It’s not as round as 65536, but it’s still round enough for me.

Now I’m just imagining a table or something with deceptive appearances where it seems narrow, but the legs sit wider, so you’re prone to hitting your little toe, called “FFFUCKING OWWWuh!”, but in Swedish of course

Tbh I was thinking more about how I as an Estonian would pronounce it and what language that would sound closest to.

FükkenScälden sounds more like Swedish to me tbh.

I mean it IS a nice round number and you can’t tell me any different.

They said “classic looking exterior” which the new beetle doesn’t have. But problem is, you can’t really have that, largely due to safety regulations, etc.

I suppose they’re extremely common in comparison to other countries. I’ve never heard of them happening in mine since the 90s when we actually had violent crime.

We still have car theft, it’s just that they get stolen while parked.

Extremely common in absolute terms? Hell nah, there are a lot of unpleasant things more likely to happen to you in the US than carjackings.

I think the idea here is more that there’s one rider support agent per like 100 riders at any time vs one driver per rider

Qbittorrent, plex or jellyfin and if you’re into it, the arr suite for automation, all configured in a single docker compose file. It’s beautiful. But I don’t know if it’s as nice under Windows (if that’s what you’re using). For Linux it’s definitely super nice

The underlying issue is that nobody wants to develop using any of the available cross-platform toolkits that you can compile into native binaries without an entire browser attached. You could use Qt or GTK to build a cross-platform application. But if you use Electron, you can just run the same application on the browser AND as a standalone application.

Me? I’m considering developing my next application in Qt out of all things because it does actually have web support via WASM and I want to learn C++ and gain some Qt experience. Good idea? Probably not.

At that point you’re running some sort of server on it probably.

For which, it’s not even the most cost effective hardware tbh. There are X86 based tiny PCs for good prices used

Okay what the hell is wrong with it

It took me three times to convince it that there’s 3 r’s in strawberry…

Commercial ones would work I think, but viewing angles can be off on at least outdoor models.

Well thing is, they all track you to some point.

Specs wise, LG still makes some of the best TVs. You want 4k 120Hz, they’ve got you. But if you feel morally unable to support a company that has opt-out tracking like this, you’re a bit more limited. I thought maybe Sony’s better, but nope. There’s instructions on how to disable ACR on their TVs too. Philips comes with Roku or Google TV, both of which snoop on you, but I don’t know if they do the automatic content recognition thing.

Dumb TVs exist, but good luck finding one with a decent resolution AND price.

But even then, is the water truly consumed? Does it get contaminated with something like the cooling water of a nuclear power plant? Or does the water just get warm and then either be pumped into a water body somewhere or ideally reused to heat homes?

There’s loads of problems with the energy consumption of AI, but I don’t think the water consumption is such a huge problem? Hopefully, anyway.

It’s currently used by a billion people worldwide. If it was irrelevant, devs wouldn’t be worried about it breaking things now would they

If tracking being off by default was the issue, the share of Firefox users should be consistently under 1% because who even turns on tracking?

The reality is, nobody outside of tech circles uses it anymore. Hell, a lot of devs even prefer to not support Firefox if they want to do something non-standard that Chromium allows and Firefox doesn’t.

Safari sucks but it has actual usage numbers and is currently the only reason not to put a big ass “this site only runs on Chromium” error on a lot of websites.

The Safari-Chromium illusion of choice might be a better deal for iOS users but that would still be only 2 browsers to choose from. Mozilla ain’t gonna invest in anything that isn’t AI or advertising. Firefox on iOS is a pipe dream.

Before I get flak: yes I know Safari sucks

Here is my two cents: The author mentioned you can’t have a social app without push notifications: I hate the idea that everything should be able to grab my attention. Though obviously the support is needed.

But also, Safari is the last browser stopping Google from total market dominance. Firefox is irrelevant. And this is coming from a Firefox user who remembers when 2.0 came out…

I do wish things were better.

Flanders is a devout Christian, but one that actually follows the teachings so he takes the love thy neighbour part seriously.

Honestly, it’s been pretty good for me once I say “Hmm I don’t think this workflow works with this version”

I think the 4o model might just be better than 3.5 was at this.
