Japanese diplomats told company risk officers that “you are on your own if you put significant assets in Taiwan”, said one person present at one of the conversations.

Foreign direct investment by Japanese companies — traditionally Taiwan’s third-largest source of FDI, after the EU and US — slumped 27 per cent last year to $452mn, and is down from a peak of $1.7bn in 2022.

in reply to CannonGoBoom

This thing turned out ot be overrated and useless, just like Steam itself. I lost count of how many games won't run with any proton (GE included), whereas they run just fine with my highly customized wine 10.5.

For the rest of us that aren't smart enough to customize wine

I should get this for my dad, he recently got a new computer at best buy and the geek squad told him his files were all in the cloud and sent him home. Guess who got a call the next day because "all my passwords are in a word document in some fucking cloud". Yeah that was a fun day spent setting up his computer while listening to his rant about the geek squad and "the fucking cloud".... thanks geek squad....
in reply to oppy1984

As a software engineer who values humanity has done a good bit of work with "the cloud", i think your dad has the right set of feelings towards the cloud. That fucking cloud can go get bent


Bypass paywall clean calling home


Bypass Paywall Clean -call home

Having looked at various browsers and what calls they make, I noticed on Firefox and other android browsers that when Bypass Paywall Clean is installed from main source:
gitflic.ru/project/magnolia123…

It makes calls to gitflic.ru quite often wether using a bypass website or not.

Anyone know on what the calls are about and if they are legitimate and or what telemetry is being shared?

Yep, looks like this has the data for each site and what part to remove to bypass, so it would need frequent updates.
in reply to MangoPenguin

Looks quite possible. It does connect every time you visit a site on the bypass list but not viewing other sites.

Sensible. Each company should prepare it's own risk assessment and manage the risk. Taxpayers shouldn't have to bail them out for their stupid/greedy decisions.

I appreciate that your title makes it clear that this is an old article. Certainly it's still relevant, but going into the article with knowledge of its age calibrates my mindset
in reply to pdqcp

I have purchased far more than I've ever obtained. In some cases I've double dipped and purchased multiple times.

The main issue is "can I obtain it legally and pay the original creators?" And secondary is "is this item reasonably priced and delivered in an accessible way?".

The last game I grabbed was the Sims 4 + dlc a very very long time ago. The last show i grabbed was probably an anime with fan subtitles.



Red Dead Redemption 2 "exited unexpectedly" error — Does someone has a fix for this?


Hey there, I'm trying to launch RDR2 on PC and keep getting this error message:\

So does someone knows how to fix it. I have read many forums and have watched many yt videos but nothing helped.

Oggi, 19 luglio, nel 1943, il primo bombardamento di Roma


Il primo bombardamento di Roma avvenne il 19 luglio 1943, durante la seconda guerra mondiale, ad opera di bombardieri statunitensi delle forze aeree alleate del Mediterraneo.
Il quartiere San Lorenzo fu duramente colpito dalle bombe.

Pio XII in visita alla Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano il 13 agosto 1943, in occasione del secondo bombardamento di Roma

Dopo un triennio di ipotesi intorno all'inserimento della capitale italiana nel novero degli obiettivi aerei alleati, San Lorenzo fu il quartiere più colpito dal primo bombardamento degli Alleati mai effettuato su Roma, insieme al Tiburtino, al Prenestino, al Casilino, al Labicano, al Tuscolano e al Nomentano.
Le 4.000 bombe (circa 1.060 tonnellate) sganciate sulla città provocarono circa 3.000 morti e 11.000 feriti, di cui 1.500 morti e 4.000 feriti nel solo quartiere di San Lorenzo.

Al termine del bombardamento papa Pio XII si recò a visitare le zone colpite, benedicendo le vittime sul Piazzale del Verano.

Tra i soccorritori morti (morirono ventiquattro vigili del fuoco) anche il comandante dei carabinieri generale Azolino Hazon, accorso sul posto.

YouTube app is the worst


Normally I use NewPipe on android. It's an alternative YouTube app that can play videos in the background, doesn't have ads and allows me to download videos and music.

I had the YouTube app disabled with adb on this phone for all the time I've had it. For backup there's always the browser YouTube page.

I must have done something wrong and accidentally clicked install on the YouTube app again, so it activated and was back to normal on this phone.

Holy hell is that app a terrible advertising machine. Every time I click on a YouTube video now I get sent straight to it and it always plays ads and also has text ads all over the GUI so I can't even read the channel info etc while I wait for the ads to go away.

I don't know how people deal with that it would completely make me want to stop using YouTube.

Please do yourself a favor and install NewPipe or ReVanced (I think that's the name of basically the same app but with sponsorblock additionally). Both are on f-droid.org app store as well. Less important because you can manually use NewPipe but you could also disable the YT app with adb so it disappears from your phone.




Does Ventoy not work with Limine?


Worked fine with other bootloaders, but with limine it doesn't seem to detect/show ventoy as an option, just cachyos (using cachyos)
in reply to dil

Are you trying to boot an ISO that uses limine as the bootloader with ventoy?
in reply to dblsaiko

Im trying to reinstall cachyos using the iso on the usb like ive done in the past but the iso and the ventoy usb its on dont show up as options, theres only cachyos (alresdy installed) and snapshots as the options
in reply to dil

Do you mean the USB doesn’t show up in the UEFI boot menu?
in reply to dblsaiko

I guess it doesnt detect a nonventoy (used impression) usb with the iso written to it either? A bit confused I dont mind limine but It not being able to boot from a recovery usb is a bit of an issue

NVM it did end up working off impressions and not ventoy? I think it ended up detecting my ssd which also has ventoy installed in the boot manager too, the name wasnt there before, odd

Like limine itself has no option for it, but bios wasnt showing one for my ssd or usb either, now it is after restarting a few times

Questa voce è stata modificata (2 mesi fa)
in reply to dil

To boot from external drives, you need to open your UEFI boot menu (press F11 or something like that at boot, it differs for each manufacturer). Limine is the loader installed on your hard drive that comes with your OS, it is for loading that OS.
in reply to dil

Yep very odd it wasn't showing my drives, now it is and ventoy works, I unplugged and plugged them while restarting a fee times, guess it was just some weird error, still doesn't show up in limine itself but im assuming that its not supposed to

MacOS, NextOS, BeOS, OS/2 and Solaris were all pre installed on end user devices. All except MacOS also were or became available as end user installs if you didn't want to buy it pre installed.

They weren't popular in workplaces ( except MacOS) because they all sucked in important ways compared to Windows.

There were also many alternative Office suites. MS didn't even invent the idea- they copied Borland's $99 software cost in order to compete. But again the alternatives, even if they started better, eventually fell behind Microsoft. MS was extraordinarily customer focused in those days.

Windows Powertoy apps used to come with the emails of the person who wrote it in the readme.txt. I once emailed the Microsoft developer about a feature that I thought should work but didn't ( copying across network vs local copy). I got a working beta version 3 days after emailing the developer at Microsoft.

Interesting, thank you for sharing. I'll have to read more about how things changed over time.

[Other] My Ultimate Self-hosting Setup


Hey y’all, I know getting a setup that feels “right” can be a process. We all have different goals, tech preferences, etc.

I wanted to a share my blog post walking through how I finally built a setup that I can just be happy with and use. It goes over my goals, requirements, tech choices, layout, and some specific problems I’ve resolved.

Where I’ve landed of course isn’t where everyone else will, but I hope it can serve as a good reference. I’ve really benefited from the content and software folks have freely shared, and hope I can continue that and help others.

Happy to answer questions!

If You're Still Supporting Israel In 2025, There's Something Wrong With You As A Person

It’s 2025. Israeli soldiers are telling the Israeli press that they’re being ordered to massacre starving civilians trying to obtain food from aid centers. Countless doctors have been telling the world that Israeli snipers are routinely, deliberately shooting children in the head and chest throughout the Gaza Strip. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and all the leading genocide experts and human rights authorities are saying that a genocide is being perpetrated in Gaza. The New York fucking Times just published an op-ed by a Zionist genocide scholar who’s finally admitting that it’s a genocide.

There’s no way to deny what this is anymore. If you still support Israel in the year 2025, it’s not because you don’t believe Israel is committing horrific atrocities. It’s because you believe those horrific atrocities are good, and you want to see more of them.

Not gonna lie, I feel like 2025 is way too generous. The only reason so many people are suddenly opposing Israel is because the overturn window has shifted and it is no longer popular to support Israel.
in reply to geneva_convenience

imo i wouldnt say it’s about popularity and more about israel just being unable to really hide what they’re doing anymore. now its at the point where your average apolitical normie is seeing babies get their limbs blown off on their tiktok feed.

they had a lot more plausible deniability before their genocide was being live streamed.

as long as leftists have known about how fucked up israel is, your average truly “apolitical” person only knew the israel propaganda painted about it. now they see thats not true and thats a good thing

in reply to godlessworm [comrade/them]

'Normies' have been seeing babies limbs getting blown off since 2023. They simply chose to ignore it because the public sentiment opposed it. The average person is a literal NPC who will repeat whatever the media tells them even if the video footage gets shoved in front of their eyes. I've tried it.

Even now, if you ask them if Israel has a right to exist they will answer yes. Knowing that Israel is comparable with Nazi Germany. They would tell you that Nazi Germany has a right to exist if that is what the media told them.

i think that’s pretty pessimistic towards your average person

with how alienated capitalism keeps us all from our peers, its easy to forget that you and i are also just average people.

we’re half way into 2025. gaza videos didnt really become widespread in people’s feed til about a year ago. thats when apolitical people would have started seeing this so much. the amount of turn around in just that small period of time is a good thing and being pessimistic about it or writing people off as lemmings because they were tricked by propaganda designed specifically to trick people specifically like them isn’t helping anyone. that’s just you projecting your resentment towards people, and im not saying that as an insult. its easy to resent them. dont let your resent control you tho.

in reply to godlessworm [comrade/them]

The average German was a Nazi. The average person is evil and supports genocide. It's as simple as that.
in reply to geneva_convenience

its really not as simple as that lol. you’re letting your disdain towards people personally steer your point of view.

your average person had no idea this was happening until recently and once they saw it they said it was bad.

its extremely easy to fall into your line of thinking when you don’t interact with your community and view yourself as an individual against other individuals. thats the framing capitalism has given you but its a false framing.

i can tell you for a fact; i live in a small town in georgia. 3 years ago nobody here knew shit about israel or palestinine. went to two protests in the last two months, both FULL of support for palestine. people who have passively said positive things about israel to me who didnt know better have now said they had no idea what was happening over there. that they literally didnt even know what “gaza was” until recently

sadly thats where your average person is at.

they are not as “genocide is good”.

they’re at “i heard israel was good”. sadly thats more affective than it should be.

but to just write everybody off as wrong and having these horrible opinions is just anti leftwing tbh. you will never create any sort of left wing anything if this is how you view your fellow worker. not everybody is a leftist and in fact most people think we’re fucking crazy, for the same reason they used to think israel is good. “trusted sources” on tv told them so.

In the besieged Gaza Strip, three professions have emerged as a lifeline, their practitioners heroic in their efforts to alleviate the worst of the humanitarian catastrophe that is unfolding under Israel’s constant attacks on civilians and civic infrastructure.

The rescuers, the healers, and the witnesses — civil defense responders making unimaginable sacrifices to try and save people from the rubble of bombed buildings; medical professionals fighting an impossible battle with poor supplies in hospitals; and journalists risking their lives to expose the truth — are all supporting the entire population enduring genocide and famine.

According to the Health Ministry, the Israeli military has killed at least 113 civil defense responders, around 228 journalists, and at least 1,411 medical workers since October 7, 2023.

EPA eliminates research and development office, begins layoffs


The Environmental Protection Agency said Friday it is eliminating its research and development arm and reducing agency staff by thousands of employees.

The agency’s Office of Research and Development has long provided the scientific underpinnings for EPA’s mission to protect the environment and human health. The EPA said in May it would shift its scientific expertise and research efforts to program offices that focus on major issues like air and water.
