Re:How Europe is killing makers and micro-entrepreneurs on Monday August 24, 2026 @04:41PM (#49425567)
Sure! I understand that everyone buying stuff on Temu and Shein is horrific. At the same time, me paying $$$ for ordering electrical components from China is rough for me. And also, I find it mind-blowing and ridiculous that Ali offered free shipping for small orders for so long whereas if I'd buy local I need to pay up for shipping, and if I'd start a small business in the Netherlands, shipping to the rest of the EU for small parcels is prohibitively expensive, not even taking into account PPWR

I hate obviously AI written posts so much. Not spending my time with reading

I hate these signs of LLM generated texts so much!!

Thanks, I'll link to your project
I created https://tildeweb.nl just for this

Probably all managers and engineers working on Teams have similar copious amounts of memory and powerful CPUs on their devices and hardly use their own product. That would explain a lot

I just packaged the extension for the fun of it! And I do want people to try for themselves, that is the point. About people that are not dumb; surely many people are not dumb; many people are very smart indeed. But that does not prove there are no dumb or gullible people!

Re:200 MB RAM FreeBSD Desktop on Wednesday January 21, 2026 @04:10AM (#46703021)
I am wondering if, with memory and storage prices skyrocketing, there will be more effort on making computing use less resources?
Re:I protect my forgejo instance from AI Web Crawlers on Monday December 22, 2025 @05:16AM (#46352851)
Sure, but the whole point of self-hosting forgejo is to not use these big cloud solutions. Introducing cloudflare is a step back!
The table lists very limited support for M1 and not even lists newer variants! I guess it was only to be expected, asahi Linux also has challenges and of course FreeBSD has less eyeballs than Linux
Me three! mjd fanboy here
Re:Google is killing the open web, part 2 on Monday November 17, 2025 @12:28PM (#45955795)
All browsers ever implemented was XSLT 1.0, from 1999. There were 2.0 and 3.0 for which there is an open source Java based implementation (Saxon) but this never made it into libxslt and/or browsers!
Re:Smartphones and Being Present on Thursday October 16, 2025 @01:15PM (#45608011)
I think this is not too weird? I write text messages all day on my phone. Every holiday I keep a dairy of my travel in a Google doc. While I prefer a proper keyboard I also appreciate the way I can just type some stuff on my phone while in a bus or waiting for a train, or at night in my hotel room. This adds up to significant documents. And then indeed I prefer the writing over mindlessly ‘consuming content’.

The project got a grant from NLnet. I think they do a great job, they gave grants to many nice projects (and also some projects that are going nowhere, but I guess that is all in the game). NLnet really deserves praise for what they are doing!! https://nlnet.nl/thema/NGI0CommonsFund.html
Re:The Top Programming Languages 2025 on Wednesday September 24, 2025 @01:52AM (#45356765)
Plus TIOBE had Perl enter the top 10 suddenly this year but I do not see any new developers. And Ada too! Where are all those Ada programmers?
