Mozilla is adding a toggle to disable all generative "AI" features in Firefox. It shows that organized pushback is actually making a difference.

One battle won. Now let's make it crystal clear. We want tools, not forced LLMs. Keep the pressure on until "AI" is no longer an option.

as to cozzie lives, here's an interesting take from 2023
independentaustralia.net/polit…

with the OECD recently saying we're doing alright, with back-to-back surplus, but could do better to rise above our previously average standard there's something going right. Basically, we got an elephant stamp and a note "could do better" but phew now a "see me after class" ;)

did you know there's no limit to how many if let statements you can have in #rust? you can just keep adding more. nobody can stop you
#Rust
in reply to Lynnesbian

is there actually no limit or is it stupidly high, like java and its limit of 255 parameters to a function call?
in reply to Lynnesbian

fine... Give me a minute while I blow the top of this stack.
in reply to Lynnesbian

well ... that's rather silly 😁

in reply to Lynnesbian

it just works ... prints out the loop_count of optional values.

Used random number generation to make sure the compiler wasn't making it vanish in a puff of logic

Lynnesbian reshared this.

in reply to Lynnesbian

so it does crash rustc with a stack overflow if you set it to 65536 loops but that doesn't seem entirely unreasonable honestly.

Lynnesbian reshared this.

the video is very useful, thank you. I am using the same tecnique (m49). Running every day since a year now. I finished a semi in 2.06 without major stress ( OK not a terrific time I know but usually I run 7 km)

@ch3o
Thank you for the compliment.

2 is a very respectable time. With a little structure you can significantly reduce your time without stress or injury, of course if that's your goal.

I wanted to love "Beautyland" by Marie-Helene Bertino - a neurodiverse protagonist who loves science(!) - but it didn't quite live up to my expectations.

But now I'm 11 chapters into "Circe" by Madeline Miller, which has been a wonderful journey so far. Miller knows her Classics! Highly recommend 📚 #books

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

There's been a mini trend of "classics retold from [some female character]'s perspective". I've read a few and this is best I've read. Her prose lives up to its promise. Have you read Margaret Atwood's Penelopiad?

I love Valheim, but many games have come and gone from early access to full completion in the time they take to add a another biome lol

Looking forward to finally completing this one though. We ended up just stopping at Ashlands so we don't run out of gameplay, had a similar issue in Enshrouded but at least that game will go 1.0 later this year!

Genuinely surprised that #CachyOS keeps on trucking. I figured it would've plateaued by now.

I'm not sure how widely the handheld edition is used, else I'd be inclined to say that it's eating some #SteamOS.

But who knows. I don't know anything anymore.

Do you like nano, but want to try something different? 🤔

1. How many of those editors are FOSS? E.g. MS Edit? Seriously?
2. Have you seen/tried any of the last versions of #Nano?
#nano
in reply to It's FOSS

all of these except for "MS Edit" have more features and thus a greater learning curve than Nano. Wouldn't that make them more complicated than Nano, not less?
