I am by no means a typography expert, nor is it a major focus of mine. I have however spent a lot of time reading non-technical prose, and I had a visceral reaction to your comment because of how wrong it seemed. To me the after is so obvio

That was pretty much my thought, thanks for the confirmation. It sounds like a relatively simple but well thought out plugin could make it seamless during typical use.

From that limits page, it looks like as-shipped it can have a blob of max 1gb, and a bit over 2gb if compiled from source. That's rather limiting for my data, since I have some static images, as well as some pdfs and of course videos t

Is anybody depending on this for mission critical data? Can I throw 1TB of images, pdfs, and miscellanea in there, delete the originals, and keep humming along in practical perpetuity? I would presume use lightstream to backup on top of oth

Given the disinformation campaign that will take place (at the very least from russian bots flooding social media), I would much prefer all sources of information be fully available throughout the election. Of course this is their highest l

Naively, it would seem like it would be as simple as updating android studio and recompiling your app, and you would be good to go? There must be less than 1 in 1000 (probably less than 1 in 10,000) apps that do their own ARM specific optim

I 100% agree. Just pointing out that UBI changes the discourse on this subject.

I never thought about UBI and copyright - but as soon as you say that, it is immediately obvious to me that when we have some kind of UBI, copyright should be dramatically reduced.

They have camera links. I think it is US opsec requirements keeping the videos to a minimum.

Russia is using FPVs to kill civilians on their bicycles or buying fruit, and posting the videos on telegram to laugh about it. This happens every day, it is not a few isolated incidents. It is not boredom, but a chosen tactic.

> For Russia, 100 civilians dying in a mass artillery bombardment is a normal workday. More specifically, it is a success to them. They clearly use civilian casualty and the terror it brings as a tactic to dishearten their victims.

Since they are ramping up to build switchblades in Ukraine [1], I would say they are a quiet success. They were just extremely overhyped before they got there. [1] https://kyivindependent.com/us-company-aerovironment-plans-t

If some random app now wants me to use their random payment system, I will 100% just delete the app. Not a chance. I will and do install apps outside the app store, but I will not start using random payment systems. In other words, although

According to my communications with the US copyright office, you never get a global copyright by editing. At best you get a copyright on your changes - and that only if they are copywritable on their own. Minor changes to wording or tweakin

You jump immediately to money. But less crappy automation in this case is almost certainly a question of configuration and then thoughtfulness on the part of follow up reviewers, not just throwing money at the problem. It feels like you are

I had the thought for much the same reason. It amounts to a denial of service attack on the human psyche. There are places with laws about advertising pollution in public spaces. That needs to extend beyond advertising to a more general set

With how aggressive websites are in shoving popups down our throats for every little random thing, we need an in-browser AI bot to get rid of them appropriately. It's leaking too. I got a popup on my keyboard on my phone yesterday, and

It sometimes seems to me that news organizations are suffering from self-inflicted injuries. They would be much healthier financially with aggregation.

Here is a (not very novel) idea: Netflix for news. I would happily pay for a solid aggregator subscription. But the number of times that some random news site from halfway across the world is the site of the day just keeps me away from news
