The Clovis monologue in the Destiny 2 Deep Stone Crypt. Its not really an intro to a fight and more like the mastermind behind the situation introducing itself halfway through the raid. So doesnt quite fit this post but i loved it so much so im sharing it anyways.
What do they mean by “reproducible builds” then? https://f-droid.org/en/2025/05/21/making-reproducible-builds-visible.html
On f-droid.org, the app’s metadata can include a Binaries: URL where the original developer can post their own signed releases. The build process downloads the signed release from there in order to compare it to the version that was just built on our buildserver.
Sounds a lot like reproducible builds to me…
You can also see this in practice in their regular blog posts like recently:

But we also host Element X and its fork SchildiChat Next which are not yet updated as these hit reproducibility issues that hamper determinism.
Aurora store directly pulls from googles servers so as soon as its on the play store its available on aurora.
Fdroid has a rather complicated “reproducibility” check they do. (They check that when they compile the app themselves they get the same apk file bit for bit as the original provided by the developer) So Fdroid will always be a couple days later usually.
The fastest will always be directly going to the source so either the git repository directly or using a store that pulls directly from git/release source like Obtanium https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.imranr.obtainium.fdroid/
I would always go with Fdroid as the first choice tho simply because its well tested and reliable.
Could be done but voltage regulators just burn a bunch of energy which doesnt seem very smart for a mobile device. Also if you already need a transistor for switching the LED then just picking one that can do so at 200Hz or more is gonna save you an extra part and give you much finer and easier control over dimming.
Payment processors had never had a problem with this before
Thats what i dont understand, because yes of course they have. Payment processors and banks cutting off individuals or groups for political reasons is like the oldest fucking trick in the book. The payment system oligopoly has been a ticking time bomb in the eyes of any person actually paying attention. Centralized global infrastructure will always fail, its just a question of when.
This time it was caused by some random weird anti game group, but what do you think will happen to all the US based payment systems once Trump fully manifests his hold over them?
This is insane.
Why? I am fucking sick of companies relying on private, third party companies as unneeded intermediaries for my financial transactions. Plenty of websites give you the ability to pay without them, so Valve not doing so leaves nobody at fault but Valve. They are a company, they should know that companies act in their own best interest, so if they want to prevent interference in the business model that is Steam, they should make their payment systems as independent as possible.
Valve is not a lost puppy that just happened to be run over by the truck that is payment processors. They know exactly what risks are involved and they did not care enough to prepare for them. If you make a deal with the devil then you shouldnt be surprised to get burned.
Itch.io already went and hid all adult content afaik, so we are already past the first stage even.
I think this is sort of expected with android 15. Google just hates all background processes except their own which they whitelist. I saw a bunch of changelogs for apps i use that needed patching after 15 released for calyxos.
There is also this setting (top entry) in the developer options, but thats probably not it.
Steam really needs something like this. Even the first 100k would be a great start for boosting indie devs.
Instead they do the opposite and reward the big players.
Steam actually reduces their cut as you hit certain milestones. For your first $10M in sales, they take that standard 30%. Hit the $10M mark, and their cut drops to 25% for sales between $10M and $50M. Push past $50M, and Steam only takes 20%.
Such a tragedy what bungie has become. The game would have so much potential in the right hands.
