"You're still the interface between the magical technology and the business."

Yep.

We could start fining in percentage of revenue.
Things that far right people say who consider themselfes mildly conservative for 100.
Fascists working towards an ethno-state is far right.
Please ask AI, why what you wrote is stupid.
Re:AI is a tool and using it well takes skill on Tuesday October 13, 2026 @03:52AM (#50068201)
"Its probable that AI will roll out much faster than humans can develop that skill of using it in a way that increases not decreases human knowledge over time." Source? That for sure is a bold claim. How to even measure 'human knowlegde'?
Why not use eww?
I don't know about that. Imagine I want to sort people into employable and unemployable based on AI summaries. After filtering the employable pile is large enough. You being in the unemployeable pile and me accepting it blindly, is not my problem. If there is any at all.
So if google does not pay me for rating, google is the product?
Yes but an AI free version exists to which people apparently switch.
This is actually a good resource for starting out with kakoune. Thanks!

Can you elaborate what the problem is? What is it you want to cache?

I don’t think so. The element styles have an own section (assuming you debug the applied styles)

> It actually increases cognitive load because you have to account for CSS in two different locations.

Same applies to no tailwind. You need to account for the html (is parent block / inline / …) anyway.

For 2 months now the „put in admin credentials“ dialog is so fundamentally broken - ui-wise, it is unbelievable (in the sense that I do not believe it actually made it to production even though I see it with my own eyes). There are so many anecdotes about slop by now, the working parts become the anecdotes.

By now Windows, for me is more like a reality TV show than an OS.

Is there a difference in how you treat machines vs how you treat humans?

This indeed is annoying. Burn it down. This year is the year of moving away from services pushing this nonsense. I am looking at you PayPal.
Codeberg is a decent option.
Re:Microsoft: Copilot is for entertainment purposes only on Tuesday March 31, 2026 @03:07PM (#47592003)
They should tell copilot then! It seems to disagree.

- ‚Are you for entertainment purposes only?‘

-‚Not at all — unless you want me to be. The short version: I’m not “for entertainment only.”‘

Edit: Ok I see it is legal framing to not be held liable, but can they just do that via ToS and let the tool itself promote something else?

„Model AI is starting to change parts of this job, but a lot of what Models do still needs a real person…“ … also: „What This Means For You We don't have this exact job in our database — this is our best guess“ :D Nice try?

What new EU-Office thingy?
I wonder if setting my OS age to let’s say 10 would protect me from ads…

„Managers aim to maximise the amount of code their dev teams produce, and so they maximise the time devs spend writing code.„

Never seen that happen. Do not know anyone who experienced this. Where and who are those managers?

I hope you are joking.
Oh sorry my bad. Now I see what happens. Batman, spiderman, superman, darth vader and donald duck also work (probably even more)! I am impressed.
For me it is not changed to gaquacktus. Sad.
Thanks! I will try it out. Looks awesome. Bruno also supports grpc, though. Also, in what way is Yaak more open source than bruno?

Not too long ago there was a submission of a font-editor[1] and I gave it a shot trying things out, just to realize, that my creations looked off and ugly, not really understanding why. This helps a lot. So much nuance to so many things....

For this you do not need to own the property / house / flat, though.
