I'm growing increasingly convinced Fedora Silverblue is the future and most end-user "noob friendly" distros will be using its model by default in 10 years.

Man, that's just a bad precedent. Space shifting should still apply to the internet and digital files.

Yes, but how can end users opt out of using Cloudfare?

by Andrex 3y ago
Easy to say don't use Chrome, harder to say don't use Cloudfare. And if we're taking things to task for monopolizing a market and being a threat to the future of the open internet, I'd say Cloudfare is and will always be

Well that's a hell of a specific block message. Always interested in checking out new Linux distros but not interested in drama.

I haven't gone super-super-deep into Ghibli but I feel confident saying either My Neighbor Totoro or Spirited Away. Be careful to keep your expectations straight for any of the Ghibli films you watch after Spirited Away though, because

Combine an LLM with long-term memory formation/recollection and a protracted (~18 year?) incubation period where it interacts with the outside world, and... the line between AI and consciousness would be pretty blurry at that point.

Hadn't heard of qemu (in this context), I'll take a look, thank you!

I keep meaning to research this, and maybe this isn't the right place, but how are things going for Linux executables? Last I tried Linux on ARM it seemed like application-level support for ARM was very spotty. It doesn't seem lik

I think Dunkin can be good but knowing which franchises are the "good ones" takes trial and error.

They changed this with PS5 to use the western configuration, even in Japan. The reactions from Japanese gamers were quite humorous. “At last they’re making it uniform? Japan has been defeated.” “Yep, trash.” “Sony traitors.” “This is a bull

That depends on the jurisdiction, but in my view I err on the side of "but it's necessary." A society without copyright would be a much poorer one, and humans figured that out a long time ago.

> I’m not fully familiar with its history, but from what I understand Tencent added more and more “apps” to their chat app and eventually let third parties into it. This is exactly what Facebook did in 2010: we also had third party “apps

Google Search could still show ads, but they'd need to evaluate which ad exchange to use, of which Google Ads would only be one option.

XMPP was either the wrong protocol for the right time, or the right protocol for the wrong time. I'm still not sure.

Sharply increasing suicide rates among teens due to social media isn't something to just shrug off, either.

It's about focus and knowing your limits, which is always going to be difficult to self-determine. I thought getting rid of streaming services would make me want to read more, but I found other ways to be distracted. Definitely, humans

I suppose we're going to see the nuclear debate play out as an A/B test with the US vs. the countries mentioned. Should be some interesting data eventually.

I went from hacking up the source HTML files I designed on Geocities and uploading them to Freewebs (so I could remove the linkback/ads) and it worked really well for a while. Then I wanted dynamic stuff and PHP was perfect. Eventually

Honestly a lot of website names were super weird back then, I wouldn't have blinked an eye if "dairyland" really was the name of a popular 90's site.

Something something "Mark of the Beast" etc. TBH though evangelicals should be pushing hard for it, theoretically they won't even be around for the fallout.

Seems like the successor the crypto craze after that crashed. I'm expecting a wave of grifters fairly soon.
