No, it's completely insane that pressing a joystick button can remove the screen lock and this isn't seen as a security issue.

For example in Windows, the screen lock can't be removed without the user authenticating.

Closed wontfix. According to the GNOME dev, unlocking your screensaver by pressing a joystick button is not a security issue.

Unfair? Eh.

That doesn't sound very useful to me. You can just ask the person playing, or enjoy the ephemeral moment in ignorance. If it's really important you can record it and then find out later what it was.

Also that feature seems to be a good fit for phones. I don't think it would be useful on a laptop or desktop PC.

Your AI PC will perform local analysis of your data and what you're doing, to save the NSA money from having to upload it to their datacenter and do it themselves.

I subscribed due to the HN and reddit hype but I don't get it. Claude still easily makes stuff up, like below. For reference both ChatGPT4 and Mistral (free) got it right. I'll probably cancel after one month because this doesn't seem useful compared to ChatGPT.

User: does the maps.google.com site use one of the big javascript frameworks?

Claude Opus: Yes, the Google Maps website (maps.google.com) uses a JavaScript framework developed by Google called Angular.

Angular is a popular open-source web application framework maintained by Google. It allows developers to build complex, single-page applications with features like two-way data binding, dependency injection, and a powerful template syntax.

Google Maps relies heavily on JavaScript and Angular to provide its interactive mapping features, real-time updates, and smooth user experience. Angular enables Google Maps to efficiently render map tiles, handle user interactions, and dynamically update the map content without refreshing the entire page.

It's worth noting that Google Maps also utilizes various other technologies and libraries alongside Angular, such as HTML, CSS, and the Google Maps JavaScript API, to create the full functionality of the mapping platform.

Or the company is lying. It's not like anyone can check.

He wouldn't be interested. He has a car company so he's only interested in sabotaging public transport.

They already tried with the Web Integrity Environment, but it wasn't very popular.

I wonder why...

It's written by Laura He, and if you click through to her bio it says she's based in Hong Kong.

You can switch workspaces by scrolling on the i3 bar. That's probably the easiest way.

Tech companies will probably win. Copyright law is usually deployed to keep little people in line, and there's no danger of them being able to train SOTA AI models.

We're going to be in an awkward situation where pirating can net you a $150000 per mp3 fine but big companies can train on the said mp3s and produce a nearly identical product for you.

But that's why we have a giant police and propaganda machine.

That's literally "most"

And why is The Guardian writing puff pieces for a secretive spying agency at all? Aren't they the natural predators of journalists?

"Our values" of gushing for spooks?

I don't think that quote demonstrates any of the things you say.

This type of comment just seems totally unreal to me to the point where it's making me angry.

I have a laptop with a nvidia card and nothing works. From the installers crashing, windows freezing, full desktop freezes, awful performance, awful battery life under Wayland, every glitch under the sun from minor lines appearing on the screen to potentially physically damaging glitches like rapid flickering, and every other issue you could possibly imagine: it happened.

I mean it happened in like the week total combined that I was testing GNOME/KDE. Probably if I spent any more time on it my computer would explode?

Meanwhile X11 with i3 just fucking rocks. Smooth and stable like nothing else.

If you know what you want then most sites will have filters to narrow down the choices very quickly. If you don't know what you want and nobody told you what you need then any model is probably fine.

I don't get it. What's so great about Apple's lack of choice?

No, it's not accurate at all. Have you ever used it? Missing or additional fingers, limbs, reflections, mangled text, etc are very common.

Regardless of the prompt, it's just kind of shit.

And we don't know why the prompt is there. Maybe without it, the results are even worse.

So in other words it's not accurate?

Image gen isn't very accurate/knowledgeable. Don't we all know this?

A bicycle manufacturer isn't evil because the bike you bought can't fly. You just have unreasonable expectations.

How else can we filter TCP/IP except by IP??

Maybe this kind of origin laundering that cloudflare and cloud providers do shouldn't be allowed.

Huawei Matebook X pro has been 3:2 since 2018

Shitty sci-fi movies where the producer wants to show both the screen and the actor's face at the same time.

I can understand that although Windows has gotten so bad, it's really better to have a whole separate machine just for gaming.

Thankfully that's easier than ever- these days you can buy a cheap AMD NUC-like that will play most games.

So you run Windows, a shitty malware OS, and in it you run Ubuntu, a good OS, in a virtual machine, and this makes Windows good?

Why bother with Windows? It's slow, bloated, compromised garbage.

Eh, if you're going to be using it as a text editor for 8 hours a day, you can take 2 minutes to install a package, surely.

Emacs has by far the best the best 'file switching experience' I've ever seen with treemacs, which is a sidebar with multiple projects, each with its file tree. Projects are part of workspaces which you can switch between. The whole thing can be configured with right click menus, or by editing an org file.

Additionally it has not one but two tab modes built-in (tab-line-mode, tab-bar-mode)

The giant western security state is not amenable to democratic change. The media keeps us apathetic and helpless, and candidates that would meaningfully change anything aren't allowed to run. People who try to get around this "soft power" are jailed, killed or exiled.

What's bad about it? What if a real warhead gave bad data to the computer?

The ChatGPT web interface is so awful. Why don't they fix it??

It's sooooo slow and sluggish, it breaks constantly, it requires frequent full page reloads, sometimes it just eats inputs, there's no search, not even over titles, etc, I could go on for a while.
