Yeah, I'm nodding in agreement here for the most part. I didn't mean to suggest crazy helicopter parenting surveillance nonsense, just ... the idea that giving young minds the whole dang net and letting them loose without any guid

I'm kindof horrified that your immediate response is to defend a beheading video as something a 13 year old should watch. As a normal thing. What the actual hell. Like, the rest of your argument has some good points, but you led with s

I keep coming back to the actual solution being to keep kids off the internet period. If you are under 18, and online without some sort of adult supervision, we have failed you. Maybe that ship has sailed with so much coursework requiring o

I maintain that if the NSA ever really needs to know something, if I somehow possess critical knowledge in a legitimate matter of national security, they are welcome to visit. (They'll have to settle for coffee, I'm not much of a

This suggests that the main thing Linux needs, for broader enterprise adoption, is a much improved "log into something that quacks like Active Directory" solution. Not actual Active Directory, obviously that just contributes to th

You're quite right. Still, it's a decent example of blaming the tool for the actions of its users. The law clearly exerted enough pressure to convince the tool maker to modify that tool against the user's wishes.

Helpfully the law already disagrees. That Xerox machine tampers with the printed result, leaving a faint signature that is meant to help detect forgeries. You know, for when users copy things that are actually illegal to copy. Xerox machine

I'm starting to sloooowly build up an audience as I work on my game project, and I can already tell I do not at all have the necessary drive to build that audience as large as it needs to be for the game to "go viral" based o

I suppose this is a dangerous counterargument to make, especially as I'm not a substance user at all myself, but... what's wrong with wanting to seek out novel experiences? I'd much rather folks who wish to do this be able to

This is actually one of my favorite reasons to go for a hike! I can put a little music on to keep my mind occupied (but not always; nature is nice) and then, since I really can't read or be distracted, my mind is happy to wander. I mus

You seem to be missing that the translation part isn't the expensive part, it's the validation and review. Separately, maybe this is just me, but having data actually flow through my hands is necessary for full comprehension. Just

An LLM can certainly try to consume an extremely poorly specified bug report, in half English half the user's native language, then consume the entire codebase and guess what the devil they're actually referring to. My guess is th

Even putting aside the ethical issues, it's rare that I want to copy/paste code that I find into my own project without doing a thorough review of it. Typically if I'm working off some example I've found, I will hand-t

I wasn't really meaning to defend AT&T as a good option, just a slightly less evil one. I'm surprised I have a choice at all out here in the sticks. A lot of places just have one provider.

This practice, and fear of the exact sort of nonsense in this article, plus wanting to keep my wifi bandwidth free for the network I actually connect to, is why I'm still on AT&T DSL in my area, at 50 mbps. Comcast is available at

It's pretty clear that in like half of these the "researcher" is just copy pasting the followup questions back into whatever LLM they used originally. What a colossal waste of everyone's time. I think the only saving gra

I've found success with silicon plugs, typically marketed at swimmers. They're like little balls of soft material that you roll up and squish over the entrance, without inserting into the ear. They lay pretty flat and I can sleep

I suppose the main thing keeping me from being interested in this thing is that every 2-in-1 convertible I've tried in the past was *heavy* and *cumbersome* to use as an actual tablet. I wonder how this holds up, but I'm not sure

I'm still upset that I picked up a set of those little fruit cup things advertising "no added sugar", only to be met by intensely bitter and gross flavor. Turns out they added monk fruit extract instead, as an artificial swee

This came up in the anti-cheat thread, and honestly it's a really good point that counters my initial security reaction. Accessibility features *can* break the security model if, and only if, the user permits them to do so. That's

There is no reason Linux could not support sensible userland anti-cheat protections. What Linux wrappers mostly refuse to actually support is rootkits and exploits. Linux should not support rootkits and exploits, and frankly neither should

And the counter is fairly straightforward: any client-side cheat detection has been broken. You can't trust the client. It doesn't work, your server just thinks it works because it's lying to you now. Client-side cheat detect

I'll chime in here as a game developer: my upcoming release will be an NES cartridge[0] and probably a Steam app. I'll be adding no DRM, because I generally trust that folks that weren't going to pay aren't going to be c

As a fitness newbie, my first and most immediate feedback is confusion at the otherwise delightful muscle selection interface, which seems to be required during onboarding before I can see what the product does. I'm loosely aware of &q

Two situations immediately come to mind, though the second is admittedly domain specific: 1. If I actually pause execution, the thing I'm trying to debug will time out some network service, at which point trying to step forward is only

Oh fun, we were wondering where all the traffic was coming from. :P After finding it 5 or so years ago, NESDev rapidly evolved into my full time hobby, and I couldn't be more thrilled. The community is full of knowledgable nerds, and f
