macOS too sadly. by the time you realise there's a problem the machine is already comatose and unresponsive all these electron apps and invisible virtual machines (looking at you Claude) really don't help.

Around my location (southern brazil) there are hundreds of species of stingless bees, living in colonies. Many (most?) produce honey too. I don't dispute that there are also lots of solitary bees. Bees are wonderful and way more divers

"Vocal fry", aka "creaky voice". It's stereotypically associated with irritating young women. I like me a good rabbit hole that's interesting and also digs into stereotypes. Turns out, like many memes, it'

From what I understand it's the opposite, an android compatibility thing layered on top of a linux base.

My LG does just that. The tv remote sensor stopped working (and broke again after servicing), so now the only way to use the TV is by the LG app on my phone.. which asks for permissions to Nearby Devices, Location, Camera, Microphone, Notif

This remembers me of the Modbook, back in... check notes... 2008? I'm old. They would take a Macbook, re-case it and transform it into a tablet. Super cool. Looks like they kept doing this for a few iterations. https://en.wi

Not sure if it adds anything, but a factoid I know is that CD timing is expressed in minutes, seconds, and frames, where each frame is 1/75th of a second. I'm not sure but I think this is also the smallest time resolution. Then ea

for me 16gig is definitely not enough. I'm on a 36gb M3 and I have to reboot it every three to five days to have it behave again. I have normal dev apps open: a browser with jira, another with testing, another with documentation, an id

Most times the idea is implied. I'm trying to solve a problem with some tools, and there are better tools or even better approaches. ChatGPT (and copilot and gemini) instead all tell me "Love the intent here — this will definitely

It's very hard to have ChatGPT et al tell me that an idea I had isn't good. I have to tailor my prompts to curb the bias, adding a strong sense of doubt on my every idea, to see if the thing stops being so condescending.

Even worse: If you have any complaints, call a number we won't publish anywhere on our site and a robotic voice will just laugh at you.

My YT mobile pet peeve is that when you toggle the captions, an useless "Subtitles/CC Turned ON" is shown for 5 seconds.. OVER THE CAPTIONS! Most useless message ever, placed exactly where you do not want it to be.

Bolsonaro termed "far right" seems to be on the mark though. The guy praises military dictatorship, with many military figures in his government. He targeted the press and judiciary as enemies of the nation, and so on. Lula hasn&#

> And they are incapable of putting tariffs on online services and digital products. This would be interesting. And worrying. Laws are easy to write, regardless of applicability.

Of course it is not that simple. The more frequently you are stopped by the police, the greater the chance they will find something to charge you with. Since people of color are stopped more often by police, they face a higher likelihood

macOS also does show desktop and apps for half a second when I reopen the lid, before falling back to showing the login prompt. super annoying. (M3 MacBook Pro, so reasonably new)

Water is used to displace debris and to carry it up to the surface. A cylinder of 30cm diameter and 10km deep would hold around 700k litres.

DNA analysis can be used to profile you. Health risks, ancestry, genetic conditions. This could be used to deny insurance coverages and employment opportunities due to perceived health risks. DNA analysis is rapidly evolving to extract more

The association between your DNA and your name and contact details IS both sensitive and private though. Let's not be disingenuous: the dna companies don't just store dna snapshots. they store it along with a bunch of other data,

Percent math doesn't work that way. Every country should produce an additional 1% of the whole world total. Very different from 1% of what they usually do, which is a fragment of the total.
