This seems to be an opt-in, user-supplied field that apps can use to implement parental controls easier. If you’re gonna do birth dates at all, this is the way.
But IMO it should be more granular: there should be fields for WWW access, social media access, sex/nudity/violent content, and apps should respect those individually. Then parents can choose what is appropriate for their child at their development level.
Hey, Stalin (for all his many flaws and awful decisions) industrialized the country and lead the war to victory over nazism.
Trump is worse, he has literally zero redeeming achievements.
If you vibe-code it and use an LLM to respond to reviews, it is really easy to tell.
If you know what you’re doing and just using an LLM to speed up boilerplate writing, honestly who cares. It is technically copyright infringement but so many people are doing it that it’s not likely to be a problem.
I think this policy is overblown a bit. A better policy is “you need to understand, and be responsible for, what every part of your contribution does”. Enough to tell lazy vibecoders to fuck off, and allows for some flexibility in your tooling.
You know that you can just get a visa, go there, and talk to people there, right? Or watch many of the interviews from reporters (western or otherwise) who went there already. It’s not like NK where you can only visit certain pre-approved areas with a “tour guide” either, in Cuba you can go whenever you want (within reason) and talk to whomever you want.
US is a similar style of “democracy” to modern-day russia, in that despite there being elections, whoever ordinary people vote for they are still fucked and the oligarchs get all the money and power. It’s just that the US political system achieves the same goals with a slightly more sophisticated machinery of “two parties” serving the same interests, which is enough to fool many people into believing they have a meaningful choice.
Chat, is this real?..
Most expensive military in the world, 50x military budget of your enemy
Advantageous position of a surprise backstabbing attack during negotiations
Kills enemy head of state on the first day in his own house
Commits uncountable war crimes
Still loses in just 3 weeks
It takes a special breed of a fucked up system to suck this bad, they can’t even do imperialist forever wars now.
The MIC is redirecting every cent it can toward profits, and so there’s nothing left for the actual military hardware. The pedophiles in charge can barely think anymore and are high on their own AI-generated propaganda. Truly the century of humiliation hallucination for the USA
TBH I’m very happy with the state of Linux desktop as it has been for the past 3-5 years or so. If things enshittify I’m just gradually freezing the versions that I like for most things, except stuff that directly interfaces with the internet (kernel, nftables, browser, nix, git, ssh, rclone). My main hope is that LibreWolf keeps updating and doesn’t let in too much AI slop from firefox, and I’m reasonably sure everything else on that list is quite difficult to enshittify.
I don’t think the pen input sensitivity/features on it is suitable for pro-level artists, but I might be wrong.
I mean, it is some carbrain propaganda that aligned with the government-approved destruction of walkable cities and public transit. Soo it is kind to a hymn to enshittification in its own way.
I have multiple contributions to FOSS projects (incl. small patches to bash and linux), and I’m a commit-access maintainer of Nixpkgs. While I do use a local LLM occasionally for boilerplate stuff, the attitude here makes me immediately distrustful of the Lutris maintainers. Going out of your way to disable the Claude Co-Authored-By on commits is counterproductive and dangerous to the project in the long run. LLMs can often confidently spit out good-looking code with subtle but critical flaws. Commits with non-trivial amounts of LLM output need way more scrutiny than human-written commits, and making it more difficult to tell the two apart is fucked up.
I also dislike Iran’s political system, but overall the US has killed, maimed, tortured and ruined the lives of many more people then Iran’s government ever could. US is currently the most evil country on this planet, and has been in the running ever since its founding.
But even then, let’s suppose for a second that somehow Iran’s government is more evil. So what? Bombing Tehran city center, destroying mosques and museums, causing an immense ecological disaster by blowing up oil reservoirs, and double-tapping an all-girls school with tomahawks will not help the people of Iran in any way. It made their lives measurably, verifiably worse for generations.
Sorry if I’m being whooshed, but literally https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1901/witbd/
US has been doing the exact same shit to leftists ever since the founding of USSR, this is not new. Sadly the tea party people have nothing to worry about.
$3.68/gal is just under $1/L, or 0.85€ / L. Still insanely cheap.
Ok, so correct me if I’m wrong, but usually the reason you do this is because the cost to produce this benefit is lower than the price you usually sell it for, so you can inflate the claimed value of the benefit, both to appeal to candidates and to write it off on your taxes. But at the moment tokens are usually sold way below cost (i.e. the companies are not profitable), so why the fuck would any company do this? Are they this short on cash now?
Between this and GrapheneOS+Motorola thing, is Lenovo becoming less shit again? Awesome!
I can’t remember the site, now, but I literally couldn’t log into one this week because the email never arrived.
Well, email allows you to solve that issue by self-hosting. But what you can’t solve is that if you do self-host, gmail will drop your emails to spam or just discard them completely, just because it feels like it, even if you do the whole dance with DMARC and have used the domain for a good few years. It’s frustrating as shit.
Don’t forget the Ukraine war and the ongoing social, health and economic consequences of the pandemic.
Trump is a dumb, racist, idiotic pile of pedophile shit, but US wasn’t doing great before him either.
Sorry to be picky, but it’s definitely way more than 40000 dead Palestinians.
