super+e, clicking the explorer button? I think you're being purposefully difficult here. I cannot list any of the bugs I have had with Windows off the top of my head, but I can with linux. Driver issues, Pulse audio randomly playing s

At the end of the day, I think the categories are very broad and better respect people's privacy compared to what we had before. Some people in the privacy community seem to think advertising and tracking in any form should not exist a

I work (partly) in SEO. One of the main issues that affects search and will get even worse in the future is the post-scarcity environment of the web when it comes to information. Say you had five websites for that each have identical cookie

If you use ublock origin or brave, you can turn on the bypass payways clean filter within brave or you can subscribe to the list on filterlists.com

I don't think it does. Humans are agents within reality and have perceptions of reality. Your brain having a representation in this reality that might be different from 'true reality' doesn't change the argument at all.

I think there is a hard limit to what we know and what we can assume to know based of this point and in logic by the Münchhausen trilemma. It's interesting to think of the source of sense data as persistent or consistent when it could

Because humans never experience anything in and of itself, but only the output of the interaction between sensory data and a brain, literally everything is purely the result of human mental activity.

Now you can just not have an account or any first party data given to a customer, or with tools like anonaddy and fake people generator, you can spoof first party data that won't be matched when hashed and compared across different pla

I firmly believe that once ai is in a position to replace programmers and other white collar workers, it's more of "we're all fucked" moment. Society would have to so radically change once we reach even that infantile le

I don't agree with you. Human knowledge itself is not bound only to the previous knowledge before it, so why wouldn't AI be any different? This is more of where AGI will shine, but I still think LLMs can produce novel innovation.

Sounds cool but isn't it somewhat lazy to not include at least a picture in the article of what you're talking about?

I’m 29 now and I can’t remember my thought process at the time just that I remember realizing what I measured out wasn’t correct but I also realized this while under the effects of the drug. The snow is not constant and usually intensifies

When I was 23, I misdosed myself and took 110mg of 4-AcO-DMT. The experience was EXTREMELY traumatic and I believed I was dying. At one point I was so overstimulated I just lay on my kitchen floor convulsing uncontrollably. The next few day

I feel the same. The UI to me since plasma has seemed large and awkward whenever I tried it. The default theme is a bit outdated as well. Something with gnome or cinnamon just really does it for me, cinnamon especially.

your advice makes your own comment pretty ironic, don't you think? but no. I really don't have to provide evidence that the sun is hot, that Washington D.C. is the capital of the United States, or that being fat is bad for you. I

Not at all. The science is very clear and has been for quite some time - being overweight is bad for your health and increases all cause mortality. I could link meta analyses about how strong the link between increased weight and CVD is as

I also had these terminals at my public library much into the later 90s and early 2000s. Now that library and the terminals are long gone. Getting old is weird!

I tried this out for a little bit. Looks very clean. I had these issues and suggestions: - Set min to dark mode, but it made no difference. Restarted to no avail. - Set all ads to be blocked, still saw a lot of ads on reddit, youtube, other

I didn't say it was. However, defining what is tracking and what is not is also an issue. Let's say facebook runs an ad on its platform to my website with a url of site.com/fbad. Then I can see how many people clicked on the

on the contrary, I think facebook and google have a huge incentive to work with different governing bodies to define what data is ok to collect and build identifiers around, and what is not. There is no way facebook would just throw up it&#

It is crazy. If the EU just wants to fully outright ban advertising - then do it - but set a standard and stick to it.

Looking into it, Krita does seem very capable. I don't think we should really be mad at healthy competition existing in these spaces though, they should lead to better tools for end users.

I've never looked at Krita because it's always been referenced to me as a painting application primarily and not an image editing / photo manipulation tool. I understand there may be some cross over in functionality, but aren

All of these are well known carcinogens but it is crazy the lengths people will go to defend alcohol especially in this regard. Alcohol, in any amount, is a poison and is treated as so by the body. It breaks down into acetaldehyde and damag

What has been well understood for quite some time is that low, steady-state cardio will burn the most calories over high-intensity workload. The effort needed to maintain a high-intensity workload is exponential. The average non-trained per

Something I've wondered lately is what will life be like in a post-truth society? we already see examples of this now where a large number of people get their news from fake memes on facebook. There are huge swathes of people who live

Agreed. I also always feel like linux communities or hackernews is gaslighting me into thinking that firefox is just as fast as chrome. It's not. There is a tangible speed difference when using it.

Do you make someone sign a legal document when you give them your number detailing the uses and limitations of how they can share your number? No. You don't. Once you give your info away it is not "your" info anymore. It is i
