  • Mind you that, if you have to make a mental note, they have won.

  • People say this but, if advertising didn't work, companies would have stopped paying for ads long time ago. It works for them, we view ads and then we are willing to pay more for a product that is worth less; it's this simple.

    The only solution for us is to avoid ads at all cost.

  • What is "left-pad"? If it does what I think it does, doing that with a LLM would be very wasteful.

    EDIT: I remember the event now. Obviously you wouldn't use a dependency for that. I think I understood your comment now anyway.

  • I guess forking is an easy way to benefit from others' work.

    I'm wondering if there is any game developer that chooses this fork knowing that it will likely not keep up with upstream features and fixes.

  • I think the point is that the convenience of being able to ride a bike without having a helmet at hand is something beneficial for the group. That it, there would be fewer cyclists if wearing a helmet was mandatory, and that would harm cyclists as a group.

    By all means, if you consistently go over 20km/h on bike, wear a helmet, as at that speed it's starting to get dangerous.

  • Not something for general users but, for organisations and public figures, having a platform with only verified entities is valuable.

    For general users: Mastodon and the Fediverse.

  • People can still switch to Mastodon. After all, the only thing Twitter offers is the content made by users. If users switch, Twitter has no content.

  • It was born as a villain from the very beginning.

  • Linux Mint has been so great and stable that is really hard to get people to move to something else.

  • If you turn VPN off, you lose.

  • Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

  • My rule is not to follow anything that has not completed already. 5 seasons can still let you hanging or can still turn to shit.

  • Is this right? Out of curiosity, how do these sites flag themselves as content for adults?

    Obviously, this is the solution. Sites that do this correctly, and software that detects the metadata. Parents are the ones that need to choose the correct software and enable the correct settings.

    Sites that do not set the correct metadata are legible to be banned by authorities.

  • That one was compromised. The good fork is "I still don't care about cookies".

  • A period (already a small character) + a space is sufficient to separate sentences.

    Also, if there are more than one space together, it's hard to count them. That is, the more spaces you keep together, the harder it gets to know whether you've put the correct number of spaces.

  • I'd rather Mozilla ask for donations than to give me ads and bloatware. I'd be more than happy to donate periodically. If they don't correct the current course, I'm not sure for how much longer they'll keep loyal users like me. I'm sick of having to turn a bunch of things off every time, and of having to be vigilant about the new crap they keep introducing.

  • If it's to favor bikes over scooters, that's probably fine. If it's to please the car lobby, that's a sad, corrupt step back for society and democracy.

  • If all the people they killed come back alive and they're still banned, all the killing they did wasn't the reason for the ban.

    ...but they won't come back.

  • I think it is clear that it's just a matter of time that a faster, more secure, free and open source operating system will win over a worse alternative.
