We've come a long way if people are being warned off Norton on account of its association with Avast. (in my day we were warning people off Avast on account of its similarities to Norton)

I don't think this is as widely known as you believe: I use dockerd via colima so it's not a limitation I've encountered - if I had, I likely would've switched to podman wholesale instead of compromising my system. Eithe

HTTP is a pretty complex space once you get into the nitty-gritty of use-cases, common request handling patterns & conditional/dynamic header-definitions. In general this leads to: - (a) built-ins (& some libraries) being very

Youtube is very bad, but I have honestly not yet seen anyone implement this well on any platform, which indicates to me that it's not a solved problem. Very open to being proven wrong here though - do you have examples of Whisper Large

Even for English (which surely has the best support) anything outside of urban American accents is still incredibly weak - you can pretty much guarantee very noticeable mistakes on even highly intelligible mainstream urban British/Iris

for me it's just a slight reduction in the font size due to firefox ignoring the above - which doesn't seem enough of a difference to warrant folk calling it outright "broken" It's entirely possible I'm misread

It's hard to say since the gp didn't specify what they thought was broken. The overall layout is fairly odd & weird - but it's the same in Chrome & Firefox. There is one technical bug with the main body font-size - it

Wordle hard mode (which I play) generally limits you to a similar degree as this game - it's less strict programmatically, but anyone willingly opting into hard mode is likely following the same rules as are enforced here. So it shoul

I tried playing this as if its wordle & got it in 2 guesses. How do they do this ??? That's next to impossible in wordle & the probalities seem like they should be the same?

I've generally seen it used in Slack, which can be sync/async depending on context, but most commonly sync. I've never seen it used in online forums or e.g. email so not really sure what you're getting at with your comme

I take your point but I have two counterpoints: 1. I've experienced both (ai paste slop & ai providing helpful context that would otherwise have been absent) but the former has been a much bigger problem than the purported benefits

Windows 2008 is the teal desktop I remember fondly - they brought it back after going blue in Windows 2003. I'm presuming it was the same #008080 shade as '95 & '98.

Obviously if they took 6 months of active prioritized development to do this they're incompetent with or without ai. What's remarkable is that it clearly wasn't a priority, which not only sends a clear message to Linux users,

I could reword that CVSS is useless on its own - EPSS takes CVSS as an input afterall. The point here is that applying environmental scoring is the hard part. That's the algorithm that's containing the complexity.

ITAR has no such hard requirements. Might be some orgs that tell themselves they're attempting this under ITAR but they're not doing it in any comprehensive way. The only thing within ITAR that I'm aware of concerning itself

I'm very curious what organisations would have such a policy. I can't imagine it being viable for any size of org without significant self-deception (or banning the use of all open source at which point CVEs are moot anyway).

Ah! I misunderstood - they were talking about forgejo & I skimmed too quickly & read it as Tangled being a forgejo host (akin to e.g. Codeberg). Turns out it's their own stack - very cool, I'm more interested now.
