If you can't tell if a text was modified by AI, then all accusations that a text was written by AI must be ignored. Not without strong evidence. Yet here we are: The mere accusatio…

The "problem" is that people—the ones that actually care whether or not something was written by AI—don't just want to spot text that was generated by AI (like in your examples). T…

The quest: Recover data stored in the quantum crystal matrix by building a tachyon pulse emitter.

If you don't manage the history properly in your SPA, pressing the back button could take the user out of the app entirely. If you don't let web developers manage history/state lik…

Windows uses Group Policy (which isn't particularly secure for many reasons) while Linux uses configuration files (e.g. udev, AppArmor, stuff in /etc like fstab) in conjunction wit…

Firefox has /usr/lib/firefox/distribution/policies.json which lets the sysadmin lock down what users can do with the browser. Example: If you wanted to block all extensions except …

On a Linux desktop you can lock down waaaaay TF more stuff than Group Policy allows. The only difference is you need a sysadmin that knows what they're doing . You can't just point…

The time for regulatory action against Microsoft was thirty years ago and the need for it has only grown since then. The FTC wasn't doing their job between 1980-2020 because of the…

No. Embrace, Extend, Extinguish was replaced by the AAA strategy: Acquire, Assimilate, Abandon. They were trying to be more Google-like with that "Abandon" step I think. They've si…

You think it would succeed at that? Come on. Copilot is for entertainment purposes only!

Listen, one does not simply walk into a new project without naming it properly. It's your precious!

China has a minimum purchase price of corn that's set by the government in order to maintain food stocks. It's also part of a larger jobs program (that I don't know much about). Ch…

This assumes that these companies aren't going to use smaller providers or hosting models themselves. THAT is the great big assumption going into all the Big AI funding. I think it…

How can people afford to use Claude Code like this‽ Is everyone just playing with it on their employer's dime or what?

> What makes you think the us army would unite against them? I'd turn that around and ask, "What makes you think the people would accept the gun nuts rebellion?" Many would be cele…

I use bullet points a lot in my writing and it seems that , specifically is causing people to accuse me of either: * Being an AI bot. * Using an LLM to generate it. It's driving me…

If this ends up being true, desktop Linux adoption might make inroads. Windows apps run like crap on ARM and no one is bothering to make ARM builds of their software.

10,000 years of feast and famine . Until the enlightenment, people were basically just guessing and sharing anecdotes.

I have a PC hooked up to my TV in my living room that has been running the latest version of Kubuntu for over 18 years now. It has had many upgrades in that time but it's still the…

I honestly think VR hasn't taken off yet because every VR headset since forever has been a locked-down platform or not a stand-alone device (meaning: You need a powerful PC to use …

> No one wants to wear a PC on their faces. This has yet to be determined! Because no VR headset so far has actually been a proper PC. You can't develop on them. You can't just ins…

Exactly! There's vastly more software available for Linux than there is for Windows and the Linux experience is vastly superior. It's a real-world example of "more software == bett…

FYI: This is usually solved by placing a fan on the floor in front of your boundary (designated play area). This isn't just a "community tip", it's been studied: https://www.comput…

They're not all deranged! Some are completely productive, functional furries. Probably. Maybe. Also, your statement is far too reductive! There's plenty of avatars with scales! Als…

They just used their war chest to buy a bunch of companies to diversify their revenue stream. It's not like Meta made some massively profitable innovations or new services.
