Clicked into an article about nuclear weapons and was thinking "wow, the quality of this article is horrible" before I realized it was Simple English Wikipedia. I didn't even know that was a thing.

You can do the same thing with any install script you might come across today.

I would think that the common bash scripts we already have would provide an agent better context for installation than a markdown file, and even better, they already work without an LLM.
This is a "solution" looking for a problem.

Google loves wreaking havoc on web standards. Is there really anything anyone can do about it at this point? The number of us using alternative browsers are a drop in the bucket when compared to Chrome's market share.

This is a hardware reveal trailer. Nintendo likely released this because of all of the recent leaks, which have put their 3rd party accessory vendors in a weird position. More details will be revealed at the Nintendo Direct on the 2nd.

That button conversation is way too real. Front end dev here, and I've probably spent at least 20 hours this year just in meetings about fonts.
I hope you find what you're looking for.

They seem to have stopped training new astronauts in the later seasons. I can't believe Ed is still a character, let alone in command of a mission in deep space. I agree the whole show has gone off the rails since season 2.

on Thursday December 07, 2023 @01:20PM (#38559798)
I don't think I would ever use this project, and I especially would not pay for it.
From scanning the website and documentation, it seems like a less useful debugger than currently available open source tools. I really have no idea what this project is trying to achieve.
and then there's this:
> Yes you need an account to use recompyle.
> The account is used to validate the license. Nothing more.
> The only thing send to our server is a hash of your "machineId"
> The App run on you computer, your code is private and not send to our servers.
> No analytics or error tracking.
You expect me to simply trust your word that this debugger won't do anything nefarious? Not a chance.
