It uses other signals too, like what other sites you’ve visited with that checkbox on it, what CloudFlare has seen your IP address doing in the past, etc.

The google one is able to see if you’re logged into a google account and take that into account.

There’s even a new variant of the Google captcha that is invisible and doesn’t even bother to show a checkbox.

This reminds me of a great video about this sort of principle in reverse: youtu.be/wBBnfu8N_J0

It’s different in different markets. In Australia and New Zealand it’s usually a reasonably well made medium-dark blend.

You’ll get much better at any dedicated café, but it’s also miles better than sbux (who don’t even use real espresso machines).

I enjoy OpenMW and I’m happy to host if you want, although my instance is basically just me and a few friends right now.

*rate, comment, and subscribe

Gotta get those five stars

nick OP ,

I think they’re lawful evil, more devils than demons.

I use Alpine Linux quite a bit, which is a Linux distro that doesn’t use the GNU coreutils or glibc.

Also even giving GNU such a high level in the name on a distro like Arch makes little sense imo because other components like systemd are arguably much more important than one of many libc libraries you can optionally use and a bunch of coreutils you can also optionally use.

nick ,

You should refactor as needed as you go because refactoring cases are never gonna be prioritised.

nick ,

In my experience I haven’t had an issue because usually the refactorings are small. If they’re not I just hop on a call with the person who wrote the MR and ask them to walk me through it.

In theory I’d like to have time to dedicate solely to code health, but that’s not quite the situation in basically any team I’ve been in.

There’s a markdown entry thing in the drop down menu that’ll convert your MD to their formatting.

Hong Kong Article 23: Basic rights threatened as law enacted, critics charge (www.nbcnews.com)

“We are basically seeing the Hong Kong government trying to slam shut the really last vestiges of room for criticizing it,” said Kevin Yam, one of 13 overseas pro-democracy activists accused of national security offenses by Hong Kong authorities....

nick ,

Technically only some of HK was under the lease, some was indefinitely controlled by the British. However, you’re still right because of the military force difference.

nick ,

Yeah, I’m not justifying the annexation.

The web is built on hot linking hypermedia. It is more fragile obviously, but it distributes the bandwidth and storage load. If nobody hotlinked, then small forum admins/Lemmy admins/etc. have considerably more cost to bear.

nick ,

A crash is different to a SEGFAULT. I’d be very surprised to see a safe rust program segfault unless it was actively exploiting a compiler bug.

nick ,

That flag exists, it’s called unsafe for if you need to tell the borrow checker to trust you or unwrap if you don’t want to deal with handling errors on most ADTs.

You can always cast anything to an unmanaged pointer type and use it in unsafe code.

nick ,

Go, Java, and Nim (in most cases) are all memory safe but are generally slower than C or C++ due to the ways they achieve memory safety.

Rust’s memory safety approach is zero-cost performance wise, which makes it practical for low level, high throughput, and low latency applications.

nick ,

Rust is roughly similar to C in most of these benchmarks and beats it in a few: benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/…/rust.html

Arguably when LLVM gets a bit better, Rust can be even faster than C because rust can be optimised in more places safely than C code can. The issue is that LLVM wasn’t written with that in mind, so some performance is left on the table.

nick ,

As a compiler developer this speaks to me on a deep level lol

You need everyone else in the EU to agree to remove them. Poland and Hungary sort of protect each other from EU consequences.

I couldn’t imagine buying any laptop other than a Mac because the performance to battery life ratio on everything else is awful. Plus if you want a UNIX system, it’s an easy buy.

After owning an Apple ARM laptop I’d never go back to anything else.

nick ,

I mean at that point you’re basically running macOS 😉

nick ,

ARM, but Apple has the most advanced ARM chips and macOS /The AS Platform has the best amd64 to arm64 translation layer.

I’ve used a number of different Linux distros (including Debian) on laptops over the years. Although most recently my XPS 15 was running Arch.

nick ,

I miss circles

nick , (edited )

Manjaro and Antergos are just asking for trouble. If you want Arch, use Arch. Otherwise Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, and Fedora are popular.

I don’t think the full Radeon suite is on Linux but there are tools for screen recording like simple screen recorder and OBS.

There is lots of 3rd party software available on all of these distros in their respective package managers, but Ubuntu has the advantage with PPAs allowing for more 3rd party repos to be easily added to the package manager.

Good Girl by Aquilo. It brings up a lot of relatable feelings around growing up Christian and ultimately is quite sweet.

No, you pay off their mortgage in exchange for not being homeless. All renting should be rent to buy. No renting without equity in exchange.

nick ,

The downside is all these greedy landlords make the prices outrageous so nobody can get a deposit on a house. It’s easy when you already own one house because you can use it as collateral and also your tenants will pay off your mortgage.

nick ,

Where is this from?

nick ,

Cross posting is built into Lemmy intentionally to allow for post and community discovery. It’s a client issue that there’s no good grouping or deduplication.

nick ,

I don’t think there’s any malice here. Someone just forgot to put up a robots.txt on the bard website.

nick ,

Couldn’t the general assembly just acknowledge that the RF does not inherit the Soviet Union veto? Same way that they stripped Taiwan of their veto. I don’t think that would require a security council vote.

nick ,

The UN has not resolved that the Russian Federation is the Soviet Union w.r.t. veto powers. It’s just been assumed. For the PRC there was an actual vote.

Ukraine legally has just as much of a right to the Soviet Union veto.

nick ,

I don’t think the RF can count as a direct successor state when Ukraine was also a member of the USSR.

nick ,

Wow that website is cancer to load on mobile.

Everyone on the patreon discord was both wanting it and also worried about the tax implications of winning it lol

Would have been like $7000 NZD of import tax for where I am

The BDB and the Micra are pretty quick machines to heat up. It’s mostly E61 machines and the like that take a good while to get to temp (like 20 minutes+)

Any chance to have a separated [PORN] tag to avoid blocking all kind of NSFW posts?

Many NSFW have nothing to do with porn. Sometimes are horror contents, some times are crude images, some times are just lazy people who don’t know of the Spoiler tag. Can we have a quick and easy way to filter off all the (very funny but not alway wanted) Porn posts without locking out those other contents???

nick ,

I don’t think ActivityPub supports that. There’s just the “sensitive” flag (which Mastodon shows as a content warning and lemmy shows as NSFW). I think you’d have to do something outside of the specification.

nick ,

eh I use Linux on my desktop but macOS is a nicely polished UNIX operating system. It’s only locked down for average users, you can usually get away with a quick sudo or worst-case going into single user mode and disabling some system protections.

I definitely prefer using *nix operating systems, and macOS gives me that for portable computing. I’m still more productive on Linux, but it’s not too far apart.

nick ,

The situation in Niger is directly contrary to US interests given that there are moves towards asking the US to leave alongside the French + the coup government contacted Wagner/is already aligned with Wagner-backed regimes. The US does a lot of fucked up stuff in the world but it would make no sense for them to be involved here.

nick ,

Wow another coup in francophone Africa. I wonder if the regional democratic powers not intervening in Niger encouraged this.

nick ,

Interesting, when I tried a while back it broke all images (not visible on the website due to service worker caching but visible if you put any pictrs url into postman or something)

nick ,

True, you’re correct. I’m just not sure how you did it without corrupting the sled db. Maybe I’m just unlucky

nick OP ,

It’s pretty popular with all the coffee youtubers, one (Sprometheus) even made a video just about this glass lol
