Sorry about your connotations. I just needed a simple term to express "actions that are against the implicit social contract and harm the rest of society". Of course pinning down what exactly this should encompass is hard, which i

Our laws only work because of a hidden assumption that trivial or victimless crimes won't be prosecuted. This assumption isn't always upheld, but automatic surveilance would break it pretty much every time. Even if our laws were a

Actually it does affect me, as I do use Codeberg. And even if I didn't, your comment is pretty much equivalent to "mind your own business" and about as rude. We are all free to complain about things across the world, no?

I'm upset because I strongly prefer rules to be unambiguous and enforceable. This is neither.

More spend doesn't equal more ads. Given a fixed number of ad spots, demand dictates the price advertisers would pay for ad placement. But ad platforms have no incentive to reduce the number of ads they show just because placement pric

It really matters which country you're talking about, because depending on that you'll get answers from "filming in public is effectively forbidden" to "film and publish whatever you want".

Pretty easily - I don't think reading a medical text from the 19th century will give you up-to-date information. I'd agree that the concept doesn't apply to fiction , though.

Sorry, I was looking at the non-pro variant by mistake.

They're also bigger than the base Samsung S26. They're not small even in comparison to other Android phones.

Of course, it's never impossible for the user to click a button. They can click on anything under their cursor. The key is giving them feedback to show them what their clicks will do or just did. If you can update the visuals within

It sounds like your scheme would only allow browsing the "adult web" on locked-down, unmodified devices running government-approved software. Frankly, that's worse than even requiring ID.

Please don't declare software "completely useless" just because it lacks a feature you need. I personally also need hiking trails on my map, but I know people who don't and happily use CoMaps.

There would be a bunch of value in having, say, a good 30B-class model that used my local language as well as it does English. There's lots of cases, especially in the government sphere, where local processing is a requirement and fron

I haven't ever heard of an SoC supplier demanding that the device's bootloader must be locked. Are you sure that this is happening? I've only ever seen devices delete first-party blobs, presumably of the manufacturer's o

New Zealand, along with Australia, shares a lot of its urbanism with the US and Canada. In the rest of the (urbanised) world, I'd say it's expected to be able to walk to stores, especially in cities. It's interesting to pon

Closed-source projects have been dealing with this forever, by having a mostly-static pool of employees replenished through job listings and interviews. A FLOSS project adopting this model would certainly feel weird, but could work if there

As far as I know, speculative decoding still verifies that the proposed tokens are what the "big" model would generate, it just uses the guesses to make that process faster. Setting the probability threshold too low then shouldn&#

I'm convinced that in the billions of people living on Earth, there are a couple million that could agree on things that currently divide countries, like this. Sadly they're unlikely to ever be able to gather together in a singl

Despite what "far-right" groups may claim, politics isn't one giant us-versus-them war; I refuse to stoop down to their level. The US right likes to call their opponents pedophiles, but it would be ridiculous for anyone to ad

This seems like it needs a regional distinction. I regularly do this since cars do reliably stop/slow down (in Prague, and not right in front of cars).

No, there's a trust-on-first-use procedure where you have to accept the computer's key on your phone.

That only holds if you believe the market has a high level of efficiency. Maybe if we wait long enough, the distribution of devices being manufactured will match consumer preferences, but I don't believe that to be the case today. The

Well, before Apple, most phones were appliances with fixed software; there was no openness to speak of. That said, I wish they hadn't continued this trend and instead took inspiration from Windows Mobile.

You talk about "an Android that has a replaceable battery" as if that was something you could just buy at any store at no inconvenience. Sadly the majority of Android phones no longer have user-replaceable batteries, and only a se

The reasonable takeaway from that correlation is that people with preexisting issues turn to ergonomic keyboards to avoid worsening those issues, not the other way round.

Over a week or two that will accumulate enough error to make me miss a tram. Of course, you could just re-set the time every week, but there's your downside.

Eh, XML is as much of a superset of JSON as the Turing machine is a superset of context-free grammars. The former has all the _power_ of the latter and more, but the mapping between them is non-trivial, far from an embedding. I think it&#x2

Do you consider high working hours to be a benefit akin to higher pay? I think fewer hours and less money is a fair deal for employees.

by dvdkon 7mo ago
I don't think it's a superset. You can represent any structs-and-arrays data in XML, but you have to make non-trivial mappings to make it work. The obvious way is to use elements for everything, but then you're mapping both s
