wow, amen.

This cuts both ways though.

If you are paying for a subscription then hopefully you do it to support the publication and find their work useful, and not because of a nag banner.

>I've emailed the sites I've found where this works

Why?

neoromantique··on Apple Entertainment Services are slow or down
I've spent good 20 minutes trying to get it to work with me and my wife, but we both sent each other 'invites' that never arrived and it stayed like so since.

We both are in "family" too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm sorry to be THAT GUY, but it is addressed in the article :)

>GPT embeddings

To index these stories, I loaded up to 2000 tokens worth of comment text (ordered by score, max 2000 characters per comment) and the title of the article for each story and sent them to OpenAI's embedding endpoint, using the standard text-embedding-ada-002 model, this endpoint accepts bulk uploads and is fast but all 160k+ documents still took over two hours to create embeddings. Total cost for this part was around $70.

neoromantique··on Linux 6.2: The first mainstream Linux kernel for Apple M1 chips arrives
Yes, that's default mode of installation for asahi
neoromantique··on Linux 6.2: The first mainstream Linux kernel for Apple M1 chips arrives
just my 2cents, I have moved back to MacOS once M1 macs were released and have been using macbook air with m1 as my daily driver device ever since.

I wasn't really having any problems per se, window management on macos is a bit lacking and I'm not fond of the forced animations everywhere, but overall I was pretty happy with how everything functions.

Until few weeks ago I had free time and an adventurous mood to try out the Asahi (It's really painless to do so), and the moment I git clone'd my dotfiles and logged into my old i3 configuration I was very astounded by the sheer snappiness of everything, fingers remember all the shortcuts and all of the workspace switching is /instant/. That's something I have tried to replicate on MacOS multiple times and always failed, yabai and the like are not even close.

I still reboot into macos for when I'm mobile as I don't trust sleep on asahi (I don't think it even works that is), but when I use it at home I am very impressed by how stable and daily drive-able it is if current (admittedly, significant) compromises work for you.

neoromantique··on So what’s next (personal news from developer of popular CoreJS polyfill)
Yeah, he is against war and government because it affects his personal income and wellbeing, not because of tens of thousands of civilians killed.
neoromantique··on Shoichiro Toyoda, who turned Toyota into global automaker, has died
There is a reason why Toyota separated their luxury segment into a different brand.

neoromantique··on Shoichiro Toyoda, who turned Toyota into global automaker, has died
Are there though? Toyota is never perceived as a luxury brand, it is associated with quality, reliability and maintainability.

Something that you can hardly say about Apple.

neoromantique··on Cloudflare mitigates record-breaking 71M request-per-second DDoS attack
>Wouldn't it be nice if all the ISPs got together and refused to route traffic from networks that ignored abuse complaints?

Jesus, this reads like a prequel to Black Mirror episode.

No.
neoromantique··on Matrix 2.0: How we’re making Matrix go voom
>Out of curiosity since I have never used Matrix, how many clients can one node/server simultaneously support approximately?

Sorry, I don't know if I'm being honest :) The one I run is used by just few people. Matrix isn't so "internal community" focused like Mastodon in its federation.

>Well sorry for being an individual

That's rich.

>this is you grinding your teeth over the fact that some people may discuss points you don't like.

This is me stating directly that you are a bad person for consistently spreading the Russian propaganda(https://www.martenscentre.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/russ...), I don't know why you are trying to paint it as some sort of "gotcha".

neoromantique··on NameCheap's email hacked to send Metamask, DHL phishing emails
I am saying that being mad or surprised over a company with significant employee base in Kharkiv not wishing to conduct any business with Russian (Located in Russia, not tested by DNA, mind you) customers whilst their city was literally being bombed by Russia is very tone deaf.

And /on top of that/, the fact that almost a whole year of war later you spread Russian propaganda about "we don't know the whole truth, think about what US did in 'nam!", is just cherry on the cake.

neoromantique··on Matrix 2.0: How we’re making Matrix go voom
Thank you for the links, I prefer to use Matrix(Element on mobile and gomuks in cli on workstations), I also use weechat for certain networks that don't allow bridging with matrix, I also bridge slack into same weechat.

But this doesn't change the fact that irc is obscure minority now, no matter how many shiny web interfaces we put on top of it, so embracing the actually open platform that has a chance of gaining any traction is a no-brainer.

neoromantique··on Matrix 2.0: How we’re making Matrix go voom
Nothing wrong with that, hooray for open standards that welcome bridging and interconnectivity (I'm looking at you, Discord).

But you have to admit, irc is a tiny tiny part of IM usage popularity wise, and it's not for no reason.

neoromantique··on Matrix 2.0: How we’re making Matrix go voom
What stops you from running your own bridge?
neoromantique··on Matrix 2.0: How we’re making Matrix go voom
The world has moved beyond where just text is sufficient, IRC as a protocol is no longer relevant, sad but true.

And I say that as a regular on multiple IRC networks, some through Matrix bridge.

neoromantique··on Matrix 2.0: How we’re making Matrix go voom
IRC is nice, but it is very bare. I would somewhat understand if you mentioned Jabber, but even then Matrix is a superior choice these days.
neoromantique··on Debian Privacy Issues
It sure is a good way to communicate that you don't care about my privacy and should not be getting my money ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
neoromantique··on Debian Privacy Issues
I am saying that you in this particular instance are not asking those questions in good faith.

>Running a service that might serve an EU citizen quickly escalates to involving lawyers and performing risk analysis in relation to being sued in a court across the ocean.

Running any service where you are not sure of legal requirements might require consulting a lawyer first, how is it unique to GDPR? And in order to be on the radar for GDPR violations as a small business you REALLY need to do something seriously wrong.

neoromantique··on Debian Privacy Issues
Those questions are not in good faith, and answers are readily available and have been for a long time. e.g https://law.stackexchange.com/a/28609
neoromantique··on Debian Privacy Issues
This is quite a leap from unnecessary phone home request to check version, but alas it already has been answered in depth in other comments.

>Gandi seems to be a solid provider that's maintained its good reputation for a long while.

Apart from that time when they lost users data AND backups. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22001822

(Though I am still using gandi, can't fault them otherwise).

It doesn't cost you anything to not collect my PII.
neoromantique··on Debian Privacy Issues
No, the "small guy" should not be entitled to violate privacy and rights of EU citizens (or any people, for that matter), just because US doesn't grant same protections.
