Thank you!

Is that a new feature? I have over a thousand contributions on StreetComplete (casually using it during walks) and somehow I never noticed that button.

Realizing he's just using it to mean remote place in terms of AI bubble (Vancouver! What does that make all the other places that are not major tech hubs?) was a bummer.

Who cares about AI, I wanted to read about living in Galapagos

I see this all the time in code reviews at work. Extremely verbose comments that teach the clueless author how things work but have no place in the final code: aside from codebase not being a coding tutorial, they are also incredibly specific and would become stale and incorrect in matter of weeks.

> So imagine my surprise when I was notified that Google removed the article from its search results

You know you can just read the linked articles, right?

Edit: parent has edited their post, it used to say something like "google has never notified anyone about such things".

This comment is little abrasive but there is truth to it.

I've seen many people who are quite competent under close supervision but completely clueless on their own.

We could debate if academia would be better off with different approach though.

This is one option, trading ease of use and low cost for lower picture quality and less light.

> EU regulators’ extreme interpretation of the DMA

It's not extreme interpretation, it's the intent.

Just say it would break your vendor lock-in.

Huh, this is an incident now?

Our github->slack subscription breaks every few months, they never acknowledged it before. At this point we have a doc with the list of repos and settings, whenever someone notices that things are awfully quiet we just go through it and resubscribe.

I've experienced the following sequence more than once at work, and I remain baffled by it each time:

- Receive a huge vibecoded PR for complicated new feature.

- Complain that this needs some design doc to figure out the right approach first.

- Author says no need for design doc, easier to have vibed implementation and discuss the concrete code instead of abstract document.

- I disagree (obviously), but review the PR with feedback along the lines: this entire approach is flawed, throw this out and start over.

- Author gets defensive, says "but this is already working and ready, let's just merge".

- I tell them there is no chance in hell this is getting merged. They go sulk to their manager that I'm not interested in helping them launch.

And github has 100% uptime while cloudflare has 20%. Yeah, right.

If you enjoy this you might like https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/

They have forums where people post neat cloud photos and if you sign up for membership they will send you an identification chart plus a journal for keeping track of the types you have seen.

Makes for a nice gift for that person you know who always goes "oh look at that cloud!" :)

Thought so too and I think it's a sign I need a break.

> carefully sourced and labelled like Spotify

I wish I had your Spotify.

Over the last few months they have served me multiple slop tracks in the discover weekly playlist. Probably more I didn't notice when just listening without focus, but several had generic artist name without bio and dozens of nearly identical tracks.

Yes that's absolute shit thing to do.

It's also on completely different OSI layer.

I don't see the difference between your comment and a statement like "I don't like email so let's stop using TCP".

Since the tool's quality strongly depends on the abilities of the user, I think I prefer:

Why is it that every gemini/gopher discussion throws out the baby with the bathwater?

> Chrome alone controls roughly 73% of global desktop browser market share.

> More and more, the webdevs of the world test and develop for Chrome only.

> It doesn't need to be this way. https:// is not the only way to connect and interface with the Internet

These are completely unrelated concepts! Google/Chrome doesn't control HTTP nor HTTPS. There is nothing wrong with the protocols, you can just make your website plaintext file if you like.

AI slop

Completely different things.

C2PA is basically a signature that serves to prove it came from certain source.

It's useful in case you want to prove you got an image from AI model to someone who doesn't believe you.

It's trivially removable and not useful against people trying to pass off generated images as real.

It's a checkbox in the "..." menu. Off by default for some reason.

Yes. Instead of having to figure out the bone angles one by one you can drag eg a finger and the rest will follow as much as constraints allow.
