none of the metrics it decides by are related at all to software - they're all management terms what a waste of time

Good distros should backport updates like this - the patch has been merged into several downstreams. Whilst I prefer a rolling release, this isn't the reason to do it. You could even be on a rolling release that is behind (like arch -

the value of the _US_ has weakened significantly in the eyes of the rest of the world due to the great orange muppet - if y'all don't like it, get rid of the useless skinflap.

spoken like a true non-software-dev. If your ai is making the actual decisions behind your code - you (a) don't know what you're doing anyway and (b) will end up with a ball of mud. The whole point of ai _assistants_ is to fill in

yeah, the gmail dots-alias thing is a fucking nightmare I haven't been scammed like this, but I know to check for stray dots in incoming mail's To field because there's someone who was granted my email (with a period in it) a

yeah, now we wait for the rebound, as companies discover that coding is definitely NOT "solved".

A QR code to defeat bots? what's next? spaghetti to defeat italians? what's stopping ai agents from reading, decoding, and following the QR code? Nothing in the article gives me any confidence whatsoever.

the best idea I can suggest is to set up a virtual debit/credit card, if your bank permits it - for example, I have one which I keep at a level that's enough to pay for my monthly patreons, etc, but which will not pay when it hits

in addition, this doesn't take into account that there are a plethora of expensive, big, petrol/diesel cars for which there is no electric equivalent. There are lies, and then there are statistics.

what is the point of the "no cheating" redirect? I had to stop an infinite loop of that bullshit, but I guess that's inline with LLM slop.

why would I trust a site with a built-in FOMO generator? https://imgur.com/a/eJMBxO0 <- this thing just resets when I refresh the page. A company which is dishonest from the start will continue to be dishonest going

I hate that ICE doesn't just mean internal combustion engine - thought this would be about a "national" british engine, but instead it's just people being assholes.

I didn't move from FAANG, but a very similar equivalent in my home country. I saw people "golden handcuffed" all the time, and the honest truth is that you have to decide what's more important to you - spending cash on v

What even is the point of a limit if it's just going to auto-raise? Now you can end up in the situation of owing that. Perhaps you forget that the agent is running in the background somewhere for a while. Or perhaps you end up with a v

I don't see the need (or indeed any point) of ai in this app as per the stated functions. Pity a useful app is just a cover for enshittification.

I think a system is _always_ defined by its constraints. Not so much its components. Perhaps its features? But not components. No-one gives a flying fux if you're using postgres or mysql or some other hippie database. That's a com
