This is an attempt to flood the desktop interface market of laptops, and likely eventually desktops, with their hardware running their OS so they can enforce attestation at the hardware level across all classes of devices and lock you out o

I already weep deeply for what we have lost, and what we cannot imagine, and what we can imagine and build but nobody would use because they are too ignorant to learn and adapt. My argument for the titlebar is that it was at least researche

Oh hell yeah this is beautiful and a great read. Also given this is MIT licensed, the skybox for my game is a solved problem! All I need is that render where the sun traverses the sky since perspective will be fixed. This allows me to exten

But do you see that title bar buttons are bad explicitly because you have to hunt for title bar edges? That you were more or less forced to adopt these KDE shortcuts so that you could work around the fact that they had cannibalized the titl

> Titlebar buttons and other space-saving measures. This has been net negative. Now everyone thinks it’s ok to shove every control up there and there’s nowhere to grab a window to move it that isn’t also a button. But the OS interprets b

Go to the national train museum in Scranton, PA. I got to see (through critical thinking, not necessarily an outright display) how the modern career of software engineering has its roots in the telegraph lines, built along the rail lines, w

I got let go back in March, and since I've pivoted into building a game. In the 3 weeks leading up to unemployment, I had gotten way more into an old GBA game I used to play back in the day, Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town. The (r

How have you managed to accomplish self-hosted email? I tried similar in 2022 and found it damn near impossible without business static IP or a cloud provider.

Tell me you build stuff like this without telling me you build stuff like this.

That’s just a result of jounce from localized gravity effects and atmospheric pressure disturbances in the moments before impact. Think the ultrasonic typing hacking scene in Pantheon combined with the keyboard bouncing due to rumbling.

>"Working" is not the natural state in a complex world! It's a testament to the combined energy and skill of many people that systems are built and kept working well enough for long enough so as to become invisible. I just

May you ever be the defendant of a patent troll's lawsuit on tech you believed was original.

Do you realise that nearly all of our English terms have roots in either Latin or Greek, and that most of their meanings, submeanings, components, and derivatives such as pluralization still follow the constructs of those languages? That yo

Those are all things made by humans and therefore human constructs. The language and culture they are talking about studying would not be made by humans, they would be made by synthetics. I'm just saying, don't call the study of a

Unironically, let’s get rid of patent laws while we’re at it. The advancement of technology would take off if we did not have patent trolls telling us what you could, and could not use understand and improve. Just imagine what Palworld coul

Say my hobby is statue making. I design and create a concrete statue that I failed to sell. Whether that be because I did not try or because I could not find a buyer, I could not sell it. So I took it, and I put it in my pile of completed w

That is to say nothing of the new technological use cases that could develop from the already existing technology. They just haven’t been thought of developed yet. Things like audio scanning your living space using those Alexa smart speaker

This is a specious argument because selfie cameras are not pointed at people and on at all times, recording whoever somebody is looking at. None of the cameras you're mentioning are pointed at people all the time. When you are wearing

yeah I realized that when I looked up podes downthread. I still like synthetologist better than talologist, in general no one in the common folk knows who Talos is.
85.
by xerox13ster 6mo ago
Yeah, I realize that's more correct. I also realized when someone else downthread bastardized it into synthropologist that the podes part has entirely to do with feet and nothing to do with beings, necessarily. Anthro- -podes is more w

by xerox13ster 6mo ago
Anthropo- is the entire prefix as it relates to human kind. The -thro- does not carry a meaning on its own that can be carried to another word.
87.
by xerox13ster 6mo ago
That's not how the Greek word stems work. Technically it would not be synthetipologist, it would more accurately just be Synthetologist, as the Greek podes suffix means having feet.

Precision of ideas isn't purity of language.

They are state machines so they have a state of being therefore they are beings. Living is an entirely different argument.

I’ve already had my Roko’s basilisk existential breakdown a decade ago, so I don’t really care one way or the other. I just wanna point out that I only called them non-human and I am asking for a precision of language.
