I see it used very much for the wrong purposes though. It's a really mediocre database for example. It allows numbnuts to make really poorly designed stuff that then worms its way into critical business processes. Microsoft could have

I don't think that actually fixes the issue though. Perhaps there's some shared message queue that's blocking things? I don't know. I know I've had that on in the past and it didn't solve it.

Yeah it probably traces back to the time when Microsoft tied internet explorer into every part of the OS just so they wouldn't be forced to remove it. They're really bad at modernising legacy parts of the OS. Even to this day part

Again the concept of sport imposes human concepts on a hypothetical alien culture. There's no reason to assume their society would have developed along similar lines. I'm sure there's alien civilisations that are more aggress

What's PIP?

Yeah this. And warehouse work is all appified and can be configured in any language. Any American working in an Amazon warehouse will be jumping at the chance to get out of there. So turnover would be really high. Same with delivery stuff,

We do a lot of business with them and we have workshops with them sometimes, and the one thing I notice is how they're all so evangelical. They wouldn't say a bad thing about their company. I couldn't be like that, when I wor

I couldn't imagine worshipping aliens even if they were powerful enough to be indistinguishable from gods. I also think that if such powerful aliens (or actual gods for that matter) were to exist, they wouldn't give a rat's a

This presumes they have the same nasty survival-of-the-fittest kill-or-be-killed attitude as humanity. Our evolution kinda created that but it doesn't have to apply everywhere. I think it's entirely possible that alien civilisatio

The Dutch IRS just doubled down on M365 though saying they couldn't find any alternative. Strange detail though is that they were not on a cloud service until now. It's a bit of a weird time to decide to migrate to a US cloud serv

Oh that's disappointing. I have no issue with them flagging bible apps (it's just a flag and I welcome the ability to filter) but I do think nsfw content does belong in an open app ecosystem under the appropriate flagging. Includi

The unresponsive thing is because the whole explorer.exe still seems to be one big single threaded process. One thing hanging kills everything. Including stuff completely unrelated to the file manager like the task bar. So weird.

What makes a meteorite not "space debris" though?
495.
by wkat4242 1y ago
Um yeah that's really surprising considering military planes are designed for situations where there are being shot at.

by wkat4242 1y ago
Absolutely. AGI isn't a matter of adding more 9s. It's a matter of solving more "???"s. And those require not just work but also a healthy serving of luck. As I understand it, to the breadth of LLMs was also something th

Yes look under system apps. There's something like Facebook services that's not disabled and can't be removed from the UI. I don't remember the exact name because I uninstalled all the crap with adb. But I think it'

I definitely would not want to be a trillionaire yeah. Having a million or so would be nice but more and you get roped into all kinds of power play and you have to get security goons with you all the time to avoid getting kidnapped. I'

Yeah AI will put a lot of people out of a job, it will bring people into poverty not out.

Even if it's opt in it's preinstalled and gathering data. Just like all the upday and Facebook crap that Samsung installs on their phones even if you don't use it. Also I don't think you can own trillions and not be a de

Yeah here in Europe even gliders have had to have it for a long time. I understand military flights don't operate it in actual battle conditions but this wasn't a case where that was needed.

Wow creepy alert. How do they think this is even remotely ok??

by wkat4242 1y ago
Yeah I'm not saying to buy a kindle to use KOReader. I just had the kindles and didn't really want to get rid of them, it saved me having to buy new hardware.

Kavita was mainly designed as a comic reader, but it has recently invested a lot of time into epub quality of life features, I can recommend it. It already supported epub but lately it feels more like a first class citizen.

by wkat4242 1y ago
Me too. When they removed the option to download books I liberated everything I had ever bought, moved to Kavita+koreader and will never buy a kindle book again. I jailbroke both kindles. And use koreader on them which now supports progress

That the battle is lost doesn't mean we should stop fighting. Even the war being lost isn't a reason to. The equivalent in the real world is resistance.

And it's already happening in the form of Google play integrity API. Many apps already require it. It's just a matter of time before they push similar tech to the desktop. And on mobile it hurts more because many banks now require

Welcome to the US maybe. Here in Europe it's not like that, though there's certainly stuff going wrong. But not this, really.
