pseudalopex··on What AI did to stackoverflow in a graph
The data showed Stack Overflow declined from 2017. This followed GitHub's rise distantly.

GitHub made documentation more consistent how? GitHub issues were more transparent how? A PR answered a question I would have asked Stack Overflow never I think.

pseudalopex··on No LLM Code in Dependencies
They said the non LLM dependency build was not default and could become untenable.

They said git-annex supports git back to 2.22. Not git after 2.22 was dropped.

An incompatible change in ghc would break compilation of other software also.

Many people in the US do not work for your company.

Federal juror pay is $50 daily.[1] This would be 8 hours or less of minimum wage.[2] States pay from $0 to $50 seemingly.[3]

8 states and 1 district had any employer jury pay law. All other than Nebraska excluded small employers, excluded part time employees, allowed to pay under minimum wage, allowed to pay nothing after 5 days or less, or allowed to force employees to use paid time off.[4]

> ...you can't spread your /home and / partitions on separate disks and use this? In fact, it looks like you can't use this autodetection unless all of the partitions of interest (including your /boot/) are on the same disk? Seriously?

How would it choose from 2 home partitions on other disks?

It was in many cases. But there is a federal law for this now.[1]

You thought WikiMedia Foundation were like a union how?

Linux Foundation are a business league. Many Linux maintainers work for Linux Foundation members.

pseudalopex··on What we call "age verification" is actually mass surveillance
Most non phone computers do not have a SIM. And some countries allow to buy a SIM without identification.
pseudalopex··on What we call "age verification" is actually mass surveillance
You did not know governments demanded records? Or infiltrated networks?

And governments investigated high electricity users as suspected marijuana growers. Would governments ignore high identifier use?

You are?

> This is covered by allowing for single-use credentials.

They said There are proposed mitigations like issuing multiple sets of credentials or rotating them, but we're not going to get an infinite number of keypairs for every website or session in the secure enclave in practice.

> Basically, the wallet requests a batch of single-use eIDs that all use different device key-pairs.

The comments you replied to omitted mass surveillance. But the article and 1st comment included it. The government would know what wallet requested each single use identifier.

pseudalopex··on What we call "age verification" is actually mass surveillance
We discuss age requirements in the physical world not much because the physical world allows age checks without mass surveillance.

pseudalopex··on Wikipedia cofounder Larry Sanger blocked from editing Wikipedia
> I suspect most people who complain about getting stuff reverted on Wikipedia are mostly editing controversial pages.

This could be true. But I saw it in histories of not controversial pages also. Some people feel they own articles they contributed to. Wikipedia made a policy against this because it was a problem.[1]

> You notice they almost never actually link to the reverts they are complaining about.

I noticed they said it was years before nearly always if they said when. And to find revisions of forgotten date in Wikipedia required more time than most people would spend for a comment. And anecdotal evidence changed beliefs rarely.
