Exactly, my last laptop was around €750 but I remember looking for a similar (in terms of performance) Framework laptop and it was around €1200 if I remember correctly, not an insignificant difference for a student.

It’s interesting that the people who claim to avoid politics being prioritized over technical merit in a project, usually end up doing so themselves. Nobody else cares about whether their Linux Distribution is “woke” (whatever that means) or not. NixOS is innovating with declarative configuration, Bazzite makes itself accessible to a whole new demographic, Debian continues casually maintaining global digital infrastructure and meanwhile in contrast, some are hunting for rainbows.

The thing is that people don’t want to get that new game that that seems so fun to find out that it doesn’t actually work. Other games not working is seen as a sign of potential future trouble.

I had a conversation with a colleague of mine about this. He believed that Musk’s decision to merge xAI and SpaceX was truly because of the potential of datacenters in space. I was unable to convince him that the logistics of this would be a nightmare and that this was just a way to make the Twitter buyout SpaceX’s problem.

Have you tried Tweakers Vraag & Aanbod yet?

It’s not that bad. A lot of our servers at work use Windows. It certainly took some getting used to as someone who has been using Linux on all their devices, but it does work.

I think he means with competition that does use it and does not disclose

Great choice, using some of that VC money for things that actually benefit the world

Imagine a Captcha asking you how to make a pipe bomb

Go seems like a good option to begin with; you can do a lot with it, and it’s not that complicated but does expose you to concepts like pointers.

There are plenty of very “serious” systems written in Go (e.g. Kubernetes), it’s not a toy language.

Everyone could’ve seen it coming from mile away

It’s been a while, but I think it’s based on a trick to add comments to Markdown. I tried it with Tesseract, and none of the lines rendered, but only if I add an empty line in front.

It’s a bit of a hack, but it can use existing endpoints and only needs some minor changes on the client side. The alternative would be implementing support for it in Lemmy, Mbin, PieFed, etc. but that probably takes a while and can also be done later when it has proven its usefulness.

Edit: I think I found the explanation behind the syntax https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4823468/comments-in-markdown

I’m not looking forward to finding out my PR has ended up in the spam folder 😔

It was an image from this GitHub issue, but it seems GitHub now adds a JWT to image links that expires?

I really doubt he would have used AI for writing the policy against it after listening to him, but regardless. I do agree with you that it won’t go away, and we’ll have to find appropriate solutions to deal with it.

I know, I opened an issue on Voyager’s GitHub last year to suggest changes

Some communities don’t have specific rules, and some have several. It can be quite hard to judge why something is breaking rules. On the video’s community for example people often report videos, so I have to go through the entire thing to figure out what’s wrong with it (and some people post videos that are more than an hour). Sometimes content is reported because of something the people who created it did, something that is not apparent when watching the video.

I don’t. It shows that projects are getting flooded by low quality AI submissions to the point where they feel they need to ban it, despite the difficulty of enforcing it.

I worry that at some point many online spaces will deteriorate because real interactions and content are drowned out by AI.

The flo app apparently shared data with Facebook. Besides that, there already have been multiple cases where police used Flock cameras for abortion investigations, so this really isn’t that far fetched.
