PostNL vraagt opnieuw om extra geld voor postbezorging
Nog meer geld voor nog slechtere bezorging.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CURSOR?
I guess we need to extend this chart somewhat...

Alternative to Gmail? I currently use my own domain for email, but i miss the priority inbox
Regardless of which e-mail service you end up using, I find that an incredible simple rule to filter all e-mail with the word "unsubscribe" in it's body to another folder saves your sanity. It's still a folder you should go through a few times a week to read all the newsletters and shit you're subscribed to, and sometimes the occasional false positive, but your inbox will mostly contain e-mail you actually want to read. I have another rule that filters mail from specific senders that I want to read immediately to my Inbox before it hits the unsubscribe rule, but those exceptions are uncommon enough (I only have 7 after years of doing this) to not take much work.

Also the hole is still there, but it's slowly healing now instead of getting worse.

What's the biggest misconception you think many people have?
That the world is a zero sum game. That in order to have something, someone else has to go without. That in order to be great you have to drag others down.

The Debian project would unironically love to have more lesbians (or women with other sexual preferences): https://www.debian.org/women/

That's just wrong. If you're worried about portability get an e-reader, don't butcher up works of art.

'Fuck you, Bambu': How one private message could change the face of 3D printing
I'm surprised that people are surprised by this. Bambu has clearly telegraphed what kind of assholes they are in the past when they locked down their firmware and local APIs, so this was just expected behaviour IMHO.

Critical motherboard flaw allows game cheats, Riot Games blocks 'Valorant' players that don't update BIOS — security patches pushed live by all major motherboard vendors
Yet another nail in the coffin of client-side anti-cheat. If you're seriously affected by people using these kinds of cheats on their PCs (this one requires specialised hardware) then no amount of client-side anti-cheat is going to make a difference anyway.

I'm in a family group with only my wife and even we have 2 copies of Balatro.
Comment on
Is it common for family members to spy on each other's sexual behavior to find evidence of "degeneracy"? Or did I grow up in hell?
Sounds pretty fucked up to me. Normal people will just accept you for who you are, whatever that is. Well, unless you're a serial killer or something, but as long as we're talking about consensual sexual preferences they should stay well out of your stuff.

The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started
Reply in thread
This also means that, when you buy a car with say a 500 km range, that the battery will last for 10,000 x 500 = 5 million kms. That is an absolutely insane number compared to cars that are on the road right now. And one you will obviously only reach if the rest of the car can keep up. EVs are already doing well compared to ICE cars in this regard, but this is almost an order of magnitude larger than the current status quo.

Bcachefs creator claims his custom LLM is 'fully conscious'
Reply in thread
Is he really that talented a programmer though? He's made a good number of claims that his creations are far superior to everything else that exists, and plenty of people have fallen for those claims, but in the case of bcachefs I've seen very little to actually prove him right.

Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult"

One way of looking at it is serving a vegan a vegan meal, after you slaughtered a cow for the first couple of tries. Some of the damage has already been done.
Also, we've had several kerfuffles already where GenAI "placeholders" were present in a released game, and caused plenty of outrage. It's far safer to never have those placeholders to begin with. Just draw up something ugly in Paint, at least it'll be plenty obvious you need to fix it before launching the game.

Why do most tv has glossy shine when lights exist?
The massively oversimplified explanation is that more reflective coatings give a better image quality as long as you don't have reflections. Matte coatings dull the colours of the image a bit and make it a bit less sharp.

Astounding mental gymnastics. Not that it really matters in this case, although it does demonstrate a willingness to run away from facts that are staring him in the face. It sounds like he'll never admit he could have feelings for you too, whether that's true or not.

In order to generate that texture, AI bots have already been attacking every website hosting content on the internet for the past year, to the point that they were basically DDoSed and forced to take extreme measures to stay online. Plenty of copyrighted works have been slurped up without consent from their authors, a massive amount of energy has been used to inference the models and even more energy (far more than all cryptocurrencies combined for example) is used generating things from those models. So yes, a lot of damage has already been done. Far more than killing a couple of cows.

Or maybe all those things will work two years from now. And if some issues remain there's still LTS support for a while in multiple distros, since this only affects future versions.
