I feel ya, deleting whatsapp will not be great for my social life. Neither was deleting facebook, at least at the time when it was still being used. Whatsapp has inserted itself into the social fabric as a benevolent offering and now that w

Yeah, even human written content is often mostly written for bots and AI atm. Endless pages of drivel to please the SEO ‘experts’ :(

There are different fully concurrent ruby implementations: truffleruby, rubinius, jruby.. they all suck at what ruby is most used for, running rails. Last time i tried cruby was 10x faster still. So in practice we glady throw more memory an

I think the biggest impact will be the loss of access to EU workers without hassle. I would have gladly worked for a company based out of the UK in the past; now I assume I am not welcome and can't be asked to find out what would be in

Switzerland is not that great either I believe. Looked it up last year, I could make ~1.5 times what I make now, but prices are on average at least 2 times higher than where I live now.

What is you point? The fact that humans have shit ethics does not mean we need not address ethics in AI. Especially if the AI is then used to justify the biases. And that comparison is completely ridiculous.

I use mailbox.org, pretty cheap, super focus on privacy, EU hosted etc. The web ui is a bit dated, but works fine

I'd rather pay the apple tax (money) than the google/facebook tax (my data and privacy).

Not 100% sure, but I expect it asks the server if mail to an address is deliverable. I recently was doing some testing directly talking SMTP to a server and recall a special check command. IIRC it said it check if the server would accept ma

Not sure if I agree with the conclusion. maybe this is an issue, maybe times have changed. From my personal experience the 'stable' releases are just to slow to keep up with the demands on frequency of updates. To illustrate what

Yeah, I might have had unrealistic expectations when i bought the darter last year. I was just immediately disappointed with the flimsy plastics, tiny plastic touch pad and excessively bright rgb keyboard. Given that it is not that cheap,

I am not convinced by the value System76 adds. I love the idea of no intel me, not that is relevant here, and openboot etc. But the quality of their hardware (and OS) is just really not where it should be to justify the prices.

Pretty sure she was ready to leave though, from the tone of the tweet atleast. On the other hand, as an employer firing people this way is not very smart either. This brings a lot of attention and seems very vindictive. Especially given the

I think so, looks like a kernel issue more than an ls issue. The kernel should be preventing ls from accessing that metadata

You are right! I was sure that that is what I saw last time I looked it up.. That's what I get for relying on my memory ;)

> The 2008 bubble-pop never happened here. I live in the Netherlands and that seems to be roughly what happened here too. ~~I mean, yes the prices have dropped a tiny bit around 2008, but in 2009 they were at an all time high again and h

That is because >50% of internet traffic is bots. Mostly BS marketing tools, ad conversion scams and quack-security 'scans' from my experience. Pretty sure the entire captcha proliferation is to reduce fake clicks in google ads

Main issue I always had with SUVs is the lights. They all have way to bright xenon lights. When you drive a sports car (I drove a fiat coupe & a mx-5/Miata) in the dark you cannot see anything when a SUV is behind you. Not to speak

This is a large part of the problem if you ask me. I did some research a few years back into (somewhat unrelated) process management practices. What kinda stood out to me is that in the 50s-60s many businesses transformed their leadership.

Very cool concept to have compute and memory unified. On first glance, this seems to fall in the middle between GPU & CPU based computation, but this is ultimately a graph processor. So no magic computational-memory performance panacea
