 99% invisible episode about this: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/677-the-borrowed-nature-of-biomimicry/

that boxfish car looks good

best elixir and not expensive:

a moka pot + coffee & water+ heat

i know that some cultures used the same word for blue and green. They didn’t perceive 2 different colours but hues of, for example, glaz.

orange is linked to the fruit in many languages. that’s why i posted those 2 photographs together.

Orangutans too are orange and i’m sorry for writing this sentence :) At least they’re not striped.

The Wikipedia article where you appear to have gotten that image of a tiger from even describes them as such in the first paragraph.

you must have edited that page after i have read :)

same as zebras, which are black with white stripes

same here 🤷

look at just the burnt umber and papaya whip(?)

Funnily enough this is actually why tigers are orange.

tigers are orange?

fuck ICE, fuck tasers but then why did tasers become insufficient and they had to invent electroshock gloves?

fuck compliance too

I mean take a look at smartphones, it is what most “normal users” prefer using nowadays.

prefer? Do you know how difficult (or often impossible) it is to modify your phone’s OS?

That’s not a ‘preference’, that’s an imposition!

beep.

for my OS i want complete mutability. I’ve spent the last 2 days learning NixOS because it’s bringing something completely different to the table. It made me like Arch more :)
Most of the “fork of a fork of a fork” distributions of today will probably disappear in a couple of years. At least you’ll learn from this endeavour.

yes, he becomes mister bird when he is making music.

every Quentin Dupieux movie is a weird movie :)

According to OpenAI, one of its GPT-5.6 Sol agents was being evaluated on a platform called ExploitGym, which benchmarks large language models by asking them to write proof-of-concept security exploits for known vulnerabilities. Normally, ExploitGym is designed to be a closed ecosystem for proof-of-concept testing only, and AI agents shouldn’t have access to the internet while being evaluated.

But this agent found a zero-day vulnerability in a package registry tool called Artifactory, then used it to gain access to the web. From there, the OpenAI agent gained access to Hugging Face’s company systems using publicly exposed credentials across four separate services. It went on to spend two days inside the company’s internal systems, managed to secure root access to several production servers, and even enrolled 181 attacker-controlled devices into Hugging Face’s corporate network.

Jellyfin stop working each time I close my screen.

screen of what? Laptop? Phone? Tablet?

it may just be a background permission problem

“Once installed” is operative here. Pegasus isnt a magic wand that you can swish to read all text messages on every phone. It needs to be deployed.

indeed, unless you’re a target for a state or a company that cares to spend money to spy on you, you don’t need to worry about pegasus

Aren’t decorative cabbages edible?

Whilst not a toxic vegetable in its natural state, an increase in intestinal gas can lead to the death of many small animals like rabbits due to gastrointestinal stasis.
