I wish there was some sort of "use strict-typed" or something that let you use in-browser interpreted typescript

"Torvalds, via e-mail, says De Raadt is “difficult” and declined to comment further."

Imagine being so hard you're labelled as "difficult" by no other but Linus Torvalds

"Odyssey holds a balance that's unique in the GNU/Linux landscape. It carries the essence of Void's purist Unix philosophy — its stable rolling-release model — and refines it into a ready-to-use experience, a verifiable chain of trust, and a coherent aesthetic. The first polished no-systemd distribution: optimized, customized, simple yet powerful, privacy- and security-oriented."

Moved on to vis a few years ago and never looked back to vim/neovim. Granted, it doesn't have all the sparkles of the former, but it's way leaner and snappier - and you can tell there's no ai in it.

Got second hand anxiety the other day seeing someone logging into their fb account (I guess with a chrome private window?) and they had to solve like 3 round of reCAPTCHAs to finally be able to... get into a fb login page over again, do another 3 or so reCAPTCHAs and finally get into their fb. I don't think they were doing them wrong

At least here in colloquial "rolo" spanish people use to call "chato" (which would sound the same as "chatto") someone with a pug, snub nose

As far as I know neither Tiktok or YT have contributed to a genocide[0] or sold their user's data for political propaganda purposes[1], so at least there's that

Took the bait and sent them my email to apply because, in the page linked, they would "send you the instructions" to it.

But no, no exact definition of what they mean for "1000 words" - wether if it's minimum 1000 words or what, or how are they counting those 1000 words - throwing everything to a Word doc? a parsing script? Will they count things like an "I" or an "a" as a whole word?

I'm thinking about giving this a try, though, but not being pretty clear about that rule seems quite odd.

I think that nowadays people value "technological features", and how better to show "technological advancement" like a giant ass touchscreen and not some "old" XX century knobs.

Did it come out a Rust fork with no AI contributions, like in the same fashion it came up a Zig fork that accepted AI contributions (the one Bun was using before rusting)?

The power button of my pc also has the job to tell wether the PC is turned on. So do bulb switch buttons that have a pilot light, and so on

Yup, the association with LLMs is a bit odd, since there's emojis everywhere in mainstream digital comunication way before the big hit of the ai stuff.

Without seeing how it looked before I think this just gives a little bit more of clue about what each category is about. They are still being used sparsely.

The only thing where it irks me to find emojis is in cli apps. They use to not be the same character width as the monofont I use so they either look chopped or they displace their nearing text.

As a bit of a shameless plug, I did some in the past[0] and am working sporadically on a "fork" of those[1] but it's a whole full-time work. There are hundreds of icons to do for apps alone. Each one needs to be done in 16x16, 22x22, 32x32, 64x64, 128x128 and 256x256 so if say you have 150 icons to do for apps, you actually will need to do 900 icons. And add to that that you'll need to cover categories, places, filetypes, actions...

Granted, you can do a 256x256 and scale it down to 128x128, for example, but if you care for quality some details will be lost anyway. So that's why nowadays you'll see most icon themes are just a bunch of logos plastered over a shaped background.

And what irked me the most was that a few weeks after that I released that first set via deviantart and opendesktop.org there were websites that included them in their sets and made them available for download in their websites, not even a redirect to my deviantart or opendesktop pages or something. And found out after that that some people were using them in commercial projects and stuff so I had to chase them asking to not use them since they were cc-by-nc'ed.

Never got a single cent of any of that. I love making icons, at some point I was even working for the icons that would eventually become the Breeze set for KDE5 with their VDG, but it happens that I also need money to buy the beans.

Some +20 years ago one day at a local radio show there was the daily topic about how people went into smoking. One guy called and told that he had to go everyday early to his classes at uni and before going in there was a kind of convenience store where people piled up and asked for a hot coffee and a cigarette.

But the thing is that, according to him, it was a lot. Lots of people went in and asked for the same thing, a cup of coffee and a cigarette.

Allegedly he went into smoking because he got so used to hear people saying "one cup of coffee and a cigarette, please" for so long that one day he, unconsciously, asked for the same.

I guess for the JS case it makes sense to be able to shave a few characters for file shrinking purposes, but generally I'm more biased to code clarity and "self-explainability"

Happens to me too. I don't think I could spit out words about random topics on a constant basis that happen to be interesting to someone else. On the other hand I know I could write a whole book easily, but I just don't know what it would wirte about.

Yup, I hope every one agrees to leave proper justified text to LaTeX/ConTeXt/Typst/<your_favorite_typesetting_software>, doing such thing for HTML is still ugly and makes things harder to read
