It has to if you want federated servers. You spin up a server, it needs to know everything it subscribes to.

There is no solution, because it is not a problem. That’s just the nature of a federated system.

If I walk in the park, I risk people taking pictures of me. That’s the thing about parks, they’re public open spaces. The only solution is to stay home.

Does that not make them a hard link (pointing to a filesystem node) instead of a symlink (pointing to another filename)?

I mentally double check

So you’re saying you… mentally challenged yourself?

As “we” write more software slop

It’s that the one better or worse than the Explorer One S?

I still don’t understand the “whiskers”. What dataset are they using to train? I’ve literally not seen them until the prevalence of genAI.

Gemini is complete garbage in Android Auto

It also can’t read labels on gmaps. Can’t read people’s “nickname” field in contacts (there are so many Roberts). And can’t access or write notes without also requiring access to my emails (hell no).

Those are the three things I use AA for, and it’s objectively worse at every single one of them.

I think you’re projecting a little. People act like this no matter the field. We swim in the tech pool, so we mostly only see the shit floating in our pool.

I can assure you the neighbour’s pool also has their fair share of floaters.

Any type of bread following the same standard will fit into a standard toaster.

is how it should be done

No it isn’t.

The whole point of partitions is so you can have multiple things on the same drive. Be them data, swap, or… yes, operating systems.

RAM prices exploding only means Apple takes a tiny hit to their profit margin per device, considering how inflated they were in the first place.

Not just folders, every icon has 4-way configurable swipe. I’ve gone a little swipe crazy now. Who needs folders when you can launch 5 different things by swiping a single icon…

No, what they’re describing is a False Friend. A very specific type of homophone/graph/nym. They work across languages. And in many cases (though not a hard rule) have close enough meaning/usage that would confuse non-native speakers trying to comprehend things via context.

E.g. A German telling his English friend, “I’ll meet you at the gymnasium”. The sentence is correct, and makes perfect sense to both. But they’ll end up at two different places.

It’s called a cloaca, you uneducated swine!

(Sorry, couldn’t pass on a good streak of online insult throwing)

You mean being able to find whatever I need without clicking through 5 links?

I knew who it would be before opening the video. His whole thing is about making strange - and very often, unsafe - musical instruments. One of his early videos was replacing piano hammers with actual hammers.

His spinning guitar is actually super cool though!

They’ve fixed Truecrypt vulnerabilities uncovered by previous audits, and have themselves been audited at least twice

Edit: some highlights on the latest audits and their response.

Glad that I’m so poor this will never be an issue in our household.

soon

Could you please be more specific? It’s been 13 years. Maybe in another year?

You know how people used to put pictures of their loved ones in a locket, or in their wallets, or as a background pic on their phones? That’s what they were supposed to be. (As told by a catholic friend)

I can accept that. I have one of my kids in the car cause I used to drive like a maniac. It’s a constant reminder of the kind of person I should be while driving.

But of course, people will be people, ignoring what they’re told and doing whatever the hell they like… “This statue cried blood, let’s pray to it!” (and ignore the leaking toilet upstairs)
