It is at least compressed to make the most of the limit

Not forgotten by any means but goaccess is nice and simple to use

This always completely blows my mind. I just can’t fathom how he was able to do that. Brilliant game.

I made a thing which is pretty close to what you're after: https://dailyalbum.art

It picks 12 random albums every day. It's picking from a number of curated "best of" lists (Rolling Stone, Mercury Prize nominess, Rough Trade, etc.) so there's often a mix of familiar and unfamiliar options

On the Linus point, I'd bet there were countless months where he was bringing ideas together in his head and planning how he'd do it before actually finding the time to sit down and write it.

Not just malice, profit too

That's true and doesn't detract from it being a waste of talent

Thank you — was looking for a visual

Sounds inspired by Huxley’s Island.

There was a programme the other day about this on BBC Radio 4. Unless they’ve resolved the problem already, it will refuse to describe any scene with faces in it, for privacy reasons. Which obviously rules out a lot of useful use-cases. You’re in a cafe wondering what’s going on, Be My AI can’t help if there’s a face. I think it was related to some EU legislation which Be My Eyes are now at least trying to change for this use-case. I wish them the best of luck.

It’s more like Ed Sheeran giving away free copies of his album rather than free live performances.

Would love some stats in the near future of whether Google et al. are using these lists (blocked, lowered, raised, pinned) to their advantage somehow. Having said that, they have the data themselves, they just choose not to use it because it’s not in their best interests.. https://kagi.com/stats?stat=leaderboard&k=1

Controversy ahead, I'm open to discussion.

This is obvious and egregious animal abuse. What is it that puts our wants above those pigs' right to a peaceful life without growing others' (another species'!) organs in their bodies. Presumably to be slaughtered once our organs have developed enough to be harvested? What gives us the right to even attempt that procedure on another living being?

This reminds me of Jef Raskin’s humane interface: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Humane_Interface

Edit: more specifically, Archy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archy_(software) which has its roots in the “Zoomable user interfaces in scaleable vector graphics” paper (which I can’t find a working link for right now)

Big firefox fan here and it's kinda sad to read that

There is certainly a beauty in those remnants being left behind.

Yes, the place would look objectively tidier without them. But, given the context of what they used to be, I would enjoy the daily reminder that there used to be ads and now they're gone

To open a new finder window in the current directory in a terminal:

Did you actually try it?

It sounds like you did, because you’ve given a car and skateboard example, which do appear in the exercise.

But it sounds like you didn’t because you’ve given such an authoritative answer when the whole point of the exercise is that “it’s complicated”. There is no One True Answer, it’s open to interpretation, that’s the complexity it demonstrates.

The upscaled Mickey Mouse image does look "better" to my eyes, but the other 3 examples on the homepage, particularly Machu Pichu, look worse. The original owl on grass looks like a composite image, so it's difficult to discern what to even expect as "better".

> "it's free and open information built by the community, but when something disrupts our ads-driven business model and we make it unfree"

I feel the same, that it would be much better today if that was the agreement we all entered into. (Though, I doubt anyone would have read it anyway so I’m not sure it would have made any difference.)

But it seems that no-one saw this disruption coming, so it wasn’t possible to plan ahead for this outcome. Call it complacency, call it ignorance, it’s too late to plan now, so we get this kind of reaction instead

Not an expert but, yes.

The purpose of introducing this kind of law is to continue to expand the legal recognition of what we now consider to be ethical, based on our continually expanding understanding of the world.

The cows aren’t in a position to protest in some animal rights movement, so some interested (and compassionate) humans are working on their behalf.

I haven't really looked into the plugins but surely if they can find the "accept tracking" button, they could also find the "no thanks" button instead

Been using it for years and watching others’ machines for how tracked they are across the web is terrifying. Even things as basic as being on clothingshop.com and then seeing ads for said shop on someotherdomain.com, which I understand is totally normal, has become jarring for me. I recommend everyone installs it. Yes, you have to click more cookie banners, and I still say no, but mind less when I cave and say yes because what they’ll learn is so limited. My temporary containers have a persistent auto increment so after a few years it’s (semi-) interesting to see that I’m on my ~20,000th temporary container

I don't think it's too cynical to say that business models (i.e. targetted advertising) of the Psions of today just don't fit with this kind of device. I never owned one but I remember ogling them and their high prices (to a 10 year old) in the Argos catalogue. Looking back on them now, the joy seems to be in how they strike what seems to be the perfect balance of dis/connectedness.

Don’t you think it’s too much of a compromise for those people to be abused by the corporations with the deepest pockets in exchange?

This is it. This is our new dystopia

That does sound simple, but is not the process the macports docs suggest.
