   I would be shocked to learn if it weren't already happening, just frequently through several layers of obfuscation. But also, just generally. The NSA, to their minimal credit, has rather leaned in to making itself part of the OSS commu

   This feels intuitively correct to me, although I am more informed as an audio engineer than a software/LLM one. That said, is ~500ms considered “real-time” in this context? I’ve worked on recording workflows, and it’s basically geologi

   Yeah, blocking the bloated Adobe telemetry from their CC apps has been worth the cost of entry alone.

   Cognitive dissonance is a psychological phenomenon that occurs when a person holds two contradictory beliefs at the same time.

    I’ve used Notion since its beta, and I mostly like it. My only complaints are that it’s frequently very heavy and slow, and its data exports lack several key basics in functionality (ie—best case is markdown and CSV files, so no databases w

    Part of the problem with that logic is your arbitrary per-week calculation. Spending 4 full days training per month, half of which is spent in the pilot’s seat flying, seems like a good level for maintenance training, with more intensive pe

    It’s not hard. Start a 501(c)3, ask for members to donate and/or pay dues, hold some annual conventions (paid for by vendors) to evangelize the broader mission(s) and recruit new members, hire lobbyists to pursue the collective interes

    Pretty sure there are already FOSS options for file sharing, document management, revision management, process management, workflow management, and all-of-the-above management. Also, are publishing monopolies like Elsevier really all that n

    I think the threshold is more about how much more rent can we seek to collect from users, and making things more performant or ergonomic doesn’t do anything to allow sales to add another 10% to the per-user subscription pricing (I assume th

    Wait…those dastardly systems architecture engineers with their decadent trusted platform modules, each with an outrageous number of kilobytes of ROM. They are the true villains of software performance?

    That's it! Really informative, IMHO. Thanks for adding the other cheek to my half ass job there.

    Ask the AI assistant for instructions. Pretty soon we'll have new acronyms such as "IDKATFAIA" ["I don't know, ask the f'ing AI already"] as we all succumb to the knowledge soup.

    Try installing Adobe's Creative Cloud and/or any of its related products. I ultimately setup an instance of AdGuard just to block Adobe's insane telemetry traffic.

    Is it normal to include the Electron framework like that? Is it not also compiled with the binary? Might be a stupid question, I'm not a developer. Seems like a very, very heavy program to be doing such a straightforward function. On M

    They need to pay for the tech then. Hire an engineer and design team. If they don’t have the access to that sort of immediate funding, then I’d struggle to imagine what sort of in-the-bag contacts they could bring to justify such an uneven

    A few things on the "internal use loophole"--first, I'm not sure a semantic debate over the meaning of "distribution" functions as a loophole. Courts are quite capable and ready to consider questions such as these,
