Adobe don’t have to care what their customers think because their business practices have eradicated most of their competitors, leaving them trapped. Neoliberalism is not a viable …

The point is that you still need to expose a shell or a wrapper around exec to launch those commands. That is t appropriate when I want to lock the model down to working entirely f…

The issue is that a huge amount of value is tied up in the client applications, which do not have community-maintained equivalents.

Here's hoping it's not another security nightmare...

IMO we don’t place enough emphasis on the gain in comfort: my home is a solid 21°C at all times since we replaced our aging gas boiler. The larger radiators, lower water temperatur…

Why is it a problem? Why should the ability to afford healthcare determine your ability to access it? I'm genuinely curious as to why you think it's reasonable for the less financi…

Why must I do anything of the sort? As with all things there is a balance to be found that does not necessarily mean zero. I can both support healthcare that’s free at the point of…

I sympathise with this. I don't use macOS by choice, but because my employer forces me to do so as the security team has a dated understanding of the state of desktop Linux and MDM…

Niri can even do one better: if you configure a keybind for the move-workspace-to-monitor-next or -prev actions you can move entire spaces between monitors, with wrap around. You c…

I would really love to hear more about this, but my cursory search didn't find a write up about it. I did a PoC of Dagger for an integration and delivery workload and loved the loc…

They are absolutely not common in Europe, and aren't even generally enforceable in consumer contracts. They're considered non-binding, as they're "unfair terms" in the Unfair Terms…

Anubis is the new hotness, specifically billing itself as an "AI firewall". If you've had an animé waifu check you're human you've even used it.

Quite likely fingerprinting detection, which is remaining firmly enabled.

Granted, but there are open source alternatives that don’t have the same obsession with meaningless digital signatures. Turnstile is just a terrible product.

As a user of an unsigned Firefox fork, Turnstile has ruined a moderate portion of the Internet for me. The way Cloudflare doesn’t think twice about eroding user freedoms, for the s…

Or at least what a marketing team that has tried nothing and is already completely out of ideas looks like. This isn’t subversive, it’s just lazy.

Not every consumer of a service like CodeRabbit will be in a position to make decisions about the tools their org adopts, or even be involved in the relationship with the vendor. A…

I have 12 of them in a cluster and had endless lockups and performance issues with USB drives and SD cards. I ended up switching to a USB to SATA adapter and a cheap consumer grade…

Raspberry Pis themselves are perfectly reliable given a stable power supply and good storage — steer clear of slow and flakey SD cards. The HAOS virtual appliance is awesome though…

Two reasons I can think of: it wastes your time to have keep scrolling past blatant hallucinations, and it still costs the environment to compute it. I'm happy to cost Google some …

This sadly doesn't match my lived Linux experience. The amdgpu drivers are absolutely abominable with Thunderbolt and regularly cause suspend/resume issues, even when the laptop ha…

One neat Nix feature is development shells, which let you define isolated shell environments that can be activated by invoking `nix develop` (or via direnv upon entering a director…

There sure is a lot of chest beating
