As far as I know ST is just a text editor (File -> Open -> Choose File)... so what would "opening a repo" even mean in that context?

Anything is possible I suppose... I don't see a path that leads to Amazon actually further controlling the shopping experience inside a browser (where a local agent might have control that they can't reliably detect), short of for

How do you know they are standing up for users? From where I'm sitting it looks like they just are trying to protect Alexa Shopping's revenue and/or monopoly.

Why is it even Meta's job to announce that an AI agent is being used? Is there a law that actually forces them to make that known? Otherwise people could just use local agents on their own machine controlling their existing browser&#x2

Funny how people block Anna's Archive but never archive.org, which houses the largest centralized collection of warez on the planet. Usenet might have more but it is replicated across the globe.

The usual pushback I get from FOSS zealots is that any time I mention things like money, popularity, increasing adoption etc. they just say none of that matters because it's "not a project goal." In fact, often they don'

I thought this was already allowed and the norm for many years?

If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

Breathtaking levels of misinformation here. There is no EU law that mandates "all messaging must be intercepted and monitored." There is no EU law mandating permanent, non-disableable cameras and microphones in cars. ProtectEU is

I would not be surprised if Omarchy switching to Nix caused a large number of Nix devs to leave (yet again) simply because they can't stand others having opinions they don't like, and using the worst possible interpretations of wh

But wouldn't changing the probability be even more random?

And probably that just using the term "South America" they know would enrage Trump, not only by mocking his America-all-the-things rhetoric, but also by using it to refer to a completely different region that he hates, and they th

I'm not sure about Australia, but I know in the US, it's now possible for minors to be issued (secured) credit cards from a joint account, so I feel like this makes credit cards as an age verification solution a bit problematic.

I don't think that's what they meant at all. The way I interpreted it is that projects that blanket ban AI/LLM usage will become less relevant... not because the robot overlords will take over software development, but becaus

An unusual back-and-forth debate on lobste.rs, on the topic of "clanker" as a slur, as well as being automatically dismissive of people/projects who use LLMs in any way at all.

Why should we not fear the government using data (any data, but especially incorrect data) to make up thought crimes?
