The moon is fake! The woke commie Dims turned the rigged puck-lamp too high!

Ditto. I was a fairly prolific Redditor for the past decade, and stopped cold-turkey the day they stopped allowing anonymous access to Old.

That said, that was just the final straw. Reddit has been going downhill for a few years now - Right around the same time bots outnumbered the humans, and AI has only sped that up by an order of magnitude. The "Dead Internet" is already here.

Not to mention Reddit's moderation has become so blatantly partisan it's impossible to discuss anything but the most banal of topics. Even mentioning I/P without strongly suggesting we'd really love to fellate Bibi for his greatest hits (and not on schools and hospitals) is all but a guaranteed timeout.

Reddit was a great site, as close to an all-topic old-school forum as we could ask for. "Was".

Who said it was "hard"? But it isn't fast and it is a pain in the ass if you just want to run a container having to do it through some desktop shim image (Rancher and Podman use backends images just like Docker) or an Ubuntu image. If wslc makes it easy to invoke straight from a prompt it will save time, memory and effort. I expect a compose function will show up in due course too. I would also not be surprised if some of these Desktop applications support wslc directly instead of through shim images.

For someone who considers the MoCA "a very hard test", it's not all that unreasonable to consider an obsequious oracle "super intelligent".

Of course, we could say the same about a slightly brain-damaged labrador retriever, but they aren't setting national and global policy regarding the most likely cause of human extinction over the next few decades.

I kind of agree it's increasingly annoying to find dead space on a titlebar, and I absolutely loathe Microsoft's use of the title bar to stick crap I have never and will never use. I don't search enough to waste half the title bar on a search bar, I couldn't care less who I'm logged in as, and "Saved to this PC" is nothing more than Microsoft flipping us off for having zero interest in automatically saving everything OneDrive.

At the same time, I really do like using the title bar as a tab bar. It's a decent compromise insofar as they're conceptually like mini title bars for each page we have open.

Round controls, however, need to die yesterday. Rounded, sure, but having a full semicircle wasted at each end of a button is just a gratuitous waste of space. "Compact" is fundamentally incompatible with "round".

Am I missing something here? Application Menu -> Settings -> Extensions&Themes -> Themes. You can choose a few common defaults, customize your own, or download thousands of them from addons.mozilla.org.

You're the third comment implying we can no longer apply (or even make) custom themes, yet the linked announcement bluntly states exactly the opposite and implies they're increasing the number of themes available. Admittedly I run ESR rather than the bleeding edge, but we're only talking six months old, not some antique from the late '90s.

You don't need to edit your user prefs to disable dark mode, themes are right there in the main settings.

That said, the vast majority of people using dark mode will consider some purple highlights in dark mode far, far less annoying than switching to light mode.

Personally, I prefer most of my "non-content" screen elements to be low-contrast grayscale and, wherever possible, dark grey window backgrounds. Purple is an annoying violation of that preference, but still beats bright white backgrounds and obnoxious Candy-Crush-like icons / controls / borders by a mile.

Docker on windows is usually done one of two ways - Docker for Desktop (a commercial product) which is basically using WSL2 as a backend and its own custom distro, or you install Ubuntu and install docker inside of it. Neither is particularly convenient if you just want to a container off the cuff for some reason and I assume Microsoft want to make it more easier, faster and more convenient for those use cases.

I don't have an objection to GMO per se, but I do to bullshit PR pieces that start off with an exaggerated benefit and then overlook the obvious issues that meaning that benefit will never happen. Aside from the GMO angle, if the contention is that food waste and emissions are a thing, then it would be far more effective to crack down on the way supermarkets sell stuff in quantities that people don't need, e.g. packaging & pricing certain kinds of fruit and veg including bananas in quantities that guarantee food waste.

There's nothing wrong with knowing your own limitations and acting accordingly. Had Mr. Zuckerberg had that sort of self-knowledge, he might have avoided lighting 80-billion-with-a-b dollars on fire and renaming his social media company after a technology that nobody wanted.

Nice lies about raping a girl. Don't forget Trump snitched to the FBI about Epstein, Clinton did not. Biden showered with his daughter and delighted in sniffing girls' hair.

I love press releases which are total bollocks. Such as announcing a genetically modified banana and hypothesizing the carbon savings if the entire world switched over to this banana when that is something that never happen. In fact I wonder how many plantations would be willing to switch over if they and consumers have to bear the cost of this presumably patented and controlled plant. And it's not like with some GMO products which can be produced for domestic consumption where approval is one regulatory hurdle - bananas are grown predominantly for export from tropical countries so there are multiple hurdles. And it's interesting they claim "British shoppers" will enjoy these bananas - since we all know how welcoming the UK and the EU are to genetically modified products.

So last week's "summit" went that well, eh?

Noise, higher electricity and power bills.

So we're going to use an AI to monitor AIs to make sure they're not doing anything naughty? Pretty sure I've seen that movie already...

Not to mention, who exactly pays for Sentry to run? Golly, if some completely random AI hardware manufacturer were to somehow profit off designing and selling a scheme to waste extra tokens on yet another layer of supervision, that would almost look just a wee bit unethical!
