I can almost taste the deafening sound of silence from the receiving end.

Just call it Ecmascript and be done with it. The name JavaScript was misleading from the beginning. Well, Ecma sounds like a skin disease but who cares.

This happened just this morning. Probably not the dumbest thing ever, and I blame Snap for putting things where they don’t belong: I deleted stuff from the /run/user/1000/doc directory. Turns out the files there are in fact hard links to files which actually reside somewhere else. Well, they were, until I deleted them forever.

Background: Firefox (as an Ubuntu snap package) downloads files in some kind of sandbox mode and references stuff there for some obscure reason. That was my weekly reminder to get rid of snap packages because snap sucks in a myriad of ways.

Oh, I just updated manually and found the option “mark read on scroll”. That should fix it.

Thank you! Jerboa is by far my favorite Lemmy App. Good Work!

Media Corporations should not have a say in disconnecting users from the internet based on copyright infringement. The right to social participation is part of a basic human right - self-determination. Today, the majority of interactions with society involve communication via internet in one way or another, so that access to the internet is vital for enabling social participation.

I know this is posted in funny, but whatever. You could still login locally using keyboard and monitor. Uncool, but it works

Technically it’s not the same, in case of IMAP they would need to literally put spam mails into your account. As opposed to having visual elements in the UI that pretend to be an email. Might not feel like a big difference but actively poisoning the users inbox is pretty bad.

That looks like advice on how NOT to ask for technical support on a public forum.

1. Be generic and vague. Omit as many details as possible, this will only distract from the problem at hand.
2. remember to include your private API key to share it with the world.

I was wondering if that might be a thing. Saw people talk about “the codes” instead of “code” more than once.

because both letters and emoji together form a word, like b+🌧️ = brain

I was watching Al Jazeera to see what they had to say and they called the Hamas terror attack “the Hamas military operation”. I have no sympathies for them to say it kindly. Actually the can fuck right off. Deliberately butchering civilians, many among them children is not a military operation. It’s a terror attack.

It’s more of a calendar thing I’m afraid.

Enjoy

I don’t like this story. The outcome is only accidentally good and what the author seems to miss entirely is the elephant in the room: A crass failure to communicate with the developers. If you try to establish something like KPIs (not commenting on if that is good or bad here) you need to talk to the team and get them on board. If you treat them like lab rats and try to measure individual performance from the outside that is an obvious fail. In the end, where they state that they “quietly” dropped it, indicates that the real lesson was not learned.

Uh, and a dilbert comic.

Might try that in CSV files

Yeah, you’re right that it is different from simply stealing content. However the LLMs still use protected material as input and it seems that at least parts of those works can be uniquely identified in the output. That can be considered problematic, even if the data is deconstructed into embeddings inbetween input and output.

“public” does not mean you’re allowed to steal it and republish it as a work of your own. There are things like copyright and stuff

Only when you get every single person living in the US to infect their phone
