You can say the same for Apple. I think the trademark applies when a common word is used in a distinct business case. Here the word is used as a filter name, for instance. That application is unique.

There are too many suggested replacements that I find are overly prescriptive, contextually blind, and needlessly aggrandizing. Some, I admit, have merit. (Senile, grey-beard etc.) To me they are common sense. Perhaps, the rest of the terms

I did ~22 prompts. All of them I correctly identified as satire. I don't know how they are generated. Feeding titles into a language model? Very likely, because the resulting titles are very easily distinguishable as satire given the c

Can't use my mouse with it. And it doesn't look nice. And it requires a shortcut palette different than the OS conventions. I bought VS Code with $0.00 and sent the rest to needy kids in Uganda.

I went with Hugo. It is written in Go. If I were to make my own generator from scratch, I'd go with python. It's the language I work with the most. A lot of my blog content will be generated from python (figures etc) or will show

I tried this debloater, but it debloated my ability to play video games that I like. And debloated the luxury of not having to drop to the command line to fix many of my problems. Also debloated the ability to run some very convenient day t

This article is from 1992. For those in this field, has there been further development on this topic?

I really resonate with the tone of the article. I believe unrepentant ridicule is the correct (and only) response to web3. This belief is based on my not-so-expert, but also not-so-layman's experience of the lack of regulation and tran

I am not a prolific contributor in the open source scene, but I participate with some frequency. I've always thought Codes of conduct are simply platitudes to keep over-eager human resources personnel, twitter activists, and their ilk

With window-specific menus, I can directly click on and open the menu button of another app/window without first having to focus it first to see the menu options. I find that to be more intuitive. I have always been a windows user and

One of the biggest hurdles to my use of Jax is that it doesn't work on Windows, my daily driver. It's inconvenient when playing around with a new tool that requires a whole other OS to run. I'm hoping that gets figured out so

Yes, pornography is harmful when everything is considered. Yes, this is my held belief held partly from personal experience, and partly from limited study, and partly from how I was brought up. No, it is very unlikely that I will change my

I like the features in Microsoft OneNote (web/desktop apps, cross-platform, nested sections/pages, cross-linking between pages, free-form doodles and formatted text). And all of that is free. The only feature I think is missing is

Is it purely a VR desktop window simulator, or can it play video games? (funny aside from the video ad: they didn't finish the clip showing the guy managing to take a sip from the cup with the headset on, haha.)

To be fair, this is not a 101. Exposing port 80, figuring out a static external IP, or setting up DDNS, and https all need more hand-holding I think.

To the polyhaven.com home page? I don't think it did. They are all sub pages which adds another navigation step to see the root page, which is what I find irritating.

I tried looking, and I find it very irritating that in that whole web page, there is not one single link in the menu/footer/sidebar to polyhaven.com home page so I can click and discover what it actually is. Not one. This occurs o

I think this website is a sales pitch for their patreon, which itself doesn't seem to be doing anything meaningful to advocate for web0. A funding goal is to "publish a guide on tapping the raw power of HTML". I mean, just go
