I empathize, I hate the bloated JS-heavy web and avoid it when I can. I just don't see a better solution. The options for me are: sacrifice some legit users by using Anubis, or sac…

> For a business, blocking some of your paying customers isn't acceptable. That depends on your business and the costs you're incurring from the bots. It might be justifiable to lo…

How do you figure it hurts real users? The amount of compute/energy used on the proof of work is pretty minimal. You're using more when you watch a YouTube video or browse a JS-hea…

Last I checked virgin birth remains in the realm of religion, not science.

Why only women?

I modified the title from "A player found out the ACTUAL name of my game's upcoming character from the Google Search AI - I had never told the name to anyone." because it was too l…

SV has done enough to influence Americans to hate them without the help of foreign enemies. https://jasmi.news/p/no-data-centers-in-my-backyard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbgv…

> These mostly start with saying that this is in rural America, away from the big cities. I'm not sure I follow here. Which rural parts of the US are home to stadiums, let alone bi…

That's where I've landed too. Maybe I'm just delusional and telling myself a comfortable story, but I think my ~15 years of experience building software by hand lets me utilize the…

I mean yeah? Wouldn't you be more proud of your ability to write a program in machine code than you would in assembly? Or more proud of assembly than of C? Or more proud of C than …

Alright, we’re each entitled to our opinions on the matter.

No, but come on. If you insert a computer into your brain and wake up tomorrow speaking German, would you be proud you could speak German? Wouldn't you rather work diligently to le…

Call me old fashioned but I take pride in things I work hard to achieve. I think it's embarrassing to be proud of AI output of any kind, be it software or art or writing.

That's a better analogy than my dumb drawing one. You can be happy you got your pizza and you can enjoy the taste but it is not an accomplishment to be proud of.

It does matter. Drawing a stick figure and having a machine print over it with a realistic image doesn't make you an artist, and no, you shouldn't be proud of it.

> sense of pride and accomplishment What? Pride of what? What accomplishment?

This is really what they need to get back to. Let macOS be themeable again.

It's shocking how bad Mail.app search is today. It basically doesn't work.

The future of the US depends on these people being held accountable by the next administration, and structural reforms to make their abuses harder to do again in the future.

Windows are resizable. Built-in width selection!
