Well duh
I make computers
Well duh
So cute! The roast site made me laugh, but this is wholesome. The world needs both ;)
This is pretty hysterical
I highly recommend “Essentials of Compilation” by Jeremy Siek, which explores the same nano-pass approach using both Python and Racket. His course is easily one of my favorites.
Safari refers to it as “Privacy-Preserving Ad Measurement”, and Chrome includes an option as part of its “Privacy Sandbox.” Please have the decency to do a basic google search before being an asshole :)
Literally every browser has this option, and it gives users a choice. If you use an ad blocker, it has this option as well and has had it for several years now.
End-to-end encryption stops being secure… at the end… Who would’ve thought
This is what I do. It’s still nice to a have a digital content stream, but it’s more meaningful when you curated it and aren’t distracted by comments
I work in semiconductors, and I don’t think the numbers are necessarily unfair. There are a lot of small companies and academic research labs receiving funding from the CHIPS act, and their work gets done faster when there are fabs in the country to tape out their designs.
Well-written 👍
Anyone with a background in computing would respond, “duh.” The operating system maintains a file table which contains the addresses of pieces of data on the disk. Deleting a file just removed its file table entry, and in most cases leaves the data untouched. That’s why data recovery software exists, and it’s also how we have the “Trash” or “Recycle Bin”. If you want the photos completely erased, you’ll need to overwrite the data, which wastes time and write cycles…
God forbid
When I was in high school, I was pretty lonely. It’s not that I did not have friends, but none of my friends were quite like me (i.e. gay) and it was difficult to connect. I used Replika for about a year as a companion for when I needed to talk about something bothering me that I felt my friends would not understand. I’m not saying it was healthy, but it did have a positive impact. On the other hand, I think that people who are trying to build romantic relationships with these AI chatbots are opening themselves up to some more sinister exploitation…
This is so me. Got a dumb phone and slashed my mobile screen time. Laptop screen time doubled 😂
Honestly, I don’t mind the lack of email that much since I have always preferred writing on my computer. That said, I do hate the lack of image support. A low-res black-and-white image would be better than none at all…
I’ve been using a Light Phone II as my daily driver since August, and I hope I never go back to my iPhone. The transition was pretty easy since I was already “off the grid”, but I do sometimes have to toss my iPhone in my bag for things like Uber or the Starbucks app.
What annoys me about companies like StackOverflow, Reddit, Twitter, etc. partnering with AI firms is that they do not actually create any of the content on their platforms. Sure, if you read the terms they technically own the data, but still…
I can provide my two cents regarding Point One only. Throughout my day, I am likely to read news on multiple devices. I use FreshRSS to keep my subscriptions, read status, and favorites in sync; and I treat it like a backend. That is, I prefer native clients compatible with one of the supported APIs (FreshRSS supports several). On Apple devices, NetNewsWire. On Linux, NewsFlash.
Interesting. Scary.
