That argument is not going to hold up for long though. Someone can prompt "improve the open source projects I work on", an agent 8 layers deep can do something like this. If you complain to the human, they are not going to care.

There is something to be said about that. Firefox does keep inserting it's 'helpful features' like Pocket on users, which is very annoying. My point is just that everyone is so critical of Firefox, when the alternative is dis

In this example, nearly every other company in existence gives their employees nothing and asks them to use their hands (forcing AI with no option). It's hard for me to look at Google, Win11, M$ office, and then complain about Firefox.

This is expected behavior in Microsoft products, but has Firefox ever done anything like this?

by hn92726819 9mo ago
In the parallel universe where Firefox defaults to ai features being off, there's a snarky comment like yours about why it isn't on by default. It is really tiring to hear this stuff. People (rightfully) complained there was no sw

Unrelated, but in that link: > Interestingly, the code continues to check the entire hash after a mismatch. This is a standard practice in cryptography, but maybe not at the time.

That's true. I came off too dismissive. I like the advice, I was just disagreeing with: > it’s clear to me why they rarely work: ... and > boring old discipline is much more sustainable approach I like the idea of trying a more h

Disagree. "Just do it" works for some people. Not everyone. In my experience, I hated looking at a gray screen, so I just stop using my phone when it's in grayscale.

Approximately the instant when a single component (RAM) of a comparable product (Gaming PC) became more expensive than the entirety of said product. I wonder what you'd think if bus tires exploded in price and started costing .25 Londo

I actually manually ran both ownCloud and Nextcloud manually before switching to docker. Edit: just checked because I remember upgrading to Owncloud 6... This was 12 years ago to be fair.

That isn't a bug; it's working as intended. I do wonder if that could be mocked up easily in html to see what it feels like though. Sounds like a cool idea

True, but it does seem like the best alternative here. If it's a SOAP API in 2005 for business customers, for example, then it sounds like the least bad option of the four (tell consumers to update, hold up the whole company's dep

Right now, not many. My point is that they aren't flipping a giant switch from an open platform to a closed platform. They're boiling the frog -- slowly removing features until all choice is gone. A few more years in this directio

I'd believe it. Not sure when this is, but if it's a few years old and business software, they could probably asume everyone uses java, which doesn't even have unsigned integers.

One interesting aspect of this is that when using a personal Android with a work profile, developer options and ADB is (or at least can be) disabled. BYOD will then imply you can't sideload at all.

by hn92726819 1y ago
Do you see the direction they're heading? They're now making it so maybe .5% of android users know how to sideload. They're clearly chipping away at it, even though they might not be making all the changes at once.

I disagree. If I take my phone in, I'm going to wipe it first. If someone asks me, I'd say they should do the same. Now that I know it's a feature, I won't suggest that for iPhone users as backup+restore just sucks. (I k

Probably for a higher-level crate, (like the one the author wrote), but it adds computational complexity, and you don't want that by default with a low level crate like `image`. For example, if you wanted to blur or grayscale an image,

Be warned: each layer of eink reduces contrast. With 4 layers, the contrast of the color boox tablet is terrible. Also, if you buy from boox, you have to pay about $50 to return it. Not worth it at all in my experience, unless you will alwa

I think most people are fine with promoting a cool project you work on, but it's best practice to disclose that in the article. Even something like "If your project was set up with LavaMoat (a project I've been working on), .

I don't know if it will. I actually have never even heard of this bug before, but I would assume that it gets fixed somehow and I imagine it involves unplugging it and plugging it in again. I just suggested a smart plug because the o

Kind of a nasty solution, but if you have a smart plug, you could plug the iPad into it and have HAS toggle power for an hour a day (or whatever time). That way it's as if you unplugged the iPad yourself for a period.
