science fiction story with a "universal translator" but over the course of the story it's revealed that rather than the technology being able to adapt to other languages, it's forced every other galactic language to conform to the same rules for ease of translation

Back in June, I saw a pre-print paper from Google about which APIs Malicious/Ad SDKs use on Android to fingerprint and track users. This made me want to respond with an article about how Apple is much better at privacy but I ended up writing an article about the iOS equivalents for fingerprinting users.

9회말 조병현이 계속 마운드를 지켰다. 1사 1루서 우익수로 자리를 옮긴 이정후의 호수비가 나왔다. 2사 내야 뜬공으로 경기는 끝났다. 미션은 완성됐다. 한국은 7-2로 승리하면서 기어이 8강행을 이뤄냈다. WBC 3회 연속 조별리그 탈락의 아픔을 뒤로 하고 2009년(준우승) 이후 17년 만에 미국 땅을 밟게 됐다.

In addition to all the rest of the mess that’s happening in UK trans rights news today, Maki has somehow broken one of her long canine teeth, and is sneezing a lot more than usual.

Gonna ring the vets when they open. Not having fun today.

the thing that the BLITs and the Snow Crashes of the world did not forsee was that the basilisk would be slow rather than fast, that you'd have to *keep* staring at it for months, and that people would willingly do so, mostly because although it tore their minds apart, it was also moderately helpful for making low-complexity web apps and planning relatively simple administrative tasks

An amusing and telling picture that shows how dependency tracking for and libcurl does not work at all, is to check out GitHub's view of all repositories that depend on curl.

I mean, there are quite a few repositories on there, so the number could be high.

Or it could be... one.

text editor recommendations ask, anti-ai discussion

Hey fedi,

So, with the news about , I'm considering branching out and trying different editors/toolchains. Thing is, I've got a that keeps my brain running, a second one that manages the massive project that is and a third that is my website.

I'm hopeful that a non-slop fork of vim is in the future, but I can't maintain one, so I'm wanting to learn about my options.

I could use recommendations of things to explore. Optimally tools where the maintainers have stated a policy of not accepting slop, but I'm willing to risk things where we don't have *known* slop being introduced by maintainers.

I don't need an all-in-one solution necessarily, but I do need both a text editor and a wiki solution. There needs to be some tooling from which I can render a basic static site from the wiki format. I can shell script just enough to ease the practice of pushing files through a series of tools, but I typically need some handholding, so I'd prefer something that's already pretty well established.

I'm not currently looking to leave the terminal, no shade to gui's, just not what I'm looking for right now.

edit: Oh, and I'm on , so preferably something that's already in ports, but I'd still like to know about small projects too.

The GTK file picker Firefox wants to use by default is meh. I'm not sure why it doesn't use the one provided by the OS when it's just one about:config tweak away. Change widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker from 2 to 1 and you get the much, much better KDE file picker. Assuming you're using @kde of course.

It's been a problem for ages on multiple operating systems, not a new thing. At least now you don't have to set environment variables and change startup scripts.
