StimDeck··on Starting emails with "BEGIN PGP MESSAGE" will fool the filter
There were some punters that would need a single IM, although I don’t know the exact method, I am pretty sure it was malformed rich text or html.

I think most punters sent large amounts of data in many consecutive IMs and hid the local modals so they didn’t punt themselves.

StimDeck··on Bye Bye, AI: How to block Google's AI overviews and just get search results
Step one, stop using google.
StimDeck··on It was online for 3 seconds before getting a 404 request for /.git/config
My humble opinion is that it’s inevitable due to inequality. There is money to be made doing this type of thing. Never underestimate the time-rich, money-poor.
StimDeck··on Run0, a systemd based alternative to sudo, announced
SSH being linked to XZ doesn’t.
StimDeck··on Run0, a systemd based alternative to sudo, announced
Not sure of the relevance of this comment, can you elaborate? Were you the one that caught it? Our balls were inches from the bandsaw. Systemd made it possible to compromise SSH through an unrelated, single-maintainer lib that wasn’t even a dependency.

Edit: never mind, I see you are a systemd crusader.

StimDeck··on Run0, a systemd based alternative to sudo, announced
Just a reminder that there are plenty of systemd-less distros available. Also a reminder that those distros would have been safe from the nearly-solar-winds-level backdooring of Linux distros from XZ utils.
StimDeck··on Updating Unreal Engine Pricing in Late April
Idk, I feel like corporations are always willing to throw away capex dollars, but are loathe to spend any opex, even when it would actually save money overall.
StimDeck··on Sugar: An activity-focused, open-source software learning platform for children
Neat, the gears were pretty entertaining, but whose kids will sit and use this?

I think it’s incredible that people are volunteering their time to create open source learning software.

I hope it’s extensible enough to incorporate paid content. IMHO anything less can compete for attention in today’s attention economy.

StimDeck··on The "End of Programming" will look a lot like programming (2023)
We just need to train an LLM how to make an LLM that can make even better LLMs then rinse and repeat. Nothing beats working yourself out of a job.
StimDeck··on Google brings Stack Overflow's knowledge base to Gemini for Google cloud
My experience of stack overflow is that the question in the title is too often not answered directly. The specific issue is tangentially related to the title and the answer can amount to a typo or a bad assumption.

There are often clues in the comments that are more helpful than the “answer” and often outdated answers have the most votes.

All this to ask, how on earth is something like an LLM expected to reconcile those issues.

StimDeck··on Nintendo is suing the creators of Switch emulator Yuzu
The people who steal it were probably not going to buy it anyway. And it’s not like they are downloading a car.

And you’re planning to create a GitHub gist later to share it right?

Curious if you are running with or without mods.
StimDeck··on Learn to Read Korean in 15 Minutes
Funny that this answered my questions about the comic version so quickly. Was trying to resolve 김밥 starting and ending with a b sound in the second syllable.
StimDeck··on Learn to Read Korean in 15 Minutes
I can’t figure out how to make my favorite Korean word work; 김밥 (gimbap/kimbap).

It looks like it should be pronounced “gim bob”

I must be missing something.

StimDeck··on I turned my open-source project into a full-time business
Simple. Open source doesn’t mean “free code for life”. Most people try to turn their time into money. Besides, any one of us could fork the project, compile binaries with a novel license check and charge for them. Why not the person who actually added value?
StimDeck··on Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
Certainly not compared to the Pi.
StimDeck··on Snap lays off over 500 workers 'to promote in-person collaboration'
It’s a decision, they could become profitable yesterday, but what about tomorrow? They are betting for a bigger payday later.
StimDeck··on Mozilla's abandoned web engine 'Servo' project is getting a reboot
And everyone forgetting some people still support IE in the process.
StimDeck··on Mozilla slams Microsoft for using dark patterns to drive Windows users to Edge
I personally circumvent this by opening teams and outlook in Firefox
StimDeck··on Alzheimer’s cases tied to no-longer-used medical procedure
That depends on if you are familiar with the concept of trade-offs and recognize that the alternatives could have been worse.
StimDeck··on GitUI
I am perfectly comfortable with CLI git, certainly when measured against my peers, but I still prefer the visual tree, context menus, command palette, etc. I like to right click and edit commit messages. I like to copy branch names. I like to do visual three way merges. I can understand what went wrong more quickly when a PR has unexpected changes. I can see what branches are in origin at a glance. I don’t have to remember the name or hash of anything.
StimDeck··on SEC 'deeply regrets' errors in crypto case
> The rare rebuke of the agency stemmed from litigation filed by the SEC in July against the crypto firm Digital Licensing Inc., or DEBT Box.
StimDeck··on Berlin's indoor pools
No mentions of Tropical Islands? Not in the city limits, but basically Berlin. Technically indoor, at least mostly. Pretty amazing if you ask me. I’ve never seen anything like it.
StimDeck··on Show HN: Ending the Absurdity of SSO Tax – Introducing ssotax.org
Auth0 jacked up their prices for enterprise SSO after a very low number of integrations. Previously they were much more affordable.
StimDeck··on How Much Are Games Like Factorio Sapping The Intellectual Potential Of Humanity?
I can confirm these things are highly addictive. I have easily played Mindustry for >100 hours.

It scratches that programmer itch nicely.

StimDeck··on Anti Tank Vespa
Sadly nothing about how these fared in combat, anyone have any insight?
StimDeck··on Revenge bedtime procrastination
Do you have some monetary interest the sufferers in this thread seeking vengeance? In this and other comments you are antagonizing people who take exception to the connotations of the English word revenge being part of the title.

If you feel like it’s revenge in your case, great, please leave the rest of us alone.

StimDeck··on Parkinson's patient able to walk 6km without problems after spinal implant
I tried to get something from that link but the abstract is too broad. Can you quote anything from the paper that could help someone understand without reading the whole thing?
