To whom? I just checked, today alone were 20 artists played.

You don’t have to be perfect with this. Just pick someone who made a new album you loved; ideally someone who actually needs the money. And you can always buy vinyl, merch, or a digital album instead of just donating.

I’d rather not use flatpack, but I really should figure out better sandboxing. Not just for games, but for supply chain attacks, etc.

It’s kind of nuts that a game has access to my browser profile and all sorts of other stuff in ~.

Neither because they probably aren’t stupid:

<PackageReference Include="Duende.IdentityModel.OidcClient" Version="6.0.1" />

Because it wasn’t obvious to me from the article, and I was trying to figure out whose sovereign tech fund it is:

The Sovereign Tech Agency is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation and is a subsidiary of SPRIND, the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation.

For me the scariest thing someone could do on my pc is exfiltrate all the data from my home directory which is readable by my user account.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but that’s harm to me without root access.

Still team Emacs. We’re a team because we use elisp, not because of something trivial like how our text editors work.

This is a good article because it immediately made me feel stupid for not knowing about O_PATH.

I really need to figure out a better sandboxing method for shells. It’s crazy to be things where my keys, browser data, shell history are all accessible.

I do try to use firejail where possible, but it’s quite cumbersome. Every so often I look for tools to help with this, but everything is oriented around making a specific program (e.g. Firefox, steam) work.

Unreal Tournament is an arena first-person shooter, with head-to-head multiplayer deathmatches being the primary focus of the game.

Those are two terrible examples to use for single player games.

My guess is what they really meant was ‘single-purchase’.

First of all, fuck them.

Secondly, thank you for working on this app. I know Roku is a bit of a liability, and I’ll eventually have to move to something open source, but it’s been my main media player for a couple of years and I’ve been very happy with it. o7

Hang on, is a sphere just a torus that poops out it’s mouth?

Yes, and you can do the same thing to your child’s non-root account. The point of the California law is to allow admins (parents) to do that.

Every app does not need to check your birth date. An app will be able to query if the user is within one of a few broad ranges of age (e.g. under 18), but an app only has to do that if it needs to comply with some other legislation.

The California law essentially allows a parent to create a child account on a device and gives a way for apps to query it.

I’m not sure what PH is asking for, but it doesn’t sound like the same thing.

List of things I buy the instant they will take my money. Also, grapheneos phone.

When buying a laptop in 2026, you really need to consider how easy it’s going to be to keep it running with parts you’ve scavenged from other road-warriors.

I don’t think you’re wrong to consider this a privacy problem, but lots of people happily stream their gameplay publicly, so not everyone’s going to have the same expectation of privacy.

Probably like $10k each, or zero if you can get them to go to your pedo island.

I just finished Normal People, which was my first Sally Rooney book. I loved it, but I wouldn’t say it had a lot of political theory, just light commentary by the characters. I take it you recommend Beautiful World?

I’m currently reading The Bricks That Built the Houses by Kae Tempest. It might be a good candidate, but I’m not far enough through to really recommend it yet.

Some that come to mind:

• Han Kang - We Do Not Part or Human Acts
• Michael Ondaatje - In the Skin of a Lion or Anil’s Ghost
• James Baldwin - Another Country
