It's probably not actually politicians in this case. It is highly unlikely that "no PDFs as proof of disability" is written in any law anywhere. It's almost certainly a policy developed by the agency at hand, by career

You have a choice when it comes to where you do your banking. You don't have a choice when it comes to where you get your disability benefits. Chase knows this, and while many of their employees may not be empowered to go off script,

You're spending that much time on it because you're doing too much. Your use of the term "homelab" is telling. I have: * A rented VPS that's been running for ~15 years without any major issues, only a couple hours

Self hosting doesn't take as much effort as the cloud providers want us to believe. I've been renting a VPS for 15-20 years from a small provider. It runs a webserver, gitea instance, matrix homeserver, and a bunch of other thing

No it wouldn't. How would that at all help the average consumer?

That's standard conservative speak for "don't interfere with business practices". "Overly broad" is just a way to shut down discussion.

Yes. I don't bother with that. I feel like the risk of Claude Code running amok is pretty low, and I don't have it do long-running tasks that exceeds my desire to monitor it. (Not because I'm worried about it breaking thin

This is what I do; frankly I can't be arsed to take the time to write all these commands and skills and whatnot. I did use /init to get Claude to create a CLAUDE.md file, and I occasionally -- very occasionally -- go through it a

I know lots of people on laptop screens who don't maximize windows. It seems weird to me to only use like 80% of the screen's real estate, but sure, whatever. On large external monitors, I think it makes total sense not to have e

You don't have to use their free service if you don't like its terms. "Extortion" is a bit of an exaggeration here. Yes, I know, it's dicey when people get used to a nice, friendly platform, and the platform gains

These days the reproducibility part is trivial with a Docker container, as much as it's a mess of a technology.

I don't think I ever find new software through github's own search. I find them through the software's website or some other means like a search engine.

I imagine you don't need to; you can emulate i586 on x86_64, and it would probably be performant enough. But I suspect that's not really the hurdle: none of the existing Debian developers care enough about it to maintain it, and n

Like many things in the US, there's no centralized authority that mandates this sort of thing. Some states have laws around this some don't. For those that don't, some counties or cities might have laws around this. Belgiu

The article mentions that the woman suspected the dog was stolen. So perhaps he did live with someone for many years, and was either found after running away, or... something.

Not sure what you mean. The number of Mac games isn't relevant to a subthread about a project to increase performance when Windows games on Mac.

Ideally it does need to be in-kernel for performance reasons. But that's not possible on macOS, so it's better to have it in userspace than not at all.

macOS doesn't require developers to rebuild apps with each major OS release, as long as they link with system libraries and don't try to (for example) directly make syscalls. Apple may require rebuilds at some point for their Ma

I don't think this is a big concern. There will still be plenty of demand for Wine even with a decent catalog of Linux-native games. People use Wine for things other than games, and even if tomorrow every single new game had a native

I would assume most of them? I'd be surprised if distros like Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. would ship non-mainline kernel features like that. Sure, gaming-focused distros, or distros like Arch or Gentoo might (optionally or otherwise)
