TIL there’s a new operating system that came out less than a year ago but already captured 5% of the market, passing ChromeOS and Linux

This stat is rubbish because they’re basing it on web views, and the millions of ai scraping bots are influencing it

We laugh about it but there are lots of idiots that will pay for it

No, don’t even buy LG.

I bought a dumb LG panel for my bedroom and I had to buy black enamel paint to go over the status LED. When the panel it’s off, the indicator LED it’s BRIGHT. BLUE. BLINKING. And it’s so powerful that I still see it because the light leaks from the small plastic vents. I also had to additionally insert a Shelly 1pm smart relay in the socket and program it with the logic “from 8pm to 8am if power usage is under 5 watts, cut the power; repeat the check every minute”

When the panel is on, instead, the status LED it’s off 🤷🏻‍♂️

AWS is incredibly expensive, if you’re hosting something like GitHub or Netflix on them instead of just owning the servers, you’re incredibly dumb

It wasn’t public, didn’t he use a fork made by an Israeli company that removed the message encryption and “securely” archived everything on a remote server where hackers (and other foreign states) could download everything?

It looks like from a low budget science fiction parody movie from the 80s

I Remember a decade ago i read a post on blogpost on exactly this

I wasted thirty minutes to search but I didn’t find it, but it was something like Michael Jackson was shocked to learn during his First tour in mainland china that the locals gave him the Hanzi 迈克尔·杰克逊 where the last character means “inferior” or something like that, instead in Taiwan the locals chose 麦可·杰克森 which has a better meaning.

Yes, it’s hidden somewhere in the disk and it’s a normal font file, otherwise

It’s in AppData\Local\Microsoft\FontCache\4\CloudFonts\

It’s not only Aptos, office 365 expands the font selection with ~100 exclusive “cloud” fonts that are hidden to other non-microsoft apps

My take on Aptos is that they designed it to make alternative office suites less compatible. Until now, when you installed Microsoft Office, its fonts were available system wide, so by installing Office 2007 or greater, it would make Calibri available for any other office suite on the system.

But now Aptos is an exclusive of Office 365. Without hacks, the font can only be used in the latest versions of Microsoft Word, and LibreOffice on the same system can’t load it, forced to replace it.

People will think “what the hell, when I open word files with LibreOffice, It changes the font, LibreOffice is not good”

If Israel is left alone in the competition then they wouldn’t need to hire the massive botnet to manipulate votes and pretend to be popular

In a post on LinkedIn, The Gardening.club, the AI division of The Sweetshop, the studio behind the ad, said the ad took them “seven intense weeks” to create. They even admitted “the man-hours poured into this film were more than a traditional production.”

Melanie Bridge, CEO of The Sweetshop, shared similar comments in a post on Instagram, saying, “The hours that went into this job far exceeded a traditional shoot. Ten people, five weeks, full-time. Blood, sweat, tears, and an honestly ridiculous amount of coaxing to get the models to behave and to honor the creative brief shot by shot.”

So why not a traditional shoot? Especially for a multibillion corporation, this money gets used in 5 minutes of operation for the CEO private jet, literally pocket change

Yes, the font is weird, and it wouldn’t make sense to have an LCD screen for that, also with a full steel construction

Actual machine is way less fancy:

Source: the daily mail, so I won’t link that shit

No, even closed their mastodon accounts

Weird. I wonder why

It’s all euphemisms.

“Peace” prize

“Truth” social

and so on

That prize is supposed to represent what? The hands of the dying slaves that built the stadiums in qatar?

And then you just go to extensions.gnome.org and tell to run the extensions anyway by ignoring the GNOME version

Don’t have much experience but I run extensions designed for 45 on 49 without any problem

Unfortunately for me GNOME without extensions it’s unusable and I don’t have the patience to stay 3-4 versions behind to ensure compatibility

Edit: I wrote the wrong URL, it was .org and not .com

Am I supposed to feel sorry for a billionaire that made money by hoarding a basic necessity?

I explain what I mean: those algorithms have no memory at all. Each request is made on a blank slate, so when you do a “conversation” with them, the chat program is actually including all the previous interactions (or a resume of them) plus all the relevant parts of the code, simulating a conversation with a human. So the user didn’t just ask “can you clear the cache” but actually asked the result of 600 messages + kilobytes of generated code + “can you clear the cache”, and this causes destructive hallucinations

I have no experience with this ide but I see on the posted log on Reddit that the LLM is talking about a “step 620” - like this is hundreds of queries away from the initial one? The context must have been massive, usually after this many subsequent queries they start to hallucinating hardly
