This. I have been using it a lot lately to manipulate CSVs, it is such a godsend.

AI bros are trying really hard to convince people that their parrots can be useful in business settings.

Zay-toon is also common in languages from the Iberic Peninsula: both Spanish and Portuguese got it (and a few other words) from Arabic.

I 100% agree with your advice.

I tried learning Portuguese with Duolingo, in a couple of months I only managed to learn words, but no grammar. I fared better with Babel, which has more structured courses, but since there was no accountability, I wasn’t diligent and did not progress much. Finally, I enrolled in an evening class and in the span of 4 months my level went from “I barely know the basics” to A1.2

Also, as others mentioned, consuming content in said language and conversing (even online) helps a lot (that’s how I honed my English), having a pen pal is even better.

I’ve always used OVH, never had problems with them. They also offer emails for pretty cheap.

Telegram are being paid by xAI to use their product? Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around?

I did not stray much from the default setup as I rarely need more than one container, especially at work. I did set some rules like opening YouTube and inbox.google.com (which redirects to GMail) in the Personal one.

I also installed the very handy Easy Container Shortcuts for opening new containers with keyboard shortcuts, as well as Facebook Container in an attempt to limit Meta’s tracking^[1].

Most probably Microsoft has set objectives for how much LoC are from LLMs and developers invented numbers to match that metric (because they probably have things more important to do than counting LoC)

Oh right, I confuse the two

Power off. I never used hibernation nor suspend (even on Windows) and as I don’t use some of my computers for weeks, it just doesn’t make sense to keep them suspended for so long. And now that I’m on Fedora Atomic Desktop with auto-updates, I would have to reboot regularly anyway in order to apply updates.

Only exception is the Steam Deck for which I kept suspend so I can pick up my games where I left off.

This. Just setup fail2ban or similar in front of Jellyfin and you’ll be fine.

Exactly, I don’t understand why so few articles covering the trial suggest Chrome going independent as an option.

Oh, that makes sense.

The fuck is “non-tariff cheating” supposed to mean?

I don’t know why, somehow it just feels different to me. Or maybe it’s just the state of the world that tries to dehumanize everything with “AI” that depress me.

Just the thought of sex robots depressed me even more than the state of the world already had.

Android has always been developed in a closed-source manner by Google engineers, the recent changes only reduces the visibility of ongoing changes and the ability for developers outside of OEMs to contribute to Android (such contributions were already rare).

This is explained further in this article:

While some OS components, such as Android’s Bluetooth stack, are developed publicly in the AOSP branch, most components, including the core Android OS framework, are developed privately within Google’s internal branch. Google confirmed to Android Authority that it will soon shift all Android OS development to its internal branch, a change intended to streamline its development process.

Do it! Do it! Do it!

In France it’s dirt cheap, I’m paying 23,99€/month for symmetric 1Gbps FTTH.

It’s for far more than just deploying VMs: you can create pretty much anything you can on a cloud provider, such as databases, network rules, access tokens, object storage, etc.
