MS has a history of fucking up LibreOffice installs. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/General/General_Inst...

I’m interested in how do you grow as a developer when the usage of LLMs is basically forced on you? Background: 8-ish years of computational physics & chemistry research (scipy) an…

An alternative reply, with analogy, if you like them: You own a restaurant, where you sell poisoned (intentionally and knowingly) food. A group of people band up for class action l…

It’s not a rival store, or speech against them. It’s a lawsuit, with the users of the platform as the damaged party, against the platform. Removing the possibility to reach the use…

Could you point to where you found the details of the exploit? It’s not in the linked page. Really interested. Especially the part about modifying it and the other users propagatin…

Well, google doesn’t sell pixels in eu that can use graphene, and samsung installed the israeli spyware on all their devices. So apple is kinda the best solution. Unless you count …

In the German site I get free shipping over 60 Eur, but only by stuff shipped by amazon. And other vendors somehow manage to always screw up shipping, so now I have had all orders …

No, it’s more like you have 10k km to drive in this car. And then, after you actually drive it for 10k km on “unauthorized” highways, they ban you. That’s why analogies are for fuc…

I consider myself a hobby photographer, and I love having a phone camera. I can then have the tele glass on for entire hike/session, and do landscapes on the phone. Currently, 2 we…

Finlandia and Absolut

>They should. If your research is publicly funded you should make it as available to be public as possible. Academics should be able to communicate, and I very much doubt they are …

>2. Do people with aphantasia dream in images? Yes, I do. As it goes, I think it is some neurological thing, a receptor that is misfiring, or something. I've been testing it for th…

My number in EU (LTU) is not prepaid, but likely on some bullshit outdated prefix blacklist, so US companies (microsoft and blizzard so far) do not allow to use it for authenticato…

I am in academia and I see the same thing among my colleagues. In physics and chemistry. I also see a lot of data manipulation, lies in methodology, omission of any flaws in the st…
