The JJ lens flare then made it into DISCO although I think they toned it down a bit for SNW. I checked out of SFA after 3 episodes so I don't know if they continued to be flare happy there.

What do you need/use that you find in modern editors that you can't get in something like Emacs? While there are AI integrations for Emacs they are all optional.

Wait what, what did Phlox do?

Mine are all GPLv3 or forks of other repos and they are listed. I'm sanguine because the license allows for study and if it's good enough for humans I don't see why it's not for clankers.

I found out enjoyable enough to watch but mostly for the ambience and the pretty battles. Maybe I'm pre-spoiled because I know roughly what's coming.

I suspect it's because uncontrolled deer can wreak havoc on an ecosystem and we've driven out/killed most of their natural predators.

Fixed typo

The evidence on rent controls is mixed. I'd much rather councils built more good quality social housing to compete with the shoddy priced private sector.

Then hopefully the bad houses can be returned to the market for renovation and those looking to get on the housing ladder.

Smotrich and Ben-Gvir are definitely extremist arseholes but I don't think they represent the mainstream opinion. Unfortunately we'll have to wait for the next set of elections to see if a government can be formed that doesn't rely on them to exist.

Israel may be less than 80 years old but there have been Jewish people's living in the region for millennia. They even predate Christians and Muslims.

Practically though once you start having multiple generations of people growing up in the area just deporting everyone becomes impossible. The state is ~10 million people. Where would they all go?

The solution has to be finding an accommodation that allows everyone in the area to live in peace. Or they can just keep trying to genocide each other and see how that works out but I think that's just going to result in even more misery all round.

I'm not sure I'd describe a state with nearly 30% non-Jewish citizens as an ethnostate. Jews in other middle eastern states don't often have the same rights as their fellow citizens.

I mean scientists have been going on about global warming for some time now and no one seemed to listen to them then. Not sure why they are turning to scientists now.

I was slightly exaggerating for comic effect. I do have an extractor fan on a timer which stops build ups. It's definitely not rated for human habitation but the servers are quite happy there 😉

With the recent heat waves we've been having it's nice to visit the cellar for a few minutes of cooling down. Of course I can't stay too long because of the radon.

Watching #emacsconf today I was introduced to this open source project to act as an agent between #llm's and editors.

Has anyone played with this? Any experience in how one would sandbox an agent so it doesn't do anything outside the project directory?

This is depressing. I have relatives who are adopters and it seems this sort of behaviour of social workers is endemic in the system. The support is not there and when things break down they attack the parents to bully them into continuing at risk to themselves and their other kids.

A fairly deep dive about how you can cherry pick stats to push a narrative.

Perhaps the biggest libvirt related piece of work here has been to reworking of the QMP API docs to make them easier to navigate. QMP is how libvirt probes for functionality as well as handling things like introspection of the machines and dealing with things like hotplug.

Post Office paid £600m to continue using Horizon despite its broken state. Hopefully this should be a wake up call to government about how it goes about large software projects.

In my opinion anything written for government should come with a full license for the source code (preferably open source) so they have the ability to change suppliers if there are any issues.

For virtualization there are improvements for VirtIO, vfio and Loongarch CPU hotplug. On the emulation side additions for Arm, RiscV and even some speed ups for x86 string ops. On the documentation side a whole bunch of work has been done on QMP API to make it clearer and more navigable.

I was trying to add a Matter device from my phone but it kept saying I needed to install the companion app from the Play store even though I was in the companion app (from f-droid). I've installed the Bluetooth proxy app as well but it made note difference.

Does anyone know what's going on?

It always seemed to me that QAnon was some sort of online LARP on 4chan that got out of control and metastasized. It's left a trail of broken families and swept into the mainstream with branding and everything. After the predictions of Trump's return to power after Jan 6th it seems to have fizzled out. Did QAnon stop posting? Did their adherents just glom onto the next crazy theory? How many followers now disavow the theories of QAnon?

This is an interesting article of the fish shells journey of covering to rust which I found quite interesting. I'm especially interested because of projects I work with that are currently experimenting with rust.

The long awaited Cass report has been published looking at gender affirming care in the NHS.
