Perhaps next time you should consult with legal before asserting co-authorship on end users’ code. The appended comment was not “edited with VS code” or “sent from VS code”, it was “co-authored by Copilot”. You do understand that there are

I would also really like to see answers to these questions. This change explicitly claims that MS co-authored the commit.

What is the use-case where you expect users would be happy that you modify their commit messages with MS marketing? Do you think it would be ok to edit every commit to append “written with VS Code”?

For people suffering from tinnitus, here is a technique that greatly helped me: 1. Place your hands over your ears such that your fingers are on the back of your skull - thumbs should be on your neck and middle fingers at the base of your s

The timeline of the campaign makes it pretty clear that either: 1) they knew they were insolvent, and wouldn’t be able to continue or 2) the campaign was used to demonstrate market demand to enable their sale to Fitbit Edit: also, they sold

I'm not shocked - Pebble showed their true colors years ago when they ran the kickstarter campaign for the Time 2, which they cancelled and sold out to Fitbit. They never cared about their community. https://www.kickstarter.

This seems like outright fraud - how can they charge a cleaning fee and then perform no cleaning?

What if all the houses are following the “standard industry practice” of chaining anyone who asks for water? What if refusing to follow this practice means that you can’t obtain funding to build a house?

Also, take a look at the permissions required for the app - why does my dishwasher need access to my search history and location?

That's fair, and I'm not "blaming" meta for anything here. They're well within their rights to EEE ActivityPub, but I think it's naive to complain about people calling it out. This new is only really relevant t

It just occurred to me - post your fediverse content via thread and get preferred placement in the "neutral" feed. Boom.

I'm quite sure they'll think of something. I don't think most people could have predicted that apple using an "ugly" color to represent non-iOS messages would have such a strong effect. But apple knew, and they were

Extinguish comes after extend -- eg, the goal is to make their client the preferred client for fediverse feeds for a large number of people by adding some kind of feature that they can prevent fediverse projects from also adding. Then ext

I agree that decriminalization in Oregon didn't go well, but it's more complicated that "decriminalization doesn't work". I lived in Portland at the time (and yes, I voted for decriminalization). What I observed:

There are a couple methods - I use Working Copy to manage the git stuff on iOS. Far from perfect, but it works.

I’m actually interested in your product, but the total lack of pricing information or samples without giving you my email is a big turnoff. Dark patterns + AI generated makes me assume that you are far more interested in sales than in you

It’s crazy that it only costs $240k to buy control of tax filing policy and fuck over the entire nation.

Question to folks with good workflows: Are you using tools like DSPy to generate prompts? Any other tools/tips about managing prompts?

I loved my pebble and pebble time, but they really lost my trust with the “Pebble Time 2” kickstarter - it really felt like the kickstarter was just a ploy to enable their sale to Fitbit. Now they are hoping for some free dev work so that t

But it seems like this move incentivizes you to not improve the open source server, at least such that the open source server is always inferior to the pro version. If someone makes a new, more performant, open-source server, and it touch

I'm not triggered by crypto/web3 - I think there are a lot of good use-cases. I'm trying to explain to you that the README and website introducing your product/framework/platform (whichever it is, I'm still not
