I have actually managed to unfuck my back at some point, by doing a motion like the cat on the right. 🥴

The photo looks like an art piece, too…

Gab vorher kein Firefox Maskottchen. Es gibt mehr oder weniger noch ein Mozilla Maskottchen mit dem ursprünglichen Dino-Logo, falls du das im Kopf hast:

It’s right-wing trolling that it’s specifically non-binary. It’s just iconography they use throughout Firefox, when displaying error messages or the like.

Mozilla didn’t bring it up. The story is made up by right-wing trolls.

This story is made up by right-wing trolls.

The dino represents Mozilla, not Firefox itself. And yes, for a while, Mozilla didn’t have the dino in its official branding, but it’s now back in there. The flag is a dino head. As per usual, significantly more drama was made about them “removing” the dino than it was worth.

Apparently, it’s right-wing trolls who made up this non-binary thing. So, you are correct, but it came from the other side of the culture war.

They’re not talking about language with the male-as-default, but rather for example this:

The depiction with less discerning features is what we assume to be male. If you want to express female, you have to add a dress or long hair or curves etc…
There’s actual scientific research on this bias existing, although I don’t know in what way this extends to animal depictions.

There’s also analog computers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer

Alas, they got largely displaced by digital computers…

I like to use LilyPond for transcription. It’s basically LaTeX for sheet music.

For 8-bit music, I like to dick around with MilkyTracker. It’s a tracker-style composition tool, which basically came to be in early computing days. It takes a bit to get used to, but then it’s super simple for writing a quick chiptune.

And I guess, I’ll also throw in VMPK. It allows you to play piano on your computer keyboard, similar to how lots of DAWs do.
As with any such implementation, it’s unfortunately limited by keyboard rollover, but still useful for playing around with intervals and jamming a bit. It can also be used as MIDI input for audio software, which doesn’t have this feature built-in.

Okay, but just to be clear, the problem is not that it can’t do a timer. The problem is that it claims to be able to and even produces a result which looks plausible. It means, you cannot trust it to do anything that you can’t easily verify. If they could fix that overconfidence in a year, it would be much better.

I’ve been wondering, if you could combine LLMs with a logic programming language like Prolog. The latter is actually able to reason through things, you “just” have to express them in Prolog facts and rules.

Well, from doing a quick online search, I’m most certainly not the first person to think of this, which does not surprise me at all…

Hmm, is the last staff thing just the death message from Sif Muna? I seriously don’t play often enough with Sif Muna, because Heplhjdtfhxhdh always seems so good… 🥴

Yeah, in particular, anything close to 100 million users presumes that non-gamedevs will use this. For anything beyond simple variations of existing games, like e.g. “Skyrim with spears”, you need to have an actual understanding of game design. It is not enough to have cool ideas.

So, I really don’t see many non-gamedevs using this. Especially when they can pay less to play a properly designed game.

Okay, but why would you:
a) use machine learning for rolling out an update,
b) tell your users that you’re using machine learning, and
c) not call it “AI-based”, so that your investors throw more money at you?

Also interesting: What’s “cloud nine” in English is “cloud seven” in German (“Wolke Sieben”).

No idea, if those are linked…

Yeah, I can understand the frustration when an external decision forces you to disappoint some of your users, but ultimately you have to pick your battles. When neither the Python nor Rust ecosystem thinks those platforms are worth supporting, it’s probably not either worth it for you to worry…

Oh man, you keep finding these hex values in other places. I assumed the author of this particular theme just made them up, based on what they thought looked good.

And yeah, that is wild to me, that it passes a contrast check. I’m far from having the worst eyesight and still find it needlessly difficult to read.

Yeah, I do customize the themes like that, too, usually also #ffffff for the foreground or vice versa. It would just be nice to not need to maintain my own themes. 🥴
