I've been eyeing the Xteink devices for a while now. They fit all the boxes - small, cheap, physical buttons - a basic reading utility. However, since there's no support for DRM, I…

Perhaps unrelated, but that reminds me of the inevitable avalanche of identical replies to every submission on aphantasia, all proclaiming that, no, they do indeed find it odd that…

Side note: I love literature, but I can not for the life of me understand how anyone can consider non-fiction enjoyable to read. Informative, perhaps interesting, yes, but enjoyabl…

Perhaps you could add a classic Swedish take on pancakes/crepes - whisk a moderate numbers of eggs with milk (4 eggs for every litre of milk is a good starting point, but dealers c…

As much as I'd prefer a smaller, non-american operator (for most anything really), I'm extremely hesitant to pay directly for search. For this service, the "just an ID as account" …

WYSIWYG, huh? I'm certainly not against the idea, and the editor seems to work well enough (given the 3 minutes I spent on the landing page). I'm not so sure why it needs an LLM in…

Note: de jure, not de facto. I'm pretty sure most news outlets would cave with the right pressure, with or without any new laws. On top of that is the fact that the department for …

Most people don't treat their line setting as holy scripture. Besides, nobody stops you from putting your actions on a sliding scale. Did your good friend not repay his loan? Okay,…

I opened the comment section expecting to find a slew (a slop?) of LLM enthusiasts. I was not disappointed. Whether you're a fanatical or not, of either side, LLM usage is driving …

I presume you'll add the network stack next, so that I can use my favourite, most useful packages? import isOdd from "https://unpkg.com/is-odd";

To be fair, Windows 7 was quite good in my opinion. Wait, what year is it?

Frankly I didn't "build" anything. It was mostly just a case of setting up the docker scripts, make sure the volumes have proper permissions and the configuration is sane. The conf…
