Given the recent gripe that Bun/Anthropic indicated regarding compile times with Zig (i.e. that their vibe-coded 4x compilation speedup PR wasn't accepted), it appears to me as an …

This is honestly the first thing I look for with anything new claiming "CAD". Roughly every other week there is a new "The (programmable) CAD that fixes everything!" post on the fr…

Just tried it out with GrapheneOS on my Pixel 7 and the eBay app works fine. Generally I think the marketing of GraphenOS is interesting. They are usually positioned as the "Absolu…

I mean, GrapheneOS hits at least 2/3 of your demands pretty well. The Play services are "regular" apps with permissions that you can take away. For contacts and files you get "scop…

There is the option to register the signing key of the ROM with the bootloader and then relocking it, thereby making those apps happy again. The biggest issue is that there is a di…

That's pretty much my impression of the post, too. It has a spark of profound thought "Generative AI will obscure the path to truth" combined with a lot of conspiracy-theory-grade,…

There is no legislation here. CUII is a private organization that generates lists of domains that contain copyright violations. ISPs voluntarily choose to block those.

Besides being a great project, this device reminds me a lot of the Technifant ( https://technifant.de ) which, under the hood, is similarly simple. The "hats" that you put on the T…

For me personally at least a few aspects about this are efficiency and control: The number of CPU cycles my current android phone burns through just to boot and get ready to accept…

I have a OnePlus 6 becoming "free" soon and I will definitely give PostmarketOS a shot (I had a glance at their compatibility list and noticed the OP6 is on there). Thanks for brin…

Now imagine that knife stabbings became so common that almost everyone started wearing body armor and you start selling body armor defeating knives explicitly. I can honestly see w…

In a roughly two-week window of not having adblock enabled, I have seen a ton of "politics-adjacent" ads in Germany. They'd usually start off with something that will get right-win…

1) I'm reasonably confident that this issue is not an accident. Better compatibility / better specs won't help here, I'm afraid. 2) A reference implementation for browser-features …

In most videos, there'll be a whistle-blow that marks the point where the life guard in the video reacts to the drowning person. Upon clicking the right location, you are "graded" …

I like the general idea, but the page you linked explicitly states that it isn't meant to be used to hide (user) IDs, or actually encrypt data.

I have to admit that those dark patterns on Amazon already saved me a good amount of money. For every order, I have to confirm that I don't want Prime (an estimated) 3 times now. U…

Which basically means the same thing, as the main use of crypto right now is to avoid financial regulation.

TikTok and Instagram both limit comments to a single layer of "answering". I guess that's a "good" alternative if your goal is to prevent the evolution of deep discussion and inste…

The big issue here (provided that I'm reading the PR correctly) is that it's purely for arrays of the primitive number types. Whereas most real applications (that I've seen) will b…

I brew it just like any regular herbal tea and I'm pretty happy with it. The whole ritual with the pipe and gourd is a bonus, but never required. If you dislike the more bitter fla…

There is still a difference between leaving out special cases to give more succinct advice and going out of your way to repeat the words "never"/"ever" three times to imply the abs…

That's a big thing with Julia actually. A lot of people first getting into it criticise it for its use of 1-based indexing (I'm not the biggest fan of it either tbh), but in realit…

> Cut the AI off humans' work, let it interact with the real world and see what it produces. It will be nothing. That "experiment" could just as well be done on humans, though, cut…

> ...was based on countries’ short-term goals for the next decade What else though? There is no "long-term" for politicians that have to face another election in less than 4 years.…
