To be fair, I think just signing details about the way an image was assembled makes sense. Deciding on fake vs real doesn't have to be done at time of capture. We store things like the aperture size, sensitivity, camera name/model

Yeah I think the author made a mistake framing his idea as something bigger than it is. Basically only serves to draw that conclusion if he pitches it as a fight against big tech. But just saying people should homelab more is totally cromul

I think the point the author is trying to make is more so about these mini networks on their own LAN, which their family uses. (And maybe dreaming of a neighbourhood utility LAN as a middle ground between LAN in your house and WAN as just a

Boring in this case means something like "unmemorable" or "indiscernible". The great big dice roll that happens for everyone at the start of the big game has way too many variables to land on the same values twice, so be

Using language "correctly" is one of humanity's oldest class dividers. [citation needed, source: me speculating] If you personally benefit from dividing people into in- and out-groups (most of the time you do), saying you mus

Yeah that definitely sucks. I have seen MacOS Safari updates come though separately in Preferences.app > General > Software Update, but I think that release channel is for security issues. Saying that, MacOS and iOS generally (up unti

In the past this was a major issue that meant useful features were only ever usable after IE/Safari finally supported them half a decade later, but it has seriously gotten better. Sadly as a result of Chromium's overbearing presen

That's really interesting! Are you talking more of language as a field of study? (phonetics, grammar, history, etc) Having lived in a place where I only had a pretty limited understanding of the language initially, I constantly made VE

If the point of learning a language was to say new words to yourself, you can just make up words. If you want to be understood and understand others, who ever "they" are sort of need to exist while you're learning. I can prom

This is offtopic honestly, but I'm curious if I've been using this phrase wrong for my whole life. Doesn't "order of magnitude" refer to steps of powers of ten? $50000 vs €30. (or €42066.30 vs €30 if I normalize the

One tiny thing I don't see many UI libraries do when loaded with rounded corners: fix nested rounded boxes by adding the size of the gap between the outer and inner boxes to the border radius. Otherwise, you end up with the slightly of

I might be missing something, but was this project started in 2016? I'm not sure what line in the sand you're drawing. That was some minima for developers "knowing UI actually matters" I presume?
