Being curious about the world is a good thing. The mental structure I created for myself is that accomplishing things is more important to me than following any of my interests so I focus on the things I really want to accomplish and chaos of interests is the place for play and self-development.

From my experience random good things happen when you can balance things.

"You wouldn't stream a car for free would you?" This is just playing with meanings but for most musicians having their music on Spotify or on torrents is pretty much the same. the only difference is that only in one case there's a company profiting in the process.

Google spreadsheets allow queries in sql. I would say for most common use cases it's a level of complexity most people are not interested in.

Does anyone know examples of models to open source small projects and making them economically sustainable. I can understand how it works for big projects but for smaller ones I never found very good examples.

The nuclear apocalypse still did not happen.

The censuring of porn content exists for PR reasons. They just want to have a way to say "we tried to prevent it". If anyone wants to generate porn, then it just needs 30 min of research to find the huge amount of models based on stable diffusion with nsfw content.

If you can generate synthetic images and have a channel to broadcast them, then you could generate way bigger problems then fake celebrity porn.

Not saying that it is not a problem, but rather that it is a problem inherent to the whole tool, not to some specific subjects.

Isn't by definition being wealthy a way of cutting the line even if most of the times the line is a metaphorical one?

If you're wealthy you don't live by the same rules as everybody else.

can I fax that in JAB Code? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAB_Code)

Does anyone know which software was used to make the video?

For anyone thinking about using this: At some point I tried to do a logo for myself on a 3x3 grid (so pretty much the same as this) and while the text was perfectly readable to me a few people I tested it with couldn't read it.

If code has been released as open source then the code is out there now. Seems too late to stop. I would also question if apple has any benefit in launching an android app. iMessage is interesting to apple as long as it forces people to buy apple products.

I have a cli prompt that asks me each day if I'm doing client work for a certain client. At the end of the month it calculates the total, emails the treasury department asking for the invoice.

I also was unwary enough to build my own web framework over time, so part of the code I initially developed for a non profit to manage memberships is now also used as my status page to check on website status, hosting renewals, to keep a list of clients, organize invoices. I also use part of it in my house automation instead of something like home assistant. The interesting part is that developing a complex module for one project sometimes creates new possibilities for the others.

Did apple had any right to hijack sms, feels a bit entitled. When I first got an iphone I didn't really understood what was going on with me messages, and why they were different for some people. The interface is so subtle that most people think they are sending sms.

The most astounding statement is this: “What do Americans have to pay for if we give them everything they ask for?” they noted. These sources insist that Spain openly collaborates with the United States, and always exchanges information. According to these sources, the number of times in which Spain has refused to share information of interest to Washington is “between one and zero.”

Either this is a lie, the USA and Spain have zero competing interests, Spain absolutely ignores it's own laws and regulations or Spain gave up on being an independent country. I can't imagine a world where the USA shares everything with Spain, so I can't image why would Spain share everything with the USA.

I experienced poor perfonmance until what, maybe 2013? I really don’t understand if people really experience poor performance of if that’s just something people say about firefox.

From their FAQ: "The best way to ensure your IDs stay consistent throughout future updates is to provide a custom blocklist, even if it is identical to the current default blocklist."

Another way I noticed is good at skipping ads when adblocker fails is to refresh the page. When it loads again it does not play the ad.

And if that's piracy then I should be arrested for piracy when I put my computer on mute and when I look away from ads, because that's what I'll do if there's no other technical way not to watch ads.

What do you see on social media?

On Instagram, I only see pro Palestinian posts. I might have seen 2 pro Israel posts since this whole thing started.

Just for reference I'm from Portugal and my network surely skews a lot towards left-wing people.

Firefox does not have the platforms. If you're for ex: google you have android, google.com... to promote your browser. It's the same for all the big browsers except Firefox. For the average user, I don't know how can Firefox compete with that.

Too bad Firefox OS did not became a real thing.

Well, I would say most humans will keep breathing even if you give the tasks to an AI. From that perspective AI will emit more CO2 not less.

maybe cultural context would make more sense. I mean I was always into things like punk and more dark aesthetics, so maybe it just doesn't make sense to me personally but would make sense for someone who as different contexts.

What's with the gradient/rainbow led trend? Is it just me that don't have the necessary cultural references to find it appealing?

To me I immediately associate it with an unprofessional, cheap look.

Most iconic probably is a multiple winch system to have a cemra in the studio folowing the cat around but there's some reverse engeneering videos that for someone outside the field blew my mind.

I have once particcipated in a similiar project. One thing that I find can be easily overlooked is that a lot things, specially in small farms are very specific to the location and the specific varieties of plants you have. Trimming dates can change by more than a month just be moving a few hundred km. Same with terrain conditions and that could just change from one farm to the next. I'm not sure if that info can be systematically gathered and distributed without being extremelly complex at the same time.

How often do most people see the desktop during a session? To me is when turning on the computer, just before before mail chat and browser open. After that I just switch between apps.

What I'm currently doing instead of a live wallpaper, is that I have a firefox plugin that on opening a new tab without url, shows me a site with status on things that matter to me.

I believe the most minimalistic and productive way is to just use php. The language was specifically just created for that. If it's a simple site then you don't need composer you don't need router logic. just create separate files for header footer navigation and include them on each page.

I would love a plot twist where Apple is forced to change it's logo in Switzerland.

New languages are hopefully made taking into account all the lessons learned from previous mistakes older languages made. Old languages can't change too much or they just become hell to upgrade, so they can't compete with the newer ones.

I don't think there's much of a problem with this.

But I will still setup a wordpress if I need a quick site.
