And gone again (only IPv6 addresses there now are in the pages block). A short lived test? Or a bug/misconfiguration? GitHub has had no shortage of the latter unfortunately.

Arguably killed WebSQL and Java applets, for some past examples. Currently it's why WebUSB is not getting picked up by Safari/Firefox.

The big feature over other new formats is compatibility with legacy JPEGs. You can (simplified) take the raw data from a legacy JPEG, reformat it as a JPEG XL, and achieve like 20-30% filesize savings without any actual re-encode, just bett

The value of the deed is it being backed by the legal system as proof of your ownership, up to potentially being enforced with government use of physical force.

This sounds like a smart idea. That's probably why the NFT hype train didn't do it.

It is bad for this guys business to admit it’s unethical and probably has a time limit, so he doesn’t. There’s no big mystery there. If he’s unethical to his victims/spam targets, why would you think his marketing of all things would b

Are you confusing llama (the model from meta that popularised a lot of open AI stuff but is quite dated now) and ollama (the set of tools for running models, originally llama but no longer limited to it, not maintained by meta)

Well either they can handle this load that Microsoft can't, or they can't. If Microsoft are going to continue to be unreliable in the absence of the rate limit then: If alternatives can handle the load, those who would consider th

I remember in 2024 passing over codeberg as the host for some of my personal projects because of the uptime. I don’t think Codeberg’s uptime has gotten any better but despite that it’s getting a lead over GitHub now.

For me the big reason I use OpenRouter rather than the providers directly is the ability to cap spending. With OpenRouter I can top up by $50, change models on a whim and if some agent loop goes out of control and generates a ton of tokens,

I can still use Claude via openrouter. Anthropic blocked using your Claude code subscription via other harnesses but you can still use pay as you go API billing.

Not the same company but similar discussions here: - It was believed that GitHub would be more reliable than our self hosted Gitlab CI runners. This has proven to be very false. - It was believed it would be easier to write tooling. I’m not

Then Gimp is the wrong tool for you. You’re using a excavator to pull out weeds. Use Pinta or KolourPaint instead.

by Macha 2mo ago
I honestly think a lot of the hate that GIMP gets is because as the first major FOSS image editor, people tried to use it for everything with a lot of square hole round peg situations. In particular, it’s a photo editor at core. You can use

No you can get literally unsolveable captchas with cloudflare. You tick the box and it just refreshes and displays the unticked box again. Or people it on gateway endpoints that just return plain text errors (Humble does this).

One of my biggest annoyances about my iPad is how much less effective the content blockers on Safari are than on real Firefox and ublock origin that I have on my Android phone and had on my previous windows tablet. Also iOS “Firefox” can’t

Ireland has a PPS number which everyone who’s ever had a job or claimed government benefits has. The union of those sets is basically everyone. Clearly that hasn’t helped.

My friends are. But then it's not cold. The problem is way more people are convinced (or just hoping, or just setting off an automated system that is even less discriminating than that) that I am interested in their product than I have

Humble quite frequently locks me out with theirs and all support ever does is “have you updated your browser and restarted your router?” - it’s clear the agent has no idea what a cloudflare is and it’s not in their list of acceptable escala

I suspect most enterprises aren’t Claude-ing up in house replacements for tools like this, for the same reason most enterprises are using cloud providers rather than managing their own data centers. A big part of what they’re paying for is

At the very minimum, the company acknowledges the union and negotiates with the union for working conditions for union members. It’s quite common that that also extends to negotiation on salary bands, and it’s also quite common the company

And then people will move to a new solution. I think this is a pragmatist vs idealist debate. The pragmatic answer is that Anubis solves a problem now, and so it will be used until either it doesn't or a better solution presents itself
