registry switch that’ll mysteriously reset itself. we’ve had this shit with countless windows configurations at work that our IT guy has to battle with on the regular.

270GB feels insane for the source code of a single organisation. Is there media assets or backups in there too?

EDIT: yep, multiple subsidiaries and slack Comms which could inflate it by a lot. we post a whole lot of uncompressed shit on our slack

that’s true but the Jerusalem post isn’t a primary source in this case, the direct source would be a Knesset press statement.

I’d say least prefer a rule on serving these sites behind a cache link so the ads and clicks aren’t registered!

Once again asking that we don’t directly link to the fucking Jerusalem Post, which is barely more reputable and progressive than if the daily mail began demanding its editors to browse stormfront forums for 8 hours a day

With what money? SpaceX is the only company with any kind of steady revenue to its name and that’s only because the US government subsidised it

the last functional windows.

we do a bit of entrapment

I don’t (never played Xbox til the end of its lifecycle) what did they do? 👀

The trick to writing a JavaScript web app is that first you consider literally any other technology to solve your problem and only then consider using javascript.

The opinion of what is and isnt “subjective” is up for a lot of debate even if you dont personally have a major stake in a videogame’s marketing campaign (such as the authors and enforcers of these contracts).

If i was stack overflow I would’ve transferred my backups to OpenAI weeks before the announcement for this very reason.

This is also assuming the LLMs weren’t already fed with scraped SO data years ago.

It’s a small act of rebellion but SO already has your data and they’ll do whatever they want with it, including mine.

I moved from a 1080p monitor to a 1440p one for my main display and it’s actually really worthwhile. Not only is your daily computing sharper, but multitasking becomes easier because smaller windows are still legible.

IMO it’s a lot easier on the eyes when things are sharper, too.

1080p is still more than enough, but I think 1440p is worth it for a screen you’re using for hours every day :)

If I’m looking up something general, like some actor or tv show, then DDG is perfect. If im troubleshooting some weird software issue then i find it doesnt always list as many results, as if it hasnt indexed as many sites.

DDG at least now means I can search random shit without it suddenly being inserted into my social media algorithms like some kind of psychological torture.

Google used to list sites with backlinks highly, it was their first ever search algorithm iirc. Once people learned you could game that by planting useless backlinks, Google realised it was a bad idea.

Somehow, they’ve reinvented this all over again with parasite SEO that fundamentally works the same way. All they did was add some “domain ranking”. Now, unreliable-but-popular sites coughredditcough will always score highly regardless of quality, because Google deemed them superior.

Yup agreed.

China, like the US, hasn’t got the means nor the motive to track billions of people abroad; they both have a hard enough time keeping tabs on people domestically despite years of expanding their respective police states.

Of course there’s always the propaganda and soft power stuff but again, every single state is doing this, but the insinuation is that Europe or the anglosphere in general are the only propaganda-free places on Earth!

Willing to bet money this was posted on hardware that actually does have backdoors to some 3 letter agency in the US, to much more personal consequence than any metaphorical Chinese government spyware

With reddit getting worse, these kinds of vapid “i only post snark about [insert US designated enemy]” users are gonna be all the more common.

When you leave reddit, a corporatised and astroturfed bot farm you’re gonna get less liberal and right wing stuff that only existed to make money or exert political influence.

If you’re really upset by it you can filter lemmy.ml which is gonna be the main source of left wing posting.

“reels” - was disappointed by ___

“slams” - mildly criticises ___

Come back when the AfD fascists are in handcuffs.

If the “IDF” has succeeded in anything, it’s proving how useless the term “terrorist” is. Every toy of the western PR machine has been thrown out the pram.
