Wow. You really DID welcome your corporate overlords, didn't you?

God, how I hate all those "well ackchyually" idiots who think TOS are the only contract there ever was ignoring social norms that were there for literally decades.

Thanks, that's awesome! I will give it a try because I love idea of federated networks a lot. Just couldn't find my way in the jungle.

It's exactly that. I have an account on Mastodon that I haven't opened in months. I use Bluesky a couple of times a day. On Mastodon I couldn't find interesting accounts to follow for weeks. On Bluesky I was up and running after an hour thanks to starter packs. Ease of use trumps (what a word!) philosophy for me. And probably most other people too.

BTW I already lost 10 years of posting on Twitter. Did not care for a second. Do people REALLY care about their postings on micro blog sites? It's not like a box of photographs that I would pass to my children on my deathbed...

EU just signed huge deal with India.

Words vs reality.

Because all cops are honest, all warrants are lawful and nothing worrying happens in the land of freedom right now.
Some are very entitled to drawing lines on someone else's property. Why don't you mind your own business?

Thank you for this excellent explanation!
How else are they going to sell it to all those micromanagers who micromanage things?
It's cute that you think anyone is going to kiss your American ass.
Re:Microsoft 365 Copilot is a commercial failure on Saturday October 04, 2025 @10:14PM (#45478361)
I am just a typical Office user in a small company environment. Copilot buttons started popping in various Office applications. When I asked Copilot in Outlook to summarise mails from one of my contacts it happily searched the Internet and said it found nothing. AAA experience.

Not OP but I set Atkinson Hyperlegible on my e-ink reader and it served me well. I feel my reading speed has improved. It is pretty wide though so to put more text on the page I decreased font height a bit.

This is a spot-on observation. All LLMs have that "fake it till you make it" attitude together with "failure is not an option" - exactly like junior devs on their first job.
Typical Murica.

Loud, stupid and self-obsessed

I switched to Qwant 2 months ago after using DuckDuckGo for 4 years and Google before that. I live in Poland - and Qwant gives me the best search results of them all. Much more relevant than DuckDuckGo and much less sponsored content than Google. I'm really happy about how it works for me.

FI²N sounds like a nice first name (Fuck If I Know)
Re:When Your Last Name Is Null, Nothing Works on Saturday February 22, 2025 @11:05PM (#43146405)
But how are all those people supposed to know that beforehand? Call yourself whatever you want but don't expect anyone to deal with your name-fuckery. It's called first name for a reason.

Re:Burn After Wearing on Sunday April 28, 2024 @05:25AM (#40187231)
Exactly. Such a policy doesn't do anything to curb the amount of waste. It just shifts it to poorer regions and lines Mafia pockets with money
I'm not sure but I understand that this ruling applies only to harmonised standards mentioned in the original rulin. So harmonised standards related to safety of toys directive. Not all harmonised standards.
Re:You can't make an open source HDMI 2.1 driver on Friday March 01, 2024 @09:40AM (#39562204)
But this feature works by transmitting HDMI signals so you still need to implement the software part in question.

Especially when your monitor falls down from your desk instead of simply disconnecting at the plug.
Negative selection
It's nice to recover an image but encryption keys are not that. One bit flip and it's game over. This experiment is more useful for human-readable document forensics than anything else.
Ultimately it boils down to Yo dawg theorem nesting prompts into prompts for fun and profit
