IDEs just keep inventing new reasons not to use them ! Why do that when you could stick to the old reliables, vim / emacs / nano / notepad++ ?

Imagine a phone you literally scroll.

Oh, that would be nice if the folds weren’t still extremely fragile 😂

Go go gadget-o Codeberg !

Sounds like my AI usage is gonna fall from “infrequent” to “never”, if the ads are indeed unblockable…

I am very annoyed that I have to enable cloudflare’s JavaScript on so many websites, I would much prefer if more of them used Anubis so I didn’t have third-party JavaScript running as often.

( coming from an annoying user who tries to enable the fewest things possible in NoScript )

I’m in Europe, so if anything that would benefit us x)

In moments like this I always wonder if I should temporarily make my PC unusable by reselling the component that’s overpriced.

Then wait out the shortage and buy 4x as much RAM then x)

Almost did it with my GPU during covid.

The real solution is humane working hours. If you can’t wake up on time, it means you shouldn’t even be waking up at that time.

Some people sleep late. That’s normal. It should be accommodated for.

Good idea, maybe. Neurons are unbelievably efficient compared to circuits ; I think bioengineering is going to be the future for many industries.

The savings to be made, in terms of money and resources alike, are just staggering. Our current approach to almost every domain is just brute force with a few extra steps, computers included.

What movie is this ?

Maybe they think market research is for suckers who aren’t confident enough in their ideas 🤡

My mind would be blown if the computer always answered correctly.

I am unimpressed because a majority of answers are at least slightly bullshit, and very often they are entirely incorrect.

Bitcoin has at best 5 years left until quantum computers just destroy the cryptography they use, so they are right to look for an escape.

I just wish they realized how futile this all is.

People make it too complicated. When I want to self host something I just install the Nix package and call it a day.

When I get around to upgradingy storage, I’ll just do a very simple RAID setup on some reliable HDDs.

I’m super allergic to unnecessary complexity. I don’t want a perfect setup, I want a setup that is reliable with almost no maintenance. I’m skipping the 80% of the effort it takes to get the last 20% of the result.

That’s annoying (or at least, takes some work) to set up, and more expensive.

Out of order cameras are basically (sometimes literally) free, need no wiring work, and don’t “accidentally” record any embarrassing / private moments you then have to delete !

Hot take : almost no one actually needs security cameras in their home.

For the very few who do, visible fake cameras do 95% of the job of real cameras with none of the drawbacks.

EDIT : I’ll go even further and say an official looking sticker / plaque that says something like “this house has cameras” does at least 50% of the work already.

I have been thinking of adding a license clause to everything I make (code especially) that makes any AI trained on it my sole exclusive property, but I don’t know how defensible that would be in court ?

Or any other sort of trap clause. But again, I don’t know how to word it. Like “this makes your model public domain” or “you grant a free worldwide unlimited license to every human on earth”.

Something that makes the mere inclusion of the code in a training data set into absolute legal poison to the would-be owners.

I am not a lawyer, not even slightly…

I usually allow websites to run their first-party scripts on their own domain without much of a second thought (using NoScript on Firefox). But my threat model is likely more lax than yours.

I wish more people used Anubis instead of Cloudflare, I am a little concerned with how often I have to allow the latter to run their script to even access a website…
