This seems very interesting. It almost looks/feels like Pythonic Go.

There's already another syntax example in the thread, but I want to point out the weirdest syntax I've seen yet: positional arguments look like posix command arguments:

   greet name/string="World" --greeting/string="Hello" -> string:
     return "$greeting $name"

   main:
     print (greet)                         // Prints Hello World.
     print (greet "Ada" --greeting="Hi")    // Prints Hi Ada.

Honestly I don't believe you, despite the desire to. IME, DDG results are even worse than Google's; I've had queries that returned enough AI generated blog spam (and I mean utterly worthless borderline nonsensical drivel) to fill the entire first page of results. Not one organic result.

Short and sweet. It's excellent that no data was lost as, smuttiness aside, AO3 has to be one of those digital Library of Alexandrias akin to Wikipedia and Stack Exchange; a highly concentrated collection of art created simply out of passion.

I do hope we get a write up.

Are you suggesting ADHD is something you can "get"?

nta but yes your spirit reading is correct. They're saying OpenBSD treats the version number as an integer, and every update adds .1. So 7.8 -> 7.9 -> 8.0, regardless of how significant or breaking the changes are.

They value freedom of speech as much as freedom of association. Nothing wrong with that.

Right on. I'll check it out, thank you!

So it's not feasible to fiddle with incoming firmware updates, even with the level of access Relapse gives? I couldn't imagine how such a thing would be implemented. A hypervisor?

This was my initial thought and a sentiment I've seen expressed elsewhere, but I think I'm missing something about how they'd implement this.

Sure, Rockstar can enforce a minimum software revision to launch the game, but couldn't some homebrew software just (a) lie about the software revision to any running game, or (b) apply any relevant software updates minus patching the kernel vuln?

It seems to me that the cat's out the bag now.

I'm not sure I understand the "minimal"/"small core" branding Pi is using. It's 450,000 SLOC and has at least a dozen direct dependencies, which I'm sure explodes into hundreds of indirect ones. It also depends on NodeJS/NPM.

During a gold rush, sell servers.

that doesn't mean it's unimpressive. it's purely a software problem, really.

That's this internet. Nothing precludes you from dropping big tech and solely engaging with the "indie web"[0][1] if you so choose. You're free to build your own website with its own RSS feed, join webrings[2] of like-minded people, and engage organically.

That feels a little cynical. I think partly up to perception: "Target" would be a badass name for a weapons company, but we all know they actually sell clothes, so it's not particularly interesting.

In tandem, we're less familiar with them, which gives them that alure. Think of Rheinmetall and you think vaguely of a hulking corporate giant encompassing metalworkers manging molten metal to men in suits pitching fully automatic anti-aircraft turrets to entire nations; think of Missouri Metalworks and you just imagine a dingy suburban factory your mate reckons he worked at once. And no doubt that's how Germans would think of Rheinmetall too.

I think companies like Tesla, IBM, Lockheed, GE, etc. have the potential to sound "cool" like Rheinmetall were they not so ingrained in Anglophone culture. We just know them all too well, so they've become boring.

At least thats how I see it :-}

Last time I tried creating a Twitter account, I couldn't even complete the sign-up flow before getting automatically banned pending giving them my phone number. After that, I went to like and follow things. My account was then banned again for suspicious activity.

- "a platform built for humans, not AI."

- "Bots are welcome. Slop gets blocked."

- "No AI buttons bolted onto every surface."

yet the entire website appears to be itself AI slop. is the codebase vibecoded too? I seem to get a "connection lost" toast notification every time the page loads despite it being a wholly static page.

your service is founding itself on a promise (forges in general are of course not a novel concept) that i feel you're failing to uphold.

While it doesn't represent modern war at all, of course, I've always enjoyed the knowledge that Australia was bombed very little during WW2 despite "neighboring" the Axis Japan simply because it was too far away and planes of the era could not reach it. The only capital city that saw aerial warfare was Darwin because it's the only one on the north coast.

I agree whole heatedly with severing ties with Yandex, but no, Europe still continues to funnel billions of Euros to Russia; €5.57B in goods (plus €7.81B in exports) and €3.63B in energy[0] in Q1 2026.

> and decide to go past the “this was mostly built by AI” part

I got that feeling just seeing the title use "native" as a synonym of "not a website".

I'm surprised by the amount of heckling this post received almost immediately! And a lack of constructive input.

I for one enjoyed the article and understand what you're getting at.

I feel this. Social media algorithms can be so complex and opaque now that I have to consciously consider what repercussions my interactions have. I have so little idea what interactions affect recommendations on e.g. Instagram that it almost feels random.

That's Go.
