You deserve it by grossly understating what Nazis deserve. /s

Hope the new UI fixes the FFT view lagging.

console.warn() to differentiate what you’re looking for from the regular logs.

On Linux it just sticks around as a ghost until it’s closed. Less noticeable but frustrating in its own way.

I think it’s a feedback loop. AI is trained off publicly available datasets like House of Commons records so popular words only get more popular the more AI slop is in there, since LLMs fundamentally just predict the next word given the context without much “logic” behind it.

Given enough time this will make LLMs basically unusable as public data gets contaminated with AI slop. But unfortunately that will also mean the public data itself is basically unusable.

By the fiftieth “your browser is outdated, please upgrade to an up to date browser” on an up to date version of Firefox, but with privacy extensions and on a VPN, yeah forgive me if I harbour some resentment. Not even a captcha challenge half the time, just “you’re not worthy of seeing this website, peasant.” And don’t even think about disabling JS, that gets you blacklisted all the same. And if you’re using Tor, forget about it.

They also block you from loading standalone images, so you can’t download images from search results or even open an image from an article in a new tab. Should I be grateful that they’re saving the website megabytes of server traffic while making it impossible to save stuff offline or use the browser’s zoom tools to get information out of a high resolution image? Also, you’re literally the world’s largest CDN. You’re saying you can’t spare enough of your basically unlimited computational power to let me download a static image you’re probably already cached in every data centre?

Also, they’re literally a man in the middle as a service. And not just in the ISP sense, they control the TLS certificates and can see literally everything you’re sending to or receiving from the website. Including passwords. Including credit cards. Literally defeats the purpose of TLS. And even if the website itself doesn’t use their traffic passthrough service, they infect even more websites with their CDN service, AKA basically one of those old school tracking pixels but holding libraries needed by the site hostage so you can’t block them without breaking the site.

Also also, just because they say their DNS service is “private” doesn’t make it private. Companies have been lying about their privacy policy since privacy policies started being mandated with zero consequences. As Amy from Futurama said, “Fool me seven times, shame on you. Fool me eight or more times, shame on me.”

It always was?

How much you want to bet Cloudflare went to them and was like ‘hey either work for (sorry, “with”) us or we declare you a “suspicious” traffic source and block you.’

The command you want is in the buffered history of a still running terminal that’s doing something you don’t want to close 💀

Makes more sense when you think of it in terms of Google both getting to control the standard and getting to shove their libWebp binaries into Firefox, Linux, Mac/iOS, popular image processing libraries, etc etc (oh but HURR DURR IT’S OPEN SOURCE yeah that doesn’t matter when every project just uses Google’s source code without looking at it because Google generously made it a complete turnkey solution you can just import. This isn’t even a hypothetical, Google has already managed to backdoor literally every device that uses it and it had already been exploited by their darling Israel for ages before someone outside of Google discovered it, you expect me to believe it wasn’t intentional?). Like so many things in the tech world, it’s not for your benefit, it’s for the corporations’.

Google: “Webp is futureproof!”

Also Google: “The future definitely won’t have larger images. That’s illegal.”

Thank you!

No one has mentioned Gitea yet, is there a reason? Genuinely asking.

I mean, which one did you learn in math class? Not saying it’s better, but it’s way more common.

Holy shit even the most accepting state is barely an A-

The original MIT license was selected without deep forethought, primarily to make the code easily auditable

What? Wouldn’t ANY open source license make it easily auditable?

How is this implemented? Is it just functions and the language assumes the first parameter is autofilled with variable.function syntax?

Do Samsung phones even have FM antennas? As far as I know they have to be a minimum length and old school feature phones had a hacky workaround where you had to plug in earbuds to listen to the radio because it was using the earbud cable as an antenna. Modern Samsung phones don’t even have headphone jacks so I can’t imagine they support FM at all. Probably your best bet is to use an internet radio service that has access to the stations you like.

Just use a ternary lol

Somewhat tangential hot take: I REALLY think the scope of free as in beer use of open source projects should be limited to personal and small scale business use only (when the business makes below a certain yearly revenue). It’s infuriating how the biggest tech companies openly use open source software as the base of their products while giving NOTHING in return to those open source projects, and in fact only bash them when they show the least bit of resistance to whatever evil profit driven change they demand the project make. If you’re making billions in revenue using open source software which has saved you R&D money, why shouldn’t the open source project itself be entitled to even half a percent of that which will more than cover all their development costs? I’m so sick of companies seeing open source as free outsourced labour they can exploit. There are also existing licenses that only allow free as in beer use of the software if it’s for personal use or in a worker co-op, which I think is also an interesting approach worth considering.

Alternatively, I think we should seriously explore even more copyleft licenses than AGPL. I think it was either Elastic Search or MongoDB that tried to implement a license requiring every software that depends on the open source version of their software be open source as well? Everyone, including the OSF bashed that decision when it came out, and as far as I know there were indeed a lot of problems with how that license was written, but people also denounced the very concept of going beyond AGPL which I don’t get.
