The mitigation mechanism is moderators like dang who manually intervene It's not perfect, but it ain't nothing

Oddly enough, I'm colorblind and I have had the worst time with color schemes. Many are completely unreadable and lack sufficient contrast. Others I just don't like So, I've starte…

The biggest issue with it is that watching a few videos in a row will result in YouTube soft blocking your IP for an hour or so. They're really cracking down on watching videos wit…

Rather than linking to a threads post that is a screenshot of the x.com post with little to no commentary, we should be linking to the original x.com post https://x.com/rauchg/stat…

The difference is that, in the west, there's an acceptable counter narrative. I can tell you that Ruby Ridge and Waco never should've happened and were examples of government overr…

What's actually going on here is the Unix Philosophy applied to more and more platforms. Previously, if you wanted to rig up a screen recording app in a few minutes you'd use Linux…

Sure, people are free to believe whatever. I am quoting the very scripture they claim to believe though and so it would be hypocritical to do otherwise The term we have for those f…

You've been dealing with the wrong folks then because all Christians should believe what James says when we says James 2:14-20, 26 (NET) What good is it, my brothers and sisters, i…

Nah, this is just the No True Scotsman fallacy. San Francisco is FAR more left in their politics than most of the nation. For example, the new mayor described himself as: > As a li…

Yeah, most of those real gaps have been solved at this point. I'd encourage you to give it a shot now with Avahi

I'm reminded of a rather unpopular statement made by Mark Shuttleworth > Don’t trust us? Erm, we have root. You do trust us with your data already. You trust us not to screw up on …

People just aren't used to how LLMs and their tools are developed Depending on the time of the year you can expect fresh updates from any given company on how their new models and …

> If the defaults are fine for a use case then unless I want to tune it for personal interest it’s either a poor use of my fun time or a poor use of my clients funds. It doesn't ma…

Mainly historical reasons: Back in 2009 during the Cyanogenmod days, Google issued a C&D to the developers to keep them from distributing Google Apps alongside the main ROM. IMO it…

It's a great browser, but sadly my 2fa keys don't work with it. Looking forward to the day the underlying engine adds support

My highschool teacher in 2008 taught us how to use the "mail merge" feature in Word. Out of the whole class it was the most "advanced" feature we learned and I wondered if I would …

All things being equal, you're right. I'd want to avoid the issue of wanting a lawyer and prefer the resources of a larger corporation making those decisions But they're not equal.…

Ah yes, the mere possibility of a sentient AI arises and we're already invoking Roko's Basilisk More seriously, that seems like a poor way to make moral choices in regards to AI. I…

Huh, built on electron. I wonder how difficult it would be to bolt this onto vieb and have the ultimate vim-terminal browser

This is why I power down my laptop physically and ensure startup is speedy. You simply can't trust suspending the laptop to not jack up the overall stability of the system after wa…

Choosing an instance limits you in two ways: 1. The rules of what you're allowed to post 2. The other instances that they choose to federate with (typically a block list that is pu…

I think that's a huge overstatement of how much duplicated effort is involved. The process is much more akin to: * OS 1 finds a bug in Gnome, reports it and perhaps fixes it * OS 2…

Generally speaking, I highly advise against this path. You're going to end up picking up some Java With Guest languages (Kotlin, Scala, Clojure, Fennel, etc) you almost always end …

Trust busting would open up a larger ecosystem of stores and/or phone companies, which may even be in other countries and outside of the FCC's reach Though, fair, that's a glorious…
