I remember reading that the screen is worse than v1, is that still true ?
worthless-trash··on Telus Uses AI to Alter Call-Agent Accents
Neither did I. It is interesting to know that it can absolutely be trained out of you.
worthless-trash··on Telus Uses AI to Alter Call-Agent Accents
I had 'accent neutralization' training as part of my hire for a US company in 2004. Americans could not understand my Australian accent. It still affected my accent to this day.
worthless-trash··on For Linux kernel vulnerabilities, there is no heads-up to distributions
I used to be work in a group that 'managed' this information a while back. I used to work in redhat product security dealing with embargoed flaws and disclosure dates, it was non trivial to get this process managed.

I do think that its the right thing to do, if the reporter is willing to come to the party, but I also understand why if they dont want to.

Almost like a 'mitigation tool' that doesn't require expertise on the users end, but on the providers end.

worthless-trash··on Tar Files Created on macOS Display Errors When Extracting on Linux (2024)
I'm downvoted, but why you cowards.

Why is this assumption incorrect, apple have a long history of breaking away from standards when it doesn't suit them.

worthless-trash··on Tar Files Created on macOS Display Errors When Extracting on Linux (2024)
No,

I just assume apple will break the behavior when they want to.

worthless-trash··on Lib0xc: A set of C standard library-adjacent APIs for safer systems programming
Hell, I aim to be all of those.
worthless-trash··on For Linux kernel vulnerabilities, there is no heads-up to distributions
I believe this is the side effect of having upstream manage the CVE process.

The distros dont get any involvement until release, welcome to the suck.

worthless-trash··on Online age verification is the hill to die on
This whole problem is basically parents admitting they cant parent.
worthless-trash··on Alberta startup sells no-tech tractors for half price
DeMyer's Law, superwoosh
worthless-trash··on Alberta startup sells no-tech tractors for half price
I believe in the country, one chooses the dangers and has some control. In the city, the danger is mostly out of control.

Ah yes, encouraging people into shitty situations, the hallmarks of city life.

> “No open bugs” cannot be the criteria for whether a product is ready to ship.

I think you mean, should not.

worthless-trash··on Dad brains: How fatherhood rewires the male mind
Respect.
worthless-trash··on The creative software industry has declared war on Adobe
People absolutely COULD design something better, but if there is a lesson that I have seen replayed across the internet over the last 20 years is that adobe users, only want adobe, they dont want anything else.

They want the shortcuts exactly the same, the screens exactly the same, the outputs exactly the same.

They simply dont accept anything else, it basically needs to be a carbon clone copy to keep them happy, and in that case, why bother writing software, you dont win those users, and there is MANY of them.

Yah. But did you skip leg day to take your lady to the hospital ?

That is why the licenses exist, and not reading the license isnt the suppliers problem.

worthless-trash··on Why weekends are under threat
Yeah you're right, i was doing it via memory. Which makes this whole thing even more incorrect.

ITS NOT JUST A PHASE MUM!

worthless-trash··on No one owes you supply-chain security
I applaude your dedication to the bit.
worthless-trash··on Why weekends are under threat
Just under a period.

29 days for a moon loop. 29 / 4.0 is 7.25. Every 4 weeks you'd be out a full day.

So yes, a week is a human invention.

worthless-trash··on Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? My quest to unmask Bitcoin's creator
I feel like the answer is way more cut and dry, but people dont like that.
worthless-trash··on LittleSnitch for Linux
Are these malware ?
worthless-trash··on Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? My quest to unmask Bitcoin's creator
I believe it widely understood to be what most people call "a douche move".
worthless-trash··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
Forgive my ignorance, but doesn't allowing them to collect a tax on transit pretty much continue to fund themselves to continue this bullshittery forever.

Bad behavior can't be encouraged.

worthless-trash··on Ubuntu now requires more RAM than Windows 11
The earlyoom/oomd changes are quite recent.. I've had a 'better' experience, but I guess it's not really fixed yet.

This is with earlyoom/systemd-oomd enabled ?
worthless-trash··on Coding agents could make free software matter again
How many propriatary solutions do you think will hand over the code for them to train, thats the point that i'm trying to make.

Opensource has provided training data, closed source code not so much. They will have a bad time learning.
