Your comment reminded of the youtuber who changed the shop signs in his video into scary non-English script: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPZxMVpnCBM Edit: Changed to link I like a bit more

Anything else worth considering other than youtube (or self-hosting if scale isn't an issue)?

Apparently you can turn it on with about:config / dom.webgpu.enabled But personally, I'm not going to start turning on unsafe things in my browser so I can see the demo. I tried firefox and chromium and neither worked so pfft, wha

I'm fairly agnostic to the headline question of whether social media should be banned for under 16s. The part that seems interesting to me is whether this will entail linking online activity to real world identity for the rest of us. I

If you read the comments with the other interpretation I think the conversation will make more sense.

I suppose, if you interpret "avoid" as "not care about".

My reading is not that they're saying it's something they necessarily have deal with themselves, but that it's something they can't practically avoid.

So I guess my next question is, why are all your recent comments saying things that are obviously and unambiguously not true? These things are all trivial to check, and it's not like nobody is calling you out on it. I don't get wh

Do you have a link about the case you're quoting? I can't find any reference to it.

As a long-time Linux user I've also felt an incongruity between my own experiences with Wayland and the recent rush of "year of the Linux desktop" posts. To be fair, I think the motivation is at least as much about modern Win

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 25.10, and decided to give Wayland another go since X.org isn't installed by default anymore. Good news: My laptop (Lenovo P53) can now suspend / resume successfully. With Ubuntu 25.04 / Wayland

I've dodged multiple work opportunities on ethical grounds, although I can only think of one time where it was a big deal (I think we had to turn down a client because I declined to work on it).

I'm wondering if you missed that the site has checkboxes for "No charge" and "FOSS".

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HIS BODY!? Edit: I don't know about these specific lines, but this script was co-written by the great and recently deceased Tom Stoppard

The issue here is, "physical" is a misleading word. Digital works are also held on physical media. The distinction is whether the work is stored on a dedicated physical object. Edit: I suppose a jukebox confuses things as I thin

The thing is, what you want is specifically a relationship where you are not vulnerable. If you're not worried about the consequences of the things you say, there's no actual vulnerability. You're just adapting to a safe

When I was at school (and in the 20th century generally) admitting to anything outside traditional masculinity / heterosexuality made you vulnerable to physical / verbal attack. Which remains the case for a lot of people in the 21

I do. I find interviewing pretty awkward and am happier if I can find something interesting to talk about. I'm bad at maintaining my own blog though.

Maybe, but what the article is really about is how these two people responded to being marked for greatness at a young age. I don't see a reason to disbelieve that part.

As I read it, the author is presenting a positive assessment of Kim Ung-yon's life in contrast to his negative assessment of Christopher Langan's.

Out of interest, do you identify any of the comments in this discussion as that kind of posturing? The "pro-EA" comments I see here seem (to me) to be fairly defensive in character. Whereas comments attacking EA seem pretty stride

(Sincerely) good luck with that, but I don't see why it means we should be against saving the lives of poor people in the immediate term. At some point we might just have to put it down to irreconcilably different mental wiring.
