  • Mounting in general is a system call, loop mounting is the particular case that is required for features like snap to work

  • It also lacked a lot of system calls, like ability to loop mount.

  • 15 People Have Died in Crashes Where Tesla Doors Wouldn’t Open | There are no official statistics on the dangers of electric handles. So Bloomberg did its own analysis.

  • What about the passengers? You can't expect them to read the manual of every vehicle they go into. In an accident the driver could be incapacitated.

  • Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken

  • I use copilot at work all the time and it's incredibly useful. However, it needs careful supervision to produce good quality. And obviously, you need to understand code and what quality means to be able to guide it, otherwise it's just the blind guiding the blind.

    Personally I think the problem is the culture which doesn't promote quality, but speed and the wow factor. You don't get promoted for releasing a bug free product, you get promoted for making yourself noticed among the upper management.

  • Last time absolute morons had absolute power got us 2 world wars that cost millions of lives. But sure, let's do it again, it will be different™ this time.

  • Elon Musk says he needs $1 trillion to control Tesla's robot army. Yes, really.

  • He has enough money to pay an actual army

  • The amount of mental gymnastics to come up with (and justify) this is insane

  • Mine have hinges that open, you can remove them by pushing up to remove from the hinges. My parents have one with magnets, but i don't recommend it. The magnets get rusty, and they aren't that well attached, some screens fell and broke with stronger wind.

  • Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann

  • No, bluetooth is not better. Bluetooth has latency which is bad for anything that needs realtime audio, like video games or any kind of live performance. It also runs on 2.4 like every other electronic Wireless devices making it prone to interference. And it's yet another device to keep charged all the time.

    USB C is also inferior because you need dongles which increase complexity of your setup, it's more prone to failures. Like audio cutting off every x minutes because connection is just slightly loose or other electronic gremlins. I'm saying this having just had a gig and the MD's phone we relied on for the metronome started acting up during the performance not recognizing the dongle until a reboot.

    Audio jacks were simple, analog, worked perfectly fine and delivered high quality audio. What we have now is overengineered slop that is less reliable and more expensive.

  • The AI company Perplexity is complaining their bots can't bypass Cloudflare's firewall

  • You could say they are... Perplexed.

  • I use powerpoint all the time. Impress is very far behind in terms of usability and basic functionality. But I'm hopeful it will get better as adoption increases.

  • That's 188k euro that can be used to improve the quality of open source software.

  • Also, agriculture is awful... You can't make a living unless you have a lot of product to sell. You can't have a lot of product to sell unless you mechanize. The equipment is prohibitively expensive, so it's only worth doing it if you have a lot of land. And even then, to get decent yields, you need to sow at a specific time, harvest at a specific time, use expensive fertilizers, use expensive machines that can reduce wasting seed or fertilizer.

    Even worse, you are at the mercy of wheather. Which, lately, has been shit. And everyone is trying to fuck you, from assholes controlling the markets, the assholes who make and fix the equipment (like John Deere), the asshole neighbor who let their animals escape, and mother nature with pests, diseases, and bad weather.

    Every mistake can be costly. Broken equipment is expensive to repair. You might need to build expensive silos to store your product and sell it when the market is more favorable. Expensive because they have to keep things dry and free of pests, mice and rats love cereals. Harvesting when the cereals are too wet is bad, because it can rot and grow into plants, and drying is expensive (but you might be forced to do it because the weather is bad and you want to avoid a complete loss).

  • RFK Jr’s ‘MAHA’ report found to contain citations to nonexistent studies

  • Not checking is one thing, but seeing so many people actually dismissing when someone calls out the factual errors is so infuriating. Like not only you are an ignorant dumbfuck who doesn't bother checking the evidence, but you are stupid too and criticize people who point out the glaring flaws and cry out cancel culture. Or, of course, you are an awful person who doesn't care about the truth as long as you get your way.

  • VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI

  • You can take ownership of a lot of it. Thanks to GDPR, major platforms offer ways to export data like photos, videos, activity on their platforms, messages etc. Store locally first, avoid over reliance on online platforms for safekeeping your data.

    Also, we need to fight to keep ownership of digital media while we still can. Buy movies and music on physical media so they keep making them. Buy physical books. Buy from DRM free platforms like GoG. As convenient as it may be, avoid over reliance on streaming services.

    And of course, make backups of anything you care about. Only you can keep your data safe. Online services will only keep your data as long as they can exploit it to make money.

  • I seriously don't understand why anyone would use it. It's basically a platform that copies images from the internet and lets you bookmark them. Something browsers had since the 90s. Or you could just download the pictures to a folder, so you can see all the thumbnails.
