We've all spent time -fixing someone's bright idea of a -fix. I'm sceptical of the time saving of applying a -fix before I understand the problem(s). Outsourcing comprehension to a machine is probably gonna cost you more time

Couldn't find the about section. If you want users to invest their time just be honest about yourself, your goals for making the site and your tech stack. Obviously it is AI assisted design, but that dosen't mean it has to be shit

Imagine a world where Google executives made a different decision. Instead of playing catch-up on AI, making us all eat their dog food by filling search with confident sounding AI bullcrap, imagine a world where Google search tried hard to

Yeah can confirm Mint XFCE works well on low end devices. The only bug I encountered is backups quickly swamping available HDD space, but it runs fine with auto backups off.

Humans can sometimes find a needle in a haystack, but its impossible for us to find multiple needles in multiple haystacks and chain them together into an attack. AIs can work through a complex search space much more efficiently, that'

A 4gb unbidden download is insane! I'm still running machines with 30gb HDs. I blame the kids these days (waggles fist), downloading their Pokiman shows at 4-5gb a pop! No respect for their disk space limited elders. I'm actually

I think you're right about stickyness up to a point. Cultural defaults seem unchangeable but then suddenly everyone knows, that's everyone knows, that OpenAI is passé. OpenAI has a real chance to blow their lead, ending up in a he

Become a hermit kingdom to own the libs. At a certain point we have to ask: what is the point of politics? Who are we doing all this civilisation stuff for? Is a nation an engine of prosperity to enrich the lives of its people, or a life su

Crappy as a .jpg, only bigger. Actually, I remember when JPEG XL came out, and I just thought: cool, file that one away for when I have a really big image I need to display. Which turned out to be never. Names have consequences.

I disable everything that is of no direct benefit to me. It's shocking that so many companies don't make the case for the benefits of their systems at the on / off decision point. If you can't outline a positive benefit

Actual murderers get out in the time that Ross served. The concept of justice must include an element of proportionality, I would argue that Ross's sentence, for a first time non-violent criminal, was over the top. Without proportional

Anyone else recently tried to search for a location, even using keyword map, and still not be shown a Google Maps link? I would much rather be shown a map, than whatever BS AI generated dogwater summary they are dishing out instead. If Goog
