I don’t think there’s anything untoward going on with the OP here. I’m not using a VPN and the metadata is in German for me.

I could definitely be misunderstanding something, though. I for sure haven’t watched the whole linked video. What little I’ve seen seems legit as far as I’ve been able to tell so far.

it still contains animal products

It does? Assuming the replicator doesn’t get the matter it’s composing replicated “meat” from disassembled animals, what is it that makes replicated “meat” not dietarily vegan? Taste? Nutritional profile? Chemical indistinguishability?

Is real world Impossible meat dietarily vegan? Could Impossible meat be made not dietarily vegan without actually using animal products in its manufacture? Maybe with nutrient fortification of some sort or a more sophisticated chemical process that produces proteins more chemically similar to meat proteins? Shaping the vegitable-derived matter into little muscle cell shapes? Adding gristle and fat?

What about converting pure plant material into a whole living cow indistinguishable from a naturally bread/born cow, and then slaughtering, butchering, and griding it into ground “meat”?

I dunno. I’m no vegan and I’m not sure if you are. Maybe among vegans, it’s an accepted consensus that Impossible is not dietarily vegan (though maybe morally vegan? Not sure.)

I and a friend of mine were talking about the “paleo diet” at one point. The subject turned to paleo substitutes for dishes that were decidedly not paleo. Paleo breads, pastas, candy, etc. And he expressed a distaste for the entire idea of eating foods that approximate very not-paleo dishes, calling them “faileo”. Heh. I suppose one could say such foods are paleo in one sense and not the other. (Though if one were to discuss “moral paleo-ness” and “dietary paleo-ness”, I’m not sure which one they’d qualify as and which one not.) Maybe Impossible is similarly morally vegan but not dietarily vegan.

It took some digging to find an article that actually shows the image.

• An article
• The image itself

A few ideas:

• If it’s a hard drive, listen to see if you keep getting hard drive noises after the freeze.
• Try SSH’ing in to that box (or otherwise try making a network connection to it.) Just to make sure the system is actually freezing and it’s not just the graphics screwing up and not updating the display while continuing to boot.
• Delete/uninstall your AMD firmware. Or if you don’t have it installed, install it.
• If you’re currently booting in EFI mode, try BIOS mode. Or vice versa.
• Try booting with an incorrect “root” kernel parameter. My thought is maybe if it’s loading a module that’s causing issues, if it can’t get the root FS, it can’t load modules. If it doesn’t have the same issue, that will tell you something. (And if it does, that’ll tell you something too.)
• Try other distros’s live ISOs to see if you you can isolate anything that makes a difference.

I mean FUTO specifically. It’s not about what license they’re using per se. It’s about them:

• Co-opting the term Open Source. (By the time their apology came, it was far to little too late.)
• …specifically in an effort to sabotage the whole OSS movement by diluting the term. (Especially in the wake of big asshole companies like Meta doing the same.)
• Talking smack about OSS and further pushing their anti-Open-Source agenda in their supposed “apology” to the people they pissed off for having co-opted the term.
• All while acting extremely sanctimonious about how they’re revolutionizing consumer rights in tech or whatever.
• …with a supposedly better license that’s “Open Source plus pay nag screens”. Congratulations, you’ve solved enshittification. (/s)

FUTO Is a for-profit company. If they’d started out saying “yeah, our stuff isn’t Open Source, but it is shared-source and we don’t think we can really survive as a company without nag screens”, I wouldn’t be pissed at them. I still more likely than not wouldn’t use their software, but I wouldn’t be calling them “evil”. But as it is, I’m convinced FUTO is just an asshole company trying to use consumer rights hype and formerly the stolen “Open Source” label to increase their bottom line without even the slightest care about consumer rights in tech. Much like Apple’s famous 1984 Superbowl ad.

As for Rossmann himself, I don’t so much blame him. The work he’s done in increasing awareness of right-to-repair was (when I last followed him at all) awesome. I don’t know but what he got swept up in FUTO’s rhetoric before he really knew what terms like “Open Source” meant. I just hope he eventually severs his connection with FUTO and makes some public statements about what a clusterfuck FUTO committed with their whole antagonism-to-the-OSS-community thing. (Actually, I don’t know if he’s still so much involved with FUTO. Again, I haven’t been following him just because of how disgusted I am with FUTO and his connection thereto.)

Completely unrealistic art. The hands are too big.

I guess I’m glad to see more use of AGPL. Maybe that will make other projects less reticent to touch AGPL with a 10-foot pole. That could be a tiny silver lining out of this whole mess.

There’s no more today, there’s only now.

My favorite book ever. “Hackers” by Steven Levy. It really does a good job of giving you a sense of the early days of software development and the background behind/before the Free Software movement.

“Hey Jeff, lay down right here. We want to play checkers.”

Wait, they can detect your pulse via a video? How? Variation in flushing during systolic vs diastolic phases of the heartbeat? Unconscious synchronization of affect/verbalization/whatever with one’s own heartbeat? Given the following, I think it must be closer to the former:

The analysis of the transmission of light through the skin and underlying blood vessels has long been indispensable in medicine, for example in pulse oximeters. Its digital cousin, so-called remote photoplethysmography (rPPP), is an emerging method in telehealthcare, which uses webcams to estimate vital signs. But rPPP can, in theory, also be used in deepfake detectors.

In recent years, such experimental rPPP-based deepfake detectors have proven good at distinguishing between real and deepfaked videos.

“Upgrade?” “UPGRADE?!” Oh no they didn’t.

Seriously, though, there may well be ways around this without switching your OS. If it’s browser-based, the first thing I’d try is a user-agent switcher.

Though, actually, does that “remind me later” option work? It does look kindof grayed out, but it couldn’t hurt to try a click.

Thanks, I hate it!
