OpenOffice has largely been replaced by LibreOffice. It's a perfectly fine office suite, but the draw of Office 365 and Google Docs aren't the document editors themselves, it's that you get E-Mail, chat, file storage and PIM in the cloud with it.

The alternative isn't just LibreOffice, it's LibreOffice + Postfix + ejabberd + Samba + Apache + Radicale, which you all have to put on a server somewhere and set up individually.

An animator used the voice cloning tech to make a "leaked episode" of a cartoon that ended years ago: https://youtu.be/shp9jzJ4MOw

It's funny how both that and this used "low sound quality" to mask the imperfections in the cloned voice. But I suppose it's only a matter of time before that's no longer necessary.

This site has exactly what the article suggests. You can select the "showdead" option in your profile to see posts that have been removed.

Type a lone “> You” in “Story” mode and it will generate an action for you.

NovelAI[1] just gives you a big text box to type in, so you don't have to do any input hacks.

It's easy to install unsigned apps on Android, but not being on the Play Store severely limits your reach, since many people only check there for apps instead of searching on the open web.

Looks like it uploads the results to Google Cloud Storage. If you want to stay filterless, I'm not sure if that's the best choice.

This is something else:

    While Fleet is a new product representing our attempt to rebuild the entire IDE from scratch, the new UI is a redesign of the existing JetBrains IDE product line.

An army marches on its stomach. Without a standards organisation to ensure high-quality peanut butter, the nation will slowly fall to ruin!

I found it pretty funny, as if Jogan was making the joke that ‘the Newton was so bad that you must've been on drugs while you made it’.

There are replacements for steamapi.dll that let you play games without needing to have Steam open (e.g. "Goldberg"). These are sometimes called 'Steam Emulators'.

I looked up the story behind the "Bluets and Granola Bars" easter egg. Apparently, the System Error Handler, part of the boot ROM, used to display a popup that said "Welcome to Macintosh" at startup, before the operating system loaded. However, in System 7.6, this was replaced by a new splash screen with the Mac OS logo, and the old "Welcome to Macintosh" message in the system resource file was replaced with the Granola message (probably under the assumption that it would never be shown). However, if the operating system fails to suppress the boot ROM's popup for whatever reason, the Granola message shows through.

Skype has always had a Linux client. It was a nice Qt app that looked like the old Windows client. Unfortunately, it was replaced with an Electron app in 2017.

Yeees, Bluey is lovely! I refused to watch it at first because of the square dogs, but I'm glad I caved in. Similar articles came out about that show, worth a listen.[1]

And really, the Australian pronunciation of "cache" (like 'keish') is downright superior.

I'd be a bit careful with that: https://www.wsj.com/articles/peppa-pig-a-pandemic-favorite-h...

Nah. It's in the Fortiguard category "Newly Observed Domain". So, it hasn't been classified yet, and that person's corporate filter was setup to block those pages.

I really do miss the alliteration-based naming scheme ("attitude adjustment", "barrier breaker", "chaos calmer"...) they had before the LEDE merge.

In Paris, they had machines with a large vertical bar that you could roll to make a selection[1]. I found them much more comfortable to use than the newer(?) machines with a touch screen.

I'm not sure if the kana-only view is very useful, since the kanji view already has full yomigana. Maybe have a button to toggle furigana instead?

You can also watch this on their own website if you don't want to deal with YouTube: https://media.ccc.de/v/rc3-525180-what_have_we_lost

I think that there is less traffic in Africa, and therefore, there is less chance of a dangerous collision.

Looks like they have lower fees than their main competitor Gumroad[1], but they don't allow adult content[2].

There's 15.000 computers in the Bitcoin swarm right now, and I bet there's many more that have it downloaded that aren't running the client right now. I doubt the blockchain itself needs an archiving effort any time soon.

Wasn't that the whole idea? “GitHub: Social Coding”.

Now just add an IRC client, and they've reinvented the Mozilla suite.

This is the "Extendable Read-Only File System", so it will be used for the read-only system partitions. The user data partition will still use ext4 or f2fs.

If the model is used to generate offensive imagery, it may result in a negative press response directed at the company.

Take a picture of your face, set it as your background in OBS, and stream that. It's much more convenient, because you only have to make sure your camera works well once, instead of for every meeting.

Is that really a problem? Oddly pronounced English is the official language of the EU :-)

Aside from echo, the commands taught weren't builtins. If you want to be nitpicky, you could call them ‘coreutils commands’.

That's not the issue. You can already download weights of other models through BitTorrent or from large archive sites like Hugging Face or the-eye. OpenAI just doesn't want to release them, so that they can sell access to it through their cloud service.
