One possible reason: to achieve the performance improvements, we are seeing more integrated and soldered-together stuff, limiting later upgrades. The Framework Desktop from the modular, user-upgradeable laptop company, has soldered-on memor

He's talking about concert tickets and similar entertainment events, where several of the major providers no longer provide PDF tickets and instead only send them to a phone app. It is possible to make enough of a stink and collect tic

It really isn't that bad. I've never owned a smartphone, and can do everything I need through websites and the occasional phone call.

On top of all this, pretty much everything depends on Python (even glibc's build system depends on it now), and Rust is relatively hard to bootstrap. So bootstrapping a usable Python on glibc could one day involve bootstrapping all the

I agree. The thing with fountain pens that many sibling commenters miss is that they run the ink so much more smoothly, which means you can use much less force when guiding the pen. It's not just pining for the old ways but that the wr

The experience of watching local LLMs produce text has a similar vibe to those old modem links. Everything old is new again.

As a reasonable thing to ask a citizen to do? No. As a reasonable form of civil disobedience? No - better to use Garry's Mod or whatever to bypass it entirely.

It's only unnecessary if you assume the goal is actually protecting children, as opposed to entrenching even more data collection and identity tracking.

They said that about OpenID and now you have the choice of ~three bigtech ID providers.

Hybrid LANs are also pretty good. During the Christmas-New Year break, old school friends would often have a LAN party with ZeroTier or similar set up, so people who couldn't make it could still drop in and out. You'd get a great

I think because you're a new account and you're posting a lot of links, your posts are likely getting hidden. I've vouched for them where I can and hopefully other people with showdead on will see them and vouch for them too.

Haskell operators are generally well-chosen to have a consistent visual language: * $ is "function application" - f $ x = f x, but lets you elide nested parens: f $ g $ h x = f (g (h x)) * & is "reverse function applicati

Last time I tried to build guix without substituters, I got hash mismatches in several downloaded files and openssl-1.1.1l failed to build because the certificates in its test suite have all expired. Bootstrapping is really hard, really val

Focusing on the runtime's parser is a red herring and I think a common error in lisp advocacy. Even if I didn't the full power of a lisp macro system, it is an absolute joy to manipulate programs written in s-expressions. Being a

This undersells gptel.el, because IMHO it does a really good job of feeling emacs-native: you can read from the minibuffer or active region; send outputs to the message area, another buffer, or replace the marked region; use buffers or file
