It's funny. 4K hasn't really hooked me for games?

It feels like the 4K rendering resolution often outpaces the quality of the assets being rendered. Similarly, back in ye olden days, I felt a lot of early 3D games looked better at 320x240 at high framerates than 640x480 at lower framerates.

Obviously that moment has long passed. I'm sure it will be the same for me with 4K vs. 2K vs. 1080p as the technology and production values progress.
>We should pass a "European Foreign Lobbyists Act", and send them back to their own country.

Another way to look at it is that European companies are basically asleep at the wheel and should wake up and realize the nature of the game they're playing at before they get eaten alive.

Might as well try an pass a law to get them to wake up and realize the world they operate in.
Glass is recycled infinitely more easily and more widely. Pasabahce sells upcycled and recycled products here, and mark them clearly. Also, we have glass collection bins which has different compartments for clear and colored glass. These are periodically emptied.

Even if they are not recycled, a glass jar is used for more than five years in an household, only by replacing the caps in the process. If we don't need the jars, we give them away to people who need them, adding more usable glass to sneakernet of jars.

Glass is finicky in some forms, and expensive to make it durable during production and transport, but rarely, if ever, ends up in a trash bin.
The simple 2-bit explanation is KDE is following Windows trends, Gnome is following Mac trends. Even the screenshot widgets are both following the closed-source versions (recent Gnome screenshot widget is exactly the new MacOS screenshot widget)

I think it's a bit of a shame that Ubuntu is the "no headaches" distro, but ships with a DE that will annoy nerds much more than KDE does. My Linux experience got so much better under KDE. I respect what Gnome does a lot but I feel at home in KDE land.
On the other hand, I haven't had GNOME crash in years. KDE 3 or 4 times in the past year.

YMMV

This is more likely than one would think, given such a large amount of samples as detected in this campaign. But there are at least 2 main barriers of an actual incident:

1. Internal instructions telling the generator to avoid exactly that. We wouldn't want to rely on this alone though.

2. Due to LLMs nature, it's unlikely that such generated malicious code would repeat addresses of actual malicious actors. This still leaves a variety of attack vectors such as bind shell, dos, on-site exfiltration, and more.

Ultra-processed foods are formulations of ingredients, mostly of exclusive industrial use,typically created by series of industrial techniques and processes (hence ‘ultra-processed’).

There's more in the section. There's 4 levels of foods they define.

As a child of the '80's, it intrigues me that a cookbook from 1960 included a recipe for "Molded Avocado and Tuna". I don't recall avocados being popular until the late nineties or early aughts. At least not in southwestern Ohio.

This raises the question: was there a previous period of avocado popularity, or was this one of those recipes included in a cookbook with unobtanium ingredients that no regular home cook ever makes?

I tired to do a compost last year but I live near a stream and tons of small flying insects infested the compost bin. It would never get hot enough to compost, ants moved in after the flies left in the spring. My climate is hot during the summer but even compost started wouldn’t help.

I recently bought a low-end ASUS Tablet PC with a rather nice 13" OLED screen (Vivobook Slate 13 T3300), and exorcised Windows 11 S from inside it the moment I got it. I then installed the latest Fedora on it, and chose the GNOME spin, because of the supposed touch UI readiness.

I must say, I am not impressed by the UX of the whole setup... which is a shame, since they iirc slaughtered the perfectly good GNOME 2.x UI to cater to those devices specifically around a decade ago - and for what? If this is all that's there to reap, it's been a bad trade-off.

Looking forward to trying Plasma Mobile; maybe it can improve on the status quo.

They'll keep laughing at the EU. They can eventually just find loopholes in local laws and hire everybody as a contractor.

So that, they get a few euros more in exchange of peeing in bottles.

American companies are so abusive, that's why I invest on them, there's no way any other local European company can do the same that American companies can do here. They play under different laws around the world.

Nobody wants to say it, but I have the feeling countries eat it up because they need the tax revenue and bullets. It feels like the value of the dollar is backed by atomic bombs.

I find it amusing how much leeway Big techs have in the EU, everybody else need to follow the law, as European companies know that if they do things in a bad way, they'll get wrecked, 100% chance.

It doesn't feel like the EU is sovereign from the US, it's more like we're its vassal. They are above the rule of law and we're here to consume their shitty products.

See how much VW lost in Dieselgate, I've never seen a big America-n company getting that kind of scrutiny over here. They give a single billion digit fine and move on, even though they keep not respecting rules regularly.

> How can you do web development or even React if you don't understand CSS?

I wrote my first line of CSS more than 20 years ago, have dug my way through CSS specs and browser quirks a countless number of times, write a ton of CSS in my day job, and even I wouldn't claim to really understand CSS.

There are just too many hidden rules, too many edge cases, to really ever be certain you have now understood everything there is to understand.

EDIT: I mean, consider this guy's recent blog post[0] for instance. He claims that CSS is logical and, presumably, that he understands that logic. Yet his article contains a number of factual errors, as mentioned in the HN comments. Nevertheless, he writes about CSS on a regular basis, so I'm sure he understands a great deal about it. In other words: In the world of CSS, even experts and experienced veterans are prone to not understand everything in detail.

It's probably a good idea to get input from the people on the ground doing things. Lobbyists are not exactly that as currently formulatd, but they are supposed to be the way for companies to express their opinions.

They have become pay to play by years and years of corruption and bribery.
The core of CSS, and principles that new CSS features follow, haven’t really changed in decades. It’s just been built upon and refined.

Given these articles are looking an underlying principles of the CSS layout process, I wouldn’t worry about it being out of date. Everything it covers certainly hasn’t changed (because so many websites would be very broken if they had), and new CSS will be built on the fundamental principles laid out here. So even if it doesn’t cover stuff like grid, it will definitely provided much need background information to help you understand the details of how grid works, generally build a better intuition around how both old and new CSS features work.
I tried Elm in ~2018 and it was delightful. Ended up checking it out bc it was mentioned as 'prior art' in Redux's website. Didn't end up adopting bc everyone around me thought I was crazy to use something so niche.

It's the kind of thing that even if you don't end up using, you come out with lessons that make you a better programmer. Some that I remember:

- The compiler was fast, it made me aware that you could have an iterative workflow like most dynamic languages but driven by types

- The language/framework constructs (views, updates, etc) made it clear what kind of functionality had to live where so it makes me aware to define roles/arch in React apps that are 'just components'

- Error messages are just awesome, it was the clearest I had seen at that point and made me realize other languages just haven't paid enough attention to make them more usable

This is the solution as I recall (stolen from reddit post cited at bottom):

Step 1: Right click an open Picture-in-Picture window. In the context menu, select "More Actions" -> "Configure Special Window Settings...". This will populate most of the window settings for you.

Step 2: Click "Add Property..." and select "Window title". The newly added row's text field should read "Picture-in-Picture". Change the dropdown option from "Unimportant" to "Exact Match". (All PiP windows in Firefox use this title and by making it Exact Match the rule shouldn't affect any other Firefox windows.)

Step 3: Click "Add Property..." again and this time select "Keep above other windows". The dropdown in the newly added row should be set to "Apply Initially". Select the "Yes" radio button if it isn't already. (As a note, I think that didn't work for me as I have it set to "Force" rather than "Apply Initially")

Step 4: Click "OK". That's it. No more manually setting Keep Above every time you open a PiP.

Since doing the above it's just worked without issue, though it was annoying that it was broken in the first place.

The fourth page "PLAST" (plastic) has a pie chart showing the composition of collected plastic waste. The red 23% is "residue for incineration".

The other text includes "The Municipality of Copenhagen has demanded that at least 75% must set aside for recycling and a maximum of 25% as residual fraction for incineration."
China is ruled by a communist party.
Of course the party will seek to curb political powers of the capitalist class while it is still allowed to exist.

The existence of the State is only a symptom of class conflicts that need to be tamed, and in all cases, the State is a partial arbitrator; it will necessarily defend the interests of a class over an another. In China's case, the State sides with the workers, so that's a good thing those "Navalnys" get thrown in jail.

Yeah, I think the way you're supposed to do that is you install the kwin script which gives you the option to "connect" to various signals and then communicate the results via dbus to your service / listener (I don't think the script itself can host a dbus service which would be much simpler). One thing I got from looking at this is that KDE's documentation about scripting is either absolutely terrible, insufficient, or non existing.

KDE has reinvigorated my love for the desktop after years on Mac. I use it on my PC, laptop, and steam deck! I’m a big fan of their apps including Konsole, Kate, and KDEConnect. It’s an all around impressive project and surpasses MacOS and Windows in my opinion, which is remarkable. Really grateful to everyone that works on it.
I agree. If we want harsh sentences to act as deterrents, I struggle to believe 30-40 years isn't viscerally similar to 100 years.

We don't want people thinking, I can steal a billion and if I'm caught get out in my 30s.

When you give 100 year sentences, I'm not sure what you are doing other than feeding the public's vengeance.

>I get that you don't like or trust credit card

I do not get why people insist on defending the credit card companies and their ungoing enshittification and changing rules and laws[1]. I would prefer you refuting my central argument[2].

Credit card laws and rules have many more problems than just chargebacks. For two decades online payment webpages stole credit card numbers and stole money from people. I could list many more documented cases.

Elsewhere someone argues that debit cards are not credit cards. I agree.
Of course Starlink forms reject debit cards too.

It would be nice if cloud offerings like Hetzner would allow one to set the contract duration and pay in advance, for example, one year. And once that year passes, you could tell them to extend it for another year, or do nothing and get your server deleted. This way you have a control over your spending and avoid surprises. I guess some providers (OVH?) allow you to do that, but of course it requires that all costs be fixed and have no "extras" for bandwidth consumption or things like that.
Most useful software that badly needs usability improvements has a group of people that just got used to it, and they will complain bitterly about any attempt to correct UI mistakes. If it’s customizable, they can configure it back after making improvements so it’s useful to everybody else, too. I hate the way gnome is set up, and welcome any updates to KDE with open arms.
I wonder if there's more variety in game. From all the examples in the blog and release, it looks like the model is segmenting static background, non interactive background, platforms and the player. And just builds the game to allow you to control the player and interact with the platforms.

I agree that pull is the best model for posts. For comments I still think the best model is to push them to the post author, and let the post author moderate. This way people who can behave civilly can get an initial audience by writing comments, and having a link to their blog in the profile, with no intermediaries involved. If someone doesn't like the moderation, they're always free to write a comment-as-post, where they can write anything they want but have to take care of distribution themselves.
