If they’re following the standard, which they often do but sometimes don’t, white indicates 2.0 and blue indicates 3.0+. I think there are more but I don’t remember the other colours.

I don’t know much apart from the basics of YAML, what makes it complicated for computers to parse?

For me this is fighting over semantics. It doesn’t really matter if it’s legally piracy or not since nobody is gonna go after you for it either way. It’s about whether what you’re doing is moral or the intended way. You can use adblocker, but then you’re just freeloading. Fact of the matter is that nothing is free and everything needs compensation when at scale. You can rightfully claim that YouTube shoves too many ads and that it’s a monopoly so it abuses it’s position, but at the end of the day you’re using the service without compensating for it, so you’re stealing at least something.

I have power toys insalled and I love it for a lot of its features, but I never got used to using the run menu.

I mean, you can change your passwords later on if you think a quantum computer broke them. In the case of quantum computers your network traffic is also gonna get cracked anyways, so they can steal your account information through that as well.

Interesting design but I’ve literally never used the start menu for the past 5 years I think. I only ever press the windows key and then type the name of the app I need.

Think you mean dark patterns.

No it actually wasn’t. Idk if you used basically any search engine nowadays but SEO bullshit has destroyed useful results for like 90% of searches.

I mean, what’s the problem with attached bottle caps? They’re pretty cool, and they don’t really get in the way.

Didn’t even see that one. Probably just a missclick.

The fact that X86 came after a full stop so his phone auto capitalised it.

I mean, a lot of the points are valid, but the Pixel phones are pretty great, Android is pretty great and getting better, and the Chromebook gamble is playing a really long term game where they could end up uprooting Microsoft if they play their cards right. From my understanding, US kids now on average know Chromebook OS better than Windows by far, and will probably prefer to continue using it if they could. If Google makes the OS more viable for professional use and flexible and play their cards right, they’d have a really good chance at uppending Microsoft’s dominance, especially since Microsoft is seemingly trying to shoot itself in the foot with Windows.

Honestly, the worst part of the AI craze is that so many people hear AI now and immediately hate it even though it can really do some amazing stuff, e.g. in medicine. AI as a blanket term just has so much variance, there’s a ton of trash and a ton of great stuff.

One thing I don’t get is that e.g. I have Revolut installed, I use it regularly, Google knows this yet still half or a quarter of my ads for months now has still been Revolut. Why??

To add to that, apart from the Apple cloud processing, data can be sent to OpenAI if a prompt is deemed too complex, but even then you’re asked whether or not you want it to talk to OpenAI’s servers each time, and apparently OpenAI isn’t allowed to store any of that data, tho idk how much I’d trust that part.

They also claim that whenever data is sent off device, only the data directly relevant to the prompt is sent.

I just… I… what goes through this man’s head? Why is literally every sentence he spews completed bullshit? And why do so many people fall for it?

I mean regular people don’t know how to read it, except if you randomly decided you wanted to. It’s pretty big culturally, e.g. the Baška tablet is a very important piece of history written in glagolitic that everyone knows about, and I’ve seen the alphabet randomly displayed in a few places, but nobody actually uses it today.

Damn, wild Glagolitic script found. I didn’t even realise it was in the Unicode standard.

Yeah but then you look at China and it’s at 4%. Maybe they got into the game early enough to get enough adress space for it to be serviceable?

Interesting that India has such a high percentage. I’m guessing it’s because most of their network infrastructure is probably relatively new and so they can include support right off the bat, instead of having to retrofit stuff?
