Is this even detectable? Doesn’t it just show up as a regular mouse and keyboard?

TiDB is another option in this space which claims to be even cheaper and auto-scaling than PlanetScale.

I think they're talking about just the murder-for-hire. It may have just been undercover agents the whole time and no murders actually occurred.

Strange that issue types is only available if your repository is part of an organization. Why is this not configurable at the repository level?

GitHub Actions are also failing with 500 (gateway timeout) errors when trying to fetch the repository.

I was skeptical but I just opened it and the UI does look cleaner and less bloated than X. However, UI is fixable and what matters more is content. There needs to be a compelling reason to switch, and I don't see one yet.

I haven't used Signal in a while, so I probably misremember some of what it supported. I just looked it up though and Signal's delete feature seems to leave a "This message was deleted" placeholder like what Facebook Mes

Signal has probably the worst UX of any messaging app. It also used to require sharing phone numbers to add contacts, which imo is already a privacy violation. Telegram is fast, responsive, gets frequent updates, has great group chat, tons

I actually worked on this part of the Google Search infrastructure a long time ago. It's just JSC with a bunch of customizations and heuristics tuned for performance to run at a gigantic scale. There's a lot of heuristics to penal

Nobody has ever linked me or talked to me about something on Threads, and the only reason I know it still exists is because of annoying ads on Instagram. Is it a ghost town or am I just not the target demographic (what is the target demogra

Threads is far from mainstream and just filled with spam and OnlyFans spammers at this point.

Macs have always had great battery life and the Apple Silicon chips took it to another level. It remains to be seen if any Windows laptop can actually consistently achieve their marketed battery life given Windows’ terrible track record for

That was my impression too, that this was more of a thread to slander Telegram than anything. The main leg that Signal has to stand on is it uses standard encryption, but it has all kinds of shady components like it used to require sharing

If anything this makes me seriously rethink my use of homebrew. I already had security-related concerns around it, but the fact that he launched this weird crypto thing that's going to cause a lot of spam on GitHub is pushing me even f

Don't you need a built step to transpile Typescript anyway?

I agree, but there's an army of bots that will vote down and try to silence any points like this. I simply don't use anything related to Meta and tell others to do the same.

I'm sick and tired of getting notifications about Threads when I'm on Instagram. The notifications are very hard and sometimes impossible to turn off. I like Instagram, but I couldn't care less about Threads. Being forced to

I haven't experienced any instability with personal routers to be honest.

What would I get from this both hardware and software-wise that I don't get from ASUS routers?

It sounded like they would if they could (for instance trying to sell to Anthropic or instating a "slow it way down" CEO), but they even failed at that. Not an effective board at all.

Right, so getting Sam fired was retaliation for that.

Was this really motivated by AI safety or was it just Helen Toner’s personal vendetta against Sam? It doesn’t feel like anything was accomplished besides wasting 700+ people’s time, and the only thing that has changed now is Helen Toner and

Again, who's stopping her from publishing research papers? She felt threatened and decided to retaliate by orchestrating firing Sam. They likely violated RICO by essentially nuking the company's valuation and trying to sell to Ant

How far should she go to fulfill her interpretation of that duty? Should she even commit crimes in order to keep the non-profit mission? There's 700+ employees that disagree with her interpretation of the company's mission, and ye

Is that worse than people who defraud and steal from users and hold entire companies hostage for their own motives? In EA, the ends always justify the means, so that includes doing any or all of the things you mention if it achieves some id
