Do you really believe that? Stuff like that is really troublesome to keep alive. Piratebay is hardly the thing is was, and it's a torrent site, which is relatively easy to host. A better example would be rarbg, which is not alive anymo

Sure, but how do you even keep it sustainable? All most useful things in the world are kinda fundamentally non-monetizable, illegal, or both. Wikipedia is the only thing that succeeded, and even that I'm starting to have some doubts ab

How can there be any doubt?

There's a difference, though. Law and medicine are fields with very strong gatekeeping. You also need a licence for many construction engineering roles, and in fact both stakes and accountability there are much higher than in the forme

Good for you, but you (and, apparently, everyone in your last 10 years of working with) would have a problem if I was the one reviewing your commits. I mean, to be fair, I often did let it slide (for political/social/practical rea

What's currently the cheapest/easiest way to deal with relatively lightweight GPU tasks, that are not lightweight enough for my PC? Consider this use case: I want to upload 50 GB of audio somewhere and run whisper (biggest model)

Let's say you are hallucinating "two distinct meanings of fork". Unless you are referring to tableware, a fork is a fork, it's any distribution of a software, based on the software in question. The fact that most forks o

I never understood what's the point of stand-up comedians (and never heard a single actually funny joke from these folks), but isn't that the whole point why people who find this nonsense amusing invite them? For them to insult yo

True. Among all noise over Durov being harassed by France it may seem to uninformed that this is some new development, but it isn't. The first time I've noticed some "extremist" (I mean, I don't necessarily think th

Every time someone brings up Signal in these threads I cringe. One can make up stories about spam protection as much as he wants, but given how little (basically none) control one has over him phone number, no messenger strictly requiring a

While true, I don't think it's something new and unique, and by no means it's "consequence of technology entering their lives far too early". If anything, it's author's inability to see a plank in his own

It's seems clumsy. I wouldn't really cheer for them opening this Mastodon server or whatever, because, really, all that Mozilla is expected to do is to advance Firefox. But since they did, what's the point of shutting it down

That's very neat. I don't get it from the preview, though: can I JUST TYPE the query, w/o all these silly menues? One saved query is super restrictive though, basically means either pay, or don't even bother to install.

Honestly, even as it is, I am not very much impressed. I feel like the most of the reaction here is... artificial? I mean, look at him, poor guy, he has cancer, of course we should side with him against evil Mozilla. All these statements th

Me too, but I wonder if it's actually a GDPR perk or maybe some regional A/B kind of thing. Or whatever. I mean, I am not sure if it's a good news or a bad news.

You obviously have no clue about "serious mountaineering" and what you are talking about in general. Even though I do have a couple of merino wool items, they can be replaced with synthetics quite easily (the only real upside of w

I hope the torch pun is intentional. It should be, because, really, Python should replace R, because R won't replace Python, but, as you can see, it very much attempts to.

This is correct. However, I always thought that legislation is pretty stupid. It isn't exactly comparable to alcohol/tobacco warnings. Actually, I always thought they are stupid too, but at least they can count as an "informe

I'm not sure I like the idea. I was thinking more about how great it would be to joint Whatsapp groups without having that spyware installed. But allowing Whatsapp users into Matrix chats would let Meta into these chats as well, which

If the disc is encrypted (and otherwise nothing would save you anyway), why do I need the Secure Boot, really? What harm it can do for somebody to boot my device from an unauthorized drive?

Every point is not self-explanatory, and some are clearly true (while the assumption is they must be false). For instance, it surely is true that any name will fit in under a Terabyte of text, if it can be encoded at all (and assuming the c
