This makes me wonder so hard why people don’t switch to Mastodon instead. Like… You have literally seen this before! Why are you doing it again?

it still has a long way to go before it starts replacing LCDs and OLEDs.

I really don’t think it’s even trying to fill the same niche. No eReader is attempting to sell you Netflix. It’s just an entirely different device.

Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10.

It’s all about Windows as a service

Windows isn’t dead, but the idea of version numbers could be

Recent comments at Ignite about Windows 10 are reflective of the way Windows will be delivered as a service bringing new innovations and updates in an ongoing manner, with continuous value for our consumer and business customers

The person I replied to was talking about learning the basics of a language… This isn’t about searching for something specific, this is about reading the very basic introduction to a language before trying to Google your way through it. Avoiding the basic documentation is always a bad idea. Replacing it with the LLMed version of the original documentation probably even more so.

What about just reading the documentation?

Not to be overly pedantic, but changing the order of things in the second part of the sentence is really throwing me off by suggesting that donuts are fermented and that there’s a beer with fried dough as an ingredient somewhere.

You did not make fun of my typo? Believe it or not, also ban.

Obviously. Stupid sexy Finns.

systemd gets stuck because it’s trying to mount two separate partitions to the same mount point

Uh… Sounds like it’s not really systemd’s fault, your setup is just terrible.

I’ve tried fixing it, but all I did was break it more.

If you’re unable to fix it, maybe get somebody else? Like, this doesn’t sound like it’s an unfixable issue…

I once heard a cook say that cooks who use salt mills aren’t cooks.

I’m really tempted to say the same thing about programmers that use llms to code.

It doesn’t give anyone access to your system or forward information from your system to outsiders, so no.

How is Spotify supposed to “handle” anything here if the rights owner tells them that this is how it works? Like, not only didn’t the first rights owner give them any means to stay updated with the rights, the new rights owner didn’t notify them either that any rights were transferred to them before taking them to court. The only way to properly handle this would have been to tell them to get fucked, but that’s not really an alternative if we’re talking about the streaming rights for Eminem. This all seems like a setup to sue them… But who am I to tell? I’m just a jerk who read an article online. You know who should decide whether or not this was a scheme to drag Spotify to court? A judge.

Oh, wait, they did. Guess it’s decided, then.

To get to it click the 3 lines or ‘more’, then find ‘feeds’ and select that

Oh, wow… I recently opened fb again and was just irritated that it didn’t show any posts by my friends. Turns out they weren’t inactive, fb just doesn’t show them by default. What a dumb waste of a platform… I mean, what is it good for if not that? Why would I watch an endless stream of ads and clickbait?

That list issue you mentioned really confused me, so here’s what’s in the article about it:

The judge also noted that Spotify’s agreement with Kobalt did not include a database of the songs it could, and could not, stream.

“Kobalt’s primary stated reason for that approach is that the catalogue of a large administrator like Kobalt would be routinely changing, rendering any list almost immediately out of date,” she wrote.

So…

• It’s not Spotify who’s behaving weirdly here but the rights holder and
• the judge doesn’t just seem to be okay with it, but this is mentioned as another thing that added to the impression that the rights holder made it deliberately hard for Spotify to properly determine if it had the rights to stream a song.

Another point (which is a result of not refreshing the screen) which the article misses is power consumption. I can use my reader for several weeks without recharging.

What if I like both?

And could I register as a member of a sub-belief? Like, I’m a true believer of the unified collective of the Borg?

At least Spotify has a built in button to just select one of their speakers, so you can use that one to bypass their shitty app.

That said, I don’t think you can select multiple speakers, which kind of defeats the purpose of a multi room sound system. So yeah, I haven’t uninstalled their app and get annoyed as fuck every time I have to use it.

You were smoking at 15?
