I suspect it’s not dissimilar to the way spam emails are full of typos and grammar errors. You may wonder why they don’t just get those fixed, but they’re specifically to filter out the people who notice them and dismiss the spam, as they (the spammers) are far less likely to successfully scam someone who is offended by the way the spam is written. They are a kind of first level filter.

MS are filtering out the vocal, knowledgable people who will cause problems next time they have some security breach or do something shady around privacy. Convert that relatively small number of people to Linux, and you’re left with a compliant and fully tracked customer base—far more use in the long run.

Downvoted because it didn’t end with /s.

I guess the company was providing a kind of UBI? Not sure what will happen when all of those non-jobs disappear…

Dynax owners know…

Sounds like my webpack build.

Maybe I’ve been lucky, but I bought an HP M476DN in 2015, and no problems using non-oem toner, toner top up, etc. No subscription nonsense, no firmware upgrades nobbling things. Maybe I’ll regret posting this when HP find out but it doesn’t owe me anything nearly 10 years later…

My PhD was in neural networks in the 1990s and I’ve been in development since then.

Remember when digital cameras came out? They were pretty crappy compared to film—if you had a decent film camera and knew what you were doing. I fell like that’s where we’re at with LLMs right now.

Digital cameras are now pretty much on par with film, perhaps better in some circumstances and worse in others.

Shifting gear from writing code to reviewing someone else’s is inefficient. With a good editor setup and plenty of screen real estate, I’m more productive just writing than constantly worrying about what the copilot just inserted. And yes, I’ve tested that.

Surely boilerplate code is copy / paste or macros, then edit the significant bits—a lot less costly than copilot.

No worries! I’m looking to move away from Spotify and so comparing was on my radar :). Think Tidal family with playlist import might keep the moaning from the rest of the clan down. But will check out bandcamp too.

Deezer seems like the most expensive compared to Spotify and Tidal, and pays artists the least according to this: https://producerhive.com/music-marketing-tips/streaming-royalties-breakdown/

Just curious what’s the added benefit?

Plummeting against what currency?

Physicists:

This is just Occam’s razor again: a hypothetical particle that can’t interact with anything, and therefore can’t be detected, doesn’t exist.

Also Physicists: 85% of the universe’ mass is missing!!!

What happened to his ears?

At this rate, they’re going to need 18-year-olds to do national service as Tory MPs.

Just use Reader view or whatever that’s called in your browser. I use Arctic for Lemmy on iOS and it has a ‘default to reader’ for opening links. Can’t remember the last time I saw a paywall. There’s one news site that doesn’t work but it’s pretty obvious straight away.

And I don’t know if it’s useful but I often find the ‘jumping’ is pretty transient—it will happen once but then scrolling up and down over that section is smooth.

However I just found this post whose comments are full of images, and this one jumps pretty consistently for me—thought it may help as a test case if you didn’t already have one :)

Apurrture.

“All female shark tank” is my new band name.

I think I saw a note in the last change log about this—apologies if I mis-remembered. Just wanted to say I think it’s still happening, and I just saw what I think is the clearest example.

I’d scrolled to a point where the top few pixels, perhaps the top line of text, was visible on a post at the bottom of the screen. That post contained a link, and as I was looking at the post above the whole feed jumped ‘up’ and the barely visible bottom post was in the view. I guess this fits with what you’d said about that post changing size when its content became available after previous the link.

Hopefully you can find a way for the top of that post on screen to be anchored so the feed moves ‘down’ instead of ‘up’… :)

This is a few years old, but I loved this one from London.
