From ground news summary:

• Brazilian police arrested a man and a teenager on May 3, 2025, foiling a bomb plot targeting Lady Gaga’s concert in Rio de Janeiro.
• Authorities uncovered the plot after identifying an online group spreading hate speech, radicalizing teenagers, and encouraging self-harm.
• Authorities conducted raids at nine sites across multiple Brazilian states such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, confiscating electronic equipment and other items connected to the planned bombing.
• Around 2.1 million people attended the free concert on Copacabana Beach, which aimed to boost the local economy and drew 500,000 tourists.
• The arrests prevented a potentially large-scale attack involving improvised explosives, highlighting authorities’ efforts against extremist online networks.

What the ground news summary did not describe that most publications seem to list are:

• The Brazilian federal police was already investigating other groups like this
• Authorities suspect the group was targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
• The arrested teenager was in possession of child sexual abuse material, and was charged on that.
• Another member of the group (not sure if he was charged) had religious motivations.

Yeah, the admin team of .ca is great. They are organized, open to input and always take the initiative (.ca toughened up on disinformation this election cycle).

Yeah, but our …

It was not supposed to be a negative critic of our instance/admins, on the contrary.

I was replying to the message who said this kind of trolling would be removed and banned right away in any instance, which is not true, I was even surprised that hexbear banned the troll just for that post…

But I just looked, the xiaohongshu2 was not banned for the post, xiaohongshu2 was banned for impersonating another user in bad faith. Hexbears took the post quite well, and the text is still there for people to read.

There are a few .world doing that non ironically. In .ca they always create their own communities. And they usually stay around unless they break the instance rules too many times.

As far as I know, they only get downvotes, nothing more.

Depends on the threat model and how long do you need the data.

Worked on a place long ago, that anything they needed to save offline from more than a few decades where stored in microfilm, the expectancy there where they would last 80 to 100 years.

Anything else was pretty much tape.

You also take in account the technology avaiability. The more complex is to use, harder will it be to reproduce in the future. Even with tapes, you might want to copy the data to another tape/recorder every decade or two, to keep it on par with the technology.

Not sure if it is a scam, like people are claiming (on the post, and steam reviews). I feel like it is more like a lack of experience and knowledge in the game business than any intentional wrongdoing.

There are definitely problems with the game, and the pace of updates and fixes has been lacking since it first appeared on Steam.

After watching the dev Stream in 2023, it seems like he loves what he is doing and probably will see this through, but he really struggles with basic concepts of game making - that might have changed since then.

During a programming session, he was asking everything to an AI chatbot and copying the result into the code, then suffering for a while back and fort with the bot because the code did not work as he intended, while the chat was sending the documentation page of the engine and other help that would have solved his issues.

Unless there is a x86 to ARM translation layer on Linux that I’m not aware of?

It appears Valve is working on Proton for arm64, I was wondering if this is to attend the mobile market, a new Index or maybe a smaller Steam Deck.
