What about adding a human in the loop? So the actual releases to the package registry would be done manually after reviewing the package?

About time to bundle them as safe, AAA-rated "complicated investment products" and let pension funds buy them (again).
Apparently they just need an additional AI pass with a prompt to remove the signatures
There is also a small wrapper over an unmodified llamacpp binary which implements jev decision API on any llamacpp-supported model. It is different than Leya/Kime - raw label softmax, not calibrated! But can sometimes be enough I guess. https://github.com/NakliTechie/llamacpp-jev

>> because I love Cloudflare

Sad to read. Do people in China also love CCP and the Great Firewall? I know CF is more than just that MITM proxy as a service but that's their main product.

No wonder LLMs are "better" every year. No juest scraping, they train on more and more data people send to them. So basically, it steals other people's data to sell back to you.
Re:Google no longer provides direct URLs in search results on Sunday September 13, 2026 @10:26AM (#49684378)
Exactly this + websites transforming into SPAs, loading lots of JS chunks, displaying spinners and placeholders, 2FAs, login requests, captchas everywhere. Web browsing is now a very frustrating and time-wasting experience!

Take a look at about:performance page, maybe some background tab is too active?

Try some tab suspend extension like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-tab-disc...

No, they will just encrypt firmware, add more signature verifications and lock devices to accounts in order to complicate reuse, increase sales and produce more ewaste.
You are using MITM proxy as a service. In addition to analyzing all traffic and blocking legitimate users with captchas, they can inject stuff in there, too.

It's not only about blocking access to porn websites but children can access whatsapp groups where child predators are. Why can children access this content in those communication apps? It sounds like providers of these platforms must prevent children accessing those becquse children need to use such platforms to coordinate on their assignments and homeworks. This can be solved by having a "children-type" device account as someone else suggested. The app would know a child is using it and block access. No government id needed.
On Linux I am using https://github.com/wrr/drop which configures bubblewrap based on a simple yaml config specific for the project path and it is enough for me.

I won't use anything requiring a login.

Or you could have just opened an existing Intel pdf brochure which explains it with more intuitive illustrations (the search took me 2 minutes and it consumed a fraction of energy) https://download.intel.com/newsroom/kits/chipmaking/pdfs/San...
Two different things. Qubes is an OS, while this is not.
It's such a bad decision. It just creates more confusion.

Thanks. Your result is what I would expect - nice stuff, but far from what he supposedly "casually" generated.
Will this prevent children from using Whatsapp, Messenger, Telegram and similar because this is where "dangerous" content is being shared. How will children communicate and cooperate on school assignments if those are blocked? Will only plain/text SMS be allowed to be used by children? What if someone texts them and offers money if they meet with a stranger. Maybe it's time to age-block SMS app too. Or maybe children should not use any smartphones. Or maybe they should use a special "android for children" where only a school approved apps can be run. I don't think this age API and age verification is needed!

Same here. I can't stand the new Reddit. It spins up fans on my $3500 laptop, freezes and loads very slow. Once the old one stops working, I will have to stop using it.
Re:LG to ban residential proxies from smart TV apps on Friday July 24, 2026 @06:37AM (#49033583)
There have been a huge progress in this regard! New OLEDs don't burn out like those early generations.
It's easy but very inconvenient. Drop sandbox [1] or Docker are much more convenient alternatives to user/group isolation for this purpose.

Lightning is VERY important. What I like is cove lightning - led strips near ceiling, reflected from the white ceiling. And it is also good to have multiple lightning sources - dimer and slightly warmer to use towards the end of day (sunset) and red (or at least warm) for the night out near floor (like a a fireplace at night). Helps maintain natural circadian rhythms and easier sleep.
LOL, that's funny
Yes, it is very comfusing. "Buy" buttons should be replaced by "License" buttons when you are licensing stuff instead of buyimg it. There should be a law for that.
I have been using mpv on MacOS too. I just had to create an app bundle for it a very simple swift wrapper which just runs mpv command...
Re:Google workspace threatening to block Firefox access on Saturday June 20, 2026 @03:24AM (#48607117)
Happens to me too. They are probably able to infer it is not a Chrome from the TLS handshake or they run their javascript fingerprinting and found out that the browser didn't have some Chrome features or behaved differently.

Sadly, it is much more difficult to pretend being on a different browser than it was in the past. :/

Everything is distillation prevention and children protection, of course!
And the next step will be to lock the bootloader to prevent any unsigned OSes like linux to protect children.
Re:macOS Container Machines on Wednesday June 10, 2026 @06:18AM (#48474112)
A lot of devs needs to use linux but they still use it just as a VM (Mac) or in some kind emulation (WSL). How pathetic.

Just implement caches, add indices to your DBs, use CDNs. Servers are very fast nowadays, have quite a lot of RAM and can handle huge amount of clients. No need to implement this anti-bot bullshit, it is mainly marketing, providing solutions to a problem which doesn't exist for most websites.
