Reminds me of how much effort GPU driver devs put in to fixing completely borked games that don’t follow spec / violate apis / rely on undocumented or undefined behaviour / etc

It’s a really dumb situation…

Oh great, now he’s qualified to run for office.

Lol! Losers. I’ve been programming for almost two decades and extensive use of AI hasn’t compromised my skills AT ALL! These slop machines can’t hope to compete with the quantity and magnitude of subtle bugs I write. My code was terrible long before I made bots have mental breakdowns trying to work with it.

Yeah, that doesn’t scale lol

Cant wait for all the planes to become mobile spirit Halloweens

I hadn’t bothered because it was mostly LLM slop I edited until it worked, so it’s specific and not robust. Just had to hack something together the night before I had to leave on a trip… Haven’t had time to tag my music properly, so I’m still using it. The magic sauce is just ffmpeg and the mutagen Python lib.

Same almost. I have an ~800gb main library of mostly lossless files that I squash to around 150gb by transcoding to 196k or something opus that i put locally on my phone. I also strip embedded cover art which can save a stupid amount of space sometimes; relying on folder hierarchy with cover.jpg/png files. (Bitrate is pretty overkill for me so I may drop it to 128-160…)

I haven’t had the time to manage the tags properly on my reference library*, but my folder hierarchy encodes artist/album/title with optional years and track numbers. I wrote a linter script to check the structure, that every folder has a cover art image, and to warn about lossy formats not in directories suffixed with [lossy] (purely for documentation purposes; not used in script logic).

My transcode script generates tags from the folder and filenames, only copying genre tags if they exist and stripping everything else. Lossless files are transcoded while structure, art, and lossy files are copied. Then that result is synced to my mobile devices. So whenever I add music my workflow is to just name file folders properly and download or extract art then I just lint, transcode, and then resync.

*(Tags of my reference library don’t matter so much to me, but the squashed lib needs consistent tags for mobile apps for behave as I intend)

Somebody never got the memo about papal infallibility

Germany, please, don’t start competing with America for who make the better Nazi state…

I’m kinda surprised, given how many evangelicals basically treat him as being ordained by god

Let me introduce you to the wonderful world of Nix

Fucking lemongrab grade screeching of purity and abstinence for decades and then suddenly this

Covid. I’m being slightly hyperbolic.

It’s finally the year of the Linux Desktop! And all it took was an apocalypse, the rise of the fourth reich, (soon to be) two global recessions, and continuing unprecedented damage to the world order / faith in international law.

Oh, and Windows actively trying its absolute hardest to make everyone hate it.

But hey,… progess! The more penguins, the better.

Yes

True, but I don’t think I’d mind it I had a windows pc that I used like a game console and for nothing else. Obviously it’s way more invasive, but game piracy is pretty risky in the first place.

Though I already gave up games that won’t work on Linux, and am quite content with that so far. But if I was still determined to play pirated windows games, it would be a dedicated vlan-isolated machine which I always presume to be compromised; in that case, a hypervisor isn’t that big of an ask to gain access to previously unplayable games

I was gonna say government (legislation with teeth), but yeah sorta

I wonder what the solution to a capitalist privacy nightmare is… /s

Idk, I still think he’s hiding the real and completely legitimate justification under his mattress. He’s just not telling anyone because of his unmatched genius.

They talk about the name in the initial announcement back in 2023

The term is a bit broader than those protocols and Kagi is far from the first to use it; it certainly isn’t a “hijack” as if it was the name if another project or something.

It’s just what they named the lens, because it’s a lens for the ‘small web’ as they defined it; like the other lenses
