This is what autonomy and consent is all about.

That's a shame to hear. Seems software support is also an issue (I guess as it often is with mobile hardware).

I'd love a modern equivalent. Maybe have a look at the Gemini by planet computers. Isn't there something you can do with pihole to get browsing? I remember someone doing this where it removes adverts and compresses images for a

I started on the Psion 3a, then 5mx, Nokia E90, Nokia N900. And then sadly I ran out of good options. Nothing beats a good keyboard (though it does also need to be a good one). I would love another clamshell design, maybe with an e-ink disp

There's no doubt that this artist has lost something as a result of AI (the pleasure and enjoyment of their job). But we should also ask if we are at risk of losing something as a society.

That seems strange, odd to throw out all away at that stage, when all the work has already been done and the expense of typesetting it has already been paid. Getting it bound is relatively less, unless they wanted more than one copy. Maybe

I think this is the answer. A PhD becomes it's own monster. Several years dedicated to a single project, it becomes a personal part of your identity. The thought of allowing that to stand up against scrutiny to other professors is a

Maybe we should follow the unix philosophy with companies. Do one thing, and do it well, and seek to optimise compatibility rather than building huge monolithic companies that seek engulf everything smaller.

Yes, same for Linux. During lockdown my kids wanted to catch up with their friends by playing together on Minecraft, but as we had windows at home (and no switches in the store) it was a pain. Thank goodness for the work of someone called

Oh totally! I won't deny that mirrorless has some advantages, but it hasn't devalued dslr to the extent people think it has.

The software technology in the original pixel cameras were using multiple frames of varying exposure to allow for impressive dynamic range in images while still retaining colour and contrast. This is quite a difficult thing to do as requir

Anyone know if it's possible to run a modern distribution on this? I had a bit of difficulty running full-fledged Linux on a Thinkpad X60 due to it being 32bit. Linux mint debian edition came to my rescue, but I wonder if you'd

I use zz regularly, especially when taking notes, which tend to move the cursor towards the bottom of whatever you're using to write in. This is bad for your posture, so a regular 'zz' helps to keep my neck from straining.

Isn't WSL1 everything _but_ linux? I.e. more like gnu/WinNT.

I wish you all the best for the future and I'm sure you will find satisfaction in whatever path you pursue going forwards.

I'd say that minority (or even not-so minority in the case of women's) rights need to be defended by the majority/dominant group in order to be socially defendable. 78% supported same sex marriage in Ireland when it was lega

I used nvidia with linux >10 years ago. Never again. The FOSS philosophy doesn't mesh well with binary blobs and it never will.

Sounds like Windows needs this 200 line kernel patch that sped things up for linux in 2010 [1] "The patch being talked about is designed to automatically create task groups per TTY in an effort to improve the desktop interactivity unde

The hackernews meme a few years ago was about how Go could do no wrong, and any perceived deficiencies was it due to being opinionated. Maybe this is a backlash?

I agree. At least now the conversion can move to "what are the limits of free speech and why?". And I think anyone would be hard pushed to explain why journalists and people discussing other social media platforms should be a lim

My post is downvoted, and I agree with the replies, so I think I've been misunderstood. I'm saying he has rowed back on free speech absolutism (which I personally don't agree with anyway), to limits on free speech. And thos

Er, I think I have been misunderstood. I basically agree with you. There isn't a framework.

I get why snap is needed, but, like others, my experience has been poor. The first issue was Ubuntu 22.04 shipping the firefox snap only. It's ok for small occasional use programs that you need the bleeding edge version on. But it&#
