Total Reload (PC) You wake up in an AI's droid body, and are quickly tasked with solving your way through the puzzle maze he's been building for millennia, with quite the lofty goal as your reward.
This is a pretty good Portal inspired FP puzzle game. Has all the things you'd expect: a disembodied "AI" talking to you, cubes, a gadgety gun, lots of rooms that require you to figure out the what the order of actions is.
Gonna get my 2 nitpicks out the way…
Seems every news portal is posting the AI video "Narrative of Victory" which supposedly was distributed by "Iran Embassy in China" on Waibo or "Iranian Media" - but no portal is linking to the original post or distribution. So far I have been unable to trace it back to an original source.
I find this deeply disturbing.

So I saw a new primary care doctor yesterday, had a really good in-person experience there.
I looked at the visit notes in the patient portal and it mentions (all the way at the bottom) that it uses some AI tool to generate the notes.
At least 10% of it is pure fabrication and never happened.

That feeling when you think your management portal must be broken because the numbers are too high and you drill down and check and no, people just sold that many tickets today.
So I'm reading the changelog for the Polish railways' Passenger's Portal app (i.e. checking what they broke), and it turns out that the developers discovered compression.
I mean, the app's been updating "dictionaries" practically every single day for years (surely available stations change frequently), and they weren't even compressed! What's next? Discovering Last-Modified and refetching only if something actually changes?!

Maybe it is time for me to go back to debian stable or some such. #Opensuse is pushing half baked solutions, which makes me sad after all those years of reliable services. On top, I don't understand this obsession for Wayland (which isn't up to speed on Desktop).
It's been a grind, but I'm finally making progress on the SaaS frontend to this whole project. My idea is it can be a portal where game communities can publish their community to advertise for new members. This will tie into the existing self-hosted Warlock framework for Linux servers and will serve as a complementary service for those groups who want to advertise, (completely optional; the self-hosted project isn't changing).
Currently the idea will be to enable this service to user…

Ok so XDG and Flatpak are working to kiss the ring on fascist laws. Maybe join the PRs and tell them to not do this?

Doctor’s office called to say the appointment I made online would take longer than 15 minutes. I am to understand that the scheduling portal doesn’t show it, but my primary care physician only has two longer slots available each day and those are booked all the way through to the end of April. Would I like to see the PA instead or reschedule?
Me: Can we break it up? Most topics are not urgent.
Them: yes but you’re only to talk about this one thing.

The discussion around "age verification" in systemd/XDG has been largely focused against the California law. But honestly, there's a much deeper problem there.
Firstly, the data collected. The question initially asked is "are you at least 18 years old?" However, that's not the data collected. In fact, the data collected is not even the age — it's the full birth date. It's a perfect example of collecting more data than you need, and a sensitive information too, and sharing it with any application that asks.
Secondly, the extended goal of "parental controls" used as a justification to collect more data. When you think about it, you realize how bad this is: it isn't the case of asking the user about their birth date (with the assumption that a kid will enter a fake date to workaround the limitations). It is effectively a tool for *parents* to impose restrictions on their children, which means that they are more likely to enter the real date to ensure that these restrictions work. And given how popular sharenting is today, do you really think they'd come up with a fake birth date that happens to roughly match their child's age?
This is simply irresponsible.
