Placing Flatpak as the top argument on that list to demonstrate insecurity for linux more generally, is a bit like saying your house is insecure if you use a padlock instead of a proper lock, so you shouldn't own a house more generally.
It is just a pet peeve of mine (disclosure, I am a terminally degreed engineer), but it is something a lot of non-EE people forget: circuits do not "push" current, your wall outlet does not "push amps" and this applies to micro-electronics (as well as pico, nano, fempto, etc)... the circuit is always a combination of the source and load.

So, if the load is not equal to the source (or vice versa, does not matter), by conservation of energy, we have some "leftover"... in signals, this leftover is going to travel back from whence it came, causing (possibly) attenuation or amplification depending on timing, which some might call distortion.

It can be tricky to keep this in mind when you are working with complex circuits, and it gets more difficult as speeds increase and signal sizes go down.
You probably wouldn't want a commercial dishwasher at home. You must first thoroughly rinse all food particles off all items (think human dishwasher in a resturant). Then it uses the hot water it used to sterize the previous load as wash water for the next. As soon as one load completes, it will immediately expect another, as they are designed for continuous heavy use. They are very loud, require a 240V or 3 phase connection, and release truly massive amounts of steam requiring a hood/extractor to not mess up a residential kitchen. For a family of 4 people washing everything by hand would probably be less work and cheaper.
Absolutely. Not all computer vision problems are AI related and not all AI problems are solved by pytorch. If I need a program for, say, soft real-time processing of some industrial automation video streams to run on a low power system opencv is my #1 choice. My 2c.

That's essentially Vivaldi. Also stores your data in Iceland for people who care about that kind of stuff and has some pretty good QoL features build in like tab tiling.

Best would be if the company increased salaries, then their employees could invest themselves in stuff that actually benefit them, boosting the real economy.

I have a Samsung laser that just prints. Have they stopped making them now? I'll just this one till it breaks. Hopefully by then there will still be simple printers available.

This is like with "smart" TVs. I just want a screen. Fuck right off with your godawful software. The only easy devices I've found for this are projectors. I know it's possible to find "professional" market panels, but it shouldn't be that hard.

It continues to surprise me that people don't make their "new tab page" useful, it's probably the page you see the most everyday. Make it your own, put your bookmarks in there or whatever is useful (I use https://start.me/)
Mine constantly falls into some deep sleep state where it can’t be found on the network and I have to spend ~10 minutes coaxing it out of sleep using an unknown combination of random button jabs and test prints before it can be detected by my devices again and will print.

If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know, I want to love my printer as well.
Yes, yes, and yes.

How do you accomplish that? Historically "shareholders" as a group have been quite effective (often but obviously not always) have been quite effective at using at their money for society’s benefit.

In fact every society which tried to take all of their money away and eliminate them as a class (more or less violently) has failed economically. Turns out when it works properly free market competition is strongest force for economic and technological progress that has ever existed.
What's the logic behind the spinner one? I've got to lvl 49 but still no idea what I'm actually trying to do.
Same here plus you get used to whatever you use in terms of how the commands and extensions and the like work. I've got Chrome, FF, Safari and others and tend to go with Chrome as it's what I'm used to. Also with FF I'm not sure how to translate the text from foreign languages. I tried some extensions but nothing so far works quite like Chrome where you just right click anywhere and click translate.
The United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and a coalition of 15 nations have jointly unveiled a comprehensive set of global guidelines aimed at safeguarding artificial intelligence (AI) models against tampering. The newly released guidelines advocate for the adoption of a "secure by design" approach in AI development and usage, emphasizing cybersecurity practices throughout the AI lifecycle.
Oh, ok. So next time I get one of those full page ads that darkens the entire page - I should just concentrate really hard at reading the barely visible content. Maybe it will go away if I scroll really really fast.
Was extremely important for someone who learned as a native to read Polish around age of three.
First part was learning a mapping grapheme to phoneme for single symbol.
Then came a second part - for a day or three picking out that symbol from raw text of newspapers, trying to pronounce its sound every time it was found.
Then as more and more symbols were learned, looking up one symbol for a while, then another for some time, then when nearing learning a whole alphabet mixing the patterns to lookup wildly.
After memorizing some 20/26 symbols, learning the connecting the sounds, and you could read simple words by then.
But again polish is extremely regular language in that sense but a very few of irregular short symbol sequences.
A lot of people don't have an ocean of transactions. Either because they're struggling or because they've recently pivoted into that space. Every little drop counts in those cases.
That's not my point, it's that if they are Ashkenazi they are on average starting at 1-2 SD above baseline.

this is a simple problem. Google is doing weird stuff, not replying to your questions - clearly not something you want to have a relationship with. So move away from google, cancel your card, problem solved.

The Swedish Transport Agency says they are only able to ship license plates using PostNord according to regulation, so I'm not sure how exactly Tesla thought they were going to win this lawsuit.

I wonder what their yard sticks are because their sales process sucks.

I was just on Brother’s website thinking I would get a printer and 20 minutes later I’ve given up. Their website is really bad. In my first five minutes I think I closed the pop up advertising their Refresh ink program five times.

They have a soooo many models but thankfully there’s a help-me-choose button. I went through that and at the end it recommended something that had everything I need. But there’s no buy button at the end. The more information button says I need to contact a dealer for pricing.

I think checking duplex-copying pushed me into their business line (even though I chose home at the start). So I started over and skipped that option and at the end I got a different recommendation but again, no buy button and the only listed retailer was Walmart. I searched for it on Google and I think it might be a discontinued model.

Their help—me-choose function didn’t help much because my number one feature is that it not have DRM’d cartridges (ie accepts third party cartridges) and that’s not something you can filter by.
How Codebase Structure Shapes System Predictability
I recently bought at a physical store of a large chain an "open box", unused HP LaserJet printer. I asked why it was returned, they said the buyers could not activate it. I was like "okay, lol, I'm a sw engineer, it would take 30 seconds to do that". I bought it and spend like 2-3 hours installing-uninstalling HP's crap software just to make it work. The quality of the prints are great and it works fine now but I'll never buy a HP ever again. I just want to plug it in and print. If I need additional settings, I'll install the related HP software but forcing it is very bad. Also still has not figured it out how to connect it to the WiFi so I use USB...
> The growth mindset is incredible for expanding when your product is in its early ages. But there should be a "sustain" mindset at some point. First you push to grow the market, or your market share. When returns on your efforts become diminishing, you push to improve how much you earn of each customer/each sale. At some point there should be a mindset that our company is worth X dollars, and we should sustain that.

The worst part is that when companies MUST switch must switch to "sustain" because they can't squeeze out any more growth or their efforts to squeeze out more growth become counter productive, they instead switch to enshitification and drain their user base, and the company, of all the value they can, essentially running into the ground for a few more quarters of profit and bonuses.

As an aside, I'm sad that "growth mindset" has been hijacked to mean "grow at all costs" when it originally meant "the belief that a person's capacities and talents can be improved over time". It was originally a term of nurturing, not of exploitation and infinite capitalism.
It isn't a server API or anything... It's just some code in chrome, and it has to remain because it's still allowed to be used in Manifest v3 but for a narrower scope of usecases.

(Note - I'm specifically talking about the controversial WebRequestBlocking part of the changes - the rest of the manifest v2 to v3 migration is largely just like a python 2>3 migration - there is equivalent functionality for everything).

Just call it a new tax, painting this as "benefits" is highly disingenuous.
Also on life expectancy, happiness, child mortality, and looking at migration figures, revealed preference too.
You could look into mass-loaded vinyl for low frequencies and foam diffusers for high frequencies. MLV can be used on floors, walls and hung from frames, although then the frames tend to leak sound at intersections.
I guess it's true that talking about these things as universal can have rhat effect. On the other hand, and not necessarily disagreeing with you, but playing devil's advocate a little here; sometimes it's important to make clear what normal development does look like so that a parent of a child with delays understands confidently that what they're seeing isn't normal development.

An acquaintance of mine has a son who's clearly delayed, probably autistic, but she's so steeped in "every child is different" rhetoric that she refuses to see the obvious, and it's going to be to his serious detriment unfortunately.

I guess the trick is to describe clearly what is normal while also cultivating a culture in which there's no shame attached to these kinds of delays.
I believe the point is to craft several sock-puppets which can then be sold on to advertisers and SEO folk.
If your dishwasher isn't performing well on eco mode for typical loads, then you have a bad dishwasher. Good dishwashers exist. I'd recommend looking at impartial reviews, like Which?.

Spending an extra £100 on a better dishwasher, to wash at 50 °C, will pay itself back several times, over the lifetime of the dishwasher. It adds up. You're wasting a fortune by washing dishes at say 70 °C.

Also, pre rising dishes is an anti pattern, a bad habit which people have gotten into. These days the advice is specifically to not do it. Otherwise you're fooling the sensors, etc. Plus, energy efficient cycles are long, giving plenty of time for the dishes to soak and clean.

If dishes aren't coming out clean, and your dishwasher doesn't have terrible reviews, then buy a bottle of dishwasher cleaner for £3, and put that in an empty hot cycle. That'll refresh the dishwasher to as-new performance. Clean the filter too, obviously.
In theory (and sometimes/often in reality) it results in more effective allocation of capital. It's not about "trickle down "econonomics"" but about those investors using that money to invest into more productive businesses.

> And salaries rise, primarily, through labour organization and collective bargaining.

No. Supply and demand is and pretty much always was a much stronger force.
Congrats! I'd recommend taking the foreign job and save judiciously for retirement.
The mastodon post to which this discussion refers to doesn't mention the word laser, nor do most of the recommendations in the rest of this discussion.
We are currently at 4% electric cars in Germany, so no it still make sense to have a sane maximum speed limit. I actively hate driving from Lindau to Munich, because the road is full of (mostly swiss) €€€ sports cars driving like crazy, because it is the only road the can legally drive fast with their cars. Please give us the tempo limit!!
The Performa 630CD was my first Mac and it warmed my heart to see its picture. That feeling went away quickly as I saw it being used as guinea pig for ROM shenanigans. Save that Performa!
That's a good point. However why not just hand out dividends? From what I understand stock buybacks are basically dividends with tax benefits.
Roughly in the mid-90s I bought at a local surplus store a "Carry 1" industrial 8088 computer which to my surprise I later discovered it could run Linux (ELKS: https://github.com/ghaerr/elks). I ultimately sold it on Ebay because although it was a beautiful piece of old tech, I was struggling to find more space for other things.

Here's one. I had only the central unit, mine had two floppy drives.

Srs question, does anyone actually use these?
I thought the accepted solution was to just add Blocking WebRequest to the Manifest v3 implementation, which should be simpler than maintaining the entire v2 specification.
Yes, but Banks version of the "extremely minor event in the grand scheme of things but terribly important to those participating in it" (i.e. Consider Phlebas) is much better.
Yeah, OpenCV is really easy to work with and use in quick scripts to process images.

I have used it to group images of the same subject/angle, then remove the most blurry ones.

They created the problem and now they’re selling you the solution. They don’t allow you to search for paid apps. That’s an intentional design choice on their part. They also frequently change and deprecate APIs, forcing devs to constantly update their apps, necessitating the use of subscriptions. I won’t give them the credit for fixing a problem they created, and I really don’t like the idea of paying them for the privilege.

For the record, I’m happy to pay for good apps and games and services.
FreeRDP 3.0.0-C0
Enshitification is not innovation.
I would love for my sony camera to have good wireless connectivity, instead they wanna me to buy their cloud service. Just because of how bad and not tested their usb-c connectivity is. But all the youtube "influencers" would suggest you go get a sony camera (using our affiliated links).

Oh, but then I remember AirPlay for audio having all kind of weird issues and delays even with hardware which works. So, wireless would sound good but would be broken for the important session.

Innovations in 2023 are "we stick our cloud in the product even if it does not make sense and we will annoy people to death with it". Or marketing shit like 100 megapixels sensors and slow cards/ports/CPUs to work with these megapixels. But sounds cool.
Silly question: I'm thinking of dipping my toes into local LLM.

Let's say I point my resources at getting one up and running that outputs tokens in an acceptable manner - then what? What can I do with a local LLM?
That was also my thought. I have used OpenCV 10 years ago for some small things, but today I would simply look for any existing neural network on HuggingFace and maybe train some custom classifier on top if I need sth custom. I cannot really think of any possible case where this would not work better than what you have in OpenCV. And if speed is a concern, there are also many small models, or otherwise you can quantize them yourself, or maybe train yourself a small model with knowledge distillation. You can get this as fast and as small as you want, while still probably outperforming everything that OpenCV can offer.
EVs run on tires that don't shed particulates or other compounds that contribute to poor air quality?
Precisely, commercial dishwashers don't clean dishes. They sterilise already clean plates.
Agreed, Opera was my far the fastest browser back in the day, and I was the only person I knew who used it lol
Hm, it looks like all Chromium-based browsers, including Edge, Brave, and Samsung Internet, use Google’s endpoint for web push subscriptions. Is that true? If yes, is that a potential privacy issue?
I'm assuming they're both VC companies in the same portfolio and are cross-marketing. If not, the the descriptions on both sides seem quite excessive indeed...
For my daily use, Firefox needs built-in passkey support. Can't switch for all uses yet. In the meantime, I'm running both.
> It annoys me on the iOS App Store you can't search for 'paid' apps. The choices are either 'free' or 'any'.

Because Apple are really a big back of dicks. In a few months in the EU we’ll be able to install third party app stores and I welcome some actual competition.
It's fascinating that this was downvoted. What the comment above is suggesting is literally a planned economy.

How would these "consumer groups" even work? Would they be democratically elected? Appointed by governments? How would they be insulated from pressure from companies trying to suppress competition? It would inevitably lead to a thoroughly inefficient and corrupt system...

And there is already a physical speed limit in many areas.
If the autobahn has no speed limit, but the right most lane is a basically "truck only lane" at 80- 100 mph, and its only two lanes, all vehicles pool to that one lane, and on that one lane, the slowest sets the speed.

Which is often lorries, slow vehicles etc. Thus even though you could drive the speed of sound in theory, in reality you can not, unless its very late at night.
This is mostly a law that is pushed by carbon groups, to rile up car-centric society against crazy "green" politicians.

Similar things can be seen with the refugee policies. Some Putin puppet pumps a refugeestream into the heart of europe, so that another putinpuppet can win elections. Thats how - if you have no good arguments, you win elections. By manipulating the narrative and forcing your oppossition into retarded splits between reality and principles.
This situation seems to involve the union/unions responsible for mail delivery, who refuse to deliver packages from Tesla, and by law all plates must be sent via mail.
These days i am switching between Firefox and Brave browser.

Missing functionality in Firefox:

* WebSerial/WebUSB - needed for IoT projects, flashing devices like drones etc..

* Firefox Android honestly feels a lot slower than Brave on my device.

* For some odd reason Google Meet has stopped working on my Firefox since last month.

* Touchscreen support by default on my 2in1 laptop.

* Super annoying to have to restart firefox whenever i do a firefox upgrade via. package manager

Missing functionality in Brave:
* Proper Tree style tab.

* RAM usage is probably not as low as Firefox
Yes, please! It would be so much better for local apps that have a management UI at a certain port: for one, you need to find such a free port. That's right, 8000, 8008, 8080, 8888, some of those might be taken already ;).

In addition you can rely on Unix access control with the socket. Much better than granting access to all local users, such as is the case by default with e.g. Syncthing.

OpenSSH can also forward these sockets, so remote use can be safer that way and the port configuration issue is relevant here as well.

I've also hoped that NFS and its ilk would be able to transfer Unix domain sockets, but I haven't heard of a system that could do that. Then one could, in principle, just ssh /var/servers/gw over NFS!

edit: actually read the proposal and it mentions most of my points, including Syncthing :).
