More broadly—and at least in online spaces—I often notice that many vocal proponents of atheism exhibit traits typically associated with religious behaviour: - a tendency to proselytise - a stubborn unwillingness to genuinely engage with op

If it is a single binary, replace the current with the previous. If it is deployed as folders, install new versions as whatever.versionnumber and upgrade by changing the symlink that points to the current version to point to the new one.

Sadly, in many ways, that’s true. They entered the Second World War as allies of Nazi Germany. When Germany inevitably turned on them, it was we—the collective West, with my own country playing a significant and costly role—who helped drag

An interesting approach, as it doesn’t, like many of the other proposed solutions, make us blindly rely on AI companies to somehow devise a watermarking system that actually works—i.e. one that doesn’t end up making catastrophic, career-end

Interesting UX decisions and Gnome have gone hand in hand since I first came across it. The earliest one I remember was when they discovered spatial memory and promptly decided that, by default, every Nautilus folder should open in a new to

Of all the things you've mentioned, the only one that genuinely stands out to me as a positive contribution from Google—something that wouldn’t have happened had Chrome never existed—is the codec situation. They leveraged their scale a

Yep. It is one of my life hacks: when I know I can/have to bake in the morning I find it much easier and much more enjoyable to get up at 0500. (Before I used two alarms, one that could only be defused with a barcode next to the sink o

Try Marginalia :-)

Not GP but I have used Marginalia + DDG until 3 years ago and Kagi since then.

This has been going on for over a decade for me now (I know because I blogged about it at the time). For years I used DDG, not because it was better, but it wasn't worse and I wanted to support competition. Then I started using Margin

Which is the point: The link between the names only exist in English and German. In other European languages it is typically called either something that sounds like Pesach or it is called something related to the story of Christ.

In Norwegian and Danish it is påske and in Swedish it is påsk.

With Easter, unlike Christmas, there isn't the same doubt about which time of year it was as it was around the time of the (much) older Jewish Passover celebration.

by eitland 1y ago
Remember, Easter is only called Easter (or something similar) in a few languages, I'm only aware of English and German (Oster).

You are watching this through English language glasses and it also seems you haven't thought this through: In every European language I checked except German, Easter is named something completely different. Either something that sounds

As has already been mentioned by others mostly everything except the name is different. When it comes to the name, the name isn't anything similar in for example Nordic languages: Påske (Norwegian, Danish) or påsk (Swedish). Finnish se

I think it is interesting that you think everything Google does is kind of more ok just because you think it is limited to cookies while simultaneously being extremely skeptical towards Kagi, not giving them the slightest benefit of doubt.

Search isn't getting limited is it? And the GPT features always had some limits.

For myself at least I agreed to the original price. If more features are added and I don't use the but other people do, as long as the features I pay for stays, I'm happy.
