Very handy site. Nice 🙂

I pay for it so the TV and web experience is ad free. I use PipePipe on my phone because the native client won’t stop pushing shorts at you.

It’s not like Android is especially open to drive-by contributions anyway. I don’t think really changes much for the downstream consumers of the releases.

We’ll go from Google sucking up all our data to another entity sucking up all our data and selling it to other people. How much funding does it take to keep Chrome running?

Magit is one of Emac’s many superpowers.

Pre-cut with comedy edges as well. But the methodology seemed valid as another poster said, giving cars the same limited eyesight as us seems like under engineering for safety.

Context is king which is why even the biggest models get tied in knots when I try them on my niche coding problems. I’ve been playing a bit with NotebookLM which promises to be interesting with enough reference material but unfortunately when I tried to add the Vulcan specs it complained it couldn’t accept them (copyright maybe?).

We have recently been given clearance to use the Gemini Pro tools with Google office at work. While we are still not using them for code generation I have found the transcription and meeting summary tools very useful and certainly a time saver.

I used to think about it a lot when I was younger because it seemed so unfair that life comes to an end. As I’ve gotten older (and closer to the inevitable) I think about it less. Hopefully you’ll get to the point you realise worrying about something you can’t change isn’t productive use of the time you have left. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do what you can to eat well, keep fit and put off that final reckoning as much as you can.

The OSI have had a go: https://opensource.org/ai/open-source-ai-definition

I’ve been using https://containertoolbx.org/ recently to manage my “other distro” requirements. It doesn’t do anything special but works nicely as a wrapper around podman and does all the bind mounts and uid mappings so you can just enter your $HOME as though you have set up your account in a new OS.

I don’t know if the Culture is filmable? Having said that I think they said the same of things like Dune so maybe?

Whatever time I’d get by tuning my start-up would be dwarfed by the BIOS and grub startup dance. I only really reboot when I need to test a kernel.

Old demo crew I formed with school friends when I was a teenager.

Also the PFN page locking patches so device memory can be reliably shared with VMs (used for some of the virtio-gpu modes).

That was a trip down memory lane. I think a lot of the engineers that worked at Transmeta ended up in places like Intel (and maybe Apple?) which tracks with them being an early pioneer in managing power envelopes.

Signal is the non-corporate replacement for What’s App although realistically you end up having both due to network effects.

I can kinda see where the vacuum and (lack of) gravity might help with crystal growth but how do you then return something that sensitive back to earth?

I use foot which is Wayland aware and renders Unicode fonts. Honestly I don’t need much from the terminal itself as I’m usually in tmux to deal with all the “tabs” and scrollback.

I wonder how much of the core has been changed to prevent rebasing onto a more recent QEMU? We’ve done a bunch of cleanups and additions too the x86 emulation since 7.2.

Quite. Servers aren’t free and someone needs to pay the bills and increasingly distribute the moderation load. I’m happy with my Mastodon and following a few federated accounts on threads and bsky. But I’m not going to someone they are a bad person for choosing something that is familiar yet a little different while escaping x/itter.
