    if they really cared about intellectual property rights, this would be OPT-IN.

    Was that supposed to speak to some part of my comment...?

    It seems like a complete non sequitur to me.

    I am WAY too unqualified to understand any of the technical stuff, so I'll be waiting to hear thoughts from experts on this one. It looks like if there are no major flaws in it this is a great thing for the platform overall.

    I am a bit out of the loop in terms of RDBMS history, what do you mean by MySQL refugees?

  • Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead
  • subignition subignition Now 100%

    It's not like dedicated people aren't going to be able to just patch out the calls to this API from the apps themselves...

    This feels like yet another attempt at DRM that is doing more harm than help.

  • Firefox user here. I was a bit surprised when I tried to get to the URL bar / search with Ctrl+L / Ctrl+K that those browser hotkeys were captured by PIeFed. I think it's nice to have keyboard shortcuts for those who prefer them, but it should probably be something that can be toggled off, or perhaps even opt-in by default. Thanks for your time.

    Damn, you're living in the future. I'm still stuck using three shells.

    Well today I learned, thanks for the correction.

  • Chat GPT appears to hallucinate or outright lie about everything

    They're pretty reasonable for consensus-based programming prompts as well like "Compare and contrast popular libraries for {use case} in {language}" or "I want to achieve {goal/feature} in {summary of project technologies}, what are some ways I could structure this?"

    Of course you still shouldn't treat any of the output as factual without verifying it. But at least in the former case, I've found it more useful than traditional search engines to generate leads to look into, even if I discard some or all of the specific information it asserts

    Edit: Which is largely due to traditional search engines getting worse and worse in recent years, sadly

    The "P" is for predictive, not pre-trained. Generative Predictive Text

    Edit: Nope I was wrong.

    This is the best article I've seen yet on the topic. It does mention the "how" in brief, but this analogy really explains the "why" Gonna bookmark this in case I ever need to try to save another friend or family member from drinking the Flavor-Aid

    As long as it has good writing... and maybe they turn down the crudity a touch... I think it has the potential to be well-received.

    There are some very big claims in that post. If half that stuff turns out to be true it might be the end for Telegram.

  • Matrix let-down
  • subignition subignition Now 100%

    What are some of the popular Matrix clients that you've seen have this problem? And are they open source?

    I've been curious about Matrix for a while as a potential Discord replacement, but haven't actually tried it. Might be interesting to check it out and see whether I can contribute to one of the clients somehow.

    So sorry you're going through it. Hoping you can find the strength to polish up your resume and spend some time on your days off looking for a better place to work. The best time to be looking for a job is when you already have one.

    Darkness in science often means mystery. But mysteries can be answers in and of themselves—at least, until you dig even deeper.

    Dark, darker, yet darker...

    I haven't played Callisto Protocol, but it seems like it's explicitly a spiritual successor, yeah

    I think it's a bit of a stroke of genius on the article author's part, because it's a great double entendre the way it's written.

    If exploration, discovery, and puzzling out mysteries aren't engaging for you, it might just not be your type of game.

    Well, sure, but with this device there's maybe the potential for indie developers to do something unique with that hardware I suppose?

    Not really sure what the barriers to entry are for an indie dev to develop for the Switch. Maybe it's not as difficult as I imagine it is. /shrug
