Maybe it's just familiarity, but I think it would look a lot more comprehensible with some punctuation. Just because a syntax is formally unambiguous doesn't mean it looks that way…

I use Sway and happily manage my terminal windows using its tabs and splits. I can mix other "graphical" apps with the terminals or move them to another screen, all with the same k…

Sorry about your connotations. I just needed a simple term to express "actions that are against the implicit social contract and harm the rest of society". Of course pinning down w…

Our laws only work because of a hidden assumption that trivial or victimless crimes won't be prosecuted. This assumption isn't always upheld, but automatic surveilance would break …

Actually it does affect me, as I do use Codeberg. And even if I didn't, your comment is pretty much equivalent to "mind your own business" and about as rude. We are all free to com…

I'm upset because I strongly prefer rules to be unambiguous and enforceable. This is neither.

More spend doesn't equal more ads. Given a fixed number of ad spots, demand dictates the price advertisers would pay for ad placement. But ad platforms have no incentive to reduce …

It really matters which country you're talking about, because depending on that you'll get answers from "filming in public is effectively forbidden" to "film and publish whatever y…

Pretty easily - I don't think reading a medical text from the 19th century will give you up-to-date information. I'd agree that the concept doesn't apply to fiction , though.

Sorry, I was looking at the non-pro variant by mistake.

They're also bigger than the base Samsung S26. They're not small even in comparison to other Android phones.

Of course, it's never impossible for the user to click a button. They can click on anything under their cursor. The key is giving them feedback to show them what their clicks will …

It sounds like your scheme would only allow browsing the "adult web" on locked-down, unmodified devices running government-approved software. Frankly, that's worse than even requir…

Please don't declare software "completely useless" just because it lacks a feature you need. I personally also need hiking trails on my map, but I know people who don't and happily…

There would be a bunch of value in having, say, a good 30B-class model that used my local language as well as it does English. There's lots of cases, especially in the government s…

I haven't ever heard of an SoC supplier demanding that the device's bootloader must be locked. Are you sure that this is happening? I've only ever seen devices delete first-party b…

New Zealand, along with Australia, shares a lot of its urbanism with the US and Canada. In the rest of the (urbanised) world, I'd say it's expected to be able to walk to stores, es…

Closed-source projects have been dealing with this forever, by having a mostly-static pool of employees replenished through job listings and interviews. A FLOSS project adopting th…

As far as I know, speculative decoding still verifies that the proposed tokens are what the "big" model would generate, it just uses the guesses to make that process faster. Settin…

I'm convinced that in the billions of people living on Earth, there are a couple million that could agree on things that currently divide countries, like this. Sadly they're unlike…

Despite what "far-right" groups may claim, politics isn't one giant us-versus-them war; I refuse to stoop down to their level. The US right likes to call their opponents pedophiles…

This seems like it needs a regional distinction. I regularly do this since cars do reliably stop/slow down (in Prague, and not right in front of cars).

No, there's a trust-on-first-use procedure where you have to accept the computer's key on your phone.

That only holds if you believe the market has a high level of efficiency. Maybe if we wait long enough, the distribution of devices being manufactured will match consumer preferenc…

Well, before Apple, most phones were appliances with fixed software; there was no openness to speak of. That said, I wish they hadn't continued this trend and instead took inspirat…
