  • Report: Marathon Delay Likely as Sony Cancels All Paid Marketing Plans

  • Maybe they can find another artist to rip off for a fresh new style.

  • I worked some place that did something similar, if not this exact thing. We answered a 20 question quiz of "do you do x, or y? Very in-depth, of course.

    It's not an "all or none" situation, but it's supposed to be used as a guideline about how to best interact with different people. Blue/green would prefer a steady, consistent approach. Red/yellow want things fast and aggressive, etc.

    What actually happened was people preening about getting the "good colors" that had traits that the company liked, and then absolutely no change at all in the culture or how we treated people anyway, regardless of results.

    It was a complete waste of time, but the execs got big wall sized color charts and pinned everyone's names to them, so I guess they enjoyed their made up work for a bit.

  • Ontario approves $15 billion plan to build small modular nuclear reactors

    Jump

  • The statement that "SMR exist because small reactors exist in nuclear vessels" is disingenuous, if not an outright lie. These reactors are small, but are not mass produced in factories and then assembled on site in a paint by numbers way that SMRs are pitched as. They are each bespoke, horrifying expense reactors that are just smaller than standard land based reactors. The designs are not "assembly line" ready at all.

    They are designed for a certain size, but also for warfare. They spare literally no expense when making them, and do things that no civilian plant should ever do. The cost per megawatt is astronomical. Just unimaginably expensive, to the point of being instant commercial dead ends. Literally none of their designs would be considered usable, even if they weren't military secrets.

    The truth of the matter is that no one on earth has a working SMR design. The US goverment dumped hundreds of millions of subsidies into them recently and the companies all failed. This 15 billion for 4 plants next to Toronto, a city Doug Ford hates, is likely a mix of vendetta and media blitz for Ontario to deflect from their minimal renewals commitment.

  • Kneecap’s Mo Chara Is on Trial for Opposing Genocide in Gaza

    Jump

  • No such videos exist. He was charged for "waving a Hezbollah flag" in a concert because they couldn't get away with arresting him for putting this on a banner:

    Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people: It is being enabled by the US government who arm and fund Israel despite their war crimes.

    Fuck Israel. Free Palestine.

    I don't know if the commentor above is misinformed or just covering for Israel's genocide.

  • Exclusive: OnlyFans owner in talks to sell to investor group at about $8 billion value, sources say

    Jump

  • Normally "revenue vs profit" would be the missing link here. You make 6 billion, but pay out 5 billion. Total net is 1 billion. Getting 8x your yearly profit for your business is a reasonable price.

    With onlyfans, they take a 20% cut, so the numbers above basically line up. They got paid 1.2 billion, and probably spent 200 million on operations as a giant video/media host.

  • It's basically on the north side of the river that is the border between the states. Think 5min drive to enter the state, another 5-10min to Portland.

  • Diplomacy often means appearing to do one thing while actually doing another.

    They smile and nod, get tariffs exemptions, then somehow never actually involve themselves in this shambles.

  • Revealed: Oregon spent funds meant for addiction services on prosecutors and police gadgets

    Jump

  • Vancouver, Washington. Its at the very south of Washington state, just a few minutes drive from the Oregon border and Portland. It's almost intentionally confusing.

    Because Washington has no state income tax but does have a high sales tax and Oregon has no sales tax, but a high income tax, its a "no taxes" hack to live and work in Vancouver, then work and shop in Oregon. Its also a dick move, as you get to Oregon across these large, expensive bridges you pay literally $0 dollars to maintain.

    You basically leech off two states resources while paying very little into their coffers.

  • Geoguesser devs opted to work with Saudi Arabia against its communities wishes. The community, who produce most of the content for the game and have full rights to it, have opted to revoke that content. By doing so, they hope to make the devs realize through economic pressure that they should opt out of this event.

    If I loan you my work and labor out of goodwill and you opt to dash that goodwill, then you lose my work and labor. I believe the ancient tomes call this "fuck around and find out."

    Seems very reasonable and straight forward.

  • Vates is pretty chill, as is clear in the article. I think your point is well said, but Vates likes the "vibe" of FOSS, and is willing to take a bit on the chin to keep that energy internally. A bit of "turn the other cheek." They also clearly enjoyed the whimsy and just straight panache of being ripped off in this manner for a while. Their company is doing well and growing rapidly from an excellent product, so I doubt the money mattered much.

    Well, even Jesus started kicking ass at one point with the money lenders. It looks like they are getting there now.

  • Air fryers cooking speed isn't because they are small, it's because they produce a large amount of heat compared to their volume. Being small makes that cheaper and easier to do.

    Toaster ovens/convection ovens can match the same affect, although most dont. Some, do.

  • Vates spun up xcp-ng off the xen hypervisor and created a great "vsphere" like management plane called xen orchestra. Its a fantastic hypervisor with vsan/built in backups/etc. With vmware self immoliating after selling to Broadcom, they are an ideal stand in for vmwares primary product. Their licensing costs are wildly reasonable, even before the vmware debacle.

    They have gone from "a guy" to a 100 person company in the last few years while sticking by the FOSS ethic entirely. You can build the project from source, or even grab a few github scripts that build it for you. They have always been open and clear about letting you build it and use it however you like.

    They know how to cut this abusive behaviour off. They are fully capable. They don't want to use those tools, legal or technical, because it goes against the spirit of FOSS, even if it's to stop someone else who is abusing the spirit of FOSS.

    Being good people, they are using "name and shame" first, and are even so kind as to leave the "name" part out for now. I expect that they may make some changes down the line if the org, and maybe others playing this same game, dont play nicer.
