I tried to install it on linux but it seems there is not much documentation on setting it up after installing the latest zip file, and I don't have much experience manually figuring out where these bin and lib files go in order for it to work.
Adding to the original question, is it ethically OK to keep using these corporate AI tools? I fear engaging with it would give these companies all the more reason to develop them further and continue their illegal data extraction. I would personally prefer to boycott them but I am unsure as to whether it would be akin to shooting myself in the foot by this point.
I started back in 2018-19. While learning the ins and outs of the interface, I was curious about how the animation for rotation of objects would work for a rotating angle of more than 360° between keyframes ie. whether it would perform a complete revolution or take the shortest rotation possible. I created a short video of an object to test this out and found it to be the former.
I recall having tried out Blender earlier as well. The pre-2.8 interface was overwhelming for me, combined with the weird default mouse controls, so I deleted it shortly after.
All this time I was wondering what black sorcery DST was performing to magically "add more sunlight" when it was simply the matter of setting the clock 1hr early.
I would rather go with having separate schedules for winter and summer for everything; even thinking about adopting DST is nauseating for me. I enjoy having a uniform time scale independent from external environmental factors.
Someone please ELI5 Daylight Savings for me? I simply can't wrap my head around it no matter how many times I try to read any explanation about it. I don't even know if my own region follows it (probably not given I would've understood it otherwise).
This isn't related to the context of the post, but I recall giving a review in an earlier post regarding the blog site. Assuming you (positive-intentions) are the same person as the author of the previous post (xoron), It's impressive how you came this far with your blog and apps since then.
Your blog post about bottom-up browser state management was particularly interesting because I was dealing with indexedDB before and ended up going with a wrapper while I personally wanted to work with a custom solution. The explanations for the code snippets are to-the-point, easy to follow and overall well written which I really appreciate as a person not experienced in reading blogs.
Also I enjoyed your in-house illustrations. Keep up the great work!
With regard to what if every person on earth gets a similar buffer: Assuming everyone initially becomes aware of this feature, I would imagine communities would pool up their storage by connecting them via references to other member's name or identity (similar to linked lists). They could store their collective thoughts in the form of megathreads similar to how Twitter users do it, in plain text or making use of links to Babel pages as suggested in another comment.
Intelligence agencies would be extremely efficient in cramming information in their limited shared buffers. Imagine they observe 'CakeShoeRock' written in the buffer and immediately conclude they are in a time loop because they anticipated this exact scenario and developed a comprehensive set of protocols and a system of condensed code words to follow for the same in advance.
Now it makes sense. The transparent nature of the image obscured the outline of the switch in my screen from which I was initially unable to identify that it represented the different cases of viewport width of the switch.
I can relate to this too. I try to fight the site out of spite by furiously clicking on the back button of the browser to get me to the home page, and it does show the page for a split second before undoing the redirects and pulling me back to the page I was originally in. In the end I have to succumb to using the website's own navigation buttons to incrementally head back to the starting page.
Sometimes it becomes a race between me and the site implementing infinite scroll to see if I can reach the footer before the site can load more content; the only time I curse my internet connection for being good
The part about having proper print layout of the site is actually interesting to me. I just learned about it recently and was curious about how there was explicit CSS support for this. This introduces an entirely new perspective on how a website should be designed to offer reliable print support that I am willing to learn.
I agree with this to some extent. For even wider lines of text occupying the entire desktop screen, it actually becomes hard for me to discern which line I am currently reading, causing me to start reading the entire line all over again.
I've witnessed it is part of dark patterns in most websites. Often the more consumer friendly option in a consent dialog box is greyed out as if the option itself is unavailable. Even I would've been fooled by it if not for my habit of clicking on the button regardless.
This marks the end of my 1yr 9mo old disposable account.

I tried to read this with the narrator's voice from Disco Elysium

Diehard fans may disagree with you. Personally I don't care what they're going to say

I can feel you brother.
I found this captcha in the YouTube player a few days back.

Thank you very much for sharing this link.

I hate having to toggle off legitimate interests off vendors too. The very premise of this option has been anti-consumer from the beginning.

Thanks for the clarification!

RSS Feed was a godsend for me, because it finally relieved me of the chore of visiting a webpage of news site to look for latest news.
Agree on the hostile UX of news sites. The experience is worsened extensively when viewing on mobile.
