It's obvious with hindsight, but I had never realised that that is why they're called radio buttons!

It would be interesting to know if it can get into a looping state after which it just repeats previous moves forever. I guess that would be an “end” of sorts.

Does “everything works” mean that for you, close to zero effort will be required over the next 6/12/18/24/36 months? Because my problem isn’t finding a way to be happy with a Linux setup at a point in time but finding a

Agree. I also use an iPhone. I have a Pixel running Graphene (I refuse to do Googled Android, or Chrome) and I want to like it, I really do, but I always go back to the iPhone. I don’t feel like a cult member (that’s what they all say…). I’

I dunno, I bought a MacBook Pro because: - I cannot stay happy with a WM/DE config on Linux. Most of then can’t even render a desktop at a reasonable size (or even consistent across all apps) - I like the hardware and I’m not particula

I'd much prefer a TV that was transparent when switched off over the giant black rectangle of doom in my living room. I find myself switching it on to have the Apple TV screensaver instead, just because it's so imposing otherwise.

Not really, you just have to look a bit harder. Perhaps a greater percentage of the people, projects, and attention are part of the “parasite” as you put it, but that was my point: while it is bad, and something we should work to minimise,

It’s more important to have an unstoppable digital store of value than to stop people getting scammed. Sure would be nice to have fewer scammers, and we should try. I, too, detest many of the actors in the space, the whole number-go-up get-

I dunno. I could imagine replacing my iPhone and my laptop with something Rabbit sized and a lightweight set of AR glasses. But they need far more than the toy “OS” that Rabbit are demonstrating.

I have so far run it on my M1 MacBook using llamafile [1] and found it to be great. Is there any speed/performance/quality/context size/etc. advantage to using LLM Studio or any of the other *llama tools that require mor

It’s also possible to split your seed phrase into n pieces, requiring m of them to recover it, and give those pieces to third parties. You don’t need to trust any individual or entity, but together they can get your keys if you lose the

The problem is that most “professional” developers — i.e. people who write software as a career — are terrible at those things. Even (especially, sometimes) those that call themselves Software Engineers and talk endlessly about the right wa

With i3/Sway having the limitation of 1 workspace per monitor AND each app only being in 1 workspace, I could still use that logical splitting at times even on normal 16:9 displays.

Seek better advice than the LLM, if the discrepancy remaining unresolved is problematic enough for you.

Roughly speaking, my Sway config: - Assigns most apps to a specific workspace - Assigns the standard hotkeys to focus specific workspaces - Assigns a hotkey for Rofi to filter and focus apps directly - Assigns hotkeys to move a workspace to

It's exactly how it works but only if you have mutliple screens. My comment was that, for this reason, 2 or 3 smaller (ish- ~27") 16:9 4k screens [1] (previously, 4–6 even smaller 4:3 screens) works much better for me because I ca

Why is it “yours”? Why is there any innate right to control what happens to information once someone knows it?

The advantage I've found with multiple monitors is the ability to independently switch the "desktop" that's showing on each. I can have a desktop for coding, a desktop for reference docs and previews, another for working

I’m not sure it’s so black and white. Reading yourself (at whatever level you are capable of and can tolerate) followed by asking an LLM to highlight any areas of the terms that are non-standard, may cause concern, could be restrictive, or

Or: Apple's servers are serving APIs on the public internet and which clients a user chooses to connect to them with is no concern of Apple's, and any attempt to block certain clients is clearly anti-consumer and anti-competitive…
