  • If you can separate the artist's power and wealth from the art, this works, typically when they've been dead for a while. Otherwise you're just feeding them. Rowling herself has used the money to actively fight trans people's rights in court and used her influence to give her actions public backing.

  • Notepad++ Hijacked by State-Sponsored Hackers

    Jump

  • Text editors with plugin support as potential vectors of malware is a pretty well known problem. It's why at the very least organisations should be auditing the plugins used and actively monitoring them.

  • We will ban you and ridicule you in public if you waste our time on crap reports

    Jump

  • Yeah the main developer's blog has a lot of interesting and stupid examples of reports. At least before he could laugh at the silly reports but AI seems genuine until it doesn't, by which time you realise you've entirely wasted that time. daniel.haxx.se if you're interested.

    What books would you recommend to improve or learn something new?

  • Histomat of F/OSS: We should reclaim LLMs, not reject them

    Jump

  • Tldr; we shouldn't be idealistic, we should accept that LLMs stole from FOSS code, we should accept reality and instead of abandoning daddy GitHub we should ask them super nicely if they can pretty please open-source the training models trained on our stolen code.

    I don't understand how the author simultaneously holds the position "we should accept reality" and "GitHub/Microsoft will open up their models if we ask them to".

  • Exploring Dash to Dock: (Probably) The Most Downloaded GNOME Extension

    Jump

  • Only because I otherwise prefer KDE, nothing against GNOME, it's just preference.

  • Any idea why was the Dracula theme removed from Mint?

    Jump

  • I don't know about mint specifically but I saw a while ago that the Dracula theme was owned by jetbrains so open source derivatives tended to play on the name like "darcula". Could be a licensing thing.

  • Exploring Dash to Dock: (Probably) The Most Downloaded GNOME Extension

    Jump

  • I would always use KDE on a desktop/laptop, but as soon as I have touch hardware (eg an old surface laptop), GNOME does win unfortunately.

  • Removed

    Are the majority Venezuelans actually happy trump just stole their president?

    Jump

  • This seems to be the European take too from what I've seen.

  • The cost of AI slop could cause a rethink that shakes the global economy in 2026

    Jump

  • I know a few people who subscribe who I never would have expected to do so, but I also know people who have started asking "why does Google show me an AI summary all the time when I don't need it?" I think any sheen it had is diminishing, slowly but surely.

  • It doesn't help that most people don't know that there isn't such a thing as "The NHS". It's just a brand that the state run health services use. As others have said, NHS Scotland and NHS Wales are entirely separate entities, who report to entirely different local governments.

  • Is Britain’s working class too weak to carry out a revolution?

    Jump

  • Starmer, at least according to polling data, is less popular than all of them because he doesn't appeal to any of them. He isn't right enough for the Tories, Reform, or centre-right labour supporters, he's not left enough for core labour voters nor left labour voters. He was too harsh on Israel for the right, and too harsh on Palestine for the left. He has pissed off every possible political ideologue and everyone in the middle is just hearing about how pissed off everyone is. He could not have spent his political capital in a worse way than he has. I don't actually think people hate him. I think it's just that noone likes him. Say what you will about Boris, Truss, Sunak, Cameron, May, they all had their detractors but they actually had allies, or people to whom they were at least trying to appeal. Starmer doesn't have anyone, and it will be his downfall.

  • Help me understand bash syntax

    Jump

  • Your syntax is fine, but not all commands/programs accept input from the pipe, or more accurately from stdin. Looking at the man page for file (https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/file.1.html) I can't see a stdin option, so you have to pass each of the files from your head output as arguments to file.

  • Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog

    Jump

  • I thought we were unique in this but frankly everywhere in the "western" world is talking about the same things. EU has chat control, Australia has similar efforts, USA aren't pushing for privacy at all so it's not a uniquely British problem.

  • What is your development environment?

    Jump

  • It's a programming community, you're programming, you're fine.

  • Whats the worst book anyone has ever recommended you?

    Jump

  • Watching the series on netflix I had the same reaction.

  • What YouTube channel to you has degraded in time?

    Jump

  • Basically any channel that started doing "reaction" content. Oh you're reading the top page of Reddit today? Cool, what creative value does that have to me? Absolutely none. Goodbye. I get that it's really popular but I have no idea why, and I get it's cheap to make but it's also shit, so you get what you pay for I guess.

    The only exception to this is Jimmy Broadbent who occasionally does his "Sim Racing Stewards" series which is basically his take on Reddit user submitted clips of their online racing mishaps. I find it really interesting to watch because he has so much sim racing experience and, albeit less, experience of real world racing with real life stewards and racing rules. It's entertaining and interesting and I want to know his opinion on these incidents because he has enough context to have an opinion, and doesn't act like his opinion is gospel.

  • I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right.

    Jump

  • How is what you're describing different to what the author is talking about? Isn't it essentially the same as "AI do this thing for me", "no not like that", "ok that's better"? The trouble the author describes, ie the solution being difficult to change, or having no confidence that it can be safely changed, is still the same.
