  • I’m assuming this is referring to JSO.

    Beginning on 1 April, they carried out England-wide blockades of ten critical oil facilities, intending to cut off the supply of petrol to South East England.[33][34][35]

    On 26 August, the group blocked seven petrol stations in Central London and vandalised fuel pumps. Forty-three people around London were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

    On 20 June, the protestors spray painted private jets at a private airfield at Stansted Airport. The group had been targeting a jet belonging to singer Taylor Swift, but could not locate it.[140]

    Yes, a lot of their protests are “awareness” stuff (basically none of which do actual damage. Unlike oil, actually!). No, it’s not just that. The UK isn’t an active warzone so bombing stuff is slightly more difficult to justify.




  • Having read a significant portion of the base WASM spec, it’s really quite a beautiful format. It’s well designed, clear, and very agnostic.

    I particularly like how sectioned it is, which allows different functions to be preloaded/parsed/whatever independently.

    It’s not perfect by any means; I personally find it has too many instructions, and the block-based control flow is… strange. But it fills a great niche as a standard low-level isolated programming layer.





  • On the second point, Obsidian’s vaults are intentionally stored as a single folder that can be synced easily, including all settings. They do have a service for syncing, but with a bit of tech know-how it’s still really easy to sync. Also, all notes are stored as plaintext markdown files, which is convenient since many programs can read markdown.

    Rest is correct tho.
