Given CSS rules, it would be simple using CSS light-dark() + variables instead of raw colors. I'm using Dark Reader since a long time now, but more and more often disabling it for some sites supporting HTML relatively recent additions.

Funny thing is that it could really have no class.

Its link hovering effect is probably the worst I've seen for a long time, not to mention the fact that it just makes it unreadable.

Those who contributed to making you forget how to control your feeds are now asking you to contribute to their insane feeds control factory.

Yeah... schools ARE social places. Jobs too. Personal computers at home were NOT. That's the point.

That's something about low-level feminism that has been making me furious for the past 10 years. Because these people didn't even live through that era, when most women only started taking an interest in personal computers once th

The best period of my life as a programmer. I've never stopped feeling nostalgic for the demoscene of the 80s and 90s. When we used to fight between Amiguys and Atarists. The Amiguys always won, of course. In fact, there was no real po

Everything in "Elite: Dangerous" is about getting scales right, contrary to most of its concurrent games. That was amazing from the beginning for planets scale, to systems scale, until you realize it is also right at galaxy scale.

Demoscene has always been about hacking machines to make them do what they're not supposed to do. I made a "Star Wars" scrolltext once, on a so-called "bazaar" screen with other effects... but it was on ST, kind of

I guess you already know "Dyson Sphere Program" (which is obviously not free software).

Halas, entanglement cannot be used for "instantaneous communications whatever the distance". This is a common misconception.

This kind of lazy lamer behaviour is so unlike Vulkan and hackers... Wait a minute. Where am I?

Whatever their positive or negative view, these posts about AI only make me sad here. Because AI relies on brute force. And at its roots, hacking is DEFINITELY NOT about it.

You should try to rewrite your article by stating "Ge2" ten times, and "Gr2" one time only.

Yes. People like to think in terms of 100% or 0%. Never anything in between. Even though almost everything falls somewhere in between. That's why I like bits and dislike q-bits, for example. The irony of my own statement dawned on me w

Sleep. Best side task for your brain. How many times has this happened to me? You struggle with a feature or a bug, you think about it, you weigh the pros and cons for hours... because you don't want to start something that will set yo

Now that makes more sense. And after all, I'm not surprised. When I read their long research PDFs, often finishing with a question mark about emerging behaviors, I knew they don't know what they are playing with, with no more cont

That I can get, but anything that’s not part of the prompt SHOULD NOT become part of the prompt, it’s that simple to me. Definitely not without triggering something.

I did not ask about what AI can do.

Wait… that's the specific question I had, because rendered text would require OCR to be read by a machine. Why would an AI do that costly process in the first place? Is it part of the multi-modal system without it being able to differe

I can't wait for that damn bubble to explode, really... This is becoming unbreathable for hackers.

Some say that we will disappear because of AI. They just hate coding.

Nice. Ironically, this is much like saving the planet by creating invaders… the hacker way, without using brute force AI. You deserve your upvote.

Yeah, that's right, we play the ideology card, the moral card, but still, we don't want to lose too much money. So no $, €, and so on...
