I played the demo, it was very cool. Looking forward to playing it. I see it's on Game Pass, too.

How does such a deal work? Do they contact you? Or are there places where you can promote your game to get it on Game Pass?

yeah, should work. Will try readonly on windows too.

Now I can't see it anymore, but shouldn't the model be under chrome://on-device-internals/ -> model-status?

Maybe you can uninstall there too.

I'm on Chrome 147 too and disabled:

"optimization-guide-on-device-model"

- Enables optimization guide on device

"prompt-api-for-gemini-nano"

- Prompt API for Gemini Nano

- Prompt API for Gemini Nano with Multimodal Input

and deleted weights.bin and the 2025.x folder in "OptGuideOnDeviceModel"

Will report if Chrome 148 downloads the model again.

Thanks, didn't know that one.

No, that is horrible, I get less punishment for youth etc. But they know what they did and did it multiple times, and it was nearly systematic (I read about 80 witnesses? wtf is going on?)

Even if you are 15, you know what you are doing is horrible. I hope this dudes suffer in the future, horrendous human beings and the judge should be ashamed.

In such cases, I understand that people take the law into their own hands. Imagine this being your daughter.

Please tell me which legal case you mean? Sounds very much like a bubble-YouTube story about ‘Muslims can rape everybody in Germany without getting punishment.’

Acquittals happen when there are contradictions in the evidence or victims testimonies, but when it's clear that a rape occurred and the perpetrator only gets a stern talking to - don't really know such stuff happening.

I hope the classification for these drugs is not so wide that "normal" drug users are now weapon holders while using their stuff recreational without harming anybody.

Edit: I got more infos:

- Germany's national authorities will classify GBL and 1,4-Butanediol as weapons under German criminal law, treating administration as weapon deployment to strengthen prosecution.

- Under previous German criminal law, administering date-rape drugs was often charged as bodily harm without weapon classification, while survivor groups noted victims face memory loss complicating evidence.

- The reform permits courts to apply strengthened sentencing, allowing German prosecutors and courts to impose longer prison terms and mandatory minimums since administering drugs counts as weapon use, aiding prosecution.

- Survivors of drug-facilitated assault stand to gain a stronger legal foundation and clearer accountability, while the symbolic framing signals a cultural shift in German society prioritizing survivor protection.

- Legal experts warn that judicial training, forensic improvements and survivor-centered reporting systems are vital, while critics caution offenders may exploit loopholes or switch substances without such measures.

Seems reasonable, complicated topic

Thank you for posting this, the misinformation is clear as day. But lying is without consequences if people are dumb or lethargic enough, it seems.

This will get very interesting.

Seems cool, I'm using free commander and need 2 vertical panels, because of the ease of coping files.

I guess I skipped this app before because on the screenshot it looks like it just has one panel. But after trying it out, it has "dual pane" mode, so I will give this a shoot.

My gut feeling watching PirateSoftware says to me that something is wrong with this dude. Of course, he was a hacker for the government, worked at Blizzard hat made all the smart decisions, source is him.

Every time he's saying something obvious (basic computer science concepts) and people are pretending he's the ubergod of knowledge.

The dumb person's genius, I feel like. Something says to me there is much pretending involved.

100s meetings on Signal with the 'smartest people I have ever met' is a big red flag for me.

I know I'm an asshole, but I've never had good experiences with people who call themselves super smart.

And of course, they were identifying all problems with the government on signal in very short, super effective meetings... yeah sure, dude.

Yeah, I know Linux can do gaming, dev and is stable and good. But there is always something which needs a hack / fix, different lib or something.

"Normal" people just take the convenience of a working system out of the box than having a privacy respecting OS.

Personal anecdote, installed Linux Mint on an old Laptop of a friend. First thing, we open Firefox and go to YouTube, hard freeze of the whole OS. Not a single key worked anymore.

Not the best advertisement for the stable and better OS Linux I was showing him.
