Part of art is the process of creating it. It’s not just the physical artifact, nor even just the completion of the final product. The inspiration, subject matter, the consideration of form, the initial concepts, the redesigns, the meaning

I don’t see users with ‘khuzdul’, ’sindarin’, or ‘quenya’ either.

I think you’re reading “sceptic” as “septic”. They are not the same word.

I get these all the time. The most fun was probably when I was given and building layout, door at which to arrive, schedule, and security information to get into a pro sports arena for a game as an employee of some vendor. The least fun was

What a designer might call nostalgia an actual user of an OS might call standard, or maybe even intuitive. The point of an operating system is to be used. If it’s pretty, that’s a bonus. Usability by the target audience is the primary conce

I have an Android phone. It’s really not a replacement for a Macbook Pro though.

My mac opens Music for func + enter. Sometimes I accidentally have the function button held down as I hit enter. Then whatever app I’m trying to use to type loses its focus to this app I never use.

You make a strong point. Large parts of a decision like this have less to do with what you can get from the community, but what you have person-hours available to do with it. The core team is pretty small, and a lot of these automatically c

Sometimes it’s even more like “free kudzu”.

Some authors and UX designers to give away at least part of their work for free. The point of OSS though isn’t that nobody gets paid. It’s that if they charge for contributions, they get paid to release their work as Open Source software. T

Just donate your tokens to the project. The actual team that’s actually leading the project can direct the prompts better and evaluate the LLM-generated code better for their project than random drive-by contributors can. That’s the whole p

Encourage forks and wait for actual experienced, committed maintainers of the fork to emerge I suppose is the way. In essence the maintainers are saying the path to trusted contributor and then to maintainer via outside unsolicited pull req

That’s the point here, though. The maintainers of Ladybird don’t want to be compelled to mentor people making throwaway contributions without a commitment to the project. It’s pretty frustrating to try to mentor an absentee mentee who isn’t

The point is this is a speaker, not a keyboard. A keyboard usually takes manual input from a human or from a cat. This is a speaker that, after an unauthenticated connection, can act as if it’s a keyboard, which is an unintended functiona

It’s possible at this price point that it’s a normally decent keyboard but with horrible quality control.

I’ve heard the keyboards were hit and miss, from shit to halfway decent. I got one I consider halfway decent. It’s pretty good, really, for what the Pinebook and Pinebook Pro were meant to be. I’ve never tried the webcam. The rest of the pa

Governments can be really good at setting incentives other than immediate profit. That’s where a lot of basic research and the growth of applied engineering toward future products happens.

The public of the US, China, Japan, the UK, and Canada at the very least contributed to every precursor to transformers in the history of AI. Public and private universities, government grants to them, government projects, prizes to governm

The original idea I think was they were biological components in a digital/biological computer complex. The Matrix sets up scenarios, and the human brains interact with them in human ways which are sometimes of use to the machines. Mea

This part specifically is a clear indication of a tendency to slide towards corporatism, in Mussolini’s sense.: > that this leads to “the reluctance of tech companies to criticize the U.S. government, and the government’s support for ex

The police are wrong of course to participate in targeted harassment. However, it’s not entirely wrong that this is a civil matter. There is a contract regarding this, and there was not normal criminal theft by deception or robbery by force

Unfortunately some of the SMPTE standards do cost money if one is not a member.

I think indentation tries to step towards an outline, but without the item indicators we’d use in an outline format. This might actually be a selling point for something like YAMLScript. https://yamlscript.org/

I use DuckDuckGo Browser, Firefox, and Chrome on Android pretty much in that order of preference. In both mobile mode and desktop mode all of these browsers support pinch zoom and two-finger drag scrolling. I have no problems with this site

I don’t know that it’s impossible without that. It’s certainly easier with it.

The systemd init system is quite the Trojan horse, though. I prefer it greatly to SystemV init. Most of the rest of systemd varies from unremarkable to problematic in my opinion. One bright spot is systemd-networkd allows one to change quit
