That would explain why my MP - not quite climate change denier David TC Davis - has been pulling a lot of duty this election.

Isn’t the GPU documented now?

There are reverse engineered docs as well: https://github.com/hermanhermitage/videocoreiv

I suspect publishing pictures of under age kids is the issue. It does sound like a slightly more clubby school disco and I assume these were alcohol and drug free events with only children and vetted adults on site?

It’s certainly a bad idea to rely on conscripts to make up the bulk of your fighting force. It’s not a totally bad idea to have a population of fighting age citizens have had some basic military training and know which way to hold a gun. Countries like Finland or Switzerland have a more realistic view of what they may need to do if things ever got bad on their eastern front.

For the UK we’d have probably resorted to our nuclear deterrent before we consider putting conscripts on the front line.

Usually it’s one of those things you do when your move house. Every now and again they will send a form to confirm the entries are correct and if nothing has changed you just tick there box and send it back (or reply online). People who move a lot or bounce between two addresses (e.g. students) are usually the ones that drop through the cracks.

I didn’t know you could use mods on the steam deck. Are there any that make sorting through your inventory easier?

Self hosting takes time and energy and most open source developers join projects because they are interested in the project not becoming admins. On top of that building a CI system is an expensive undertaking when a lot of hosting solutions provide a fair amount of compute for free to qualifying projects.

This isn’t still complaining about the fact they hired an ex-policeman?

There are lots of SBCs out there but the difference really comes down to documentation and how upstreamable everything is. The Pi might not be perfect but it’s a much more reliable design to build something with than many of the other options.

They are both. There is a non profit foundation which funds the educational side and the main company which operates for a profit. I suspect the bulk of their revenue comes from the industrial side of things where the Pi makes a much better base than a lot of the half assed hacked together SBC’s out in the market.

There have certainly been mis-steps asking the way but all in all I consider the Pi to be a British success story. I guess it remains to be seen how much of the valuation goes to the founders and employees and how much is invested into their next phase of growth.

Usually when MPs defect the receiving party tries to find them a safe seat to defend come the election. Otherwise what would the point be?

I’m just getting to the end of the Dragonborn DLC before returning to continue my first run through Skyrim.

I tried all sorts of port forwarding tricks to get wireguard working on the VM that runs my HA instance to no avail. The trailscale solution works really well. The only real problem I had was magic DNS conflicts with DNS66 on my phone (which I use for ad blocking). In the end I just used a hardwired VPN IP for my HA connection.

From the UK perspective broadcasters have a license to broadcast and are regulated by ofcomm. I thought the FCC had similar oversight of the US broadcasters - for example not being keen on swearing and sex on TV. For UK news programmes there is a requirement to be balanced for example.

I think one difference is Google is a pull system: you query Google and get results. The short form video streams are push mediums. They feed you a stream of content that it thinks you want. They are fundamentally more susceptible to pushing a particular agenda.

The evidence from the reports in the above article certainly looks pretty daming that tiktok is pushing a particular agenda. The comparison to broadcast which often does have licensing requirements is probably apt.

I don’t buy the arguement that this gives cover to repressive regimes to censor more views because frankly they are doing that already.

From the foreword:

“Throughout, the Review has focused on hearing a wide range of perspectives to better understand the challenges within the current system and aspirations for how these could be addressed. This report does not contain all that we have heard but summarises consistent themes, using direct quotes to illustrate points made, where appropriate.”

How heavily does she quote this group in the report? Because the report certainly doesn’t recommend banning care for trans people.

Meeting with different groups is hardly evidence of bias on her part. The report even mentions the range of views that fed into report in the intro.

Buy games from indie developers on platforms like itch.io. You may have a negative view of the other people involved in funding and marketing a triple AAA game but they all contribute and get a share of the retail price. You don’t get to pick and choose who deserves to get their slice.

It’s interesting they’ve gone from a simple reskin to a downstream fork. I’m guessing there won’t be much of value to find though.
