I don't want to manually have to scroll through all the release logs on every single upgrade, in case their might be a landmine in there this time. Nor does any rational person that values their time or their system stability. It is a

Not only is Arch also a rolling distro (despite them saying "not Arch!"), Arch is one of the most horrible rolling distros in terms of stability. Their general principle for package breakage is "you should have checked it on

Nice followup to your link: https://chipsandcheese.com/p/arm-or-x86-isa-doesnt-matter . Personally I do not entirely buy it. Intel and AMD have had plenty of years to catch up to Apple's M-architecture and they sti

ProtonVPN is so principled they use a company providing datamining services (Tesonet) to run their VPN. That doesn't mean they're datamining their customers, but it is terrible optics. Proton is great, and in many ways they'r

Mullvad is rather principled on privacy. You can't even make a real account, you can only generate an account number that you can charge, and I assume they do some sort of clever tricks to keep themselves as blind as possible to who us

What I really can't stand is inefficient cost-cutting. Nvidia, Apple, Sony and Microsoft have all at one point (or maybe still do) use ridiculously cheap solder. This only saves them fractions of a cent on $300 devices. Every few years

Ah, I should have perhaps formulated it better. What I meant with vile is the sensation of having put effort in to write pleasantly only to then have the effort misattributed to a machine and to be seen like a hack. It's as if you reap

CoCs suck because the newly empowered people often wield it like a blunt hammer to bludgeon everyone they don't like. They're almost always applied arbitrarily and unfairly. They have the noble goal of equalization but they'r

Leeches will pop off easily. There's a nastier cousin of leeches (lampreys) that I think you'll rip a small chunk of flesh out if you'd yank them off forcefully.

Running LLM code with kernel privileges seems like courting disaster. I wouldn't dare do that unless I had a rock-solid grasp of the subsystem, and at that point, why not just write the code myself? LLM coding is on-average 20% slower.

It is not really a nuanced take when it compares 'unassisted' coding to using a bicycle and AI-assisted coding with a truck. I put myself somewhere in the middle in terms of how great I think LLMs are for coding, but anyone that h

Nothing of the sort has been leaked or said by Microsoft. However, their strategy seems to be going all-in on Gamepass. And if you subscribe to Gamepass, Microsoft does not care if you play on your Steam Deck, iPad or Xbox. This is also why

Well, that didn't or wouldn't have mattered when Google only had a top box and sidebox with sponsored sites. Once they started masquerading ads as results, yeah any ability for user down or upranking became unworkable.

High information density, not high UI density. Having 50 buttons and 10 tabs shoved in your face just makes for opaqueness, power user or not.

That's the point of the study though. If you workout harder than your baseline, you will burn more calories than your baseline. But if you do that workout often enough, for various reasons you will return to baseline calorie expenditur

To be honest, it has never been about pure brand. Every brand has had clunkers and has had great models. Having said that, Toyota is known for their reliability, and Volvo (+ Polestar) was / are known for their safety. Just to emphasiz

No, it's Valve just not giving a hoot. People don't seem to (want to) remember, but before the run-up to the Steam Deck, Valve was really coasting. Big Picture was riddled with bugs. Controller configuration was riddled with bugs.

FWIW, it's much better to downrank a page than to outright block it. Blocking is for a page you never, ever want to see. I personally dislike Pinterest and TikTok, but sometimes it might be the only source of an image or video. Blockin
