Hackers (1995), admittedly it has a fairly respectable 6.2 on IMDB, but only 33% on the tomatometer.

More honorable mentions:

  • Kingdom of heaven (2005) - 40% tomatometer
  • see no evil hear no evil (1989) - 29% tomatometer

I think he just goes by Pootie now

Pretty sure Napoleon had something to do with this saying? I mean, if you don't take it as closely, you could argue Sun Tzu first came up with it.

That's my understanding. Furthermore, they had the nuclear weapons of the soviet union. Even if they could maintain them at the time, without much of the infrastructure that the soviet Union had, I think legally they were Moscow's. Moscow held the metaphorical button, if not the physical one. Similar to US nuclear weapons in Germany aren't controlled by Berlin.

That being said, I think this whole war has lead to a situation where nuclear armament is very appealing, not just to Kyiv but to many of the similar states looking on. It is again, for world peace we need less nukes in the world, for Ukraine's sovereign safety, they need (more) nukes.

Didn't have time yet to watch all of the video, but on my own GrapheneOS device, and assume especially useful on tablets, I have been using Molly for Signal messaging.

Its cool because I can use an existing account (already attached to a phone number) so the device doesn't require a SIM. The normal Signal app does not support this.

Unfortunately at the moment I am having to use "Molly" not "Molly FOSS", meaning I have some of the proprietary blobs in normal Signal app. It is currently too much hassle (for me) to setup notifications with the FOSS version.

Been playing with the one on my desk at work for the last few months. Cool device, wish it have a few more (and more accurate) ADCs. At the moment still having to use external ADCs in our solutions as the RP2040 (or RP2350 for that matter) don't have enough ADCs. The onboard STM ADCs I have found to be pretty accurate and there's usually 2 or 3 with 16 channels each.

Interesting argument. I have used both typescript and JavaScript, but I spend 99% of my time writing firmware in C, because of this I LOVE strongly typed languages, and I get kinda annoyed/paranoid when my variable COULD change type quietly so end up doing (perhaps too much) type checks etc.

I can say with surety I hate programming in both Typescript and JavaScript, but I definitely hate Typescript less because of the typing.

Having said that, I don't really like the compiled javascript that comes out of the typescript compiler, because it puts some distance between the user and the code and I am all for clarity, especially when people have to go out of their way to not run this code.

While I don’t think these numbers are particularly doctored, I have learned caution from using ourworldindata.

I believe it is largely funded by Bill Gates and so has biases to retain the status quo, as this keeps the billionaires at the top.

Of course there are no unbiased sources, but something to keep in mind.

I think you’re talking about Wake on LAN (WOL)?

Not done this from my deck, but do this from Linux machines all the time. You can easily do this from a command line, in the pacman sources there is a package called “wol”. So could just make a bash script to run it for the MAC address you want to wake. And this talks about adding a bash script to game mode.

Very small and niche change to an i2c driver, so that composite devices will work with this driver.

It’s a rarely used driver, but I found an issue with my stuff using it, so thought could spare some people the pain of figuring it out again.

6.6 is special to me because it contains my first Linux patch, woo!
