This sort of thing is a dang nightmare. Perk your mouse in the wrong place or scroll and stop at the wrong place with your mouse over the page and all of a sudden you're not reading what you were reading. This is happening all over the

It only works when the majority of good actors adopt it as a standard. Effectively an agreement to abide by it. Or, as the article notes, it's enforced as a part of policy. In Europe it's being pitched as a method to help assure G

There seems to be some conflating of activitypub and mastodon here. Also perhaps a lack of distinction between mastodon.social and all other mastodon instances? There are hundreds if not thousands of individual mastodon instances each with

Pretty tired of this rhetoric. Mastodon functions basically identical to email and damn near every normies has figured it out. Pick a server, sign up, share your handle(email address) with your friends. Type in box zoom zoom. Content wise i

Conversely there's a non-zero chance someone uses the same language or patterns an LLM might. I've fed my own writings into several AI detectors and regularly get scored 60% or higher that my stuff was written by an LLM. A few thi

I'm guessing here because I'm not the author but I believe this statement is directed towards the blocklisting entities because they don't provide transparencies or a method to reach them to resolve issues with a domain once

While I don't disagree and understand the authors concern the bottom line is the author, and others of the same mind, will have to face facts. LLMs are a genie that isn't going back in that bottle. Humans have LLMs and will use th

Auth is what you went for when "cloud" or any number of more widely used ambiguous terms are out there? That said I think dialing back the use of technical terms watered down by the marketing team would be fantastic.

The icon for Quad Cities pizza is off by 100 miles or more. Quad Cities is right in the tip of the bend on the Iowa east side/Illinois west side. It is remarkably local. Can't go giving BFE Iowa credit for something they had nothi

This global warming rhetoric against bitcoin is nonsense right? The current financial system doesn't run off as many or more computers in datacenters around the globe? I don't have objective numbers but I'd lay money credit c

I understand you're referring to the Apple store but in case other non-apple users find this. On the Google Play store at least these are relatively easy to find. Pick your category, games, then scroll the tabs at the top to "Prem

Could you expand some more on this? Short of active curation of small segments of online, deemed important, snapshots kept alive by constant maintenance (I wonder what the internet archives drive failure rates look like), there isn't a

YMMV indeed. How does it go for folks who buy a device second hand, beyond apple care, perhaps because they can't afford Apple's first hand prices. No one is saying Apple shouldn't provide Apple care or first rate service wit

I'm going to echo this. "Please" implies an optional action like when you're trying to be kind to a child. As an adult some people will need you to do things unequivocally. If you can't handle that then that's

You do know how standards work right? They get revised with time. Did you forget we had headphones jacks at least that long, USB A. Lightning has gone unchanged how many years?

This here. Everyone talks like bandwidth is what's lacking. The reality is latency is the problem and you can't overcome the physics (currently). MS's cloud PC's can get stuffed.

Doas is doa on Linux at least. Last I checked maybe 6 months ago the password timeout feature was still broke. You get asked for the password every single time you run doas even if it was just 2 seconds prior. Maddening. Apparently this has

This is dead on. IBM pulls publicity stunts, often achieved by brute force. Then, it uses that marketing to sell contracts to customers whom they promise the world then, typically, fail to deliver on. Or as noted deliver on in the most basi

You can't finish this form without selecting "country who's laws apply". The US isn't in the list so you cant submit the form. California and Illinois have GDPR-like laws. This is pretty messed up.

It's hard to say where fault lies exactly in terms of the bug itself. Except it's up to the distro maintainer to decide what software they include, test it, and ensure it works as expected along with the other pieces of software t
