small countries at peace! [...] again ... they are not at war.

Russia has this pattern of supporting "separatist" movements in nations where it wants to carve out some territory. Russia's neighbors should consider that they are not really at peace, but merely waiting for Russia to look in their direction.

I've got a USB SSD that I can't use, because I need to "unlock" it in a windows device first. I can't even re-partition it in linux.

Is this Bitlocker FDE? Have you tried using Dislocker?

If that doesn't work, I recommend building a gparted live USB. Once you're up and the SSD is visible, create a new partition table

Complete this step with no other changes. This shouldn't care if the partitions on the disk or encrypted, it will reset the partition table which will make the disk appear blank, as if it was never formatted. You should then be able to create any new partitions you want in the available space.

! THIS IS DESTRUCTIVE !

But if you couldn't access the encrypted partition then the data was effectively destroyed already.

One of the major selling features of the Slate is their intention to make the truck as end-user repairable as possible and publish documentation and how-to videos to support that. Whether they actually follow through remains to be seen, but if they do the Slate would be one of the least locked-in proprietary vehicles ever made.

No built-in unreplaceable head unit with bloatware or spyware or un-updatable software, no cell network or WiFi connection, no user tracking and snitching.

The lack of a built-in entertainment system computer is a good thing.

I mean... the Empire is blatantly racist and fascist, on top of being a dictatorship... plus their monarch is effectively the leader of a religious order, so there's no separation of church and state either...

The age of something has no correlation to whether or not spoiling it for someone is valid.

Eh, I don't know... if someone complained (unfacetiously) that I'd spoiled Romeo & Juliet for them I'd disregard basically everything they said after.

It will still be Obama's fault somehow.

As Sahib explained in replies on Reddit and X, Hytale is serving as the host for the crossplay session, and while block placements are translated to equivalent blocks on the Minecraft side, it seems like only the prototype's Hytale player is capable of placing new blocks. Considering he's handbuilding a bridge between two different games with their own systems and mechanics, it's not surprising that Sahib says "currently many things are Broken."

Based on this, it sounds like the Hytale server is providing map data to the Minecraft session, which is why the block placement works on the Hytale side but not the Minecraft side. He must have created some kind of translation table for block types between the engines.

You plan to get "actual progress" done all by yourself, then? You feel the need to dump on people who agree with your motives and your reasons, because why? They're not "actual progress" enough for you? They're not pure enough for you?

How about you cheer on people who are standing up against the tyranny too? no matter how "actual progress" you think their effort isn't. We're talking about parents and grandparents, not frigging Che Guevara.

Defeatists can take a walk.

I'm not sure that anyone who can't spell should be arming themselves, and they probably aren't very organized.

AI coding tools can do common, simple functions reasonably well, because there are lots of examples of those to steal from real programmers on the Internet. There is a large corpus of data to train with.

AI coding tools can't do sophisticated, specific-case solutions very well, because there aren't many examples of those for any given use case to steal from real programmers on the Internet. There is a small corpus of data to train with.

AI coding tools can't solve new problems at all, because there are no examples of those to steal from real programmers on the Internet. There is no corpus of data to train with.

AI coding tools have already ingested all of the code available on the Internet to train with. There is no more new data to feed in. AI coding tools will not get substantially better than they are now. All of the theft that could be committed has been committed, which is why the AI development companies are attempting to feed generated training material into their models. Every review of this shows that it makes the output from generative models worse rather than better.

Programming is not about writing code. That is what a manager thinks.
Programming is about solving problems. Generative AI doesn't think, so it cannot solve problems. All it can do is regurgitate material that it has previously ingested which is hopefully close-ish to the problem you're trying to solve at the moment - material which was written by a real thinking human that solved that problem (or a similar one) at some point in the past.

If you patronize a generative AI system like Claude Code, you are paying into, participating in, and complicit in, the largest example of labor theft in history.
