Even then, English has become the defacto language of computing. Some amount of knowledge of its basic vocab is expected, and many computer related words in other languages are english loanwords.

Even back in the day they were bad. Things generally worked but were rarely pleasant

and, as is being increasingly forgotten, SOUND QUES. Seriously, I get they can be annoying but they make navigating and interacting with things so much easier if you can't see them. Sure, TTS exists but is far more inefficient and obje

Funny how that works. It's almost as if the web was designed to be a tool for semi-interactive documents instead JVM-esque WODE environment

I miss itanium. I feel like a madman for saying it, but I do. Something about it is just alluring to me. Alas, the problems were too hard to solve or weren't worth solving anymore Ironically, it died around the time LLMs/AI starte

OpenBSD is the most security hardened OS out there, and the project maintains many pieces of software people take for granted, like pf, openssh, and libressl. FreeBSD is definitely the most robust, and is a very good server OS. NetBSDs nich

Specifically, their old bluetooth code was crap so they chose to get rid of it. If someone wants to have OpenBSD bluetooth, they'll gladly accept patches if the code meets their very strict standards

They don't like GPLv3. The other BSDs used similarly old versions until they moved to clang, but netbsd is pretty tied to the gnu toolchain and aims to be as portable as possible, so they kinda have to stick to gcc

At least with kagi it's not like they have a better option. They could go with bing but then they'd just be another bing frontend

It's about as daily driveable as BeOS was in its heyday

I always thought it'd be hilarious if they released an engine called "open source" (or, someone made a source replacement called that)

I've personally met more women into vtubers as a whole than men. Though, I've met a lot more men who exclusively watch a single vtuber to an almost obsessive degree. This probably has its roots, like most things in the scene, in J

I think neuro-sama has been accepted because she isn't deceptive. It's very clear that Neuro-sama isn't a real person or even really intelligent. The other big reason is that she collaborates with other vtubers and has brough

Japanese idol culture and the first few vtubers, iirc

That's one reason. Another big one is it's fun to put on a character. It lets you step away from things you don't like about yourself while embracing the things you do

I watch a few indie vtubers (and was a fan of idol corp before they got sold off and their first english gen left). I like the streamers and would watch them regardless of what they look like in meatspace

That's absolutely idiotic

That's not the point though, the point being made ist that an LLM written paper very likely doesn't actually find something despite looking like it does on the surface

I think it's only really useful for things you'd want to be able to control programmatically, like text editors or in this case window managers

Correct. There are ways to host bedrock servers, it just isn't as easy and most people are better served by realms. Also, I thought you could play the iOS version on Mac. Doesn't apple let you run iPad apps on macOS?

the people who want to overturn big platforms seem a lot larger than they really are. Think of how many people genuinely like facebook. It seems impossible to us, but there are hundreds of millions who still actively post and interact who s

I really hope a similar revolution comes to photo and video editing. While there are plenty of really good FOSS video editors (including the one blender has), none of them are truly professional level. For photo editing, the GIMP is pretty

I know games at least are still predominantly done in Maya. That's starting to change, with newcomers having learnt blender and anything indie-adjacent using blender for years, but large AAA studios have used Maya for so long switching

Realistically, who among blenders target audience doesn't have 3 button mouses or a numpad? Numpads have been standard on desktop keyboards since the 80s, and any mouse sold today can at least kinda do middle click by clicking in the s

Those are, and at the time of blenders creation were, assumptions that should be made for workstations. Things objectively work better with more buttons

I feel like a project to make an adobe CS competitor, limited in scope to those early versions like CS1 or 2, could really get off the ground. I suspect for 99% of users, things added since the CS1/CS2 days aren't really used enou
