This seems really short-sighted. Why would I go to How Stuff Works when I can just ask the LLM myself?

Maybe there's just no possible business model for them anymore with the advent of LLMs, but at least if they focused on the "actually written by humans!" angle there'd be some hook to draw people in.

You're going to get a lot of comments about Ubuntu and snaps. Definitely one of the reasons I switched away from it.

Gary Larson has commented on how he accidentally writes some pretty indecipherable comics. His most famous one even has its own Wikipedia page:

There's some even older UI bits buried around in there:

"Ok class, for the rest of the semester, we're going to use the C89 standard".

I forgot the return 0; at the end of my main function and lost points on a test. Decided to be a point slut to ensure an A in the class and argued that it's allowed in the C99 standard. The professor sighed and gave me back my points, but next class specified the exact standard he was grading by.

This is tilting at windmills. If someone has physical possession of a piece of hardware, you should assume that it's been compromised down to the silicon, no matter what clever tricks they've tried to stymie hackers with. Also, the analog hole will always exist. Just generate a deepfake and then take a picture of it.

mapcomplete has integration with this site:

I've also seen this project:

What a shitheel. They're trying to justify imperialism with realpolitik, but they're not even doing a good job of it. The third option is that other countries help out Ukraine against a crazed imperialist. It won't be easy, but right now, Ukraine retaining its sovereignty looks actually likely.

That tracks

The scary temperatures you see in news headlines are basically unaffected by the fires. Wikipedia has a good overview:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_surface_temperature

The overall issue with global warming is not that one place gets super hot once and sets a record. Otherwise I could make news headlines by setting my house on fire and getting "hottest temperature ever! (at my house)". Those local hotspots of fire will affect the average global temp only a tiny bit, because the earth is a big place and there's lots of places not currently on fire. The thing to worry about is the reverse actually: because the earth is warming, fires are increasing everywhere, and then everybody will be next to a fire on that blessed record-setting day.

I found the solution on the archwiki!

Never used Arch before in my life, but the wiki is great. Rising tide lifts all boats and all that jazz

Those are dumb fucking patents. I hope Google fights this to the end and gets them invalidated.

Much of the concept of "intellectual property". Here's a good essay by Richard Stallman:

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.en.html

Copyright by and large needs to be abolished. Patents in software are nonsensical, and elsewhere they should be drastically scaled back. Trademark is alright, with a few adjustments needed.

But all of the above is hiding behind a concept of "property" that just does not apply to intangible things, and we need to stop using that term to describe them.

That's an interesting comment from a guy that used to work for Canonical, and then went anti-snap pretty hard, to the point that he made this:

They already were the first? I still remember when I upgraded Firefox on my phone and all of the extensions were gone. It's nice that they're finally bringing them back after all these years, but it's just a return to the way things used to be.

EDIT: Headline here was changed from the original article, which doesn't claim "first", just "only".

Man what a clusterfuck. Things still don't really add up based on public info. I'm sure this will be the end of any real attempts at safeguards, but with the board acting the way it did, I don't know that there would've been even without him returning. You know the board fucked up hard when some SV tech bro looks like the good guy.

Oh neat. Development had died down, but looks like it's picking back up again and the creator is finding more maintainers. It's what I use on my phone.

How are you defining "far extreme liberal"?
