It's very hard to untangle it from the rest of its context (the prompt is built dynamically, from a lot of parts, some project-specific, some specific to my preferences, some built from interaction history), so I can't really shar

I use their API for several models, both for personal and professional use. I think their approach (smaller, specialised models that are well-adapted for specific tasks) is a very good fit for how I work. And even the more general-purpose o

Yeah, the Arch wiki is the Gentoo wiki we lost. I was around for it and the Gentoo wiki was amazing , it was one of the best Linux resources all-around, it was tremendously useful even if you didn't use Gentoo.

"Right" is a bit of a stretch. Manicured screenshots are a tiny subset of theming requirements. People went to great lengths to theme GTK because, for the longest time, Adwaita was truly atrocious, with poor contrast in inactive w

These aren't local credentials, these are credentials from various third-party websites that made their way into stealer logs. Garbled or not, using your personal email address for both legitimate purposes (e.g. Google Calendar, as t

Ah, I thought you meant what sites list the stolen credentials. The exact overlap of websites across four separate stealer logs is enough to leak an email address pretty reliably. The only thing that's "telling" for is that t

They're linking to the original source of the news, which literally names "the sites".

Yeah, inputing "secure credentials" traceable directly to you with what you'd hope is a bogus password is a very bad idea, especially if you're doing highly secure work.

Oh, wow, have we come full circle -- from Apple breaking the law in a jurisdiction where they do business to, err, Cyprus, and Europe, and... Ivan the Terrible having somehow become a woman for half a sentence? Touch some grass, mate, Apple

I see we're back to Coca Cola, McDonalds and Burger King. Oh, and Meta, somehow? This is about Apple, I think you're in the wrong thread.

The root of yours is that you keep trying to make this about McDonalds, Amazon, Ebay, Costco or some other contraption instead of the App Store, which is what this is actually is about. Not that the argument matters, because the exact momen

I am sure they will be, I'm just saying that a Western front will be extremely different from the Ukrainian front, especially in the Baltics, where #3 is particularly salient. So I would recommend caution when applying over-arching les

It's not my comparison. It's yours, and just as meaningless as your previous one about McDonald's. This one's no better, either, as Costco's terms for its wholesale suppliers aren't anywhere close to Apple&#x27

No, they did the equivalent of saying to Coca-Cola if you discover a customer via the App Store then you cannot tell them they can buy Coca-Cola from outside the App Store, too, a decidedly anti-competitive practice that also happens to be

Except Apple tried to exert control over that, which is exactly what they got fined for, because it's illegal.
