Oddly enough, I'm colorblind and I have had the worst time with color schemes. Many are completely unreadable and lack sufficient contrast. Others I just don't like So, I've started using AI models to generate color schemes f

The biggest issue with it is that watching a few videos in a row will result in YouTube soft blocking your IP for an hour or so. They're really cracking down on watching videos without a login

The difference is that, in the west, there's an acceptable counter narrative. I can tell you that Ruby Ridge and Waco never should've happened and were examples of government overreach and massacre of it's own citizens. Or &l

What's actually going on here is the Unix Philosophy applied to more and more platforms. Previously, if you wanted to rig up a screen recording app in a few minutes you'd use Linux and specifically one of the minimal desktop envir

Sure, people are free to believe whatever. I am quoting the very scripture they claim to believe though and so it would be hypocritical to do otherwise The term we have for those folks is that they're doing "easy-believism" a

You've been dealing with the wrong folks then because all Christians should believe what James says when we says James 2:14-20, 26 (NET) What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works

Nah, this is just the No True Scotsman fallacy. San Francisco is FAR more left in their politics than most of the nation. For example, the new mayor described himself as: > As a lifelong Democrat and San Franciscan, I am running for mayo

I'm reminded of a rather unpopular statement made by Mark Shuttleworth > Don’t trust us? Erm, we have root. You do trust us with your data already. You trust us not to screw up on your machine with every update By using Windows, you

Mainly historical reasons: Back in 2009 during the Cyanogenmod days, Google issued a C&D to the developers to keep them from distributing Google Apps alongside the main ROM. IMO it was less about the app distribution and more to force C

My highschool teacher in 2008 taught us how to use the "mail merge" feature in Word. Out of the whole class it was the most "advanced" feature we learned and I wondered if I would ever use it in reality. Nope. Good to kn

All things being equal, you're right. I'd want to avoid the issue of wanting a lawyer and prefer the resources of a larger corporation making those decisions But they're not equal. The police can acquire a warrant and serve i

Ah yes, the mere possibility of a sentient AI arises and we're already invoking Roko's Basilisk More seriously, that seems like a poor way to make moral choices in regards to AI. It's important to be able to distinguish if it

Choosing an instance limits you in two ways: 1. The rules of what you're allowed to post 2. The other instances that they choose to federate with (typically a block list that is public) If you find yourself limited, common advice is to

I think that's a huge overstatement of how much duplicated effort is involved. The process is much more akin to: * OS 1 finds a bug in Gnome, reports it and perhaps fixes it * OS 2 benefits from pulling in the new code as well, fixing

Generally speaking, I highly advise against this path. You're going to end up picking up some Java With Guest languages (Kotlin, Scala, Clojure, Fennel, etc) you almost always end up learning the original Hosted language. Heck, most la

Trust busting would open up a larger ecosystem of stores and/or phone companies, which may even be in other countries and outside of the FCC's reach Though, fair, that's a glorious and highly theoretical future :P

That's not the point The point is, without antitrust regulation, the FCC only has to go through two giant corporations. After trust busting Apple and Google, we would theoretically have many more competing stores. The FCC would have to

I'm not sure using a different license actually opts you out. By merely hosting your code on GitHub you grant them the right to analyze your code on their servers[1] They may be morally in the wrong, but I'm unsure they are legall
