Steam deleted my perfectly working Arma3 2.x for Linux with no option to return it back, so I stopped to use Steam.

You can look at Ukrainian LLM Lapa for inspiration:

Best tokenizer for the Ukrainian language

Thanks to a SOTA method for tokenizer adaptation developed by Mykola Haltiuk as part of this project, it was possible to replace 80,000 tokens out of 250,000 with Ukrainian ones without loss of model quality, thus making Lapa LLM the fastest model for working with the Ukrainian language. Compared to the original Gemma 3, for working with Ukrainian, the model requires 1.5 times fewer tokens, thus performing three times fewer computations to achieve better results.

Even when you are national-state-level target, there are easier ways to grab the screen.

For local state, it's easier to just install a wireless camera and watch your screen from behind: it leaves no trace on your computer (you may spot it wireless connection, if you lucky). Moreover, they are more interested in your communication devices (your smartphone) than in your desktop.

Foreign states may exploit your notebook builtin "anti-theft" system, Intel Management Engine ("intel" is very good name for a CPU ;-), bugs in NVidia firmware (fonts, OpenGL, etc), bugs in hardware (create a second display to mirror image from primary display to, even when physical display is not attached, for example), etc.

However, I saw that my Firefox window was spied by Chromium window few years ago (I recorded it on Youtube), so this problem in X11 is real.

Lutein helps me.

Can this UEFI firmware be ported to other ARM devices, e.g. phones, tablets, books?

Why not just a quick duel?

Lies and other harmful speech are against freedom of speech.

I wish, we will have something like Fil-C as an option for unsafe Rust.

It works properly again after post on HN. :-/

A little green dot? No, it's a small fraction of SafeDot functionality. I'm interested in audible notification when camera, mic, or gps is accessed. Currently, I cannot make it work on GOS (maybe, may phone is hacked).

Any info on recent ban of SafeDot by Android and GOS? Any plans to implement SafeDot as an official GOS app?

Users are trying to solve their own problems.

Graphic artists are creating graphics editors (Gimp, Krita, Blender, ComfyUI, etc.) with tons of options.

Earlier free software has/had tons of free artwork: icons, themes, skins, mods. I had few dozens window border skins and GUI themes for Gnome 1.x, for example. gnome-look.org has 1.5k themes for GTk3/4, but I'm OK with stock theme now, because 90% of the time I see browser or console.

No.

Few Ukrainians joined Nazi, few Jews joined Nazi, whole 3 million Russian Army joined Nazi. :-/

On 02.04.2008, Russian State Duma confirmed that 7 million (adults and unknown number of children) died because of artificial starvation in 1932-1934 (Holodomor). Majority of them are Ukrainians. However, Russian Federation refuses to confirm the starvation and FSB agents jail or kill everybody who spreads information about Holodomor. If you are from RF - beware.

Many jews were communists. Communists killed millions in those countries.

Moreover, Germans decided that Slavs are untermensch because of Holodomor henocide of Ukrainians ([Little] Russians) by Russians (Great Russians). The confusion between [Little] Russians (now Ukrainians) and Great Russians (now Russians) caused Germans to think that Russians performed genocide of their own nation, killed millions of their own mothers and children, which is biggest sin in Germany (and many other nations).

In recent news: Japanese scientists produce plastic which dissolves in seawater within 2 hours.

Linux distributions are built this way. Distro maintainers selects libraries and versions to include, to create solid foundation for apps.

Create a new library, name it as "Standard library", include and reexport al those libraries, profit.

These problems are easy to solve in practice: just put the candle into a lantern.

Try it: it's easy. Use a flashlight from your phone instead of a candle, then project light to a wall, then put your palm in the front of the light.

Make marks on the thermometer at 0 and 100 degrees C, then project light from a candle to a wall to see these marks with say 5x magnification. Now project marks from the 128 mark ruler to the same wall and align marks from both, then place marks on the thermometer with 5x better accuracy.

100 + 28 degrees are not harder to mark than 64, and then aim 0 and 100 properly. :-/

Many English languages use ';' to end statements instead of '.'.

Many European languages use '.' to end statements, Prolog (France) for example, but use ';' to separate arguments.

Yep, it's an example of whataboutism.

Religion shapes morale. Morale shapes religion. They are not equal, but they influence each other.

Moreover, human actions is heavily influenced by circumstances. With low birth rate, it's better to protect children. With high birth rate, it's OK to sacrifice some young man to free some space, like farmers do for their crops, thus we see different messages in different circumstances even in countries with same religion and morale.

Moreover, humans are good at placing arbitrary boundaries, for example Catholics are OK to kill other nations en masse because "they are not Catholics, so they have no soul, so they are not humans, they are like pigs". Some versions of Islam even encourages holy war against non-Muslims. Some other minor religions are even promoting cannibalism. Even atheists are promoting mass killings, for example communists want to kill all rich(-ier than them).

So, while Christianity promotes peace, latest 2 world wars and current greatest war since WWII, are between Christians. Guess who will use nuclear weapon for second time in the history? North Korea? Iran? China? USA? Britain? Russia? Ukraine?

Israel is not a state with Christian morale, they are not a part of the "Western world". They have their own religion and morale, which are older than Christianity. Only part of holy books are shared between two.

There is official count of number of civilians murdered by Soviets in 1932-1934 by hunger (Holodomor) - 7 millions as declared by Russian Duma on 02.04.2008.

However, these are adults only, because children deaths are not counted at that time. With school-age children, for which records are stored, number raises to 10.5 million. Number of under school age children died because of artificial hunger in 1932-1934 is still unknown.

I hope, this will help to calculate number of deaths in Iraq.
