> Is this an actually serious question? Yes, it is. I just Googled that exact question (and I promise I'm not trying to be obstinate when I say I'm Googling the exact phrase!) and …

Isn’t that kinda the point, though? If you already lack the required knowledge to ask a web-based chat UI (which, as an aside, is almost exclusively referring to ChatGPT Free for t…

Same here, got stuck in an infinite loop of the booster pad (?) sending slamming me into the wall over and over.

Absolutely! In my opinion, the only way to learn anything in any meaningful way is to actually do the thing . In the example you described, you'll quickly start jumping into "Wait,…

I have often thought about trying to figure out whatever Win32 API is responsible for focus stealing and neuter it down to something akin to void steal_focus_when_user_is_least_exp…

I would love to use Safari more, but unfortunately Facebook Messenger and similar ilk (maybe all messaging apps?) seems to be completely busted on it.

> "adding rich text editing features to a text editor” Yeah, we already had that. In the form of Wordpad. Which was EOL'd. And now we have Notepad with AI features. Notepad was, an…

Glad (/s) to see the MBA-ification of tech companies continues uninterrupted as we enter the second half of the decade.

Further to this - even if the script doesn't contain malware and you're 100% happy to run with this persons' defaults, you probably still shouldn't, as it doesn't teach you what yo…

To be fair though, I don't think it's unreasonable for the "average user" to expect that there are sensible defaults for the things they buy / install. Obviously, there's a huge di…

To preface this, I'm not a Japanese speaker, so perhaps my fears are misplaced, but learning from anime seems like it'd present users with a very particular flavour of Japanese (i.…

Good lord, that's awful. I'm definitely firmly in Camp Apple for the most part, but this just looks actually atrocious.

Definitely not an accident - the announcement was made on the TF blog [0] [0] - https://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=238809

TF2 definitely looks amazing, but it very much does not perform amazing - at least, not anymore. Source really wasn't built for the amount of particles present in the cosmetics (es…

It absolutely grinds my gears - Chrome's profile system and / or Firefox's container tab system work somewhat, but it feels like a bandaid fix.

Oooh, this sounds promising - thank you so much!

The institution I work for is a completely Google-based shop, with an Enterprise agreement with Google for data retention and various other requirements. Even for us, Google Takeou…

And I'd be willing to wager an even smaller amount of "users" are actually real people.
