Mozilla has been a horrible steward for their project. They receive hundreds of millions of dollars a year and I have no idea where this money goes. It also doesn't help that their organization is full of purity testing and social acti

you just don't understand how markets work. if openai slows down then they will just be driven out by competition. that's fine if that's what you think they should do, but that won't make ai any safer, it will just kill

if you think that china can't get access to gpus because the united states says so then you are incredibly naive. of course they can get access to gpus. they could buy them on the black market or buy them through another country or jus

they are already doing this. even if you don't give this to them they will just make it themselves. keeping it hidden doesn't prevent china from doing bad things. this doesn't keep this power out of the hands of china it just

how are you planning on using this with epubs? i'm in a similar boat. would really like to leverage something like this for ebooks.

I've got to say it really doesn't surprise me that the guy behind the worldcoin scam may have been operating in less than scrupulous ways in his other endeavors.

yeah totally. i've been a secret underground reddit employee posting on hacker news for years just laying in wait for the perfect opportunity to shill for reddit on a random jellyfin thread that will disappear within a few hours on a r

yes, that is where the lion's share of people are. on places like reddit and twitter. most people aren't on random web forums or mastadon instances. if you are trying to grow your reach, expand your community, and have presence ou

>Not the first time you've seen them since then, then. the only reason i know about that blog post is because they stickied it on their locked subreddit. i didn't stumble upon it out in the greater internet.

by coconut08 3y ago
yeah i mean if they want to remove themselves from the internet and go off on their own to die that's their choice to make. certainly not what is best for the health and reach of the project though.

I was following jellyfin closely since the day that it forked off from emby. I was active in the reddit community and was in the loop on everything that was happening there. then they decided to shut down the subreddit and it might has well

i would pay more money to not have to put my credit card into or attach my identity to 100 different random websites all of which almost certainly have worse security practices than amazon and many of which absolutely will have that data st

can you give a few examples where you would think that kagi wouldn't be able to match google?

by coconut08 3y ago
you just listed a bunch of corporations that subsidise the lower subscription cost by monetizing people's data which kagi promises not to do. not only that you listed a bunch of billion and trillion dollar corporations that have money

mullvad has one of the best reputations in the entire consumer vpn space. they were one of if not the very first businesses to accept bitcoin back in 2010 when no one knew what bitcoin was and before the word crytpo existed or anyone was in

no one flippantly calls game of thrones or rated r movies porn even though many of them have a far larger ratio of sex and nudity to non-sex sex and nudity scenes than you will find in fate/stay night. fate stay night is a 90 hour visu

...? podman has been around for years and has been slowly increasing users for years. it is the exact opposite of a flash in the pan.

wow that sounds like an interesting solution!

yeah imagine a world where you could use time machine to backup 500gb parallels volumes where only the diff was stored between snapshots rather than needing to back up the whole 500gb volume every single time.

you are correct about fractional scaling being suboptimal and there are a few quirks here and there but linux has become largely usable at this point. most of the criticisms you have made about linux are due to inexperience and not being fa

The original sense of open source is defined by the people who fractured off from the Free Software movement in the mid 90's and created it. It's just "Free Software" that has a focus on practicality and utility rather t

they do not use winetricks. they built their own system for installing dependencies and managing prefixes. you are right that it fills the same role, but that's not what you asked. it also does a lot more than just the things that wine

Wow that is actually super rude. I paid 500 dollars for crossover and tried to use it and found that it lacked features that bottles offered. To flippantly call it a clone and imply that it doesn't offer anything special is really unne
