Reminder that the Gripen engine is American (General Electric), so they have power of veto over the sales of these aircraft.

GOG Galaxy needs more polish, it still feels like alpha quality software

The problem with Bluesky is that it’s essentially centralized, with all the related drawbacks.

There are 2 reason: providing protection against Sybil attacks and rewarding nodes (i.e. the “servers”). From the whitepaper you linked:

This staking system provides a defence against Sybil attacks by limiting attackers based on the amount of financial resources they have available. The staking system also achieves two other goals which further reduce the likelihood of a Sybil attack. Firstly, the need for attackers to buy or control Session Tokens to run Session Nodes creates a market feedback loop which increases the cost of acquiring sufficient tokens to run large portions of the network. That is, as the attacker buys or acquires more tokens and stakes them, removing them from the circulating supply, the supply of the Session Token is decreased while the demand from the attacker must be sustained. This causes the price of any remaining Session Tokens to increase, creating an increasing price feedback loop which correlates with the scale of the attack.

The other advantage of a staked blockchain network is that Session Nodes earn rewards for the work they do, paid as Session Tokens from the Session Node Staking Reward Pool. This system makes Session distinct from altruistic networks like Tor and I2P and instead provides an incentive linked directly with the performance of a Session Node.

EU getting serious on something? Don’t give me hope.

E2E encryption it’s not the only feature that matters. By the way, I am not promoting Telegram, I only mean that relying on US-centric infrastructure is bad because you can be disconnected away at any moment.

Telegram is still better, while not being ideal, of course. But at least its servers aren’t located in the USA.

The ideal options are decentralized/p2p, but for now they have very few users (not many less than Signal, to be fair).

The difference is that Russia didn’t have dozens of military bases in Ukraine, nor was its digital infrastructure provided by Russian companies, nor did its military rely extensively on Russian materials. Meanwhile, this is the case with Europe and the USA, and the sad reality is that Americans have so much leverage that they can do everything they want with Europe.

I don’t follow the reasoning here…

This “rule-based world” doesn’t exist, and it never existed. An acceptable international order can only be guaranteed by an equilibrated balance of might between the different powers.

But no achievements and no cloud saves…

This year I switched to Linux and to playing on GoG (a Polish company) exclusively.

I would do the same, but GoG support for Linux is so bad :(

I think there will be more collaboration regarding protocols between Gnome, KDE and Sway, but one single implementation? Hardly.

Lol, no. Wlroots stuff doesn’t work on Sway and vice versa, then there’s a few extra limited-scope imlementations with the same problem and Weston is reference only.

Sway is based on Wlroots. No way Wlroots stuff doesn’t work on Sway.

We need digital euro. There are advances, but it’s still going too slow.

We have Darling !

If only they would add multiplayer to Ravenfield…

This CEO is primarily concerned with his company’s interests

Questo è il punto chiave, il ponte sospeso sullo stretto è impossibile per motivi strutturali.

L’alternativa logica sarebbe un ponte sommerso in acqua (detto anche ponte di Archimede), ma è stata scarsamente presa in considerazione

In GNOME you choose Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal.
In KDE you choose K Menu -> System -> Terminal; in Xfce you choose Xfce Menu -> System -> Terminal. Wherever it’s located, you can almost certainly find a terminal program.

Mi sembra che serva un piccolo aggiornamento alla guida…
