That's already happening though. There's a bunch of quid pro quo for speech curtailment in the media right now. Hell, just this week Colbert lost his spot to appease the administration for the Paramount + Skydance merger. Even if

Maybe a hot take, but for a modern overview of the way people at large interact with computers, I find it almost disingenuous to paint it in a positive light - wonder included - without also showing the dark sides. The gray area only exists

The intro is well written and captivating, but is an intro. Unfortunately, it leaves me less wanting to read and experience the meat of the book and more curious what that meat even is. With a target audience that doesn't know how to c

Oh I am so pissed about the noob guide thing. I have intentionally removed my post about my bad interactions with the Arch community from my website, but if you're curious it's in the history: https://github.com/Ve

Good cables (Though maybe not silver, that shouldn't matter much), ironically, actually do make an audible difference. Just good, oxygen free, low capacitance cable is what you want. Because guitars are high impedance and how tone pots

The minecraft thing is a problem regardless of launcher, to the point that I actively condone people pay for the game then find ways to not require online auth. Some moron at Microsoft decided that if your password is serving its purpose an

I'm a furry (Been for ~10 years, actually going to a big con in a week) but not a Therian. I too sometimes find some of the Therians a bit, uh, eccentric. But I think it's worth clarifying that most (I think) don't literal

For me, it wasn't the subpar equipment, it was the subpar instruction. I will never forget trying to explain to the graduate TA leading my circuits 1 lab, that, no, you can not use a multimeter to measure impedance of an element in a c

This story makes me cry every time I read it, at the line "You were victimizing yourself". It's not an ugly cry, but a sort of somber pain. I think humans are predisposed - probably evolutionary - to remember the bad more tha

"Part 1" being a handful of paragraphs with no substance to persuade you to come back later. That's literally brain rot content. Thomas, I'm not trying to be harsh, but also consider what the point of putting unfinished

Then make it a flag for windows machines on a domain account or otherwise set to be a "business PC". Doing it on consumer systems is still a problem. A false positive flag for malware - or calling any keygen malware - is still a p

I think to an extent Microsoft is the guilty party here. For may cracks Windows Defender will trip saying "Win32/Keygen" even if there's no actual malware https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/th

I think this just barely misses a point: Part of why it died is people from disparate backgrounds don't have anything to say. In my discord groups, telegram chats, etc. they're all focused: Bet it on making music, writing embedded

Yunno, I wouldn't. Even for 100k on the table. I wouldn't suggest it. I have bills to pay, student loan debt, etc. but for one, I wouldn't want to suggest something that would have long term negative brand impact, and two, bu

I think they probably are when not using "autopilot" as others are commenting, this isn't cause. It's likely that the brand attracts a kind of driver that likes to speed or that wants to over rely on assisted driving t

There's this "legend" that, I assume, has some truth to it, that only about 1% of Reddit users post, and only about 10% comment. The other 90% lurk. On the internet as a whole, I do mostly lurk, but I have my own website wher

I hope this means better ISA & extension consistency going forward and a push to make tools to adopt the extensions too. One of the bigger issues for x86-64 as an ISA is that nobody wants to compile to support features that not everyone
