Proprietary software be like:

try:
    whatever()
except Exception:
    print("oops something went wrong uwu")
    print("also this is purely to get rid of the stack trace because apparently the only thing worse than not handling an exception is scaring the user with anything technical and/or exposing our trade secret architecture")

Oh so you’re saying the Church’s actions speak louder than the Bible itself?

Also assuming you’re Catholic from your other comments.

So, witch burnings, the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades, burning Joan of Arc, selling indulgences, fighting tooth and nail against an English translation of the Bible so normal people can actually read it (and burning the translators for good measure), justifying slavery under the guise of “well we’re saving those slaves by forcing then to become Christian”, generations of science denial and suppression, and Indigenous residential schools. My what a great experience you’ve forced onto this world.

Also, if you’re so confident that experiencing God will turn someone Christian, what’s with all the hell stuff you keep pushing? Sure seems like the fear of eternal torture is your bread and butter way of getting people to believe.

That’s all well and good if you’re already working under the framework that God exists. If I’m not, why should I accept such a fallable and obviously human work as proof that God not only exists, but this specific God exists?

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?
