- Comment on China’s push for chip independence continues with its first RISC-V server CPU 6 hours ago:
Fine, they’ve made a processor, but until I have an idea of how well tested and secure it is, I’m not running anything on it. I don’t mean in a “Oh China, scary!” way but just because it’s an unknown brand with no track record.
Making something the works most of the time is one thing. Making something bulletproof is another.
…and they’re positioning this for servers.

How many shell companies between you and the government are necessary to make someone “not working for the Russian state”?

Gitea is where Forgejo forked from.

Ironically the US is more likely to drop the sanctions before Germany, where Codeberg is based.
- Comment on Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
I believe some people have been ordered to archive the chat so that it can be presented to Congress in the future. Trouble is, looking at the screenshots it’s already gone as they had the message lifetime set to a week.
I wonder if this will be seen as destroying evidence .

I suspect you’re still negative. There’s so nasty stuff that’s going to get released and you’re already one set a construction/mining costs in the hole.

- Comment on Europe bets on RISC-V for homegrown supercomputing platform 3 weeks ago:
Yes, yes and yes, but it’ll take a while. It’s a six year project overall.

- Comment on Having a baby? Use this one weird trick! 3 weeks ago:
That’s what a lot of countries allow. Not all though.
- Comment on Having a baby? Use this one weird trick! 3 weeks ago:
That’s fine and is what most European countries have. What they have is minimum levels to say that a parent is resident (e.g. over a couple of years of a legal status). This is to avoid pregnant women doing exactly what the OP suggests. Make journeys last minute just to get their child a different nationality.
- Comment on TSMC and Trump announce $100 billion investment in the US, including three fabs 4 weeks ago:
I doubt Trump will be alive when those fabs come online. It takes years. In the meantime he’ll place tariffs on technology imports without having the alternative domestic production.
- Comment on People who say water doesn't help after eating piment are just wrong 5 weeks ago:
Something sweet (acidic) will break it down too. I find fruit juice or a soft drink will work better for me than milk.
- Comment on France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU. 5 weeks ago:
There’s been been bills at the EU level, but they’ve been defeated. I think individual countries introduced their own bills if they were supporters of the EU one.

Personally I keep a copy of chromium around just for Google meet. Everything else is on Firefox.
- Comment on I love the future. 5 weeks ago:
I wish people understood the differences between types of vaccines more. I despise the “vaccines good” Vs “vaccines bad” thinking. Each of them are separate treatments and like any medication have pros/cons for each individual recieving them. I think a lot of people learn about Jenner and the smallpox vaccine and assume all other vaccines work the same way.
- Comment on Watch: A real-life flying car takes to the skies 5 weeks ago:
I’ve seen plenty too. They fly over sometimes. I believe they are called “helicopters”.
- Comment on China renewables capacity additions soared in 2023, growing more than four times faster than the G7 5 weeks ago:
This is the important graph from the Carbon budget presentation. The difference between USA and China is about 1.5 Billion tons of CO2.
That news story on the US military cites a report with this graph in it. The total emission of the whole DoD is 60 million tons of CO2.
It doesn’t make a dent.
- Comment on China renewables capacity additions soared in 2023, growing more than four times faster than the G7 1 month ago:
- Where in the world it is deployed doesn’t matter. It would still be US emissions.
- You were saying it wasn’t an apples to apples comparison. How we correct the two sides of the equation shouldn’t really matter.
- I’m going to need evidence that the our world in data plots don’t include the US military anyway.
- The vast majority of global CO2 emissions are coal. I’m not aware of coal power being used much in the military.
In the next year or two China will take second place for total historic CO2 emissions, taking that place over from Europe. It’s emissions per capital overtook Europe several years ago and it has 6x the people. If the rest of the world hits zero tomorrow, Chinas emissions are still too high.

You’re saying china woul also be going down if you also exempted their military?
Errrr, no!

Europe and US CO2 emissions are dropping. The charts are in the comments here. China’s are skyrocketing, as are India’s.
- Comment on Lessons for Britain from Milton Keynes 1 month ago:
I don’t understand why LAs don’t understand that you pay for the parking space by having a thriving town centre. Making wandering around the shops an expensive expedition means people only come when they have a specific reason to.
Low footfall kills shops, and kills towns, so don’t make parking a money making scheme. Size it appropriately for the town, make it free, and maintain it. That’s it.

In his case.

Signal is person to person messaging with groups on the side (ala WhatsApp)
Matrix is groups with person to person on the side (ala Discord)
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service 1 month ago:
He wants to speak freely, but he doesn’t want to afford anyone else the same right.
It’s not an uncommon stance, but it’s a hypocritical one.
