I can't really understand the tradition of never trusting the government in the US. The government is designed in a way that enables, even requires public oversight, public opinion. If that is not the case, you are not living in a democracy. Many Americans trust private initiatives, charity more than taxes and a working public system. People have no say in what corporations do. If people don't trust the government the attitude should be towards fixing it and enabling trust, not to accept it as is. I am not judging, maybe a little bit but not really. I live in a middle eastern country. We really don't trust the government but we keep working on steering it in the right direction. We are many times smaller than the US but we have minimum income, universal healthcare, unions are the norm, etc.

It actually looks great. I'm surprised to see that to be honest. But I use next cloud only as an alternative to Google drive. I find most of the times I can't make apps work and risk breaking my next cloud installation. But if it works for you, awesome 👍

Not sure about iron man but I can't stand Robert Downey Jr.

‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services ( www.theguardian.com )

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...

kureta ,

Stop trying to make fetch happen!

In Turkey, go-to stereotypical French name is Jean Pierre. I don't know what you would do with this information though.

Before Gaben, there was only vapour. He invented, nay, created steam.

But, and there is a big BUT here, you can't copy someone elses brand. You can't put someone elses name on it and sell a product without asking for permission first.

Yes. That is also how I see it. Plagiarism is immoral, copying/replicating/altering is just natural. Has been the norm for millenia. That's how art, science, and engineering, frankly, the entirity of human culture developed.

kureta ,

that is only a subset of machine learning

kureta ,

open standards and interoperability should be the law.

kureta ,

They might be a sith.

kureta ,

is this real? I can't tell anymore.

kureta ,

N900 and Maemo were already awesome. There was absolutely no need to rewrite the entire operating system. Damn I am still angry.

kureta ,

I really couldn't find a better way to describe how it feels to use gnome. I am used almost all tiling window managers through the years. I always got lost in configuring my setup. I know I didn't have to, but there was almost another step of optimization that was available to me. This is not a bad thing in and of itself, of course. I have been using gnome o arch for the past few years, a plank/dock extension, a system tray, and a clipboard manager. That's it, there is nothing to fiddle with, to distract me. It is entirely personal. I just can't stop myself from trying to optimize my desktop/workflow if there are still ways to optimize it. Before gnome I was using my WM/DE and then the applications necessary for my actual work. Now, the DE is "out of the way" and I just do what I actually have to do. But again, this is entirely personal.

kureta ,

touch file && chmod +x file is good but this here is the one true command for the purpose.

kureta ,

As many people have already said, just do what you need to do. That's the best way to learn. But if you are afraid you'll break your system with dangerous commands, use docker or a virtual machine for practice.

kureta ,

unironically agree. if it is useful for the community someone will fork it. you are not forever a slave to your open source contribution.

kureta ,

not Linux but some open-source software with premium features that have menu items with diamond icons or something like that pointing to those features. you cannot hide the menu items and it keeps sending you notifications to subscribe to an annual license.

Apenix

And this sounds like nix for apes 🐵

kureta ,

it's not even a little bit more complicated than that. They are literally trained to predict the next token given a series of previous tokens. The way that they do that is very complicated and the amount of data they are trained on is huge. That's why they have to give correct information sometimes to sound plausible. Providing accurate information is literally a side effect of the actual thing they are trained to do.

kureta ,

Yep. I want a reasonable amount of money for a reasonable amount of work. I have a life outside work, which seems incomprehensible to employers nowadays.

kureta ,

exact point is probably empty. so much of matter is just empty space.

kureta ,

Perfect summary 10/10

kureta ,

investigative journalism at its best.

The musical or the movie?

What's a band that has one album that is just about perfect in your opinion, but rest of their discography misses the mark with you?

One of mine is Commit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack. I basically took the title verbatim and know the album word for word. And while I would love if it did, the rest of MCS’s stuff just doesn’t hit the same way....

But why? It is bad for babies OK, but what is the upside for Nestlé? Is it addiction?

Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets ( arstechnica.com )

But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don’t do this not because they can’t but because they don’t want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

kureta ,

And standards. EU please enforce standards and interoperability, and open APIs.

kureta ,

Also the story of almost all Hollywood romcoms.

kureta ,

And that’s why you also surround it with double quotes.

kureta ,

x = “make the functionality of the Software or a Modified version available to third parties as a service”

y = “distribute the Software or a Modified version”

You may not X, or (Y in a manner that X)

Perfectly normal legalese. Just like “included but not limited to…” it sets a condition and adds a more specific version of that condition, which seems redundant but helps during actual litigation.

And not being always reachable by phone. If you are out, there was simply no way to reach you. Good times.

There are lots of ways computers are used for making art. Not just video-games. For example, projection mapping, algorithmic music composition, live coding, etc.

You can look into openFrameworks for examples of C++ in arts.

kureta ,

This was the first serious creative coding framework I’ve learned 2008 or 2010 or something. I have been in this field since then. I have seen Java, Javascript, and kotlin creative frameworks but not python and I am still as surprised as you are.

kureta ,

some people wouldn’t even know what an audio cassette is.

Final. season was really interesting I that regard. Real cop propaganda is The Rookie. It is shameless.

kureta ,

Hallelujah!

kureta ,

I’ve always had problems with ssh on kitty.

kureta ,

I know. I still had problems even when I used that. I don’t see why are there problems at all? Why doesn’t alacritty have the same problem?

kureta ,

I am running arch on a 2011 MacBook pro. so, probably. Even if you don’t plan on using arch, the wiki has all the info to get you started.

kureta ,

I know about Aç and volume controls. I hope the rest are not (yet) on touch screens.

kureta ,

Holy shit! Is this real?

kureta ,

I don’t know anything about American football, or baseball and I guess DB doesn’t mean database.

kureta ,

I don’t think they were talking about this specific instance. They were talking about actually famous and successful singers and athletes. Also the only reason there is a news piece mocking this kid is the fact that ordinarily Americans care a lot about what famous athletes and pop stars say. It’s not like that they would make a similar piece mocking a baker or handyman or something. This news article exists because it’s relevant to how important professional athletes’ words are.

Unfortunately I need CUDA. I hope either ZLUDA and/or actual CUDA works on NVK in the near future. Better yet AMD could release something that can compete with CUDA but that seems highly improbable.

kureta ,

Except Berliner cyclists. They scare me.
