The real genius was whoever decided to add fake typing sounds to virtual keyboards on touch screens.

Blessedly everyone around me has disabled these, I had forgotten how enraged that makes me. Even though I don't think physical keyboards bother me at all.

Was open source any more secure before LLMs became so cheap? For those same 100$ you could have a North Korean hacking your code for a whole month.


The digital Yellow Pages were replaced by streaming teleshopping.


Now that's a bleak picture of the future.


Look on the bright side; that picture respects terms limits.


Putin also respected term limits for a while, also with a sock puppet. 8 years should be plenty of time to have the Supreme Court Jesters come up with a solution. They already pardoned Steve Bannon!


Let's just be glad somebody talked him out of using nukes. For now.


That documentary is a must-watch for any Miyazaki fan. They recorded the entire creation of Ponyo, from Miyazaki's watercolors to the final released movie.

It also shows why the movie ends as abruptly as it does and why Ghibli was eventually disbanded. With Takahata gone everything was bottlenecked by Miyazaki's himself, and he was simultaneously crumbling under the pressure and refusing to let anyone else have creative input in the studio.


The only countries going to war with Iran are Israel and USA. The other countries are negotiating with Iran and reportedly paying the toll. Also, the strait has been open to Spanish tankers since two weeks ago.


> Also, the strait has been open to Spanish tankers since two weeks ago.

But no Spanish tankers have gone through so that doesn't seem to be accurate. An Iranian diplomat saying that publicly doesn't matter when the irgc continues to shoot them. The only known European aligned tanker to have gone through is this French one we are reading about here.


While there are reports that Iran has been charging a toll on some ships from "hostile" countries, there is no such report suggesting that the French, Japanese and Omani ships cited in this news report did so too.

In this particular case, it is a diplomatic and reciprocal gesture of goodwill from Iran - the French have publicly said that joint military operations to open the Strait is a bad a idea and diplomatic options need to be pursued for the same while the Japanese have confirmed that they won't be sending any minesweepers to the Strait (Japan Isn’t Sending Minesweepers to Middle East, Takaichi Says - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-12/japan-isn... ). Oman, of course, has been the mediator in the early US-Iran negotiations, and has publicly said Iran cannot be blamed for the US-Israel attacks ('This war is not of their making,' Omani foreign minister says of Iran - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/war-not-their-making-oman... ) as it had accepted a new nuclear deal with the Trump administration during the negotiations (Peace ‘within reach’ as Iran agrees no nuclear material stockpile: Oman FM - https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/28/peace-within-reach-... ). He has blamed the Trump administration for undermining negotiations and implied that they acted in bad faith.


Steam offers an distro-independent runtime for native Linux games' distribution, which is based on Flatpak [1]

[1] https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/b...


IIRC they aren't based on Flatpak, they existed even before Flatpak gained any traction. I actually do think Steam changed a few things in pressure-vessel to be more similar to Flatpak, but they mostly evolved independently.

The main reason I think they are pouring money into Flatpak is because that is the main way to install applications on SteamOS (that aren't games shipped via Steam).


It’s not based on Flatpak, it’s based on the same technology of flatpak, which is linux containers/namespaces.

It’s clickbait at best, if not ragebait.


eIDAS is about making the electronic IDs emitted by the different EU governments intercompatible, so you can use a Slovenian certificate to authenticate into the German tax system, if you want to.


I specially like the graph-looking picture with no axis, no data and no context.


The context is the text below and under it. The axis doesn’t matter, it’s the shape that does.


but not if it's entirely made up
