Before food was packaged in plastic a lot of it wasn't packaged properly, went bad, and caused sickness and death. Plastic food packaging has saved innumberable lives and continues to do so. And that's not even considering the pre

Also: plastics protect food from contamination and infection with biological agents that would cause sickness and death. The benefits far, far, far outweighs the slight downside that might exist.

Simple. They claim it is despite the fact that it's not. If I learned anything from the smartereveryday attempt to make a simple mechanical product in the USA it's that the suppliers are going to lie and say $part is from the USA.

Yep. Native applications are much faster, more reliable (can't change underneath you unless you let them), incomparibly more private, and generally longer lasting. Using the web for applications forces you into behavior and situations

Additionally, no one blocks googlebot even though it's being used just as much for LLM/etc AI training as any web spider out there. Too big to block. Too big to not use.

Wix sites are some of the worst on the web. Not their appearance, but the Wix backend and the way that each javascript loading subdomain is loaded serially rather that in parallel from the first. Crazy (normal) people using browsers that

Luckily most of this is done by web devs using their normal tools which means if you just turn javascript off that gets rid of 99%. Sure, there are ad companies and related out there using actual webserver logs but more and more it's r

Editing minor bits like typos, or changing some wording isn't, but completely changing your comment an ~hour later after multiple is. And I get the feeling you know that. You're obviously a smart, capable person. I don't buy

At least it is technically possible to complete the dreamwidth captchas now. For many years (well before the modern corporate spidering insanity) dreamwidth was just completely inaccessible no matter how many times one completed their captc

While catchy that headline kind of misses the point. It should be "Corporations are overwhelming websites with their hunger for AI data". They're the ones doing it and corporations are by far the most damaging non-human perso

It is clear that in the article and this comment thread your claim is the opposite that of the kicad developers. Your comment attempted to make it seem like their article was in agreement with you. That was a lie you wrote rather than actua

It's a poor decision. Unless you're IBM/Red Hat/GNOME. Then it's clearly the correct decision for increasing profit. Since GNOME desktop (and mutter) is the only wayland desktop of the dozen incompatible implementat

You're not the only one getting blocked. I emailed dreamwidth about this in the past and they say it's something their upstream network host does and they cannot even fix it if their site users wanted to fix it. They're a som

The biggest problem with the Rust compiler is not it's speed in compiling. It's that rustc from 3 months ago can't compile most Rust code written today. And don't tell me that cargo versioning fixes this, it doesn't

GPT is not UEFI. It's just the format of the storage device. I have many computers with GPT formatted disks with actual master boot records at the start of the disk that boot MBR on both original BIOS machines and CSM BIOS machines. MB
