I used to feel this way and still do to some extent. But he has lost me on the Israel conflict. Certainly on religion itself and philosophy I agree with him a lot. Much like how, conversely, with Mehdi Hassan, I agree a ~~but~~ bit politically, but not on religion.

The only people I can never recall taking issue with are Hitch and Fry, and even they probably have views I don’t like.

I’m really hoping they do the Laconia story now that the requisite years have passed. Or at least enough that the actors will look correct.

Fair, but I was making a general comment with tongue firmly in cheek. I didn’t mean to denigrate anybody. Certainly not any individual. It was broad commentary on the general, though certainly not ubiquitous, view on LLM’s in the larger communities on Lemmy.

Seems pragmatic and well-written. But it doesn’t say “LLM’s are hot garbage in all circumstances and people who use them are all smelly turds,” so I’m guessing there will be backlash in this community.

My guess is most are very young. Goes to show our civil liberties worldwide, especially since 9/11, have eroded tremendously. Young people have grown up in a world where privacy is a joke and government spying is a foregone conclusion.

They added a username feature a long time ago that makes finding each other very reliable.

Maybe, but that number seems arbitrary. Keys are a bit easier to misplace, but phones are more likely to break in a drop. Both need replaced infrequently. When a key is lost, often locks must be rekeyed, meaning new keys for everybody; maybe that’s 5:1. One allows specific keys for specific users. There are of course pros and cons to each. I’m just saying listing all these steps seems to belabor the point.

For a first time open on a new phone sure. But then your comparing it to make requisition for new key blanks, await delivery from manufacturer (could even include mining and smelting), send blanks for cut, cut key, await delivery, document who received which serial number, deliver key to you, put key in key hole, twist key… I mean, I get they’re making a point, but I think it is a bit over inclusive. Login to lock app, unlock door.

For me Twilight Princess is the GOAT of single player games, so I agree. And I started gaming at the beginning, so it isn’t just nostalgia for me.

I’m not saying that wrt phones only. But credit cards get skimmed and various other atm pranks. Loads of infrastructure takedowns. Zero days released into the wild with viruses attached. All sorts of shenanigans.

 

This is superb. Really well done satire.

I hope this isn’t considered political. I figure it is good for this audience.

Following in the footsteps of Hashicorp, Hudson, etc. Zed has chosen to cash in the good will of its now substantial user base and start going to full corporate enshittification. Among other things like minimum age nonsense, they have also added binding mandatory opt-OUT arbitration.

I find such agreements very troubling, because it gives up public funded dispute resolution for private which nearly unanimously benefits larger entities, it lowers transparency to near zero, and eliminates the abilities to act as a class and to appeal. But I worry most will just accept it, as is the norm.

You can however opt out by emailing arbitration-opt-out@zed.dev with full legal name, the email address associated with your account, and a statement that you want to opt out.

I'll just consider my days of advocating for Zed as an interesting new editor over and go back to Neovim bliss.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, because it celebrates the harvest and can be treated as a day for gratitude. My family also calls it T. Hanks Giving and celebrates by eating pie and watching Tom Hanks movies.

I’m thankful for many things, this year my puppy. He has been great for my family and my mental health personally. For what are you thankful?

Interesting new logic analysis channel on the scene and it seems very well done.

 

I find the hard puzzles take a long time too.

Said of Mozilla’s recent change to terms and privacy.

 

I like smooth scroll. I love Neovim. So I use Neovide. But I really wanted a nice way to manage instances per git repository / project, including server / remote socket management and allowing files to be opened into the correct instance. It detects running instances and opens into or switches to them accordingly.

This is also integrated into Finder and open via a swift wrapper. So one can, for example, use raycast to quick switch projects.

Check it out if that sounds interesting. There is also a longer video guide on the Usage wiki.

 

This has gotten some attention, especially about a week ago, but I really hope more people will continue to try it and, if interested, support it. It is Firefox, but heavily modified to please a different audience that prefers a slightly different UI than Firefox. It has some of the appeal of Arc, Vivaldi, and the Sidebery extension.

In my view, it is very promising, and all competition in this space is good. Here it is on Github, also.
