Isn’t this a looks inside floating point binary representation in memory situation?

If Lumo had access to the contents of your mailbox, wouldn’t that be breaking a core feature of the whole Proton stack? E2EE/zero knowledge is fundamentally incompatible with integrating a provider-operated chatbot that can access your data

Thank you for freely sharing your art! Seeding, will listen later

The Codex TUI has a similar bug where a useless animation costs way too many resources, but it’s definitely a different area of code. It was originally redrawing the entire TUI screen every 32ms. That one has a Codex-created fix, but user PR’s aren’t considered anymore. It was originally memory leaking 20GB (!) over 2-3 days

Two half-paragraphs with no capitalization and a list of links is a manifesto now?

Rust is web scale!

I’m not saying it doesn’t matter, it’s indeed a win.

But how strong of a win when due process is optional now?

The pirate bay was in Sweden though

Future you might not think the same

The rendering speed difference is negligible, with a bandwidth this limited the only strategy is to limit what the browser fetches. You don’t need a proxy server to strip out page content (also because that would imply breaking the encryption stream), a browser could simply choose not to fetch any image or multimedia resources, override remote fonts with local ones, etc. In that sense the choice matters, because some are specialized for this purpose or can be configured to act in these manners

I would suggest giving native DAWs a solid try, if you find something that clicks staying on the native Pipewire/JACK system is so much nicer than window’s, on top of the inevitable emulation/translation jankiness. Bitwig and REAPER are the big ones, but depending on your workflow/focus you can find other alternatives. There’s also a bunch of native “digital audio gear” that is pretty sweet - check out Cardinal!

Windows VSTs can be tricky, always check if there is a native Linux release, otherwise you will have to run it through some compatibility layer and pray your divinity of choice, although you should have a good number of guides available. I suggest checking out some of the native alternatives here too, for example I use LSP plugins for compressors, EQs, and adjacent things

I doubt that process would’ve been cheaper than buying discs unless you were distributing. Very time consuming too.

Even today LPs aren’t that expensive if it’s not a rare release. ~20€ is a very reasonable price for an album, especially if it’s an independent release or a small label. And you can find a ton of good condition second-hand discs for 5-10€

FAKE_NEWS (true but I don’t like it)

I wish the distributed computing utopia where we would send X windows over the network came true, but unfortunately it didn’t, and the whole X11 paradigm is inadequate for the modern tech reality

Is it still fucked? Hasn’t it been like a decade?

You’ll pry #archlinux from my cold dead hands

youraislopbores.me helps me a little bit to remember the internet is made for humans to be silly

Only a handful of data points surfaces by this website come from JS APIs, most are either header-based or some other browser behaviour that is independent from JS

Afaik, it’s been suggested that they sang in a manner similar to modern birds

This is KYC (Know Your Customer). Unfortunately it is legally mandated in many places and has been for a while. It sucks and should be abolished, but currently most companies can’t really avoid it, especially when selling anything is involved, under the guise of “money laundering prevention”. Of course there’s also companies that go beyond the legal minimum and do shady shit with data brokers.
