> I get the impression this person is using RSS reader wrong. Or is there really a culture of people you are using RSS like a youtube-channel, consuming everything from beginning to end? For me the purpose of RSS is to get the newest headlines, choose the interesting articles and skip the rest. This means there is a limited list of items to check each day, and a finishing line.

Why would the author's use be the wrong one? And why should YouTube be different, in principle? (Maybe you are using YouTube wrong...)

I think at some point there was a shift in the way we consume online content, from "I'll read whatever is up now" to "I have my list of things to catch up with". RSS is older, so it is natural to connect it with the older way of consuming content. But there is no reason we can't do the same with YouTube channels, for example.

Ah yes that must be perfectly legal and a sign of a healthy democracy.

> Child porn?

This, the article says so in the first paragraph. The bullshit justification hasn't change in the last couple of years afaik.

If by "democratic values" you mean US and Canadian law, they don't.

Don't you also need to buy a Macbook? That is quite expensive. I guess in Apple's view also developping on a non-Apple device is a security risk.

Daily reminder that no law requires websites to show popups. They could simply stop tracking users. Your website will still work, trust me!

KDE, not sure what version the kernel and the drivers are, whatever Debian stable has. I think kernel is 6.12.

I'll try updating the firmware and drivers manually if I have more issues in the future, thanks.

The Steam main window did not open, although Steam itself did load in the background. I could work around this by disabling smooth scrolling on web view and some other GPU-related option (I forgot exactly).

But then there was a strange glitch on every single game (both native and Proton-based). Periodically (e.g. every ~10 seconds on some 3D games, on every screen reload on some other) the screen turned black for about 2 seconds.

Then I remembered that I had some issue when I first installed Debian 12 two years, though I forgot which issues exactly, and that I solved them by switching from Wayland to X11.

No, AMD. I had issues on the latest Debian, released this summer, with KDE. X11 works perfectly fine. I would be happy with wayland too, if it worked. And in fact I use it on my other device.

For me it's the exact opposite, I had problems with Steam games on Wayland and I switched back to X11.

> It is a subsystem of Windows after all, not a subsystem of Linux.

Sure, but it is a Linux system.

It's kind of like saying Edge is a "Windows subsystem for the browser".

> Well, you see it hallucinates on long precise strings

But all code is "long precise strings".

> who are the people who are trying to make a bare bones web page but just struggling with `max-width`

Anyone making a personal website?

Who needs a brand when you have a monopoly?

> maybe Microsoft will realize very important parts of Windows are going downhill and remember what made Windows great.

What made Windows great were the contracts with hardware manufacturers to have it installed by default on every single PC ever sold.

> Faroe's name comes from a combination of fær (sheep) and eyjar (islands).

I have always thought it came from "fjær" (far). According to Wikipedia it is debated, and it may even come from "fara" (to travel).

> I want the author's opinion on how caplital and lowercase letters should be sorted. Do they follow strict ASCII/Unicode codepoints, or do they normalize into actual alphabetical order and sort upper/lower within each letter?

I prefer the strict ASCII / Unicode sorting (all capitals first, then all lowercase).

> And they choose the interpretation that (per their reasoning, and possibly some actual data) seems most likely to correspond to what the user wants.

Yes, that make sense, but the problem is that this interpretation changed in the last 10 (15? 20?) years. It used to be that "by name" meant "by name, il alphabetical / lexicographical order" in pretty much every file manager.

Author here - I Agree both with you and with the parent's comment. Having two options in the "sort by menu" - like "Name (natural)" and "Name (strict)" or something - would have solved everything.

Author here - My surprise stems exactly from the fact that for the last few years I have exclusively managed my files via a the UNIX shell, which behaves in the classical way.

I thought this was going to be a post about Tuz, the tasmanian devil wit a penguin mask: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tux_(mascot)#Tuz_2009

What I get from this is that anti-monopoly rules are disrupting Apple's business model. That's great!

Works fine for me (Firefox on Android)

> At this point, it seems clear to me we’ve just poorly designed our function. It solely exists to clamp numbers, so why would we accept strings?

To me it sounds like you are using a poorly-designed language

> “It turns out the most predictive out of all the factors we measured was how quickly gamers could mentally rotate things and overcome the Simon effect. The faster they were, the less likely they were to invert. People who said they sometimes inverted were by far the slowest on these tasks.” So does this mean non-inverters are better gamers? No, says Corbett. “Though they tended to be faster, they didn’t get the correct answer more than inverters who were actually slightly more accurate.”

> In short, gamers think they are an inverter or a non-inverter because of how they were first exposed to game controls. Someone who played a lot of flight sims in the 1980s may have unconsciously taught themselves to invert and now they consider that their innate preference; alternatively a gamer who grew up in the 2000s, when non-inverted controls became prevalent may think they are naturally a non-inverter. However, cognitive tests suggest otherwise. It’s much more likely that you invert or don’t invert due to how your brain perceives objects in 3D space.

Or maybe it is the opposite: playing frequently with (non-)inverted controls makes you better at the kind of games they made the subjects play in this test. This article does a very poor job convincing me that their thesis is correct.

My personal experience is that I never played a 3D game with a controller until a couple of years ago (I am 31). Always keyboars and mouse now. When I started, my girlfriend asked me if I preferred normal controls. I was equally terrible with either, so we stuck to whatever she prefers (both axes inverted). I have a very hard time believing that this is not just a matter of practice.

Right, I never mentioned that I am a decently experienced C developer, so of course I got my fair share of buffer overflows and race conditions :)

I have also learned some Rust recently, I find a nice language and quite pleasant to work with. I understand its benefits.

But still, Git is already a mature tool (one may say "finished"). Lots of bugs have been found and fixed. And if more are found, sure it will be easier to fix them in the C code, rather than rewriting in Rust? Unless the end goal is to rewrite the whole thing in Rust piece by piece, solving hidden memory bugs along the way.

I honestly can't tell if this is meant as serious reply to my question (in that case: let's say I agree that Rust is 100% better than C; my question still stands) or as a way to mock Rust people's eagerness to rewrite everything in Rust (in that case: are you sure this is the reason behind this? They are not rewriting Git from scratch...)

I am curious, what is the reason behind introducing Rust in Git?

I am not familiar with Git development, I am just a user. But my impression is that it is already a complete tool that won't require much new code to be written. Fixes and improvements here and there, sure, but that does not seem like a good reason to start using a new language. In contrast, I understand why adding it to e.g. Linux development makes sense, since new drivers will always need to be written.

Can anyone explain what I might be missing?

If it is printed on the bill it is not a tip. You must be talking about "coperto", i.e. servics costs. This money does goes to the waiter.
