Oath. Fantastic.
This is where myself and a colleague have settled. We design for longevity but it can still type, search, and debug faster than we can.

This is fantastic. Not being able to share my gameplay with friends on Discord is one of my biggest gripes.
It’s a good question, and it’s not well defined. I am hoping that it allows us to customise feeds more. If I have problems with body image, don’t show me topless photos. Same goes with alcohol and gambling, which some platforms do have. The answer must not be either be subjected to content you don’t want to see or don’t use social media at all.

I think the line for algorithms is anything machine learning or neural network based, not simple ordering.

Side note: When iterating on male avatars, ChatGPT incrementally increases muscular features without being prompted to do so. There are biases in these machine-learned algorithms.

This is what I told my chemistry teacher in high school when he marked me down for not including units, too.
I thought the US courts decided that APIs aren’t copyrightable, and the rest of it is not their content.

What’s stopping you from disconnecting it from wifi mow?

I want to be excited but the company’s lost its mojo.

Dupe.
That’s just your opinion on your own characterisation.
Re:Tether: iMessage, SMS, etc. on Linux on Saturday August 29, 2026 @05:31PM (#49493516)
I don’t know the full history but before CarPlay it was used to read and respond to messages using entertainment systems.

Its be nice to see some repercussions for selling backdoored devices. Yes, that includes Amazon corporate for listing it.

Ironic.
Someone has to pay for it, one way or another.
Printing hundreds of billions of dollars is also inflationary. Governments change but the impact of all this takes a very long time to flow through the economy.
Most spending is legislated and can’t be cut without congressional approval.
You can’t be serious.
It’s all well and good until the person who has that discretion comes after you personally.

They registered it like any other, I imagine.
So Apple will remove them from the App Store. Thats their whole argument for their closed system - they’ll protect users from malicious apps. Right?

This. It’s to protect themselves against any potential future investigations.
Not really. A block is just a group discount.
Re:Incident with Github.com on Monday August 17, 2026 @10:55AM (#49332098)
Do you have some information that it’s Azure related that isn’t public?
Peer review of changes is still important.

You also aren’t given a choice. If you decline, “don’t drive it”. Well, I want the car, not the connection. I could probably pull the sim I suppose.
Re:RSI Simulator on Tuesday August 11, 2026 @06:58PM (#49265642)
I was wondering how they’d simulate carpel tunnel. That acronym is indeed taken.
How have I not heard about this. I am both impressed and horrified.
There’s bad, and then there’s egregious.
This level of handwaving makes me suspicious of your motives. Security professionals have been advising against TP-Link devices for years for reasons such as in the OP.
