Yeah, would be good to have confirmation that this happened to others as well. But it really seems like an own goal if true.

Although I'm slightly relieved there is a way out of Googles verification system, it's still pretty wild if you compare this to installing software on a Windows pc. I'm sure Micros…

Very uplifting read in these times. See myself in some of these mental traps of sorts.

This looks pretty interesting from a laymans perspective. Can anyone with more in depth knowledge relate this to the current state-of-the-art auto regressive models? are diffusion …

Thank you for this well written comment. I was not aware that passkeys are developing in the exact direction i feared, when i first read about them.

The court subtracted a fee for the artwork and for the display of the work, which he does not have to give back - so the artist did in fact get paid for his empty frame artwork. No…

I wonder if this could be used to finally get universal audio streaming from the device, kind of like airplay. Perhaps using the received audio stream to create an internet radio s…

Wow, this sounds like a really important decision. I wonder what Metas next line of defense will be, if any. The article says Meta can appeal, so I guess they will try that. It wil…

I'm happy to support Thunderbird; it's great to see a healthy project supported by donations. It would be pretty great if Firefox development could be supported by direct donations…

It was pretty amusing to try and guess how to smash the pieces into order, thanks!

This will be very dependent on the specific apps you need, but I have done almost the exact same process with some success. I switched to CalyxOS which has microG to "replace" Goog…

Dowsing has in fact not been proven to work. There is instead overwhelming evidence that it does not work better than chance. Wikipedia sums it up nicely, with citations: -- The mo…

To me, this seem like a fine initiative, all things considered. There's a bit of a false dichotomy in some comments, where Mozilla Rally is preventing or hampering Mozilla from imp…

Wow,i never realized you could do that, such a game changer! Thanks for the tip.

Interesting. As a counter argument, linguistics and grammar also involves a great deal of abstraction, which seems closely related to OOP concerns. But I will say that familiarity …

Perhaps this also depends on the type of software being built. If you are solving complex problems with original solutions then math and problem solving might be very important, bu…
