Hey so the AppImage guy pushes anti-Wayland conspiracy theories and follows a known Nazi piece of shit. Just in case the technical arguments weren’t winning you over, it’s fash tech

So we have roughly a 50:50 situation, despite Wayland increasingly being forced upon people. Interesting: Out of those who have one but prefer the other, the vast majority have Wayland and wish they'd have X11.Nitter

Linus Tech Tips: There was a recent thing from a major tech company where developers were asked to say how many lines of code they wrote, and if it wasn’t enough, they were terminated. And there was someone here who was extremely upset about that approach to measuring productivity because it means nothing.
Linus Torvalds: Oh yeah, no, you shouldn’t even be upset at that point. That’s just incompetence. Anybody who thinks that’s a valid metric is too stupid to work at a tech company.
LTT: You do know who you just said that about, right?
Linus Torvalds: No.
LTT: Oh. Uh… he was a prominent figure in the improved efficiency of the U.S. Government recently.
Linus Torvalds: Oh, apparently I was spot-on.

On the rails again… #Interrail #CrossBorderRail
Today, Wendy the DBJUNGLESKOG and I are heading off on an 11-hour 1,600km slog through France on a couple of TGV Duplexes, going, via Paris Gare de Lyon and Paris Gare de l’Est, to Karlsruhe Hbf.
Today’s Itinerary: trainlog.me/public/trip/557680…
On the way out towards Girona we pass through the new platforms at the as-yet-unopened Barcelona La Sagrera station. And there we saw some Renfe Series 103 trains parked up, as the station is currently being used as a depot for High-Speed trains. These 103s will become relevant next Thursday and Friday during the second and third day of the #ICEAgeChallenge…
Trainlog trip starting on 05 December 2025
From 🇪🇸 Barcelona - Sants to 🇩🇪 Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhoftrainlog.me
One of the absolute pleasures of travelling by train on this route is being able to do the section between Perpignan and Narbonne, especially on a Duplex train.
On this section, you have a whole load of marshes and salt flats as well as a couple of larger lakes that create some delightful scenery, and the train line goes right through the middle of some of these marshes. The main road is a little further to the east, and much further away from the edge of these lakes, so you get a unique view from the train.
If you catch the right time of year you will see hundreds, if not thousands, of flamingos on the lakes. This time there were only a few dozen.
Sadly, we must give up some of the nicer things in life in the name of progress, and the Ligne Nouvelle Montpellier-Perpignan is due to replace this as the main access to Spain from France, but not til the 2040s
Definitely worth going past during the daytime, or if you can swing it, during a sunset.
Another of the experiences that doesn’t get old, part of the ritual of this line that is the first I encounter on a trip, is when the train leaves Nîmes, and we hit the LGV Sud-Est, and the driver puts his hand forward and turns the speed up.
Today’s driver, Jean-Jacques, just got on the loudspeaker to wish us all a pleasant ride as we go at a leisurely 280km/h up the high speed line. Which I felt was a nice touch, as well as a bit of well-deserved bragging.
I am still amazed that I am on the top floor of a 200m long train the size of a small skyscraper on its side, that can travel at 300km/h as I listen to synthwave and tap away on a laptop. This never ceases to bring me a little joy, and it seems somewhat more real than the abstract feeling of flying point-to-point, where you can’t see anything but the land in th distance below you moving seemingly slowly.
AI slop is not only in security reports, but also in teams *handling* security reports:
‚The system owner finally relented: “to be honest, I asked ChatGPT and it said that what you said was wrong.”‘
To not waste experts any mote, let‘s fully automate this with chat AIs at both ends, leaving the humans to do something meaningful.

Já: Otevřel jsem schránku v AlzaBoxu a je prázdná.
Alzee: Rozuměla jsem správně, že máte problém s otevřením schránky?
Já: Ne. Schránku jsem otevřel, ale je prázdná, chybí zboží.
Alzee: Rozuměla jsem správně, že máte problém s otevřením schránky?
Já: Do pr*ele už!
Alzee: Upozorňuji vás, že hovor je nahráván a tato nahrávka kolegy nepotěší.
Já: Tak mě na ně konečně spojte, ať mi můžou pomoci.

Tesla is way ahead of the competition there already: its built-in navigation will only ever route you to Tesla chargers.
(Still not sure how they aren't in legal trouble over that in Europe...)
This is like Google refusing to take you to Chat GPT, or refusing to put the Chat GPT app in the Play Store, AKA something which did not, does not and never wil happen.
I really don't understand where all this malice comes from.

There. I said it.
Doing a Worcester shoot at the club this morning. It's only 20yd because it's indoors, but the target is 16in diameter and scores only 1-5, with the 5 being about the size of a golf ball. Consistent accuracy is the name of the game.
And I've not really had time to tune my new setup and (poss. related) have been shooting like poo, so this will be ... interesting.
@FreakyFwoof Don't think I've ever been!

Refreshing the page, now it's standard.
What still feels strange is how firmly NVAccess is holding on to the offline model idea. Yes, offline models can perform well with a strong GPU or an NPU, and the technology is improving fast. But will the majority of NVDA’s target users, now or even in the future, actually have the hardware needed to run these models properly? That part is still very uncertain.
Marking the feature as experimental is a good step forward, but the bigger question about practicality and user hardware remains unanswered.

I'll definitely have more to say about this one, but it's an immense tragedy to see a library management tool, of all fucking things, betray the whole concept of artistic expression like this. https://buc.ci/abucci/p/1764956951.732666The Wandering Shop
Seriously, there ought to be a central place where every time an open source project either adds "AI" integration or code generated by "AI", the repo is forked from the last commit before infection so that someone can someday resume from that point.
(I'd have set this up already but I'm at an energy low and will be for a while yet.)

Pooyan's Proposal: Create a seed-bank code repo containing every important project forked on the day before ChatGPT launched. (Although actually you might need to go with 28 June 2021, which would be the day before the first Github Copilot technical preview.)
Actually wait I just thought about this and realized that the precise timing of the ACTUAL GitHub seed bank, by which I mean the Arctic Code Vault, on 2020-02-02, makes it more or less a perfect snapshot of pre-Copilot GitHub. Also precisely timed before we all got brain damage from COVID. This is the only remaining archive of source code by people with a fully working sense of smell
