The last thread hit 300 posts, so here's a third installment.
Sadly I don't have an oddity to share, but I wanted to make sure there was a thread present when someone did.
Sadly, even if he did he's not the type to take away the worst offenders' Xitter licenses.
Le gasp! It didn't infect him with autism, male pattern baldness, or 5G!? Unimaginable!
Nothing odd about that, to be honest.
Anime may make you think otherwise, but Japan is deeply socially conservative.
Posted here, rather than politics, because I think it will be entirely uncontroversial here:
SBF repeatedly lied to get out of “supervillain” prison term, new FTX CEO alleges
Sam Bankman-Fried being a liar is hardly news. But I wanted to draw your attention to this bit:
Quote:According to Ray, "Bankman-Fried continues to live a life of delusion." While Ray's team continues to work to recover funds lost, which has been estimated around $10 billion, the total amount of stakeholder claims filed is $23.6 quintillion dollars.
"One quintillion is one billion billions," Ray told Kaplan. "It is the number 1 followed by 18 zeros. The task of addressing filed claims and reducing them to their proper and 'allowed' amount is monumental. Mr. Bankman-Fried assumes this is a breeze. He is wrong, very wrong."
$23 quintillion? Those crypto bros are throwing around Magrathea money. Easily enough money to buy Earth outright.

Looks like Bankman-Fried isn't the only one living a life of delusion.

Oh dear.
Fortunately this was caught soon enough to only affect Fedora Rawhide, Kali and a Debian release. Or - basically - nothing that's actually (or should be) in production.
Yeah it was one month from making it into an Ubuntu LTS from that Debian release. We all got very lucky, since this was a long-term attack. Either the guy was planted by a government, or co-opted by a government. The attack needed a secret key to work, too.
Cue the hand-wringing about how open-source development doesn't give individuals enough support; just like the thoughts and prayers we offer school shootings, it should have the same effect.
Exactly no one should be surprised if said larger study confirms the results, however.

FAA now requires reentry vehicles to get licensed before launch
Quote:Last year, Varda's W-1, based on a Rocket Lab Photon satellite bus, was launched into orbit. While the FAA gave permission for the launch, it did not give authorization for the capsule to return to the US.
