I'm not even so sure it's such a useless joke. I mean, it is, and I wouldn't want titles to be like "Academic publishers admit paywalls were a scam all along" (unless ALL major publishers actually admit it, which so

Very good and appreciated, but I think for math/CS the problem is essentially solved by virtue of having arxiv.org strongly embedded into the culture, so I consider it just a PR stunt. Thanks nevertheless.

Ok, as others noted, the tool in question is hardly a solution, but what is, then? I mean, presented like that, it's pretty crazy that everyone just downloads and runs 5GB executable blobs from Hugging Face. Does anyone review them s

Cool, but honestly I always end up regretting another device that is not just plain "non user-firendly" Linux. First you buy Synology because it's just quick and easy to set-up, and "I'll figure the rest later"

I seriously don't quite understand the point of using a VPN that doesn't offer you clean residential IPs somehow (and I don't really know good VPN like that). Most services where I really want to use VPN are well aware of VPN

I probably shouldn't be surprised, but… so, you are saying, Apple can remotely brick YOUR device? For any reason, let alone "because of a mistake"? Heh, and I was considering to buy my first iPhone. I mean, seriously, I can o

Indeed. So I don't really understand what this proposal tries to achieve. It even explicitly says that dict → frozendict will be O(n) shallow-copy, and the contention is only about O(n) part. So… yeah, I'm sure they are useful for

Well, bizarre is the point. Surely you do understand that this is the content to gather kids views, because there is a ton of kids on the internet, and they can be monetized. I don't know what kind of research they do on their audience

FWIW, I personally liked the joke.

This is so cool! I love things like that, it feels like fresh air after years and years of anachronistic retro-vibes that seem to be a part of C-programming culture.

Sure, everyone wants to "stop silly people replying to my comments by posting LLM-generated garbage", but rules are rules, so you should understand that by introducing a rule like the one you propose, you also automatically forbid

Cannot properly evaluate now. I never really use it without a cable for too long, and by now the battery must have slightly degraded too. Anyway, it never was Macbook-level, I guess, and it's an oldish model, so you should check actual

I feel the same way, but I wouldn't be bold enough to call it dumb. I mean, I assume they know what they are doing. This is very inconvenient for me, as a buyer, but I suppose most companies just aren't Apple, so they throw at u

I wonder why ThinkPads are not mentioned. It's not like I recommend them (I mean, I use one, but it's not like I've tried most laptops out there, so who I am to judge), but I was under the impression it's still a de-fa

I never even used Google Photos (because, you know), so if somebody could explain more concretely: how do you use it? Is it actually a backup app (and if so, is it really much different from using a generic backup app or even just syncthi

I was pondering on this very thing not so long ago. I didn't discover anything new, of course, but I ended up convinced that the whole thing exists only because most people don't take a moment to think how absurd it is, and not so

It would be a good thing, if it would cause anything to change. It obviously won't. As if a single person reading this post wasn't aware that the Internet is centralized, and couldn't name specifically a few sources of centra

It appears to me that the rationale was clearly stated in GP: > resulting in missing upstream features and decreased security I.e. it's a matter of technical superiority, which, to me, how the decisions should be made. Not by havi

Thanks. I was wondering what is the status of it, given that Forgejo is being pushed more in the media lately. TBH, I haven't understood the controversy even after reading a couple of recaps. I remember it being about having "sudd

That was exactly my thought. To be fair, I probably end up thinking that because this article is written is this trashy dumbass style, which portrays it as "Google bug reports vs. ffmpeg bug fixes", which is simply unfair: as you&

That's weird. If the color difference is caused entirely by some peculiar chemical properties of the film, it should be trivial to calculate the filter that you need to apply to the digital source material so you get the "authenti

To be fair, it's always an artistic choice if you think it is appropriate here or not, but, yeah, this article is a really heavy offender. Reading the "Abstract claim" I caught myself thinking that this word salad hardly ma

There is no such person as "Mozilla". There is Kiki, a "Support Community Manager", probably a relatively low-level worker (but it doesn't matter much if she is actually has some weight in the organization). So, you

(Unlike GP) I don't actually have a problem with your assumptions. They seem likely to me. But I still have a problem with the whole sentiment of, uh, people on your side of the discussion. Let's just assume it is how you say it i

I can imagine what you mean, but since I am not in Japan, it would be interesting why you feel that way.

I still don't quite understand where ChatGPT and its pals learned this. Sure, all these PR copywriters are notoriously bad at writing, but still, I don't think I often met all this crap in many texts before. I mean, if I did, I wo

So… what's changing? Profiles have been there for decade(s), is it just an alternative UI for folks who were unable to run firefox -p, or is there anything more substantial?
