If a programmer ends up in jail, it is kind of important to know why, so we can assess if we want to run/use their software. So without writing the details I found out, the alleged crime (if it is the same person) is a crime we as soci

Back when I still made ANSI art, a couple of UNIX Ansi art editors were around, but I used ACiDDraw [1] in (probably, don't remember) Dosbox. Kind of like I used hkSFV for a long, long time. No GUI utility came close, feature-wise. Alt

There's very good OCR models. Then it becomes a matter of which letter is which. In Latin script there's only 26 possibilities, and then there's numbers and symbols. 1) https://mistral.ai/news/mistral-ocr

These were PS4 Slim, not PS5. IIRC they were sitting next to the energy company, tapped illegal electricity, and hidden that fact (the energy company's involvement was under investigation). Criminals don't play fair. Diablo 3 was

For ICE as well: best to leave, unless you plan to do subversion from within. Ie. you can be the eyes and ears for the general public. You can be the whistleblower. You can be the leaker. You can use the breaks when needed. You can add ch

I don't like it. All kind of legit services use email, such as Steam when you made a purchase, or health service. The idea that they won't move the weight of the loss to you, is ludicrous. Ergo, price goes up, and you either get p

Nathan Flutebox Lee and Beardyman @ Google, London [1] is one of my favs. At the time it was available on 'Google Video' before they acquired YouTube. So I don't have a link to the orig. post. SPOILER: especially that theme w

All I see is valid criticisms which 'builders' can take at face value. Criticism shouldn't demotivate them, it should empower them. At worst, it is defamation and BS. If it is good, constructive criticism (which I see a lot o

The blacklisting feature of Kagi is a killer feature to me. I also like to pin Wikipedia to the top. It baffles my mind this ain't possible in Google. And while I pay for using Kagi, I still have to say the most interesting (and most e

I consider businesses who do this to track customers naughty, and I find their behaviour childish (scriptkiddie level). Therefore, 'not allowed' is exactly the phrasing I like to use in this context, and readers are expected to un
