You shouldn't need extra software. PDFs just work.

What? PDFs absolutely don't just work without "extra software", you need a browser or acrobat or some other pdf reader.

I guess it's a call for a OS-bundled markdown renderer but then you have to open different software depending on what you want to do with it which I'd hate personally. Not to mention the 10s of standards for markdown and no way to know which one the file used/intended.

I have a FairPhone and the hardware is fine and very repairable (being able to replace the usb socket has saved me from buying a new phone). The android alternative e/os has a lot of criticism the launcher is awful, feels like a cheap Chinese knock off of iPhone-like interface but you can at least swap it out and it's not as secure as something like graphene os. You're making a tradeoff whatever choice you make.

Farage and reform are dangerous yes but Labour are a more direct threat to the SNP's vote share, so they kind of need to attack them a bit, even though in principle they agree on a lot. That said, current labour can fuck right off with their genocide-enabling, big tech-appeasing, tory-apologist cowardice.

It's an Android client for syncthing. It is only one of the available android clients, not syncthing itself.

No impact yet. Tried to use it as an excuse to move my friends away from discord but no such luck!

I think the act has merits, there's just not enough exceptions. The wording is so vague it considers a Minecraft server used by a group of friends who know eachother in the real world as being the same as fucking Facebook.

I love how one of the comments is a completely unironic "did you just assume my distro?!".

I love the argument about c having type safety with the little side-swipe at rust. "AcTuAlLy C does have type safety! You just have to jump through the following 50 hoops to get it!". I'm an outsider to both C and Rust but it's still funny.

Right, but my point is that that wasn't explained in the post, and it's not the only thing in the article that is stated as "you should do this thing" without telling the reader why.

I haven't heard anyone articulate anything compelling about consumer-marketed AI so please tell me! There's loads of really good uses of AI (medical imaging seems really promising) but the ones I know about are so specialised that I can't see why I would need "AI" in my day to day.

Lancer, I need to finish my Curse of Strahd campaign first...

I agree with those saying mailing lists are intimidating. I don't know if others are using dedicated tools or something but I find web based mailing list UIs just incomprehensibly bad and difficult to navigate.
