I mostly use Gemini and I basically treat it like a Google search most of the time. I find all the pronouns and sentence structure is usually completely unnecessary. Every now and then Gemini decides I'm doing something unsafe and I ne

Yeah, what an absolutely awful idea it was to add a shitcoin to a private messaging app. I stopped donating to Signal when they added it and I can't imagine I'm the only one.

Quite a blast from the past! I actually remember the arrival of Nautilus and how nice it was compared to the other similar utilities of the day. It looks quite different these days, as GNOME has now flattened the heck out of everything (f

They help me most when using a framework, API, or language I'm not super familiar with. Beats stack overflow for that stuff. But it's weird to me seeing people talk about these changing their jobs so much. Maybe I'm holding i

Yes. This is the key piece to understand this "paradox": > you arrive at a random time So, um, if you intend to take public transit, it's best to not arrive at a random time. Looking at the time tables and planning a

As an owner of a System76 laptop I'm really conflicted on this stuff. On the one hand, I'm glad to see developer attention given to the Linux desktop. I use and like GNOME well enough, but it's great to see competition and in

Agreed, it seems the "big deal" here is using a rust-native toolkit, iced[0], rather than just slapping together another reskinned gtk-based solution like most similar submissions do. So this is potentially a really cool thing, no

I suspect part of this is that "news junkies" are also more inclined to be "likely voters" and vice-versa, so you have some selection bias towards these people in the electorate.

Indeed there are highly valuable experts at Intel - there have to be, for them to function at all. They're an engineering company making incredibly complex products, unlike Twitter which just sold ads. But there are also likely to be c

YouTube music actually has the ability to set how this works with its "radio" feature. You can set the seed artists, then select levels for "artist variety" and "music discovery." You can also filter based on t

> Why do people keep mislabeling this as Open Source? I guess this is a rhetorical question, but this is a press release from Meta itself. It's just a marketing ploy, of course.

Yes, the kneejerk reaction against FF here isn't really thinking things through. Mozilla has to walk this tight rope since ad companies own the web already. Realistically, the best outcome at this point is that enough users are willing

Yeah, there's a recurring meme that all VR/AR needs is some "killer app" to show up and suddenly break through to the mass market. The device is simply far too expensive. No software is going to meaningfully change the v

If you're only working on Linux, you almost surely want waypipe [0] instead of xpra. If you need support for other platforms, though, xpra is still a pretty good solution. [0] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mstoeckl&#x2

The config option called MaxStartups accepts a tuple to set 3 associated variables in the code. It wasn't clear to me which value people were referring to.

A spicy take, but there's some truth to it. This class of vulnerability is way more important for PAAS providers that run workloads from multiple untrusted sources on the same hardware. Running with mitigations=off on a single user wor

This reads like the Nirvana Fallacy to me [0]. Will this move solve the problem? No, but what alternative are you comparing it to where it fares so poorly? I suspect even the staunchest proponents of unregulated construction of denser housi
