Under privacy, ignored, I put providers that always suck. Digital Ocean, OpenInference, DeepInfra, AtlasCloud, and Alibaba (that one is different, it doesn’t suck in the same way as the others with a dumb model, but instead it’s heavily cen

FWIW, one article is very short on details, it’s a slightly expanded press release, and the other is a video. I’m not sure either is what’s needed more on HN.

FWIW, there’s a famous(-ish) fantasy author with aphantasia (Mark Lawrence), and I also have aphantasia, yet I absolutely love reading and if I would have to choose only one entertainment for the rest of my live, it’d be reading. But I can

Ohh, conditional comments. We had so many IE holdouts on our site, I think only around 2021 I removed the last IE specific fallbacks, and I think some conditional comments were a thing until 2020. I’m not sure when I removed a bunch of `msa

People clearly like lying… or just maybe their experience is different than yours for a multitude of reasons. I have absolutely no clear difference.

> Gamers will refuse to buy a PS6 if there's not an ironclad guarantee that they own the games they purchase, be it digital or disc form. I highly doubt that. I’d say 99%, probably more, won’t care either way. People barely care on

Was troubleshooting a strange SSD issue with ChatGPT. Apparently this outage resulted in losing the latter half of it. My uploaded files it requested are still in the library, but the actual conversation is gone.

I really like the Firefox usability. For what I do it works great. It has uBo and a bunch of other extensions, and if course it can sync with desktop.

Thanks, I did read articles about it back then, but while PRISM was mentioned always and everywhere, none of those I read mentioned the other ones, or if they did, just as an aside.

As someone working for a small publisher: The amount of "don’t care" is amazing. We tried 2 different big and popular "programmatic bidding" platforms. The amount of scams and extra-shoddy ads was crazy. And for each we

I must say I find it interesting you say "cannot have missed" as I never heard of stateroom or bullrun before

Including a very healthy metal scene, Martröð (50 % icelandic) and Nexion were recent favorites of mine.

The idea is to make people think about what they say, and maybe not declare themselves the winner in advance. Kinda like you do by declaring what my intentions were.

That’s what OP did. "Again, not some weird controversial point." OP already declared their statements as axioms.

I wouldn’t be afraid, but I also wouldn’t reverse a legit one. When you do that, you get sent to collections, which makes sense.

Wero is just starting on B2C, many business accounts still don't offer it. Not yet comparable to PayPal when talking purchases.

The thing is, burden of proof is with the bank. For a lastschrift, you have 8 weeks to reverse it, if you didn't actually sign the Ermächtigung, you have 13 months. Unless you don't care what transfers happen, that's pretty m

One thing I’ve not seen mentioned: encoding speed. Encoding to webp (and I think Avif) is really slow, while at lower effort levels, JXL should easily be fast enough for on-the-fly.

FWIW, I think I had to fight a bit to figure out setting everything up correctly for uploads to work. But as I said in sibling, nothing too problematic.

So it tells me I’m unique and it can track me across different browsers. It also tells me that in a different browser with a different fingerprint. Even private browsing shows more unique fingerprints that are completely different. I don’t

My impression is that the rules make sense. For big companies. Sadly there are no limits whatsoever, so the same thing that’s easy for big companies, is essentially impossible for smaller ones. I’ve seen several smaller bands in the EU stop

Baseline newly available. For Germany that means 80% vs the usual 90% (I wonder how the Internet looks for those 10% who use ie, Firefox 20 and Chrome 1 or whatever), which, considering that it doesn't really degrade well, makes it pre
