Thanks for the article, very insightful! I’m researching dev + AI workflows to build something to improve them. In your view, what’s the right granularity for storing and reusing context: A long file with lots of…
"Please show your ID to install an app" "Please show your ID to see protest pictures" "Please show your ID to have an opinion". The dystopian authoritarian future is here. Time to apologize to the 'tinfoil hats' that…
Anybody knows the business reason for this feature to exist? most people here and in other places are incredibly frustrated with auto-translate and the inability to turn it off. I include myself in that bunch. There are…
Very impressed. As a programming impostor (never formally trained, and not working as programmer) I find the program 1) helped me to understand the basics of a full blown IDE dev cycle end to end 2) helped me to refine…
I've been using LibreWolf as my daily driver for a couple of years. Highly recommended! Available for Windows, MacOS and Linux. Ranked as the highest for privacy protection in a 2022 study:…
You're absolutely right it's dangerous. It's likely that I gave myself cancer by adopting this 'simplistic truth'. A decade ago I read about the keto diet and thought "why not?". Lots of positive stories about dropping…
I get what you're saying. It has character, that's for sure :) But have you tried to actually perform a task? Ie "I want to buy an animal-shaped robot". Your eyes don't have anchor points in such a chaotic layout, it's…
Beautiful writing. It comes at an interesting time for me. I'm in a full blown mid-life crisis where my state of mind fluctuates between full contentment and wishing I was doing more with life. This article made me…
And we all know how things go from there. First, eID is implemented as "just another, more convenient way to log in to your online services". Then, private organizations get pressure to implement eID (through soft power…
If I flip the switch, one man will die because of my actions. If I don't flip the switch, 5 people will die because of bad luck. I'm inclined to let destiny decide the outcome and save the one man. Am I alone here?
> It's amazing how much damage these cargo-cult UI/UX morons have done in the past ten years. They threw out several decades of usability pioneered by real HID experts for something that looks pretty but doesn't fucking…
I wouldn't blame the people who sold out. That team created a strong and delightful product. To me, blame goes to the people who took over and started to make bad decisions.
The way I see it, you have two routes: - Accept reality and the fact that this is a crude subject. Use psychological tools to feel less weird over time (ie get a lot of exposure to the stuff that you find unsettling).…
Good tip, but to offer a counter-point: I skip a lot of text when reading job descriptions because 99% of the time they are packed with marketing nonsense. It's so dull, meaningless and repetitive that it's sometimes…
In the article, the sentiment from many people is: companies already own my data anyway, so at least I'm getting something this time". In other words, the malicious actions from data predators (FAANG et al.) and the…
The threat is so broad that giving examples is trivial. One that immediately comes to mind: Imagine science discovers that 99% of people with a certain feature in their iris is likely to develop colon cancer. The…
I know I'm in the minority, but I dislike the fact that they count me as a Windows user just because I bought a Dell laptop. First thing I did was to install Linux and ditch all the crapware that came with my machine.
No, I found an exception: cheesoisseur - that is, cheese appreciator. At least in my experience. From years 0 to 25 I kept my taste in cheese simple. Then, one day at 25 I went to a wedding and tasted a couple strong…
Thanks for the effort, this is a fantastic resource. I installed 5 RSS reader apps in my Linux Mint machine to test the OPML. 4 of them failed to import the file: Thunderbird, Lifera, Quitrss and another one I forgot…
I have the opposite view. No matter what individuals do, they won't turn the system around. Furthermore, a good % of consumption is B2B. There has to be a systemic ban on producing products that threaten the existence…
Defeatism adds to the problem and it doesn't bring solutions. If we're already accepting that idiotic laws will pass, obviously they will. Let's call this what it is: a myopic and totalitarian law created by misinformed…
I really liked the story and the way it was told. I could sit there with the guys and experience their stress and panic. The point about sexism was unnecessary and detracting to the story. It's yet another sad sign of…
Thanks for that! I was looking for a place where I can send a message to Reddit leadership (and other mismanaged tech companies). Here we go... deleting a 6yr old account with a lot of karma accumulated.
Humorous question: Could moving there be a privacy advantage? I can imagine insanely long locations break a good bunch of databases and CRMs, specially legacy ones... I would give my location to every spammer and…
I have been running CalyxOS on a Pixel 6a for 6 months and I'm very happy with it. It does everything I need and found no big annoyances so far. A minor issue is MyFitnessPal not reading barcodes but that's it.
