That is rather funny because I think Google's and Samsung's AI image actions are completely garbage, butchering things to the point where I'd rather do it manually on my desktop or use prompt editing (which to Google's c

I really like Kagi because of all the features and just generally letting me be a user instead of a product, but they have some weird kludges sometimes. The weirdest choice at the moment is by default Kagi sends a referrer when you visit a

The only thing Apple is behind on in the AI race is LLMs. They've been vastly ahead of everyone else with things like text OCR, image element recognition / extraction, microphone noise suppression, etc. iPhones have had these feat

The main reason for people repeating "uBlock Origin + Firefox is best" is because CNAME uncloaking didn't work on most Chromium browsers, even on Manifest V2. It does on Brave. AdGuard works better simply because there's

It is better (especially than the Manifest V3 version) because it has first party access / integration. In general, of 3rd party blockers, uBlock Origin isn't even the best, AdGuard is.

No, Liquid Glass was stunted from its conception. Any UI designer worth his salt could have pointed out the legibility issues immediately. The fact that no one (in power) saw a problem with Liquid Glass shows that Jobs was right, that letti

Windows Phone was dead in the water because many services did not have first party support, and the third party clients kept getting killed / people banned from said services. Google was extremely aggressive in muscling Microsoft out.

Correct for data, not for config files. Config files are stateful unless you do the procedure I mentioned, because they're generated at first application launch. If you try to symlink into an existing file Nix will indeed complain, whi

For what it's worth, you can put a git repo inside a nix configuration / flake folder and it will tell you the repo is dirty. 'nh' also has commands to tell you about state. But it shouldn't require outside tools. T

It was just an example. Other packages could also set new variables / parameters in their configuration. It might not be a problem in the beginning if the variable is just repopulated, but it might blow up in your face in the future. I

One of the biggest annoyances I have with doing this with Nix vs another tool is that Nix doesn't natively communicate back state changes so that you can make them reproducible. If I make a git repo, place '~/.config/new

I always enjoy how Thinkpad bros have been badmouthing MacBooks for two decades, when those have had the best battery life, screen, hinge, case, bluetooth, fan noise and other amenities during all of that time. They were the first to have W

Ultimately, CPU schedulers are about choosing which attributes to weigh more heavily. See this[0] diagram from Github. EEVDF isn't a straight upgrade on CFS. Nor is LAVD over either. Just traditionally, Linux schedulers have been rathe

Yeah, their reasoning is solid (easy to abuse) but it is still a very useful feature. AFAIK, at the moment your choices are AirVPN and ProtonVPN. AirVPN has static port forwarding and Proton has UPNP port forwarding.
