They use it, but do they love it or do they feel like they need it to do their best work and stay ahead? I hate cars but I still drive to the office 1x / week because I have to.

You can absolutely do a chargeback months later. This is fraud, and credit card companies are usually very willing to address that! Typically they'll put the onus on Photobucket to…

I've suffered this several times over my now 25-year career, and the best answer I've found is therapy. Find a good[*] therapist and work with them, preferably every week, until yo…

This dude named a Python data analysis library after a retrocomputing (Commodore era) tape drive. He _definitely_ should stop trying to name things.

Spatial reasoning. (But we're working on it.)

Are they really open weights? Ministral 3B is "Mistral Commercial License".

Even the anthropomorphism argument doesn't hold up under close scrutiny. When I was in high school I was asked to memorize several poems, including a few that are under copyright t…

Pulley is mentioned a few times in the thread; seems legit but again I'm curious if anyone here has used any of these alternatives.

Does anyone have experience with a competitor that they like? Ledgy?

Time to request my data by email! I got ChatGPT to write me this, and submitted it using https://www.ksv.at/en/company/contact Subject: Request for Personal Data Access Under GDPR …

As well as the hurdles pointed out in the article, their Article 15 process (starting here: https://digitalerantrag.ksv.at/Dip/?request=auskunft-nach-ar... ) requires an Austrian m…

I deleted about 400 MB of files using the "Storage" page in the left sidebar of my Google Drive ( https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/quota ) and now I can edit my Sheet again. My "…

Yes, this is happening to me too. Last time I successfully edited a Google Sheet was this morning around 8 AM, and now (6 PM) it's broken. My "storage" page shows 18.86 GB of 28 GB…

Just don't call it a war dog! Boston Dynamics might get upset. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56182268

We've been shipping a Docker-based app to customers for years, and every now and then one of them runs a security scanner on our images. I have yet to see a scan that isn't a disas…

Yes, wow! As a Canadian I really appreciate the ability to donate in my own currency.

The product I work on is geared towards big corporate IT environments, and I can confirm that this sort of thing is not unusual at all. A recent support ticket went along the lines…

I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. I've been using this method on and off for years with great results. In fact I'm just finishing off eat…

This looks great but I don't see anything about pricing / business model, which worries me. Are they going to start charging for subscriptions once they're established? or insertin…

Smugmug haven't exactly been kind to the Flickr community - they walked back the "free forever" promises made by Marissa Meyer and deleted a lot of photos belonging to anyone who d…

I feel like this is the way of things with Slack: poorly implemented new features are introduced with no way to disable them, and a significant portion of their users end up needin…

A decentralized approach that doesn't depend on one corporate service remaining profitable (or one nonprofit remaining viable) would be great. The Zot protocol https://zotlabs.org/…

pip-compile (part of https://pypi.org/project/pip-tools/ ) provides a significantly better way to maintain a requirements.txt file: create a requirements.in that specifies only the…
