  • Hallowe'en

    These apostrophes are out of control.

  • This but I prefer using a dedicated brush. Call me paranoid but what if an old toothbrush has bits of food stuck in it, wouldn't want that to get into the phone.

  • Not sure why you're downvoted.

    Operating systems often cache disk writes and flush them to underlying devices once in a while. Dismounting (or "ejecting" in Windows terms) forces the writes to be flushed.

    See man 2 fsync.

  • Isn't "birth" defined as the process of being, quoting you, "flopped out of mother's meat curtains"?

  • Yes

  • Pray tell, what kind of context changes the meaning of "thinks"?

  • Yes

  • it thinks

    Please, do not anthropomorphise LLMs.

  • I'm gonna refrain from commenting on the "spyware" accusation, but it is a fact that the company is founded by (ethnic) Russians and the majority of their employees are Russian.

    This is from their LinkedIn; check out "Where they studied", at least the top 4 of those places are Russian:

  • Helix.

  • It is.

    https://zed.dev/ - check out the video on the front page. Most of it (2:08 - 6:18, the whole video is 8:40) is shilling for an integrated LLM.

  • Never finished Mankind Divided though

    Neither did Eidos-Montréal, apparently.

  • Webp

  • I assume, decoding it on the fly? It's possible to encode a JPEG as a JPEG XL losslessly.

  • Webp currently the best image file format.

    Out of the widely supported ones, it's quite good, yeah. Overall, I'd say JPEG XL is the better one. Ironically, only Safari supports it out of the box. Firefox requires a Nightly version with tweaking in about:config. Chrome used to have a feature flag, but has since removed it.

  • Install, maybe. What about updates though? Do you plan to pull out adb for each and every one of them? Or would you rather keep using old, potentially insecure, versions?

  • Yeah, they could just block VPN connections to servers outside the US. OpenVPN's and WireGuard's handshakes are easily identifiable.

    Using obfuscation? Kinda sus that your connection with a single foreign server is transmitting gigabytes of traffic, but you do you.

    Russia already does this, agent Krasnov and his cronies are just following in their footsteps.

  • ISPs putting you behind NAT is not cozy.

    They charge extra for a feature called "static IP". But the IP address not being static is not the issue, for me at least. You could host stuff with a dynamic IP back in 2000s/2010s. But no, now you get to share the same IPv4 address with a bunch of other households, unless you pay extra.
