Ah yeah, missed that 🤦‍♂️

Because this is the internet, I can’t tell if the whoosh goes to your downvoters or you. I think you were joking, but that second sentence makes me wonder…

I pay for Nebula - $30 a year which is about £22.50. That won’t even cover two months of YouTube Premium (£12 pm), and there’s not even the discounted yearly option in the UK.

And “if you’re not paying you’re the product” is wrong - YouTube/Google would still be datamining my viewing habits to sell to advertisers.

Perhapsburg they are

Only if enough people do it. Then again, loads scrapers outside of AI already pretend to be normal browsers.

The term you want is “cross compile”. I’ve developed simple programs for the Pi on Windows and it’s simple enough to produce a static binary (using Rust, anyway). When extra dependencies come in it’s better to develop on the same OS, but targeting different architectures is the easy bit.

Bad wording on my part, I wasn’t disagreeing. My file server has a /files directory because it saves me a few key strokes and because I can.

Is Gobo case-insensitive by default? Typing those seems annoying.

That’s an old image, though - Windows has a C:\Users\youruser setup like /home/youruser for a while now.

I find the %APPDATA% thing way less convenient than ~/.config and I’m quite happy when programs have the “bug” that they still use ~/.config on Windows.

The source story is worth a read.

Marrero’s background is in Navy intelligence, and she earned a master’s degree in business administration with a concentration in information security and digital management

Incredible.

she soon changed the “STINKY” Wi-Fi network name to another moniker that looked like a wireless printer — even though no such general-use wireless printers were present on the ship

Why not just switch off broadcasting the SSID?

[The CO and XO] then conducted another sweep inside the ship. Although the network that appeared to be a wireless printer appeared on their personal devices during their search, neither made additional inquiries regarding that network

No-one’s coming out of this looking good.

Marrero’s secret Starlink dish was removed the same day, and Marrero told another unidentified crew member the next day that it was authorized for in-port use — prompting sailors to re-install the illegal Starlink.

It just keeps going!

I like that idea of using the different fonts for e.g. Copilot suggestions - reminds me of reading Asterix comics as a kid when they’d use gothic black for the Goth’s speech, etc.

edit: e.g.

There’s kroki as well, which includes Mermaid, Excalidraw, GraphViz, PlantUML, etc.

I thought it was clever, but now I’m seeing what I assume you’re seeing.

There’s moderation per community and per server. There’s no “fediverse moderator”, of course, but I think you’re vaguely worrying for nothing.

I was reading through hoping they’d show they’d considered the impact on life, but nope. Two to three volts doesn’t sound a lot, but if you’re a small creature living half in brine it might be a big deal.

Plus the change in the sand that is the whole point, as you say.

Probably not; I’d expect the places where you need something like UUIDv7 (large, eventually-consistent systems) to not be entirely suitable because you can have records added out of sequence. You’d have to add a received-at field - but in that case you may as well just use a standard incrementing ID as your primary key.

In time-based pagination, the suggested fix to lots of data in a selected timespan is:

simply adding a limit to the amount of records returned (potentially via a query parameter) transparently solves it.

This means clients can’t see all the results, unless you add a way to view other pages of data, which is just pagination again. Or is the intended design that clients view either the first x results (the default) or view all results?

The problem with articles like OPs and others is that they don’t allow custom sorting, which is often a requirement, e.g. interfaces that present the data in a table, where column headers can be clicked to sort.

I don’t think it’s even enshittification (probably costs more to run than Assistant), it’s just Google desperate to find a use for its new AI.

“Disney understandably may want to benefit from the privacy and confidentiality that arbitration brings, rather than having a wrongful death suit heard in public with the associated publicity,” says Jamie Cartwright, partner at law firm Charles Russell Speechlys.

If that’s what they want, they clearly never heard of the Streisand Effect. This is disgraceful behaviour from Disney, and I hope they come to severely regret it.

Yup, I think a lot of people just use their web browser for everything, and they can definitely just switch. Outside of work, how many non-techies have set up their email to use a native program? Very few, in my experience.

I think documents are sometimes the exception, since there’s a sizable (perhaps older) group that like to use Word for everything.
