How is that grim? It's the dream of the Semantic Web coming true, just by different means than planed.

> Waiting 90 years to obtain the right to make copies is a tradeoff. That's a little more than a trade off, it means nobody alive today will ever experience those games. And those …

> Libraries and archives are able to keep digital copies, with limits imposed on how they may share them Share them by bundling them with DRM[1]? Like archive.org does with books a…

Yeah, of course you can, but that isn't exactly an argument for DRM-free GOG if you need the evil Steam to get your games running, or mess around with DOSBOX, Wine, Heroic, Lutris …

Whenever an AI hallucinates an API call, you run the compiler, give it the error messages and it fixes it. A proper agentic workflow might do it all automatically. These are argume…

DRM-free was a nice idea 20 years ago, the problem is that it doesn't scale. There is just way to much media out there to keep track of and especially with games you are looking at…

That's how it should be. Make the Internet 18+ by default and sites targeted at younger audiences can add a more detailed rating. Let people configure their devices however they li…

I thought it was the other way around, X11 has supported multiple cursor since 2009 and Wayland didn't add support for it since toolkit developers weren't making use of it anyway. …

Veho[1] is experimenting[2] with similar kinds of robots for package delivery. [1] https://www.shipveho.com/rivr [2] https://www.youtube.com/shorts/d6jU_4XjkTU

There is Radicle for completely distributed hosting.

Gemini3.5 Flash didn't have a problem OCR'ing and base64 decoding it, despite the OCR step having errors, it just fixed them in the base64 decoding step.

They all degrade and hold less charge over time and eventually fail completely, it will just take years or decades. But with today's forced obsolescence on the software side I tend…

It's not about the console itself, but the accessories, anything that makes you buy more controllers means more money for them. And batteries aren't even the worst offender here. C…

> Isn't non-web-based cryptography affected (as per this take) in the same way but with extra steps? Yes, but it's a whole lot of extra steps spread across multiple independent par…

Subreddit threads are sorted by time and ratings, old style forum threads are sorted by activity. You can't bump a thread on Reddit. This leads to forums having threads that last y…

The problem with that "look" is that it's a dead end. These things won't be having a real glasses form factor and high enough specs to be useful anytime soon. They'll remain comica…

That explanation still seems overly complicated. Iroh isn't a VPN. Iroh just lets apps connect to each other, just like plain old TCP, but without the shackles of NAT, DNS and dyna…

The image capture was done with a robotic camera rig from what I understand, they photographed 360° images of the room from all possible position. They restricted the camera moveme…

Many years ago there was a game called Casebook[1], a small little detective game where you investigated rooms for clues. But unlike similar FMV games where you jumped from point t…

The point is that the brain operates on information , not things. The thing you think is the external world, that's just electricity flowing through your neurons. When you see a do…

The "you" isn't your physical body, it's the pattern recognition in your brain that that classifies some parts of its sensory input as "you" (see Mirror Hand illusion). That it hap…

I am a little worried that this is still a problem after 20 years. Don't they have simulators to test every weird and unexpected road condition offline? And flooded roads aren't ex…
