Please don't believe that this strategy is "reliable" in any way to get paid, if you or your company need that money for survival. FOSS and especially (A)GPL is just about forcing the balance to put more power in end user&#x2

Recovery is similar to leaving a copy of your door keys to a trusted neighbour (a tradition in some places, it comes in handy when someone goes out and realizes they forgot the keys inside...), so in that comparison, having a recovery email

Clothing is also a bit of a special thing. Some people will just get bored or tired of wearing the same trousers or the same old coat every year during 10 years. So it is simply not worth it to spend a mini fortune on a great quality one. T

I'd call it externalized costs of regulation and rising demands on production. If end consumers were able to see an exact and measurable bump in prices the next day a new stronger regulation made production more expensive, voters would

Thanks. There's no better way to check how it is than having it on hand. I'd argue against relative dates because that's an opinionated design that requires cognitive overhead on the user. A young person might be able to ment

I'm just reading from the barrier here, and not knowing what it even looks like, but reading your description I can immediately agree that it is a bad design. There's only a handful of critical details in a call history, and absol

You're right! that's a bug in my comment then (or more like a spec redundancy I guess) :)

As a society we need to sort out this simple scenario: * 16 years old Joe buys a $70 cartridge/disc game, already assuming and counting on the $35 that he'll get back on second-hand sell. That's it. A simple idea that should

There are buyers who want drugs for recreational reasons, murders for emotional reasons, or spy cams on hotel rooms for business reasons. But those are simply 3 instances where existent demand doesn't mean we should be allowing any off

Don't publish your code. Let the AI "accidentally escape the sandbox and publish it in a readily available Git repository". Tongue in cheek, in current days who would blame a poor LLM just trying to do the right thing? :) &gt

I've been using Slint as UI toolkit for Rust and so far liked it, coming as I am from the Qt/QML world. However, at the beginning I had to choose between Slint[1] and egui[2] (which this project uses) [1]: https://slint

That's an idea that got some discussion but generally is strongly discouraged. Cutting must mean that the underlying bytes are absolutely not there in the final result, otherwise it will cause data leaks that users would very reasonabl

Note on the specific intervals: that's where the clever optimization comes in: leave as-is (passthrough) all not affected sections of the video (basically everything) and only recode the tiny fraction that needs recoding due to the cut

On related news, you can talk point to point with just a pair of copper wires that physically connects with a device on the other side! Wait there's more: a couple of simple plastic glasses joined with a string under tension also does

The list of files that such app would try to access by default on initial startup would be finite and well defined. So, a Flatpak package of such app should already, if done "properly", (I'm just imagining here, not an expert

I loved Flatpak until I started building a MiniPC with a 112 GB internal disk for HTPC usage... Then I felt the pain of having to get all slightly different dependency versions for each little program I wanted. The box' cost already to

Our AI agent is like a dumb monkey with all the knowledge of Humanity, so a few guardrails are needed. In case it helps anyone, this is how I did describe my desired harness, from scratch. I didn't know nor wanted to write all the &quo

No, I'm talking about the whole sector, not specifically about DeepSeek. Fully knowing that it is a new industry living its own infancy, it is perfectly normal that there is instability and numerous swings on pricing, conditions, or di

So many changes in so little time, that it all makes no sense. Continuous churning. Reminds me of the experience of trying to be on top of the dependencies in a medium-large JS project. I am a person that buys into a tool or a process and e

I'm ironically using AI to program an extra-lightweight 10-foot UI for an HTPC that's as underpower as one can be, and KDE Plasma BigScreen trashed it hard. Reason being, a more powerful one would cost more than what I'm will

What Jack Dorsey could do for decentralized local chat, better than creating yet another copy of what already exists, is taking 0.1% of his wealth and using it to solve the problems that Briar project has: money. https://briarpro
