Switched to Hyprland about a month ago. Wasn't feeling it at first but after a few weeks I don't think I can go back.

Oh, I originally missed it on the side I only looked in the README. I don't think it was ever called OS/X? It's been called OS X and Mac OS X but never OS/X.

I can’t wait for the apocalyptic razing that’s coming.

AI is a blocker to the human experience.

Why does the title call it OS/X? It's macOS and it's described that way on the repo. Unfortunately his is just a recreation rather than an actual port, since the license for the source that was released prevents derivative wo

Mozilla will never be able to compete with Google, Microsoft or OpenAI - heck even Perplexity - for AI features in a browser. They shouldn't even try. I've been test driving Waterfox and at this point I don't think I'll

If I’m gonna bother doing something like that I’m just gonna use Linux and just not have to deal with it at all.

The problem is too much centralization of power in the federal government, when the entire purpose of the constitution was supposed to be to LIMIT the power of the federal government so that states could mostly govern themselves. California

The federal government isn't supposed to "run the country".

Senators are supposed to be representatives of the State Legislatures, not The People - that's what the House of Representatives is for. The 17th amendment was a huge mistake.

A crawler will typically preprocess to remove the HTML comments before processing the document, specifically for reasons like this (avoiding prompt injection). So an LLM generating the summary would probably never have seen the comments at

I really only use LLMs for coding and IT related questions. I've had Claude self-correct itself several times about how something might be the more idiomatic way do do something after starting to give me the answer. For example, I&#x

My point was that the look does matter. Whether you like the look is a different story.

Not everything needs to be worked on like it’s a full time job.

I actually tried to install Librewolf today and it wouldn’t go because of gatekeeper. Ended up on Waterfox instead. Would’ve preferred Librewolf because that’s what I run on my other desktop running Linux but what can you do…

FreeBSD is worth using for native ZFS alone. BTRFS doesn't even come close.

"the look doesn't matter" I think Sony would disagree: We wanted to do something that was bold and daring almost. We wanted something forward facing and future facing, something for the 2020s [...] The PS5's design is me

This has turned into a such a pain point for me I'm probably just going to ditch MacOS on my next hardware refresh and insist on a Linux-based workstation. I already use Linux for everything else, changing for $DAY_JOB is trivial.

I love running euler problems when trying to learn the basics of a new programming language. I have a small collection of programs in like 10 different languages that I keep around as a reference for things because I always try to use lang
