@Max009732090717 @pgssn_ @CachyOS @FrameworkPuter People never change but they do act different under different conditions, and there is a lot of rage against the machine with most of the world not even caring enough to properly sanction a nation acting evil.

@__tim @pgssn_ @CachyOS @FrameworkPuter WTF happened to the internet? Nowadays people on internet sling insults when they just need to provide context? Before folks just wanted to be helpful to others

We’ve had access to an engineering sample of the new Framework Laptop 13 Pro for about a month ahead of the announcement, and our biggest takeaway is this: it finally feels like a genuinely premium Framework. The first thing that stood out to us was the build quality. We (1/8)

@brave Nice! Recently videos started double playing audio on X can that get fixed?

Brave for Android has a new privacy tool: the Shred button! Tap this button to instantly delete site data that can be used to track you across visits.

@pgssn_ @CachyOS @FrameworkPuter Y i dumb. Thanks for the details; I guess I'll stick with Arch. Firefox on F-Droid also has a Russian maintainer so I'm sticking with Brave there.

@__tim @CachyOS @FrameworkPuter R u dumb? cachyos.org/about founder and team from russia

@pgssn_ @CachyOS @FrameworkPuter Neither of these corporations seem to have anything to do with Russia, and prevent shipping to that country so what are you talking about?

@ClaudioOmbrella @chribjel @CodysDoor @Tesla Update while in use is a Linux feature (not Apple or Microsoft). While Tesla is using Linux they don't use initrd (like Alma, Debian, Fedora, Arch), or A/B partitions (like Google Pixel). Maybe they want to take the opportunity for hardware testing.

@__tim @chribjel @CodysDoor @Tesla You must have some wonderful devices I don’t know: when I update any computer in my office, Mac or Windows, they are unavailable for more than 5 seconds. Same for iPhone and iPad. Tesla updates firmware on ECU with strict dependency and cryptographic signatures must be verified.

@ClaudioOmbrella @chribjel @CodysDoor @Tesla That's not correct; my phone, laptop, and servers all update while they are being used. kexec or a 5 second reboot is all that's needed.

@chribjel @CodysDoor @Tesla The same thing that happens when you are updating your phone, tablet or computer. If something cannot wait 35 minutes, you will need to call your local emergency services.

@Alaouicapital @justalexoki Digital rights management circumvention.

@justalexoki How is blocking ads supposed to be Illegal??

look i love brave and ad blocking and all that but surely this must be illegal somehow

@brave Today Brave blocked its own "please rate me" popup.

Today's browser update (v1.88.138) contains a fix for a Chromium vulnerability found to be exploited in the wild. You may have received the automatic Brave update already. If not, you can manually update by visiting 'About Brave' from the browser's ☰ menu. The Android update is waiting on Google Play Store review and should be out shortly.

@NASAAdmin @RightFace1 @SpacecoastPix @POTUS How are there only 18 replies, with the most hype since 1967?

@RightFace1 @SpacecoastPix @POTUS You know, we have the best subject matter at NASA, so when I can, I enjoy engaging with everyone.

NASA astronauts are returning to the Moon. @POTUS took the most meaningful step forward in space since the Kennedy administration by establishing Artemis. In his second term, he signed the One Big Beautiful Bill, giving NASA the resources to execute, and now Artemis II is on the launchpad. In the days ahead, the brave crew of Artemis II will launch potentially farther into space than humans have ever gone before, nearly 250,000 miles away from Earth. Artemis III will follow in 2027, testing one or both commercial landers in low Earth orbit, followed by Artemis IV, which will put American boots back on the lunar surface - not for flags and footprints, but to stay, to build the Moon Base.

@yoemsri @chiefofautism It's not that scrutinized, more like let the users do the testing as long as it compiles. Flawless would mean no point releases.

@chiefofautism The Linux kernel part is what gets me. That’s not some neglected repo, that’s the most scrutinized code on the planet.

someone at ANTHROPIC just showed CLAUDE finding ZERO DAY vulnerabilities in a live conference demo claude has found zero day in Ghost, 50,000 stars on github, never had a critical security vulnerability in its entire, history... it found the blind SQL injection in 90 minutes, stole the admin api key, then did the exact, same thing to the linux kernel

Winter testing underway

@wongmjane Remember the time Xcode could not be used on a MacBook because the resolution was to low and the software to strict?

MacBook Neo only having 8GB of memory is unacceptable in 2026 It’s just a cheap, outdated laptop. I don’t know why anyone would buy that when this “El Capitan” computer can run five (5) Chrome tabs simultaneously (!!)

@DriveTeslaca Tesla has been the sole exception since 2014, now that there are 3 exceptions it's past time tin remove that law.

@PatrickCmtl @ZelenskyyUa @allenscobie Bunker buster get expensive in quantity, so maybe combined with distributed vs centralized infrastructure.

@ZelenskyyUa @allenscobie I would put sensible infrastructures under ground. More protection. Europe should start doing this also.

We are preparing Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council meeting to approve the strategy for the next winter: updated plans for the protection and restoration of energy facilities and critical infrastructure in cities and communities must be approved – comprehensive resilience plans for cities and regions. I discussed with Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko and NSDC Secretary Rustem Umerov the key priorities, the content of already prepared draft documents, and the work done by specific regions. Ukrainians saw and felt which cities and communities had prepared for the existing threats and which had not effectively used the time before last winter. This year, a specific list of necessary actions for each region will be approved at the NSDC level, and we will preserve and expand the effective solutions of those cities and communities that demonstrated the greatest results this winter in protecting the energy system and supporting people. We will also define specific tasks for Ukraine’s air defense system and our relevant work with partners. Ukraine will get stronger. Glory to Ukraine!

@gervaisclips One could argue on the outside for cooling, but that could be countered with heat exchangers like in bees.

It’ll eventually start getting scared of words. 😂

@XFreeze horses self-replicate; a tricycle would be a better comparison.

Bro did one Amazon delivery and paid 4 BILLION euros of taxpayer money for a "premium European delivery service" 💀 Meanwhile SpaceX launches 32 satellites for the price of a Parisian coffee and does it every other day before breakfast This is like bragging about inventing the horse after Tesla dropped the Cybertruck 😭 Imagine Amazon waiting 6 years for a company that does "one-day delivery"

@DJSnM @elonmusk @tetsuoai Obligatory episode on traction cities ...

Two days ago Elon said SpaceX is building a "self-growing city on the Moon" in under 10 years. Most people don't realize how close the engineering already is. Using the xAI API (Grok) I compiled every peer-reviewed study, mission result, and hardware spec into one document. Here's what the data actually says. The math: Elon Musk's core argument: "We can launch to the Moon every 10 days a 2-day trip. Mars is every 26 months a 6-month trip. We can iterate much faster." Starship lands ~100 metric tons per flight. At 10-20 lunar flights/year, that's 1,000-2,000 tonnes of infrastructure annually. That's enough to build a city. Construction: We already know how to build with lunar dirt. 9 validated sintering methods turn raw regolith into structural material ranging from 26 to 207 MPa compressive strength. For reference: under 1/6 g, lunar structures need a fraction of what terrestrial buildings require. China flew 34 regolith bricks on Tiangong for a full year. Returned November 2025. No cracks or structural damage. 3x standard brick strength. Power: The 14-day lunar night is the hardest engineering problem on the Moon. NASA and DOE signed an MOU in January 2026 for a nuclear reactor on the surface by 2030. The Phase 1 demo spec was 40 kW. The Phase 2 solicitation issued December 2025 calls for at least 100 kW. Both targets: under 6 tonnes, 10-year life, zero crew intervention, autonomous startup. A rover drives it to a safe distance, unreels a cable, and walks away. One of those powers a small city through every lunar night. ISRU: The Moon is 40-45% oxygen by weight. It's locked in the rock, but we know how to get it out. Molten regolith electrolysis: ~6,800 kg of hardware produces 25 t/yr of metal + 24 t/yr of oxygen. Mass payback ratio: 0.14 kg of equipment per kg of annual product. That's an industrial plant. Dust: Lunar dust is electrostatically charged, razor-sharp, and gets into everything. Apollo crews called it the worst operational hazard on the Moon. In March 2025, NASA's Electrodynamic Dust Shield was tested on the actual lunar surface during the Blue Ghost mission. Before-and-after images show regolith visibly cleared from glass and radiators. First in-situ dust removal ever demonstrated on the Moon. Most people missed this entirely. Lava tubes: The best real estate on the Moon is underground. GRAIL gravity data suggests lava tubes up to several kilometers wide may exist beneath the lunar maria. The first cave was directly confirmed by radar analysis published in 2024: the Mare Tranquillitatis pit, at least 45 meters wide with a conduit extending tens of meters further. Interior temperatures in shadowed lunar caves range from -20C to as warm as 17C, stable year-round. Zero radiation, zero micrometeorites, zero thermal cycling. A pressurized lava tube habitat doesn't need regolith shielding, doesn't need thermal control, and has virtually unlimited expansion volume. Timeline: Elon Musk said "less than 10 years." Here's what that looks like with the hardware that exists today: 2026-2028: Robotic cargo flights. 5-10 Starships pre-position 500-1,000 tonnes. Nuclear reactor. ISRU pilot plant. All before crew arrives. 2028-2029: First crew lands to a turnkey site. Monthly cargo flights continue. 20-40 people. 2030-2032: 100-200 residents. Industrial oxygen and metal production. 3D-printed campus. Propellant production begins. 2033-2035: 200-500+ people. Propellant self-sufficiency. Lava tube outpost. A functioning city. Geopolitics: China's ILRS is in active construction phase. Joint Russia-China nuclear power station planned for 2033-2035. Chang'e-7 launches this year with a PSR hopper. A Trump executive order in December called for a permanent lunar outpost by 2030. NASA Administrator Isaacman is accelerating commercial partnerships. The south pole is a strategic race, and SpaceX just entered it as a city-builder. Close: A year ago Elon Musk called the Moon "a distraction." Now it's the overriding priority. What changed isn't the destination. It's the realization that Starship's 100-tonne payload class, combined with ISRU and nuclear power, makes a self-sustaining lunar city achievable this decade, not next. The full technical reference (47 sources, 14 sections) is linked in the comment below. It's the most comprehensive single document that you will find on what it actually takes to build a permanent settlement on the Moon.
