Just like it recently took a week to create a new web browser.

Lol, that’s the author’s take on the FastRender nonsense?

Bolognese is obe of my favorites as well, but it’s like a 4-5 hour process, yeah. Feeds me for a solid week, though, more than anything else I cook.

No, that’s the “responsibility” part.

Generally, I think it’s hubris for someone to think they can educate their kids better than a professional that’s trained for half-a-decade or more. And the most-common fear, that schools are “indoctrinating” kids, is easily countered: just be fucking involved in their lives.

That being said, the real world is always more compicated than theory. Parents should have a right to choose this path, coupled with a responsibility to adhere to the same educational standards as professionals.

This literally IS putting the responsibility on parents.

The law requires that part of “account setup” includes asking the user’s age bracket, and then allowing apps installed via “stores” to retrieve that value from the OS. The entire burden of trust in this implementation is placed on the owner of the hardware, exactly where it should be.

That’s actually the correct approach, they just got the wrong humans. It’s the executives that are FORCING developers to use AI as a metric that are responsible here, not the developers themselves.

Basically anything by Ado. This one’s probably my favorite.

Don’t scare me like that, Phoronics. I thought you were talking about DRM = Digital Rights Management. That’s the last thing we need in the Linux kernel.

NGL, you had me going at “to be fair to the LLM”.

The Arstechnica article with false quotes did, yes.

Such a bizarre and unnecessary change.

shrug To each their own, I guess.

I can definitely appreciate that opinion, I just… disagree. I don’t really give 2 shits about a file having some stuff in it that I don’t personally use, so long as it still has a purpose. I.E. I’ll take a little clutter in a file like that, that basically never gets looked at or edited, over the chance of cluttering up the repo itself, or PRs, or history with stuff that has no purpose at all.

Anyone else dislike the idea? Like, having ignore patterns be ported automatically to everyone that wants to clone the repo just seems… always better than making people do it themselves. At basically no cost.

I mean, both sound valid. I’d say the first option is likely the most common: some kinda firewall or private network that keeps your microservices isolated from the public internet. In a practical sense, odds are all of this stuff is physically co-located anyway, so it could even be that the networks are physically isolated as well.

What you describe seems sound, but I’d say you need a final “decrypt and confirm” pass on each matched result, to work around the hash collisions, especially if you only store partial hashes, like you describe (which also seems sound).

Also, depending on your database implementation (whether it has good text-search-indexing support), it might make more sense to not recombine the hashed tokens, and instead store them in a 1-to-many mapping table.

Dear lord, why are they running a database in a browser?

Not particularly, it’s just the default. And it’s not really about the PDFs, it happens when I’m trying to visit links, from outside of Firefox as well. Opening PDFs is just something I do far more often.

Tell you what, I’ll just link a couple of recent posts/comments from elsewhere:

It’s definitely not just first open, for me. Every two weeks, I scan and organize receipts as PDFs for my own accounting, so I end up with many files open at once, all while my existing Firefox wibdows are already open.

On Bazzite.

Programs often take a concerningly-long time to load. Like 30 seconds+. But it’s intermittent. Haven’t been able to put together any patterns as to when this does or doesn’t happen.

About 1/3 of the time when I try to open a PDF file (which open in Firefox), they just… don’t. Plasma will just spin with the Firefox icon on the mouse cursor for like 10 seconds and then silently do nothing. No errors of any kind reported. No idea where I might look for logs or whatever to help diagnose the issue.

Dolphin is definitely lacking in the UX department for frequent actions I’m used to in Windows, like mounting SMV shares with non-default credentials (basically impossible in Dolphin, only doable in CLI), creating new folders (I’ve been spoiled by having a dedicated toolbar button), and working with elevated permissions (Windows will just seamlessly prompt you when additional permissions are needed, Dolphin will just error, sometimes with useless error messages, and make you go elevate your session separately).

Windows (the UI concept, not the OS) do not remember and restore to their prior locations, which Windows (the OS) always handled pretty seamlessly. I know I can supposedly make this happen via the “window rules” settings, but I haven’t been able to find ANY good resources on how that system actually works, and when I tried to just do it intuitively, I fucked up things like where the Application Menu and Open File dialogs appear. No, I don’t want to have to configure it specially for every app I might use, I want there to just be sensible defaults that I don’t have to fight against.

Those are the ones that’re coming to mind. All very nitpicky, but I’m largely a UI/UX designer at work, so I’m pretty sensitive to nitpicky things. No regrets, though.
