maxlin··on XCancel service is suspended until further notice
What did they expect.

Just use the site, people

maxlin··on XCancel service is suspended until further notice
Or, you know, just be a normal reasonable person and just use X.

We got to get rid of this extremist-esque narrative. X is more unbiased than it has ever been, and Community Notes work better than any other platform's nearest attempts.

maxlin··on CUDA for AMD on Windows
I can only hope NVIDIA won't send an army of lawyers against this.
maxlin··on Why is Google still serving dodgy ads?
Because they get paid and can always wait before banning them without fingers pointing at them too hard.
maxlin··on Nitter has more working instances than before the takedowns
If you have to dig that far, you're not doing very well.

Being truth-seeking means you're willing to be wrong more times than your opponents, which do statements that say nothing instead. He takes an engineering approach to all problems, and yes that sometimes means painful iteration, but at least he has the _chance_ of arriving at truth and right solutions. We owe people that take that brunt this whole world.

Nope, I appreciate being unapologetically right. Instead of lying and causing other harms just to satisfy fee-fees.

That is what happens on the Reddits of the world.

On X though, you can criticize Musk all you want. Hell, I've seen plenty of death threats, those deserve to be reported though. There's plenty of leftists on there, it's a true town square.

maxlin··on Nitter has more working instances than before the takedowns
Yes, that is what the guide is for, that is what I was pointing out?

Wouldn't be surprised if some legal pressure wouldn't shut down these kinds of activities which involve furthering profit-gaining from going around platform limits

maxlin··on google.com/goto: Google's anti-scraping update
Oh that shorthand is fun. Curious it works at all.

But yeah I'd switch to Kagi if I had any more forcing function. Maybe without LLM's but google continously getting worse, that'd been the actual thing for me

Publicly suggesting using a shady service to buy masses of accounts instead of just using the damn service. Mental
maxlin··on Nitter has more working instances than before the takedowns
This. A good platform isn't about just having people you like on and creating an echo chamber through speech controls. Places that are like that feel downright dystopian.

It's not him who's wrecked. It's just some poor souls who cant't stand how right he is while he expresses that with autistic crudeness.

Musk is the same guy he was 10 years ago, still working his ass off on visionary projects, beating rest of the world on those fronts. And we love him for that!

maxlin··on Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
That's just stupid speculation.

Overly active analytics / tracing stuff is not uncommon during dev. Likely they just did it to be able to debug things better in the weirdest cases; doing a full session replay basically when you have the whole original state of the repo

maxlin··on Java is memory efficient [audio]
Drift cars make efficient use of the whole width of the road, too.
maxlin··on Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
There's a way to have 1000 poor decisions with your arch sure. I use Omarchy to avoid just that.

Then it's not for you, or you can't vision how 5 minutes of learning can save you hours of future time.

Having to know like 5 keybinds and no taskbar is absolutely the point and it's a beautiful concept of how to use your computer. And it works, if you are open to relearning just a bit.

maxlin··on Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
Actually we do. I like pacman for example. And don't mind going thru archinstall for a test install once to learn. But my workstation, I'd not like to have to develop, even if I do like configuring minimal installs for other uses like kiosks.
maxlin··on Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
It might be a mistake but not a serious one, like it's a common setting they had on for convenience of development without being too insecure, but forgot to leave it out of public release.

So there's nothing weird. It being on originally was intentional and not crazy. Only it going all they way wasn't.

maxlin··on Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
I don't see a responsible disclosure timeline, putting doubt on the black/greyhat hacker, but am not surprised this was patched post-haste, unlike some less caring operations.

In any case, another reason to upgrade to Quattro! I just hope my 30€ Chromebook can handle it as well as it handled 3.

maxlin··on Grok Bot for Linux: Unofficial port of the official app (open source)
You are quite far off base. Look up DHH / Omarchy. Writing this running on it ...
maxlin··on Grok Bot for Linux: Unofficial port of the official app (open source)
Nice work! Only having Windows/Mac as official releases is a bit weird choice, unless they have something like this in the works

That's a false premise - scraping itself isn't illegal, and reasonable also it should not be. But having most of the traffic be scrapers that don't behave well and brute force constantly refetch pages unnecessarily and unintelligently is the issue.

So it's just bad behavior requiring reduction of the openness. Like with any open things when people can't behave anymore :(

maxlin··on Nvidia agrees to acquire Hugging Face for $13B
Big Wolf buying the sheep farm. Nice

Blame boundless AI scraping. X would like very much to be more open.

The whole state just multiplied their amount of big dick energy. Crazy good for Louisianans

Many said that about Starlink too. Impossible to send so many rockets up. Till it isn't.

"Quite a few" while you're the woman from if Google Was A Guy with literally one result against an avalanche.

SpaceX makes plumbers millionaires. It's the employer of dreams

maxlin··on Starbase, LA
Pushback? Anyone wishes they lived there now. SpaceX bought out stragglers off Boca Chica for multiple times the value of their homes
maxlin··on There's no reason for software to be slow anymore
It could very well be argued that a move towards more optimized, yet still human-readable languages is appropriate. In a _very_ generic sense, LLM's can pick up the slack of those languages being harder to write, AND hard to debug.

There is less of a need for super convenient, yet bloated languages now. For software that matters, and burns the most joules in the world, I hope we can also spend a few more tokens instead of doing it in interpreted python just because it's a bit easier for the LLM.
