I, at least, literally made my own keyboard layout some years ago, to be able to type all the characters I want. Got versions both for Linux and Windows (haven't had a need to use Mac yet). It's basically an extension of US Intern

Yes, I hear lots of people saying Tesla's "FSD" product can drive by itself already. Yet if the car crashes while in FSD mode, it is still you who are legally the driver and you who will be responsible. You are the driver, re

Feels like we do these rather often? Tons of people can comment with whatever they're using which they feel are great, and others can tell of their experiences with using the same and not being impressed. It's a rather endless lis

Inheritance tax is usually only on values above a certain point, though. That point can easily be set reasonable high – say, 5% tax on all inheritance above €2M, and 40% on all inheritance above €10M, and normal families would hardly be aff

What, are you not impressed by us putting retired politicians into an independent committee according to their party's political power in parliament?? Are you suggesting that the committee should consist of some kind of qualified exper

Perhaps. But put another way: Writing code is artistic the same way writing text is. Whether that is a function call, an ad, a screen script, a newspaper article, or a chapter in a paperback the writer has to know what one wants to communic

It's Plato's cave: We train the models on what are basically shadows, and they learn how to pattern match the shadows. But the shadows are only depictions of the real world, and the LLMs never learn about that.

Strangely enough Russia (and their predecessors) and Norway has never been at war. Ever. Not that the past is a predictor of the future, of course, and Putin is operating quite a few spies and saboteurs here too. But having both Sweden and

Unfortunately this is also in pretty decent farming land. The land owners will be compensated, but I understand many don't feel too happy about leaving their farms...

Eh, don't know about that... We're really just like anyone else, we've just ended up with a fairly decent political environment by the time we found oil, specifically. We've been pretty good at mining out our copper ores

Not sure if the question was asked with sarcasm or not, but, me being me, I actually tested it here as soon as I read it: It's instant. OnMouseDown event, if you will. Using KDE Plasma 6.

Hyggelig om du forteller hvilken sak det faktisk er, siden jeg ikke kjenner den igjen fra beskrivelsen din. Nice if you could tell which specific story this is, since I can't recognize it from your description.

Laws upheld by the state are the worst good way to maintain order. A much better way is to have the parties play nice with each other, build trust, and negotiate as equals. This allows for much better and more detailed agreements, for quick

It is not informed consent if people don't understand what is happening, though.

As such, the user benefits are all indirect. Plasma needs to be ported to Qt6, and thus Plasma 5 becomes Plasma 6. In the process a lot of code is cleaned up, and it is easier to find and eliminate bugs, and also to add new features. Severa

My mother calls for me every time during the guitar solo of Guns N' Roses' Sweet Child O' Mine. Reminds me of my childhood memories playing video games in the basement, and always makes me smile. Love that song :)

It was stated as a causal relationship and reported in the news since the 19th Century. It was still denied by some, and ignored by most. At some point we should probably start doing something – and enough – about it to maybe avoid the wors

That's not correct. We have had models showing global warming caused by fossil fuels since the late 18th Century at the very least. A few papers in the 1980s were predicting global cooling, but those have been shown to be erroneous – s

I was terribly skeptical to Steam when it launched, as I am to all online/hosted services. What if they just remove a game I'm using? Does all my games stop working if they turn off their servers? Am I really going to have to be o

My personal experience is that it's been like this for years already. I'm mostly using laptops (Dell XPS at the moment) with some Ubuntu-derived distro with KDE Plasma on top, bluetooth peripherals, external monitor, and external

Pascal's wager. But the big flaw there is rather straightforward: which god? Is worshiping a false god better or worse than not worshiping at all? Should one avoid eating pork in case the Jewish/Islamic god is real? Or maybe avoid

Wait, what? Norwegian is richer because of Danish?? (Also, what conquest?) I'd say it's the same language, just with lots of different dialects anyway. What has enriched the Norwegian (and Danish and Swedish) language beyond the G

All PII (personally identifiable information) of EU/EEA citisens and residents would have to be filtered out, yes. Chat messages in themselves are not necessarily PII, but then again WhatsApp isn't claiming to freely read the mess

Yeah, it's annoying. I've also seen them block entire subreddits for mobile. E.g. this is what I see on my Android phone when trying to read r/Europe: https://veqz.net/reddit_block_europe.jpg («This community
