Futurology Today

In the last few months i really gotten into the whole Fediverse thing, but i noticed that, despite it being the most popular Social Media Platform, there isn't a TikTok alternative. I know there is Loops, but it's not open source or federated yet, so it's not really an option. Why is that?

Queen Elizabeth II was not told officially for nearly a decade that one of her most senior courtiers had admitted he was a Soviet spy, newly declassified British files revealed Tuesday.

Anthony Blunt, an art historian and the Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures overseeing the official Royal Art Collection, confessed in 1964 that he had been a Soviet agent since the 1930s. However, the queen was not fully informed about Blunt for around another nine years, according to files from Britain's domestic MI5 spy agency released by the National Archives.

She took it "very calmly and without surprise", according to the records.

It was decided to tell the monarch when ministers became concerned that the truth would become public when Blunt died.

He had been recruited by the Soviets while he was at the University of Cambridge, joining a spy ring that included other infamous double agents Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess and Kim Philby.

Blunt was a senior MI5 officer during World War II and passed vast quantities of secret intelligence to his handlers from the KGB Soviet spy agency.

He was questioned several times after Maclean and Burgess fled to the Soviet Union in the 1950s. But without a confession, he was allowed to keep his position at the heart of the British establishment until the early 1960s.

So I'm re-doing some of my Do Not Press The Button (Or You'll Delete The Multiverse) character models and I have this duck that is kind of inspired by the Companion Cube in Portal. I want to make it as appealing as possible so the players will attach to it and carry it around with them. Which looks better! I'm more partial to the neck tie (because I like wearing them) but what do you guys think?

(If you want to follow how development of the game is going, a simple wishlist on Steam will be well appreciated STEAM )

Original Title: Humility reduces anger and promotes more benign interpretations of conflict. The new study demonstrated that intellectually humble individuals were more open to understanding differing perspectives, which may help explain their reduced anger and hostility.

Hi, I setup RetroArch from Steam on my Fedora machine that is my daily driver since 3 years. It works tremendously well if I run in directly from my computer, but the problem starts when I want to stream it to my TV on the other room. RetroArch launches on my computer screen and takes in any input received through the in home streaming connection just fine, it looks fine on my computer screen, but on the other end on the TV I get only a black screen. If I switch RetroArch to compatibility mode on proton experimental (that is - force to use the Windows version instead of Linux native), the stream works perfectly but the cores won't load and this is far from a perfect solution anyway.

I wonder if anyone knows what the issue could be?
