I don’t understand why they’re using wind over tidal energy. Surely a similar scale tidal power farm would be preferable to felling 16M trees?

Solution: use Obsidian and save in Drive.

Maybe Reddit management think all the rebel users have left the platform. Just the sheep are left.

Another day and another nail in another awesome online community that has terrible leadership. Where will the communities move to? What new areas of the Internet will be created?

Could people please add newbie resources to this post?

I suspect there’s going to be a lot of low hanging fruit with AR apps over the next couple of years thanks to Apple.

I’ve often wondered if huge amounts of stress as a child could cause celiac disease, or be one of the factors. As the child’s body is developing, having parents go through a divorce or experiencing a death in the family, could create life long physiological effects.

It would be great to know what changes are being made to the instructions.

“…the majority of online ad revenues have gone to tech giants such as Google and Facebook-owner Meta.”

Stifling out competing voices.

Windows did an update today and I found myself dreading what I would find when I logged in. I did have to confirm or skip a bunch of setting that I’m sure I skipped before, but was relieved to find my minimal layout kept in tact.

Made me think more deeply about the lack of control I have over the device I spend most of my time using.

What has Twitter done exactly?

It took then that long to make it profitable. Big difference making something and making it profitable.

‘Human approved’ would be better than AI assisted.

Zenject Dependency Injection for Unity has been an absolute game changer for me. It’s wonderful to be less reliant on the Editor. Picking up old projects is quick because there’s an easy to follow structure.

In summary privatisation has lead to a serious lack of funding for development and repairs. So now England’s rivers are filling up with shit.

I’d love to drop them, but they’re industry standard. Good open source alternatives such as Gimp are somewhat lacking the AI features. Which have most likely been trained illegally!

Unfortunately, none of the sample videos loaded for me. I’m really excited about having text to 3D. It’ll massively speed up game dev for me.

Anything World has rigs and procedurally animates 3D objects. But isn’t true text to 3D in that it needs to have the 3D model in its catalogue.

Every year my family plays Scrabble on Christmas Day. The score book goes back about a decade. Until 2016 my sister was ruling champion.

Enough was enough. I installed a Scrabble game on my phone. Played every day and took the crown at our next Christmas Scrabble game. The win thoroughly surprised everyone.

That year I had read Carol Dweck’s Growth Mindset. Which the Scrabble win nicely illustrated.

Even knowing the risk, I’m amazed at how many it hasn’t stopped. Mind you, millions of people still smoke.

Thank goodness, it is a terribly annoying pop up that reminded me of surfing the net a decade ago. What is Google thinking? Thanks to DuckDuckGo for a great upgrade.

Long time user. It’s so fast and fantastic to have full control.

There’s a lot of pixelated photos and documents on the net just waiting to be viewed with a fresh light.

I hope you had the a damn fine Black Friday. If you went crazy with the purchases, please consider offsetting your impulse buys with something positive for the environment.

Here's a mini project I made with friends using three.js.

Seeing the demo has peaked my interest to try it again. The learning curve I found too extreme last time. Mainly due to not being able to quickly understand what a text symbol was. The colours and graphics will certainly help me.

More than anything I've really enjoyed really people's stories from the game.

Took me a minute to realise this is a Mario Kart reference.

There was a time when I was burning the candle at both ends. For some relief I would regularly go and see a Chinese doctor for massage therapies, but they would do a health check that included looking at my tongue. During this time from stress and lack of sleep my tongue was unusually white. The doctor said if I kept my life style I would have a stroke.

I listened to the advice and made big life changes. A friend of mine in a similar job sadly didn't receive the same advice and had a stroke.

Fixing bad sleep forces you to fix habitual bad patterns. Which in effect helps restore health and ingrain healthy life patterns

An intrim update to Copilot could link to where the code as pulled from. Or maybe there's a way for open source devs to add a comment to the code that links to their community/repo. If it was standardised then any data gathering would need to follow the collection rule.

I agree with the article's long term outlook about community and code quality, it is a very long term outlook though. It makes me wonder if humans will actually be writing code.

Thanks to this comment I searched for QuickBooks and Equifax. QuickBooks signed up their customers to automatically to share data with Equifax:
