   I think we need to start separating such concepts like entertainment from the ones of enjoyment , fascination , function , interest , satisfaction , beauty and the sublime a bit more. Art theory literally has books on these thing

   Oh man, the Golden Age of science fiction movies, just two years after 2001: A Space Odyssey and five years before the start of the Blockbuster era[0] with Jaws (1975) and Star Wars (1977). I feel like Science Fiction back then was pu

   Have to disagree here as I don't subscribe to your analogy. GenAI can be considered a tool, yes, but it's less a "circular saw for workshops"-tool, and more a "microwave for kitchens"-tool... and I doubt microw

   Do you realize that tomhow is an admin on this site? Anyway, it doesn't have to be bots... maybe some 3rd-party client app is implementing the downvoting of submissions via (unofficial) API calls.

   Users aren't in agreement of the needed karma threshold for the downvote button to appear on submissions, though. There seems to be a way through URL-params, as mentioned in another comment[0], but I'd consider that method an auth

   FYI a retagged package would result in a different SHA512 integrity sum and fail the installation process. It won't "just silently update". Anyway, the point of parent and me wasn't that it was considered to be a "m

   You forgot case #4: Worked at a startup where the frontend team thought it was a good idea to use lock files during development, but to do a "fresh" install of all dependecies during the deployment step. And yes, they still though

    Interestingly, Inception AI seem to have pivoted from content slop for "gardening, [...] knitting, cooking" - or "things we can afford to be wrong" - to "AI Immigration Drafting Software for Law Firms": http

    The few things that make me agree with GP: 1. "AI" is a marketing term used by the likes of OpenAI/Anthropic/Google. LocalLLaMa communities prefer to use "LLM" or "model". So for a lot of people &quot

    GP is talking about podman with generated systemd unit files (a.k.a. podman quadlet [0]), not the docker-compose -compatible podman-compose ...and I'd agree, systemd can manage services on a system just fine, and even better

    In my understanding a device has its origin in giving advice and does something specific for you (a pen is a writing device, a mixer is a cooking device, a phone is a communication device, a bus is a transportation device etc.). A mach

    I think it's worth mentioning that you had the app installed around a year ago, as I can imagine some "restore from backup" scenario at play. I'm currently with a 13 mini (26.4.2), never had this app installed, and am no

    Just for reference: I pay 8€ for mobile, 40€ for internet and some occasional 5€ for VPNs each month. That's all the digital service subscriptions I'll need to have fun.

    Indeed, GitHub should set up a monthly quota for available stars to give and correlate the account age with it: either make something up like a "trusted-age-factor" that multiplies any given star by that factor, or scale the avail
