I don't know to what degree this is known to people outside Europe, but has been on the news over here for the last few months:

> drones aren’t just buzzing airports. They’re systematically surveilling military installations—often during sensitive operations

Now, if you live in the US or anywhere else outside Europe - please pause for a moment and see how it makes you feel to imagine having Russian drones hover over your military installations regularly, or other important places of your public infrastructure.

Of course the Russians will do this we helped Ukrainians attack the Russian nuclear fleet with drones they are most definitely organising some payback actions.

Be glad stuff isn't exploding yet, we are at war with Russia. Did people expect no damage would happen inside Europe?

That’s ridiculous. Space is the least nation-state-dependent place to do computing in existence.

All proposed space computing has an incredibly short orbital lifespan (less than 5y).

Every single space launch capable rocket provider in the world is financially, regulatorily, and militarily joined at the hip to a single government. No launches are taking place without that government’s say-so.

Also, space infrastructure is incredibly vulnerable to attack by nation-states as many others in this thread have pointed out.

That really depends on the cost asymmetry between building + launching sats being cheaper or more expensive than taking down all those sats.

It probably shouldn't be so hard to find military application for more compute in space. Especially give the global surveillance and communication networks like starlink and intelligence sats.

What better way to cover up such space compute capabilities than the AI madness.

There is no sense in which a platform owned by a company which enthusiastically aided a genocide could be termed "woke."

That's why its called woke/rainbow imperialism.

Is Hokkaido defensible? Once China solves the Taiwan problem they're going to turn their sights on Korea and Japan.

It depends what japan and korea will do to piss of China just to please their far away masters.

Pikuma.com writes a software renderer pretty much from scratch with all the necessary math and explanations in a very pedagogical way. Highly recommend it

I can highly recommend this course, i finished it. It's one of those code katas to learn a new language with a bit like Raytracing in one weekend.

I can confirm I finished RDR2 in story mode in Bazzite, zero issues. Never played the multiplayer part, though.

dragonelite · a month ago

Story mode is good enough for me

I recently had my Framework Desktop delivered. I didn't plan on using it for gaming, but I figured I should at least try. My experience thus far:

    * I installed Fedora 43 and it (totally unsurprisingly) worked great.
    * I installed Steam from Fedora's software app, and that worked great as well.
    * I installed Cyberpunk 2077 from Steam, and it just... worked.

Big thanks to Valve for making this as smooth as it was. I was able to go from no operating system to Cyberpunk running with zero terminals open or configs tweaked.

I later got a hankering to play Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. This time, the game would not work and Steam wasn't really forthcoming with showing logs. I figured out how to see the logs, and then did what you do these days - I showed the logs to an AI. The problem, slightly ironically, with MD is that it has a Linux build and Steam was trying to run that thing by default. The Linux build (totally unsurprisingly) had all kinds of version issues with libraries. The resolution there was just to tell Steam to run the Windows build instead and that worked great.

I wiped windows 10 from desktop. Installed cachyos and steam Installed path of exile 2

and it worked surprisingly, also i see people joking about how win32 is the only stable api on linux xD. Also heard red dead redemption 2 also works well on linux that might be the next game i will check out.

This is a lesson every western European nation should learn and learn them quickly or else they won't make it.
