  • Stop use docker

    Jump

  • I like containers. But they do have a habit of nurturing cludgy temporary hacks into permanent infrastructure, by sweeping all the ugly bits under the big whale-shaped rug.

  • Ofc, Apple being Apple, I wouldn’t put it past them to artificially “break” things or arbitrarily introduce limits between RCS and iMessage

    I’m guessing RCS support will be as barebones as possible while still technically functioning. All of the fancy bells and whistles will remain exclusive to iMessage.

    Some iMessage features might not be possible to implement with RCS I suppose. Maybe RCS messages will get a different colour. All Apple said in the WWDC keynote was RCS would be supported, they didn’t elaborate any further.

  • Photoshop Terms of Service grants Adobe access to user projects for ‘content moderation’ and other purposes

    Jump

  • The content is being uploaded to Adobe's servers, they likely have the right and may even be legally required to moderate it to some degree.

    This yet another reminder that the cloud is just somebody else's computer. Somebody who might want to impose some degree of control with what is done with their computer, for whatever reason.

  • Photoshop Terms of Service grants Adobe access to user projects for ‘content moderation’ and other purposes

    Jump

  • A lot of open source graphics software is made by programmers who also need to edit images sometimes. Both the lack of UI polish and featureset choices make more sense when looked at from that angle.

    However, a lot of the criticism that gets thrown at these programs is also a bit unfounded. I regularly see people dunking on GIMP for not being a pixel-perfect clone of Photoshop for free. There is more than one way to design an image editor, and inability of some to learn another is really a user issue. GIMP could be better, but it still can and should be GIMP.

    Environment Agency ‘hiding’ report into Lancashire landfill making locals ill

  • Conservatives plan to bring back mandatory National Service

    Jump

  • The military part of the proposed new national service is going to be optional however, those “conscripted” can choose a civilian volunteering path instead. So I’m not sure how this scheme would help with the threat of future conflict when nobody chooses the military option.

    It’s a ridiculous gimmick to distract from the Tories failures in areas people do care about.

  • Removed

    when google bought datasets from reddit

    Jump

  • I’d say it’s more that parents (companies) should be more responsible about what they tell their kids (customers).

    Because right now the companies have a new toy (AI) that they keep telling their customers can make thunder from clapping. But in reality the claps sometimes make thunder but are also likely to make farts. Occasionally some incredibly noxious ones too.

    The toy might one day make earth-rumbling thunder reliably, but right now it can’t get close and saying otherwise is what’s irresponsible.

  • Jolla's Sailfish OS is moving to a subscription model, new phone (and a privacy-focused AI device) coming soon - Liliputing

    Jump

  • Seems a hard sell to go subscription on such a niche platform. I wish anyone luck that could challenge the Apple/Android duopoly though.

  • KDE Plasma 6.1 Lands Dynamic Triple Buffering Support

    Jump

  • As an aside, can we get back into desktop cubes again? With all the upheaval in Windows land it’s the sort of eye candy that can win over new Linux users.

  • Can anyone recommend a lightweight, stable distro for a thinkpad?

    Jump

  • Any distro should be fairly stable and supported on an older Thinkpad.

    I’m currently using Debian stable on my X220 and it’s rock solid.

  • Rabbit Gaslit Me, So I Dug Deeper

    Jump

  • I think it’s becoming fair to label a lot of commercial AI “scams” at this point, considering the huge gulf between the hype and the end results.

    Open source projects are different due to their lack of commercialisation.

    Almost a third of household smart meters not working properly, says Citizens Advice

  • Elders [Alex Krokus]

    Jump

  • I have a ThinkPad X220 that recently turned 13, with SSD and RAM upgrades, basic maintenance, and Linux it’s still running great for plenty of tasks.

    Plus it’s so well built I could probably stick it in a plate carrier and use it as body armour. Doesn’t seem to matter how much it gets dropped or dropped onto, ol’ Thinky keeps on chugging.

  • Rishi Sunak announces 4 July general election

    Jump

  • Parliament will be dissolved on 30th May. When the Commons is dissolved all business is ended and MPs stop being MPs. When the Lords dissolves business ends but Lords still remain Lords.

    The government still remains and ministers keep their positions, but is effectively only a caretaker for the pre-election period, and cannot enact new polices except in exceptional circumstances.

    The campaign period proper starts once Parliament is dissolved. Parties will publish manifestos shortly after, TV debates may be organised etc.

  • Rishi Sunak announces 4 July general election

    Jump

  • My worst fear is not a Tory comeback but a lurch in more radical and populist direction if Labour fail to start visibly turning things around after the first term. It's unrelated to expect many if any first term miracles considering the state the country is in, but people are going to need to feel some sort of progress to stop the frustration boiling over.
