So does every cut on any other body part.
Weirdly enough other people's blood tastes slightly different than my own.

It's from 2021. Link to the website: https://interaktiv.br.de/ki-bewerbung/en/

Still pretty interesting though.

You could always use a distro made by sane people.

I wonder what happens when they find out that you can do my.name+alias@gmail.com

Make sure to put anything you want public under the correct license. If a platform doesn't support CC or GPL or MIT, then leave.

EDIT: Or Apache, or IDGAF, of course. ;) But what I would really want is a license that forces your content to remain free, even if used in something else. Basically copyleft: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.html

She should start by banning her eyes.

I actually use both. Reddit to watch or partake in nonsensical angry at the internet posts and Lemmy for real discussion in a niche that I fancy.
Lemmy feels like Reddit did 10 years ago.

Umm, I'm pretty sure Heinlein meant it as a system that could work. The book is definitely not the parody the movie is.

And disappears and reappears without rhyme or reason like it's possessed.

Just use: https://search.marginalia.nu/ It crawls forums, wikis and other human generated content.
No SEO garbage, scammers or AI. (mostly) It's still very much an alpha.

Good stopped existing after 7. Only bad and slightly less bad.

I have also used Ubuntu when they sent out those free CDs. And for work when they had the Unity desktop (12.04 LTS). It was a good distro once.
I am pretty happy with the Arch (btw) I installed as a VM on Ubuntu 12.04 and then used as my main OS on the new work PC since 2017.

If I continue to break the law with my car they will take it away.

MS should be forced to sell Bing+Edge as a separate entity.

It's just quite a bit slower. Everything else other than messing with /sys and android processes works the same.

HDMI, mouse and keyboard and you have an office pc.

They did that 10 years ago. Right around the time they added the video stuff. Didn't work out. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/steam-stepping-back-from-selling-films

Around 50 are still available if you know how to look for them: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Released_DESC&category1=992

Watch Kung Fury if you want to test it. I loved the cheese: https://store.steampowered.com/app/374570/Kung_Fury/

While I don't miss checking the index of my wall of Microsoft books (the light gray binders with the squishy plastic). At least those were (mostly^1^) correct and ad free.

Then the future began and you got MSDN subscription on CD with sample code. Woohoo.

  1. they included a somewhat 20 pages of erratas that you sooner or later managed to memorize or punch and put in the correct place.

Like Chrome Firefox has an internal Task manager at: about:processes

You could try opening it in a second window. It might show you what causes the hang. There is also: about:memory to see where the RAM went. It's a bit more technical though.

My new android phone is waterproof, rugged, has 5 days of battery life, 2 microsim, 1 microsd (up to 1TB i think, for apps and/or photos depending on partitioning via adb), headphone jack, no stupid notch or hole in the display and a notification light for $100. Sure I only get 4GB of RAM, a 24MP camera without stabilization, 64GB of slow-ish flash and an 8 core mediatek cpu. But if Google or HTC won't give me what I want, I'll buy the Doogee S51 with the fake 2nd wide angle camera that is just a dummy lens.

I was really baffled when I got a November 2023 security OTA update. Didn't expect that. Also it isn't loaded with crapware like a Samsung or Lenovo. Overall I am quite satisfied with price/performance.

Outer Wilds is probably older. There was a prototype in 2012 for the guy's master's thesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2AIOT24MWk

And I remember playing a beta version 3 years before release or so with a few less planets and much more primitive graphics.

Cory Doctorow calls it: Enshittification

It's pretty fitting I think.

Not true. Here is the regex doing the blocking: slur_filter_regex: https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/site

It's not exactly secret.

Yeah now the handles point in different directions.

Also key activations cost the dev zero on Steam. And the dev can generate keys for free to sell elsewhere. details here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys

You can install Arch directly from a UEFI shell over the Internet: https://archlinux.org/releng/netboot/
If your BIOS has a UEFI shell that supports DHCP, HTTP and IPv4 PXE you can load the ipxe-arch.efi over HTTP and start installing.

Get everything: https://www.voidtools.com/ (the alpha version can also index the content of files). It's search is instant. As in < 1 second for any file on any of your harddisks (even ones not connected right now).

For base linux cmdline tools I just install Git for Windows it includes tail, sed, grep, tee, iconv, less, scp and tons more. I need git anyways so win-win.

It has Denuvo, and runs like crap even on $1500 hardware.

I don't know what kind of sales they expected when they don't test it on lower spec PCs.

I wonder what would happen if Chrome asked the user to replace Onedrive with Google Drive on startup.

Might be cheaper to buy the equipment at that point.

But seriously: That is not at all what the insurance pays. Prices are ridiculously inflated to give ridiculous discounts to greedy companies. Patients and Doctors get the short end of the stick.

VM is even better. It prevents Windows updates from fucking up your real OS.

Only if you're incompetent. Otherwise just not optimal.

Starsector, Rise to Ruins and Project Zomboid run well and are made in Java for example. It's harder to pull off but it can be done. (still needs native libraries though)

In the tub. For a relatively short time.

Both lawsuits are going into round 2, afaik.

I just pressed cancel. Who needs network shares.
On XP you could start the On Screen Keyboard, open the help for that and then open the explorer by browsing for a different help file.

MS has a history of security first.

My trench coat is kind of like a cape. It's really impractical on my motorcycle.

Oi, you got a loicence for that choppa?

This I would actually want to see.
I would so laugh when their most of their profits go to EU Antitrust Fines.
Or they pull an Apple and only EU device owners get to choose their own browser.

Can confirm. Use a fridge from 1974. 2 years ago thermostat failed. Replaced with digital one for $15. Now have a nice digital readout of the temps. Thing uses 180W 100W when running, less than bigger newer ones.
It's even more ecological to keep it running since it still has the nasty ozone layer killing coolant that would partly evaporate when trashing it.

EDIT: 100W just checked the type plate.

It's also quite wrong.

Oh, my HTC One M8 had that. Really miss it for the IR Blaster and the air pressure sensor. You always had a really good weather station in your pocket.
