When submitting issues, I live in constant fear of creating duplicates.

Apart from bad quality code, the PR might not fit the vision the owner has in mind for the project. Improvements are subjective.

I’d like to agree, but:

works utilizing creative or imaginative talents

[…]

generally through an expression of emotional power, conceptual ideas, technical proficiency, or beauty.

[…]

There is no generally agreed definition of what constitutes art, and its interpretation has varied greatly throughout history and across cultures.

There is creativity needed to come up with a general idea of what you want to generate. Imagining prompts and workflows is more of a technical requirement than a “creativity” one, but this is part of the definition above. Programming e.g. needs creativity as well, in the form of abstracting real world objects and their behaviour into concepts / a formal language.

Would a caveman consider an oilpainting not to be art just because the tools have changed over time?That being said, generative AI is illegitimately built on top of the output of all humanity. This and the sheer amount of low effort slop out there is probably why people refuse to acknowledge it as “Art”. But there has been art which constitutes a high level of craftsmanship one the one side, and so to speak “sloppy art” on the other before this as well.

It also needs insufferable amounts of energy and most of the infrastructure is in the hands of ~5 big corporations. This may change when the bubble pops and inference hardware gets available comprehensively.

We opened Pandoras box, there is no way back.

I love that the people here take AI slop seriously. It might be a long way from this to shrimp Jesus or whatever else the fuck is going on e.g. at facebook for now, but I’m afraid the ignorance / acceptance as well as the inability to tell the difference will rise gradually.

The next thing will be: I can’t toggle my AC because AWS is down.

I don’t understand the hate for that guy in particular. Not judging the content, but the stuff he writes is clearly readable. There are definitely worse lunatics around here.

It’s a tale as old as software development itself: Fuck around with your license, find out by getting replaced by a fork.

Although Redis came back and reversed the relicensing one year later lol:

Didn’t know that. I would have guessed the reason is to save battery or stop annoying people when it isn’t within reach / you can’t turn it off.

If OP were interested in learning about tech at the same time, they could research an easy way to call the controller API with a simple button / toggle in a project, possibly writing their own controller-to-vibrator App, e.g. in Godot.

It is indeed a very risky move without a lot to gain for him personally. But I could guess McDonald’s would have forced him to ignore it and shut up about it if he disclosed this to the higher ups himself, in which case I would have gladly left myself instead.

My friend who helped me research the OAuth vulnerabilities was let go for “security concerns from corporate”

Good old shooting the messenger.

Yes, but element selectors based on the tag name alone are considered bad practise. Especially in bigger HTML sites. Even more so if you use a JS library / framework or some broad browser stylesheet underneath, or you use the same stylesheet in several places.

Also, a div or img tag can be a button with its own event listener as well. That may be asking for trouble as well, but I’ve been there (not proud of it).

mstsc.exe was exactly the one I used. I vaguely remember that I had used that successfully some years ago (in a much bigger environment with proper certs) and it worked.

Regarding NLA: I believe that I would have to disable that on purpose no? It was on a very vanilla Windows 11 install. I just looked and regarding any other settings than the ones listed in mstsc.exe, I get told that Windows 11 Home edition doesn’t support RDP lol.

I recently used the old Windows RDP client they refer to. I tried to connect to a Windows VM and it didn’t work. Had to pull out some old log utility tool and filter a while to recognize the server didn’t use a valid TLS certificate (lives inside a VPN) and the handshake failed. Tried disabling cert validation (although I’m not sure if that one obfuscated option did exactly that), still no luck.

I then tried KRDP in KDE. It asked me if I’m sure I wanted to connect since the cert is self signed. It even showed me the cert info and I know the issuer in person. I accepted and got in. Easy as that.

I’ve heard maintainers getting spammed with AI generated Issues and stuff. This is just a stupid meme from some weeks ago, trying to merge some Anime ASCII Art into the Kernal Panic log message, because the kernel should be more weeb-friendly.

You’re right, Linux Kernel development happens on an own cgit instance. Given how much Linus loves distraction, he’d be better off by not looking into Github at all.

Just called it the other day, it’s a reality TV show. That’s why they acquire all the media outlets, the viewer rates are insane.

You are right, but I highly doubt that he cares enough considering the quote I posted earlier. He probably also has a shitload of staff around him telling him what to do, whose life also depend on him complying.

Also, Musk bought Twitter to influence the outcome of elections, not for being a petty child that doesn’t want to be insulted online. Well, maybe, but that’s not the whole story here.

He wrote it in a book (or his writer lol), shortly before he got elected, about a year ago. Look for “Trump Zuckerberg jail threat”, I don’t know which source to cite here.
