They keep on messing about with the UI and adding AI stuff, meanwhile performance and resource usage aren't improving, and basic features don't work properly.

Why is it that reorganizing the title bar every few months or making new button themes is more important than getting the IDE to properly detect the .venv folder?

Michelin makes tires, they originally made the star system to get people to drive to these places, thereby using up their tires.

I always thought it was a reference to human body temperature.

You need a radiator with a built-in electric fan, this will all but eliminate the condensation.

However it will not cool like an A/C unit, only something like 5°C reduction. This can be enough to get a decent night's sleep during a summer heatwave.

Yes, of course it would be better if the cars were designed in the EU as well.

My main point was that them being built in the EU wasn't something auto makers did out of the goodness of their hearts, or for some marketing ploy: it was forced on them by EU law.

I suppose that design requirements could be imposed as well.

It's not to brag, it's to qualify for state aid.

In France, if a car is not built in the EU, it won't qualify for the 6k€ reduction.

Anything over 2.5 metric tons should require a commercial driver license to operate.

There, problem solved.

When said application charges an exorbitant monthly fee, and is owned by a multibillion company, yeah it *is* pretty ridiculous.

I use it for a bit of everything: dev work (InteliJ), basic 3D modeling/printing (freeCAD, Blender, Orca), light video editing (OBS, Kdenlive), gaming (wine) ...

Could probably go with an Arch based distro, but the Ubuntu/Debian base is useful for the good compatibility.

Ubuntu LTS distros can need some time, yeah. A few months is not unheard of.

AMD typically starts adding basic kernel support before the hardware comes out, but full feature support is usually shipped shortly after hardware release. I suppose it's to avoid leaking specs before release?

But anyway if you want good support for new hardware, much better to run some sort of rolling release, like most Arch based distros.

Personally I run an Ubuntu LTS but with the latest mesa drivers via ppa, and am always at least a generation behind on the card. Much cheaper that way. Or at least it used to be...

There is quite a bit of evidence for edits made to OSM appearing on Google Maps shortly after.

I've personally noticed this for edits I've made to obscure, completely out of the way areas.

Just don't upload to Google. They'll take the data from OSM anyway, after some time.

They don't seem to have any problems cramming in ever more AI garbage down our throats.

Priorities!

> if GitHub is down

Surely you mean when GitHub is down.

As an aside, I thought it a bit worrisome that the move to Sha256 is apparently delayed due to GitHub dragging their feet on this.

Prompts can certainly be tuned to a particular model, where updating the model actually results in worse performance. This is perhaps less true today than a year or two ago, but we have seen this on newer models as well. Typically, the less specific the instructions are, the less it's a problem. But sometimes you really need to get into specifics to get good results. Area of work is code porting and translation.

When discussing fertility rates "sustainable" usually means "ratio of births to deaths in order to have a stable population". In developed economies that's around 2.1 children per woman. Anything under that and the population declines without immigration.

> There isn't a single product I can think of where I'll buy the same thing from multiple brands.

Weird, I'm the complete opposite. There's no product I can think of where I didn't buy different brands, if anything just to compare.

Nomads typically live in areas very poor in resources (like Touaregs in deserts) or with high seasonal variation (like Sioux in plains).

There is nothing inherently destructive with the lifestyle, and in fact many other animals are nomadic or have seasonal migrations.

Programmers work on trains too, you know. Some of the busiest metro lines in the world are fully automated, pretty sure that code is held to a higher standard than some shitty YouTube feature.

The problem with MacBook is that they have a shit OS...

Can't help but notice all the Aramco ads during the world cup.

"Who could have foreseen this would happen?"

France has higher prices than several EU countries.

Spain in particular has low prices thanks to their solar and wind, and the Nordics thanks to hydro.

This will be great for their customer service, now they'll have a new excuse for losing your package.

EU member *countries" certainly do, but that's true of all countries that have the ability.

If anything the EU puts limits on what EU member countries and companies can do. By hosting in one of the EU countries you have stronger legal guarantees on data privacy than in any other area. A possible exception is Switzerland (not a EU member), which historically has had even stronger privacy laws, though these have been weakened recently IIRC.

Lots of games run just fine on Wine. Those that don't, usually work on Steam/Proton.

And yet still has more personality than the latest Ferrari.

The restrictions are a good fit for children under 16.

As a parent you want to be able to reach them, and they want to reach their friend.

And as a parent you not want them waste their minds on YouTube garbage.

It shows that you don't need to know how to code to succeed in this type of project.

As someone who does know how to code, I find the approach to be great, as it can motivate others to try similar projects.

That any of this needed I would consider a form of social failure, a path to a future where only corporate entities can own anything.

Much respect for the hacking. Clawing back some freedom in a world determined to take it away.

The developer is "Ascensio System SIA", and they are located in Riga, Latvia.

Why the mention of Russian developers?
