beeboobaa··on USB hubs, printers, Java, and more seemingly broken by macOS 14.4 update
Plenty of java software is used by regular users. Minecraft is incredibly popular and one of the few games that (used to) run natively on mac.

So? The users paid for a machine that is supposed to "just work"
beeboobaa··on macOS 14.4 causes JVM crashes
If something works on OS release version 1 then it should still work on OS release version 2.

Or in apple vernacular, it should just work.

beeboobaa··on Anatomy of a MapServer: how to leverage and visualize your geographical data
PMTiles is great for a static background. You can easily do a layer on top with geojson like you say, or even just by storing your own data in postgres and using postgis ST_AsMVT to turn it into a vector tile layer. Stick a cachebuster in the URL & a http cache in front and you can call it a day.

Correct, we don't have AI yet.
beeboobaa··on Prostate cancer includes two different evotypes
AI has always meant Artificial Intelligence. Intelligent and capable of learning, like a person.

LLMs are not AI.

That would be up to the User Agent (the browser), not the website.

> Proper support on all platforms. No point working on PWAs that have janky tooling (reason: see previous sentence) when they're only going to work decently on Android devices anyway.

If you need it spelled out for you:

* WebUSB

* WebBLE

* WebSerial

* WebGL

* Many more standards Apple refuses to implement because it would let developers break free of their walled garden

Without being able to target apple devices why would I, or anyone, bother using these technologies and invest in their tooling? Just make a native android app with quality tooling that's been around for a decade and be done with it.

beeboobaa··on Epic says Apple will reinstate developer account
Try reading my post again, maybe? The tooling is pretty janky because no one does this yet. No point to torture yourself with janky tooling when you only get to target android anyway...

It shouldn't be a problem if you only train on legally acquired data. You will know the authors name and can contact them if you so wish.

Proper support on all platforms. No point working on PWAs that have janky tooling (reason: see previous sentence) when they're only going to work decently on Android devices anyway.

beeboobaa··on How to become a pirate archivist (2022)
> It seems like bigcorps are definitely still fighting against piracy

Microsoft with OpenAI is leading the race, but all of the AI orgs are basically just laundering copyrighted material they do not have the rights to.

beeboobaa··on How to become a pirate archivist (2022)
The thing is that countless of lives have been ruined by bigcorps for doing "piracy".

But now the bigcorps see it as a way to gain more money and control over other's lifes, so suddenly doing piracy is totally fine and for the greater good!

The worst part is that these individuals whose lives have been ruined weren't even harming anyone. Their operations were on such a small scale that it barely had any impact.

But these bigcorps are looking to reshape society, destroy many jobs and industries, rewrite social contracts, and it's all just hunky dory.

It is legal for me to make a copy of any copyright protected media using hardware that I own. It is not legal for me to share this copy with others.

Yes, we did. Any other questions?
