That thumbnail lol

Okay but what if you use emoji in your password?

Everything about the Gingko tree is pretty cool

Politics is not just the relationship between two people, it’s the relationship between a person and everyone/everything else in the world.

Reducto ad absurdum: would you suggest a world where every country is at war with everyone else would foster a better environment for global FOSS collaboration than one where the world was at complete peace?

I honestly thought the statement you quoted was entirely uncontroversial. “Healthy” and “global” being the key words, I’m not saying it’s a requirement for FOSS to exist in general or anything.

It’s a fact of life that politics permeates everything, nothing is in isolation of the political climate it exists within.

The state of the world today is a function of the politics that got us here, a big change in world politics can have dramatic and far reaching effects.

A healthy global FOSS culture requires collaborative politics to be the flavour of the day—which is unfortunately not the case in a lot of countries currently.

Application Binary Interface

Archive.is is definitely not an alternative that people should use in this situation

It’s the express, you’re better off never reading a word they print

Rum or gin work too

A good start is treating drug abuse as a health problem and not a criminal one

Does anyone actually use voicemail anymore

I gotta wonder why QR payment has gotten so popular in East Asia and basically nowhere else

What’s the difference driving this

We don’t like to be hot

It’s not necessarily a good idea to do that though, particularly if you are able to endure the fever

5 minutes is superhuman btw, I need a good half hour before anyone can expect anything remotely reasonable from me

Surprised I had to scroll down this far to see SAC mentioned

Though I love the original film too

Of course it’s forever-toddlers throwing a tantrum about “woke” again.

God forbid the vast majority of normal people don’t agree with whatever pathetic rationalisation they have ended up with in their gullible little minds.

I believe focal length & aperture EXIF metadata do factor into modern lens correction profiles

It’s worth highlighting that the profiles are typically based on the combination of a lens and a body, one lens used on two different camera bodies would result in two different profiles being used

Yeah but if they did that, farmers would have to spend an extra couple of cents of their government subsidies per chicken and then the health insurance industry would make a load less money from exploiting people hospitalised with entirely avoidable illnesses…!

Genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if health insurance lobbying is part of the reason it’s this way

This is super interesting, and a project I’m gonna keep an eye on. Not least of all because I’ve got a good selection of E-mount lenses.

One thing that’s gonna be a struggle is all the specific lens corrections in photo software obviously will not be present for this. I wonder if the body behaves optically similarly enough to an existing Sony camera to be able to reuse those profiles.

8GB was already too low for what is positioned as a premium machine. RAM is a pretty cheap part of the whole computer, so it’s completely unnecessarily small. I’m also a software engineer and the 16GB in my work MBP M1 is not even enough at times.

The big thing that’s caused Apple to stop completely fleecing the people buying the low end option: AI. If you or Apple want to run local models on a machine with only 8GB of RAM, you probably won’t have much left over for anything else.
