No worries. Given the season, surely it's the recurring Bahhum bug.

Probably true. I don't see anything like that in the article, though?

So what I take away after a quick skim on xmas eve is... this is an attempt at one app for all (or big parts) of the fediverse?

I think this is the most mature and versatile one? Bookwyrm is nice for what it does, but it's only books.

Semantics. If person A is protected by privacy rights in her jurisdiction, but her data is scraped by project B from one where such rights conveniently aren't legally respected, A should still be able to expect some way of injunction.

Yeah, terrific use for a mini PC. Will some self hosters and home labbers spit bile at the thought? Probably. It's a matter of personal requirements.

Basically, like you say, most mini PCs are quiet, power efficient, and just carry that bit more oomph than a SBC.

For context, Rock Paper Shotgun is a gaming site, which is why the reviewer focuses so heavily on game performance on different mini PCs. Unsurprisingly, the answer to the title isn't an unequivocal "yes", but some of the little lunch boxes fare quite well despite their limited specs.

A more accurate title would be "Should gamers bother with mini PCs," but given their audience that would be superfluous 🙂 I think mini PC gaming will continue to be a niche interest, but there are certainly other and probably better uses for the tiny computers.

Yeah, the only threat to Big Tech is that they might sink a lot of money into training material they'd have to give away later. But releasing the material into the Public Domain is not exactly an improvement for the people whose data and work has been used without consent or payment.

"Congratulations, your rights are still being violated, but now the data is free to use for everyone".

Ah, damn. I read some advance news earlier in the month so I only skimmed this one. There goes my Fugitive 6B pipedream 🙂

Oh man, is it confirmed that it's a Second to Third Doctor regeneration? 😞

I were holding out hopes that they'd snuck in a cheeky Jo Martin cameo!

It's more than just colourisation, they recovered 16mm footage from location shoots, which gives us some of those crisp shots they've used for promo pictures.

It's pretty exciting, almost enough to ease my worries how they're going to edit a >4hrs serial down to a 90 minutes special...
