That any of this needed I would consider a form of social failure, a path to a future where only corporate entities can own anything.

Much respect for the hacking. Clawing back some freedom in a world determined to take it away.


The developer is "Ascensio System SIA", and they are located in Riga, Latvia.

Why the mention of Russian developers?


You mean the "US-Israel war of aggression against Iran"?

Let's not avoid assigning responsibility when it is so clear.


> Weight gain has basically happened across the whole developed world

Could it be that maybe, maybe, there is a link to this and the subject of the paper being discussed?


It's absolutely not a meaningless term, it's a classification in the Nova standard:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_classification

And regarding health risks, please ask your doctor about your consumption. You may be surprised.


Yeah, it kinda made me laugh too. I'm glad you could pull something out. I'd never heard of that Nova classification system. I'll have to read some more on it. The whole doctor thing, the more processed the food is, the less work your body has to do, which means the more available the calories are, which generally means the worse it is for you.

And usually the fats have to be processed because fat is generally not shelf-stable.


Nova is itself something that has changed a bunch over time and combines a ton of different concepts.

It is meaningless to the general population. No term is meaningless to an individual or small groups of people, obviously. That goes without saying.

Ignorance of a concept does not make it meaningless.

Truer words have never been spoken. Now set forth unto the world and transcend your ignorance to learn is meant by "meaningless". The discussion taking place will make more sense to you when you return.

By that logic all sorts of technical and scientific terms would be "meaningless".

Seems like playing semantics, to not say disingenuous, using "meaningless" to mean "unknown", when the former clearly has a negative connotation.


Most technical and scientific terms absolutely are meaningless outside of related technical and scientific communities. All terms have at least one person who sees it as meaningful else it could not fundamentally exist as a term, but clearly the context is about trying use it in contexts where the audience is the general population. There is no shared understanding of what it means in that setting, thus it is meaningless (to that audience).

I'm seeing quite a bit of request for these on my work's GitBook documentation site.

But perhaps these are developers specifically targeting these pages to feed whatever LLM they are using.

But nah, I'm sure OP doesn't know about CDNs.


Linux are also more likely to contribute bug reports and crash dumps.

Security conscious doesn't mean not getting involved with the community and helping useful projects.


Linux users contribute bug reports to projects that actually care about them and don't leave usability regressions open to decade long bikesheds. KDE is not one of those projects.

You can try running in gamescope, although in my experience Wayland has not been an issue. The few games I have that gave me problems in Wine didn't work any better when using an X11 session.

On the one hand this could be interesting for military and government looking to make sure there are no backdoors in the hardware they are using.

On the other hand, having it public makes exploits more likely since everyone can take a look.

For software this is beneficial, any fixed bug or exploit is then available to everyone and can be easily deployed.

I'm not very familiar with hardware but it seems like it would require new chips to be manufacturered to really fix any issues.


> On the other hand, having it public makes exploits more likely since everyone can take a look.

Everyone can take a look, but not everyone will spend money to produce their own. So this will improve security, not reduce it.
