What is wrong with it? Not every event that's targeted at children implies fucking them. If some guys from Fedi organized some Plan 9 themed event for children, it won't instantly make us pedos, right?

It’s a pretty good crime... 
 @kravietz 🦇 
Oh, I'm a fan of Eastern European shows, including Polish ones of course. I usually prefer darker stuff though: Wataha, Belfer, Pakt… Wataha is simply amazing — it has so many unusual sides to it, even some mysticism gets thrown in 😅
This reminds me that I have at last found the third season of it, I'll probably rewatch it whole after finishing UV.
Ultraviolet is good! TBH mid first season I wasn't sure if I'm up to the second one, but in the end I got hooked.
There is this site, cinemaz.to, where you can find torrents for European shows and hard to find old movies. I'm not too much into Bittorent, this site is the only reason I have my seedbox running 24/7. UV, Wataha and Pakt are of course big names, produced in cooperation with and for international companies like Netflix and HBO, sometimes by international teams even, but they also have much less know stuff, produced mostly for internal markets — and it's simply amazing, those are done without making it more accessible to foreign viewers in mind, you can often see what people really live like, it's like a window to another world!
Contemporary Polish movies are good too, even less artsy more accessible ones, like Kler, The Hater (don't remember its original name) or Bogowie to name a few. Not sure if they are known outside Poland, but these ones have excellent stories and are also good from, so to say, production value, visual point of view.

I'm watching this Polish TV show, Ultraviolet, which takes place in the city of Lodz. They have a stela with statue of Tadeusz Kosciuszko on top of it and the show often uses it as an intermission between scenes. In one of those there are a unicorn horn and a shiny cape on it.
The tone of the show isn't overly serious so it doesn't stand out much, but I still think that it's very funny :marseyemojismilemoutheyes:

My family and a lot of friends got onto Matix relatively easily. Telegram is the most popular IM I think, or maybe WhatsApp — but truth is, most of those who are even remotely privacy-conscious don't trust either.
And the fact that you can really go to prison for saying something online — no one monitors all the bullshit people post online of course, but the one winning the "golden ticket" might always happen to be you. And this definitely facilitates the adoption of IMs that are not Telegram.
Telegram is still a great source of news, but if you are more paranoid than average joe and still want to discuss things, Matrix looks like a good alternative.

Do you still have your Poco X3 Pro, or am I confusing you for somebody else? :marseyhmm: 
I have mine and in addition to different flavours of Android it can also run Sailfish and Ubuntu Touch with Halium/Hybris compatibility layer — they both still require some Android firmware to be installed as they use some low-level Android services co communicate with certain hardware, but otherwise both work natively. Battery life is significantly shorter — by that I mean it's nothing compared to that: https://breloma.m0xee.net/notice/AaMNrF7DumoWqX6Z8a
But both can easily last through a day even being actively used.
There's even a Debian variant based on Hybris — Droidian, it also mostly works. There are a few rough edges here and there, but you can make voice calls and use mobile data without any issues, and you can use "mainstream" Phosh UI with it.
In Sailfish and Ubuntu touch even cameras work and you can even shoot videos — it's nothing exceptional as they don't have advanced post-processing that Android camera apps have, but there is nothing bad about them either, for most cases they'd be sufficient.
And if any need for Android apps arises — it can easily be done with F-Droid. I didn't test those nasty banking apps, but everything I've thrown at it worked perfectly — Firefox Mobile and Element, complete with video calls.
Having something like postmarket OS would be even better, but mainline kernels don't work on it, for that you can get old Poco F1 — it's hardware shows its age already, but it's actually usable with PMOS: https://drewdevault.com/2022/08/25/pmOS-on-xiaomi-poco-f1.html

No, it's just these are the core ideas behind Inferno: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_(operating_system)
It's supposed to be highly distributed, everything is running in a VM, so you could run it using any other OS as host. So it has a lot to do with JIT.
And being developed right after Plan9, it could be considered Plan10.
Most of the interesting ideas have been reimplemented/ported back into P9 though.

The earlier you go the surgery route, the easier the operation itself might be, especially when it comes to eye surgery. Just find the one clinic/specialist you can trust and go for it.
The mother of one of one of my mother's friends couldn't make her mind up to get her cataract treated for years. My mom on the contrary, went for it straight away, got a very satisfying result. Now said mother of her friend wishes she could do it earlier too. They are both old women, in this age, if you delay it too much, it might even become too late. For you it's not the case, but it still might matter, the earlier, the better :marseyshrug:

 @154219fe 
I think C has little to do with it, the biggest problem is that while it's being considered "an open standard" by many, it's not that — there is only one major implementation and it's Google's own implementation, others have little to no interest contributing to it as it will remain Google's implementation in any case.
So having sole implementation that is used, in addition to obviously very popular Chrome itself, it's used by a lot of software. If that software has anything even remotely to do with images — why don't we add WebP support, right? So in addition to all the browsers, this shit is now everywhere.
Why the fuck down ffmpeg in my system depends of libwebp? I don't know. Does anyone of you use WebP for any other purposes except for posting it on the Web? I don't and I doubt that anyone does — it's advantages over existing formats is negligible for personal use, but it still makes sense for Google as they serve petabytes of data and even 10% makes a huge difference.
I might have digressed, but anyway — as it is used in software that is present virtually in every system and in addition to that, it's the same implementation, it makes libwebp a very attractive target for attacks. Monoculture is never good. These sole implementtion is closely studied by those, who intend to exploit it — this is where C factor might come into play.
Another problem is that Google doesn't give a fuck about how and where their library is used. Because they only care about how it's being used in Chrome — Chrome offers some means of isolation, if one tab gets compromised, others are safe. And to me it looks like that is exactly what they think: "Oh, it's not that bad, it's isolated!" And that is true, and same is true for Android. But is it isolated in ImageMagic — no, it's not. And when this vulnerability has hit the news, that is exactly what one person came up with in comments on HackerNews: let's isolate/containerize it for ffmpeg and ImageMagic too. That's insane! Nowadays it's assumed that everything is isolated/containerized — but in reality it's not. And it shouldn't be!

Doesn't Nim toolchain just convert Nim source into C source and then compiles it with a general-purpose C-compiler (utilizing its optimizations)? Basically making it a glorified preprocessor.
