    Anecdotally, I don't use a screen reader and also couldn't care less on the visitors on the site. I doubt anyone but you is interested in this, and probably this number is slightly…

    "If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself." - Albert Einstein (allegedly :)) I always thought that the quote was with "5 year old" and that it wa…

    If I'm not mistaken, it's not a prompt injection attempt, but a training data pollution, in order to prepare for a prompt injection later :) great idea

    I'm not sure what you are complaining about, AGPL is doing nothing against commerce and you are free to fork and sell a service using that fork. Just make sure to provide the code …

    You insist on calling it legacy connectors, but they are just perfectly good current day connectors to connect a keyboard, a video game controller, a USB drive, a printer, a scanne…

    Looks like all the USB-A devices purchased over the past 30 years have not been trashed and some people still use them.

    Unfortunately, Israel and US have no authority to bomb Iran, capture Venezuela's head of state or commit genocide in Gaza and it seemed it was not enough to prevent those either. L…

    I have been using computers and terminal for a long time, and this kind of comment makes me think I must have missed a whole bunch of things which can be done with a terminal
