May I perhaps add my rant 50 cents here and link to my post about this? https://www.justus.pw/garden/telemetry.html It’s opt out, and it doesn’t even completely disable it (unless given an env var as well) The devs kno

I wonder what some of the regional quirks are, instances where the implementation strays from the standard, but if you don’t do it in quirks mode, you can’t connect to the cellular connection or calls will not go through etc. A sort of woop

Fujitsu? I am sure the link is only the company name, but the Japanese government contracted out the ID card deployment largely to them, leading to a catastrophic rollout: https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/30&#x2

So if governments are sniffing on high entropy traffic, could we just send normal seeming (SSH or whatever) packets with the payload coming from /dev/urandom? Would that be a denial of service?

This is great. I often look at unit tests to understand how to use legacy code. Seeing a law come with concrete examples that are part of the legal text, would allow us to test if a rule is logically consistent, and test our understanding a

This is what I love about the internet: to anything you can write you can get the most enlightened or insane response. I hope that years later, your response will end up on the right side of these two. (Provided this lands on some kind of i

Reminds me of the old I’m color blind, I don’t see race trope. Recognizing where someone is coming from, even if you don’t personally like it, that’s a basic requirement for communication. Those instance where people complain about misgende

The issue with people is that we all have very different ideas of what kind and respectful behavior is? Especially relevant when so many different folks from so many places come together online. Setting the minimum standards helps set expec

I used to feel frustrated about the flag, having bought an Nvidia GPU for ML, not knowing how badly DRM works on it. I don’t blame the maintainers of a compositor of struggling with Nvidia holding back a proper API? My Intel built in GPU wo

I really appreciate Drew stepping up against harassment in open source communities. Deciding on a CoC is such a low effort issue, just get it over with!

This is really interesting as I am looking for a route planner that I can use with my old Garmin Edge without having to do 3rd degree API connections in the background every time. All I want is a route file that I can copy on the device usi

If opt in renders it useless then I dare question whether modern open source as a mode of development and operation is feasible at all, if the underlying foundation is snooping based on uninformed consent. Yes, many tools give you an option

Late to the party, too: I blog on and off at https://www.justus.pw/ Mostly things I hack on at home, or weird stuff I find online and stuff that I have read about.

On the one hand I see the appeal of staying inside, say, Django the whole time and getting 3x done. On the other hand I am so pampered by front end component based templating especially with Tailwind. It would be cool if I could just import

Sorry if I may seem ignorant, but how is this different from Storybook? Is one a finished design system, and the latter one just a tool do document your design system?

While flying itself is quite fun - nothing beats finding weird tchotchkes in the duty free shop - thinking about airport security gives me existential dread. I think it is great that British airports are relaxing their rules, but until that

This completes the cycle. Researchers use GPT to write papers and submit them (can be fully automated) Journals review using GPT and (potentially) publish (can be fully automated) GPT will create a borked summary and create fake citations f

Looking at the recent Andrew Tate drama, one definitely gets the impression that a huge part of that industry is extremely shady. I worry though that forcing participants to use obscure payment methods will obscure evidence of human traffic

I wonder if there is anything to the trope, that when the adult video payment eventually shows up on a married couple’s credit card bill, the spouse who signed up for a heftily expensive subscription will claim that their credit card must h

Eventually we would have to call ChatGPT to the witness stand, and ask it whether it remembers telling these specific words to that man over there.

I would argue that the path to Japanese citizenship is easier than being seen as Japanese. One is a pre-defined legal process, the other one depends on the complexities of what is cultural identity.

I, the author of the linked article, see the appearance of ever more productive tools as allowing humanity to break through the lie: that much of the labour we perform is necessary and that labour at all is necessary. The concept of your st
