Thats the British way!

So labours solution to not being in power was to outflank the Tories on the right. Reform's path to power is outflanking Labour and the Tories on the right. Restore Britain's plan is outflank all of them on the right. Where the fuck is the viable "outflank everyone on the left" party?

Got to disagree there. Websites should work without js. Sure it shouldn't have fancy animations or whatever but I should be able to read it.

Or modern vendor-locked in devices

If you can separate the artist's power and wealth from the art, this works, typically when they've been dead for a while. Otherwise you're just feeding them. Rowling herself has used the money to actively fight trans people's rights in court and used her influence to give her actions public backing.

Text editors with plugin support as potential vectors of malware is a pretty well known problem. It's why at the very least organisations should be auditing the plugins used and actively monitoring them.

Genuinely worried about that when Gabe passes the torch. I'm glad most of their Linux work is going back to the commons and to open source tools so even if they do become shit we'll still have decent compatibility.

Yes it's indirect, but remember that Microsoft is one of their biggest competitors. This isn't about seeing absolute profit from every change, it's about improving linux as a platform to make it more viable for consumers, which will make it more viable for developers, which pushes more people to Steam and SteamOS as their first Linux distro and first destination for games. By making the platform perform extremely well on older/cheaper hardware they also create a market for other businesses to create hardware (Legion Go for example) which will increase the PC market and increase the number of people using steam since it's the defacto monopoly. Yes, they won't necessarily get every penny from every sale of hardware or even games since other game stores exist, but they will get a huge percentage from the majority of people in the PC market.

What business purpose does it serve to continually improve their product? Hmm. Gee. Hmmmmmmm. Geeeeeeeeee. I'm stumped.

I was complete opposite. Filling up the bio generators was like a ticking clock and it stressed me out so much.

Would you want to publicly lead an explicitly anti Trump, essentially anti-capitalist movement right now?

 

Looking for recommendations for developers who have been around a few years and stagnating a bit. Searching around I just get the same recommendations over and over so please don't say "Clean Code" or "Pragmatic Programmer".

Tldr; we shouldn't be idealistic, we should accept that LLMs stole from FOSS code, we should accept reality and instead of abandoning daddy GitHub we should ask them super nicely if they can pretty please open-source the training models trained on our stolen code.

I don't understand how the author simultaneously holds the position "we should accept reality" and "GitHub/Microsoft will open up their models if we ask them to".

 

Hi all, my trusty (but honestly always pretty terrible) Amazon basics tripod finally died, does anyone have a tripod they'd recommend or brands they'd avoid?

Typical usage for me would be travelling/hiking and landscape photography so ideally small and light without breaking the bank (which I know is pretty tough). Budget is variable but call it £100-£200 for now.

 

It's being rolled out in stages so you, like me, may not have it yet.

 

Title. Friend group and I play regularly but most of us are bad at the role playing part of it to the point where it's hard to tell when the player or the character are speaking in some scenes. Conversations are stiff. We can't use too heavily modified voices because we're playing remotely. My character is about to die (probably!) so help me pick a character or trait of my new character that someone not comfortable roleplaying can stick to without feeling weird about it!

 

What do you have, what do you recommend, and why?

Asking as I've got a lot of spare components lying around that I'm planning on turning into a NAS. If it doesn't work out I'll buy a pre-built enclosure and reuse the drives.

 

Not affiliated I just find this useful and it exposed me to a few of the new features of Ruby 3.2 like not having to specify the value in kwargs if the variable is defined in scope, eg:

foo = 'bar'; call(foo:) is equivalent to foo = 'bar'; call(foo: foo)
