Not your keys, not your coins, I suppose.
I've always found emojis in the terminal distracting, so it's actually quite a relief to learn that Konsole is guarding me against a whole other class of glyphs and logos.
>We know why it's different of course: scale I think it's more about abstraction. If someone is standing on the street corner taking down your plate number, you know they're likely up to no good. If there's a camera on…
If you have tabs sitting there unused for days, isn't that just a bookmark?
I think that size is important (heh). Democracy in ancient Athens had a "demos" only two or three orders of magnitude larger than Dunbar's number. Let's ignore the "massification" of democracy (which in my eye gives…
I do not believe that a majority of humans can be made to meaningfully engage with democracy. If this is true and POSIWID, then mass democracy only ever nullifies any real extent of democracy. As I see it, the only real…
Social mores. The desire of individuals to farm social capital and the desire of corporations to monetize this drive completely displaced "is it okay if I film this?" for a decade or two, but it seems to be coming back…
It pegs my i7-12700 before rendering anything if I don't block JS, so I'm quite curious to know what work of art I'm missing out on.
If advertising and tracking was less egregious, I wouldn't feel the need to use an ad blocker. But, here we are.
When it comes to animations, is there much of a reason to use avif over webm? I suppose an avif fits into CSS and <img> without further code changes, but that's about it as far as I can think.
Not everyone uses GNU coreutils.
Even if you're putting in 10-20 hours a week, you still have to pick what you play. When Backloggery was more popular, it was quite common to see profiles with dozens or hundreds of "I want to play this when I have the…
>It's old, I guess, which means either you've played it already or you haven't and never intend to. Strange sentiment for the year of publication, which is well past the massification and gamesjournalismification of…
It is indeed malicious compliance: https://european-union.europa.eu/cookies_en I have to assume that this is the work of some contractor (Intracom?). Every cookie could be removed (analytics, etc.; and does europa.eu…
The near-ubiquitous malicious compliance that took place during the implementation of GDPR (i.e., displaying consent modals instead of just not sending visitors' personal information to 93 third party services) at least…
It had to be restricted after someone started using a complete Wikipedia database dump as a password.
The bottom quintile has always been society's problem. What changed is how they're dealt with.
So they don't view humans as fungible economic units? That's very backward.
I don't use LLMs a whole lot, mostly for research, but personally I'm more bothered by the prompting than by the responses. After years of randomly receiving (now less frequent) incorrect answers, I've gotten used to…
The Spring Fair is a lorem ipsum, here.
Government jobs attract all the wrong people.
Besides vendor tricks, I'd like to see a showcase or article about the evolution of page layout patterns over time. That is, the underlying techniques, not the aesthetics; tables, fixed image sizes, float/clear, flex,…
Strange that this short article mostly focuses on the absence of shame in politics and business, which seems to have been a constant for many times my lifetime. And we should blame social media for this, too? If the…
Call me cynical, but I've long stopped taking the time to report minor edge case bugs if I can't also provide a solution or patch, as such reports more often than not get ignored or sit open in a bugtracker forever. I…
The COVID library wasn't even the first time they had book lending on the Archive. I remember at least a couple of different prior borrowing mechanisms. But besides books, JS/WASM emulators were added a long time ago to…
