  • Raw milk fans plan to drink up as experts warn of high levels of H5N1 virus

    Jump

  • The problem is that idiots drinking H5N1 milk might bring about human-to-human transmission of it which will be a dire situation. To date, around 50% of the 200-something human cases resulted in death. For comparison, the worst mortality rates of covid were around 20-25% in the very beginning.

  • Sen. Lindsey Graham Suggests Nuking Gaza, Calls Hiroshima ‘the Right Decision’

    Jump

  • Is your argument for bombing being the right decision the same (that it resulted in less bloodshed overall)? If so, how can you estimate the body count of the alternative (a prolonged conventional war, I assume)?

  • Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT

    Jump

  • OpenAI clearly already scraped the pre-LLM (aka actually useful) content from SO, this entire deal is happening after the fact to avoid litigation.

  • Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 ad

    Jump

  • I used to keep my steam games on a separate windows 10 partition and it worked exactly as you describe after a reinstall, it was all there. It’s still incredibly cool that this works on Linux and we get to use it as daily driver without being forced to dual boot for games. A windows installation still lingers on my desktop but it’s been years since I booted into it.

  • Github Enshitification, This comment has been minimized. Sign in to view

    Jump

  • I went from a company that used github to one that uses gitlab. I thought it was going to be great and was excited for using a new thing. But it’s really clunky in comparison.

  • Majority of Americans now use ad blockers

    Jump

  • FWIW, the manifest v3 implementation in firefox is not user-hostile. They made it compatible, but the limitations on filtering are not there.

  • Signal and Threema want nothing to do with WhatsApp

    Jump

  • I really miss that fleeting moment when all messaging apps were using either open protocols or at least they weren’t hostile against alternative clients. It was really nice to be able to use one client to log in to gtalk, msn etc. at the same time.

  • ‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood

    Jump

  • Youtube never asked for my ID (I’m in the EU). Which country is this?

  • Spotify just changed their TOS, giving them unprecedented rights to create "derivative works" from audiobooks

    Jump

  • Your third point is an active research topic, we can’t explain exactly what generative (and other) models do beyond their generic operation.

  • Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older PCs

    Jump

  • Why?

  • Broadcom terminates VMware's free ESXi hypervisor

    Jump

  • What’s the background of the lxd-incus fork? On the project page they just state that it was forked after Canonical took over lxd - but what does that mean, exactly? How did they take over an open project? Was there a technical reason for a fork?

  • FLOSS communities right now

    Jump

  • It’s the worst way to document something (doesn’t even make sense to call it documentation). It’s closed source and the content is only accessible if you register with an email address.

  • Notion acquires privacy-focused productivity platform Skiff | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Ah ok, I’ll take another look then. Thanks!

  • This link opens to a thread about email providers. Is this what you meant to post?

  • The president seized 1% of El Salvador's population. Their children pay the consequences

    Jump

  • You assume that bad things only happen to bad people. This is called the just-world belief and it’s a major source of cognitive dissonance today. If they get locked up as innocent people, that would be injustice, therefore you assume they are gangbangers.

  • Music Piracy Is Back, Baby

    Jump

  • For me, it’s neither the price nor the quality of apps (idgaf, it plays music in the background). The thing that pushes me towards piracy is the same as for movies and TV shows: disappearing content. Because of content licensing deals, every piece of media is temporary on a service. I do rewatch movies from time to time and it’s infuriating if it’s gone (or rather would be, if I was still paying for any streaming service). This is especially true for music. My Spotify favorites list has a huge percentage of greyed out entries (and I’m pretty sure there are things that were outright deleted).

  • Apple refuses to relax its iron grip on iPhones in Europe

    Jump

  • Pretty sure this serves two purposes: to not leave money on the table (as terrible as that sounds, the non-EU market is still milkable for them), and to prepare investor sentiment for the inevitable loss of revenue in a year or so.

  • 'It hasn't delivered': The spectacular failure of self-checkout technology

    Jump

  • I don’t like self checkouts, but not because of that. Probably depends on what chains you go to / where in the world you live, but it was almost always very slow and full of errors for me (most of the time, incorrectly detecting the weight of either side, thus stopping the whole process and making me wait for a human to unlock it). And even if everthing goes well, I have no chance to even reach half the speed that a cashier can.

    The one exception is a clothing store that used RFID tags. You put the items in the box and everything is instantly scanned, no mistakes. If it were like that everywhere, I would much prefer it.

  • Discord is laying off 17 percent of employees

    Jump

  • This has nothing to do with torrenting apart from a similar sounding word.
