  • The reason there's so few is because people don't want to have to figure out beforehand whether or not they can use the payment provider they have at the store they want to go to.

    I've seen this happen multiple times especially in Japan when the barcode payment craze started. There were like 13 competing payment providers and now there are 2. Because people don't want to have to carry around 13 different types of card or payment typed and have 13 different types of payments. They want one that works everywhere.

    It's why there needs to be sovereign digital payment systems that are legally enforced.

  • This is kind of misleading, China and Japan are kind of competing to see who can launch the new generation of 600km/hr maglev trains. Both have test tracks, both have clocked at 600km/hr, both have the actual lines under construction (Shanghai to Beijing, Tokyo to Nagoya).

    Neither will likely run at 600km/hr, that's mostly just dick waving.

    Construction in Japan has slowed to a crawl and probably won't be done will 2027 at least, and the Chinese CRRC is supposed to start this year but I don't think they have any official service start dates.

  • Find out who on your block can’t walk because you’re going to have to deal with that. Who has wheelchairs? Who has fire extinguishers? Where is the available water? Do you have batteries or generators? Start assessing the routes of escape. You’re going to have to inventory your community, and that’s really what we have to start doing now.

    This feels even more disheartening combined with the news that subsequent generations get lonelier and lonelier. Are they even going to have the social ability to build local communities?

  • JAXA remains my favorite of the big three (western) space agencies to visit the facilities for.

    They have the same love and wonder for space that the NASA facilities had when they were built, but without the military undertones.

  • I don't think chain of trust and security through kernel-level access are fighting the same problem.

    Usually chain of trust is to prevent app tampering, and kernel-level access is to prevent memory tampering.

    I assume Windows is creating a new API for applications to monitor certain regions of memory for tampering without needing kernel access.

  • The problem is and has always been "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof"

    People have been twisting that to mean that anyone that isn't born to American citizen parents means that you are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

  • For those that think the response is overblown, from the thread:

    These images are intended to be a drop-in replacement for Steam Deck OS for handheld console-like gaming PCs like the Steam Deck (Lenovo Legion Go, ASUS ROG Ally, MSI Claw, and other hardware in the same space).

    These are also to be used to create gaming theater PCs, for streamlined use on a living room television.

    The issue with “just using Flatpak or a container” is that the gamescope compositor simply does not work in those situations, when paired with Steam’s Gaming Mode, as it has the same concerns as a desktop environment. There would simply be no way to serve Gaming Mode as an environment.

    As such, moving to this would essentially force Bazzite, as a project, to abandon its primary reason for existing - alienating 2/3s of their userbase. The remaining 1/3s would be served a lesser experience for a variety of more paper cut reasons, and VR is already a complex topic which would get even worse.

    It's a big deal because disallowing the native steam build would make it nearly impossible to run bazzite in a SteamOS-like experience (which accounts for 2/3s of bazzite's users)

  • In 2001 when The US authorized use of force on Al-Qaeda that, along with The 1973 war powers resolution gave the president (as in the position of president, not just Bush) unlimited ability to bomb anyone loosely associated with Al-Qaeda in perpetuity.

    It's what allowed Bush, then Obama, then Trump, and then Biden, and now Trump again, to use the military as they see fit for performing military operations against basically any state and group in the middle east.

    This is sadly likely the least impeachable thing he's done in office.
