Didn't exactly love Disturbed, but signing an Israeli artillery shell? Seriously, David?

Damn, making a whole video full of excuses for Thiel-backed Eric Weinstein, and going as far as removing the article criticising his "Geometric Unity" theory from her own blog, all for the love of the game? Not sure of it's any better than straight up being sponsored tbh.

The Budapest Memorandum was initially signed by Ukarine, Russia, United States and United Kingdom, "assuring" the security of Ukraine in exchange for giving up their nuclear arsenal. But afaik it doesn't really imply any legal obligations. I assume that the new agreement would involve more concrete conditions and responsibilities.

  1. Russia started employing remote controlled geran/shahed drones with connection implemented via Starlink relatively recently. The initial stopgap fix was to shut off connection at speeds over 90km/h.
  2. Ukraine had to compile the database of serial numbers (or whatever identifiers they use) of all Starlink units they have to whitelist them and there was pushback from the people on the frontlines who said that reporting ownership of their Starlink terminal may result in their commanders "redistributing" said terminal away from them, so it took time to make the whitelists happen.

The biggest gripe for me is completely disabling MMB copy-paste functionality and instead enabling autoscroll everywhere. Couldn't achieve this in CachyOS, except for the browsers and maybe a few Electron-based applications.

Holding MMB to scroll like a touch screen drag also breaks canvas panning on MMB in Krita, so I had to disable it.

Basically, MMB behavior in CachyOS is really unappealing to a Windows user, but it seems to be baked into the system.

Bandcamp has "Bandcamp Fridays" when 100% of the sales go to the artists. The next ones are on October 3rd and December 5th.

From what I've noticed, with AI companies, it's usually not "annual" but "annualized", which is just an estimate. And it doesn't seem like there are any rules to calculating that estimate, you can just grab the best 30-day period of operation, multiply it by 12 and claim millions in annualized revenue. And then they usually just sell to someone based on this estimation, since it's almost never profitable to build something on top of existing infrastructure of the main players in this market and maintaining your own is just not feasible.

It's not AI, the shopped in cops are from a picture taken during the 2019 protests in Moscow caused by the violations in the Moscow City Duma Elections. Man in striped shirt detained at a protest
