  • Researchers say they can spy on your browsing by measuring SSD activity through a browser API

  • I wholeheartedly second this. I started by removing all the files off Google Drive, which was easy for me. To swap email, I took one week researching email replacements, another week signing up, and every week since then has been swapping over one or two websites to the new addresses. Still not there, but I'll have a lot less work to do if/when I have to de-Google quickly.

    Thinking of de-Googling as a single action that must be completed in totality is not a good way of getting anything done. There is huge value in reducing reliance.

  • 60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market

    Jump

  • I think you may overestimate how many people build their PCs instead of buying a prebuilt.

  • New Linux StarFighter laptop family debuts starting at $1,878 — Star Labs Systems' laptops arrive with spacious RAM, several options

    Jump

  • Framework also has used soldered RAM in the past. Getting their newest model to use modular RAM was quite the boast.

  • Claude-powered AI coding agent deletes entire company database in 9 seconds — backups zapped, after Cursor tool powered by Anthropic's Claude goes rogue

    Jump

  • The AI agent was set to complete a routine task in the PocketOS staging environment. However, it came up against a barrier “and decided — entirely on its own initiative — to 'fix' the problem by deleting a Railway volume,” writes Crane, as he starts to describe the difficult-to-believe series of unfortunate events.

    Quite easy-to-believe, really.

    These multiple safeguards toppling in rapid succession

    Multiple safeguards? Really? Multiple paragraph prompts are not multiple safeguards... it's half a safeguard at best. Applying limits on what the AI can do is a safeguard.

  • I think +7 is common because it's the kind of rule that mostly matters when you're young, and more than 7 breaks it too often. For instance +10 means as an 18y/o I would have to date a 19 y/o... where-as +7 makes sense for people as young as 14.

  • PepsiCo Cuts Chip Prices After Losing Over $1 Billion in Revenue

    Jump

  • For what size?? I see brand-name prices from $4-5 Canadian for a 200g bag and that is expensive as hell. Store brand chips are $1.50 to $2. $2.50 generic brand at expensive chains and corner stores.

  • Framework says it's selling more Linux laptops than Windows as new Laptop 13 Pro sells out first 7 batches

    Jump

  • Not quite, no. Their DIY edition displays the options as you show, but if you select prebuilt then the options include Ubuntu.

    I assume with DIY they offer Windows only as a quick way to acquire a license, it may not even be installed. Not sure if anyone can confirm if they just throw in a Windows USB.

  • Goodbye device ownership, and the last vestiges of free speech will die with this bill as well.

    Jump

  • Problem is, what reason do Democrats or Republicans have to change it? As far as I can see they love trading back every term or two which means any electoral change will require tearing both parties down. Or could you start with states / towns first? I don't know enough about US voting.

  • When do Americans actually do the taxes? On January 1? Or do y'all like procrastinate till April 15?

    Jump

  • I'm Canadian (so North American) and I do them first week of April now. When all I had was a minimum wage retail job it was easy enough to get my one or two forms and file really early, but now I have to wait for companies to get me the forms and some of them send them out as late as April 1st.

  • Is it possible to have a usable domain without a VPS or a static IP address?

    Jump

  • My dynamic IP rarely changes. When it does, it gets updated by a Docker favonia/cloudflare-ddns image. I have yet to notice downtime.

  • Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns

    Jump

  • If we're going to slop it up with AI so hard you don't even look at the code can we at least use performant tools and start slopping Rust or something instead, dear god.

  • Is there a software method to "rotate" music around my head?

    Jump

  • They seem to mean rotating the sound, not balancing the L and R. Imagine laying on your back. An airplane rolls overhead on the soundtrack. It sounds like it's coming from your headboard rather than the sky, because your head is flat. The OP wants the sound to still be in the sky, essentially rotating the soundscape forwards 90 degrees.

    What is something society treats as normal that you secretly think is completely insane?

    Jump

  • I'm gonna say I'm grateful for this one, I don't want someone's unwashed ass on my couch.

  • GIMP 3.2 released

    Jump

  • Link layers? Alright GIMP, you've finally convinced me. This is 99% of smart objects from Photoshop and I think it's finally time for me to seriously learn this program. No more dual booting for Photoshop.

  • Nah, having a useful tool built in is a good user experience, provided you can remove it. Windows fails on the second part. But I think OS's should aim to have simple tasks covered by default apps such as Paint on Windows or Libre Office on most Linux distros, and an anti virus is probably a necessary install for many Windows users.

  • While true, I found myself mildly irked by the KDE emoji picker at times. On Windows, you focus an input, press Super+., and then can click any character and it immediately inputs so I can type out 🫵🍽️🤔 easily. On KDE it only copies the character, so the flow is (if I remember right) Super+., click a character, focus the input, paste, Super+., click a character, focus the input, paste....

    I've found most Linux clipboard managers share the same issue of having to leave the text flow to copy an input and paste it again. Basically they are treated as separate apps rather than popups.

  • No no, confine them to their own space. I believe in robot segregation lol.

  • I'd like to ask everyone, which movie have you rewatched more than three times?

    Jump

  • For some reason as a teenager I watched Fantastic Mr Fox about 17 times over several years. It is a good movie, but I can't say I recommend anyone else watch it that much. Once is enough.
