- Comment on Anti-Palestinian Billionaires Can Now Control What TikTok Users See 2 days ago:
for non-chinese
or for Chinese that don’t want to be censored?
Most platforms have some kind of moderation. But I’m sure a Chinese platform will be quite selective about a particular set of topics and themes.
- Comment on TikTok Deal Done And It’s Somehow The Shittiest Possible Outcome, Making Everything Worse 3 days ago:
I think Xitter is the better example. It had a very sharp worsening as a platform, and yet, somehow, still remains very relevant.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 days ago:
Quoting the quote from the article (so it’s more obvious and accessible here):
The Indie Game Awards have a hard stance on the use of gen AI throughout the nomination process and during the ceremony itself. When it was submitted for consideration, a representative of Sandfall Interactive agreed that no gen AI was used in the development of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. In light of Sandfall Interactive confirming the use of gen AI art in production on the day of the Indie Game Awards 2025 premiere, this does disqualify Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from its nomination. While the assets in question were patched out and it is a wonderful game, it does go against the regulations we have in place. As a result, the IGAs nomination committee has agreed to officially retract both the Debut Game and Game of the Year awards.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 3 days ago:
I didn’t even think of full-screen applications having to relayout. It’s not like every screen is the same size or dimension, either.

I had no idea the 50 years after death was the minimum and some countries add more years :O
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 4 days ago:
Why would applications have to consider relayouting? Isn’t that entirely in the hand of the Windows taskbar?
It shows the window groups, windows, pops over previews of windows or tabs in a consistent style, presumably owned by the taskbar itself. At no point do applications themselves control their positions or size in the taskbar or the taskbar popovers.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 4 days ago:
The taskbar items can’t have a constant width. Your whole taskbar layout changes when you change a tab in Firefox. You have to open a set of programs from right to left, because any other order will change the positions of the items you want to click.
When not combining windows, in Windows 10 you could order them to your preference and usefulness. Now, you’re stuck. Even when not combined, the items are combined in one block, and you can’t order them within the block either.
- Comment on Apple announces more ads are coming to App Store search results 5 days ago:
I guess they’re not taking their big cut on app revenue to offer a good neutral platform.
How can they justify 100/300 + 30% if not with a moderated neutral platform?
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers 6 days ago:
That’s only musk though. Hardly “was undeniable fact”.
Remember when it was an undeniable fact that most cars would be driving entirely by themselves by now?
- Comment on No AI* Here - A Response to Mozilla's Next Chapter - Waterfox Blog 6 days ago:
They fear falling behind other browsers and losing users because of it.
They see AI prevalence and see it as an opportunity to profile and position Mozilla as a leader in “ethical ai”.
They see AI use cases and success and think they have to integrate it to have additional, useful, significant features.
- Comment on Marco Rubio bans Calibri font at State Department for being too DEI 1 week ago:
Unfortunately, it’s proprietary licensed. I was wondering if there was an opportunity for protest use, but that’s difficult with restricted licenses.
- Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux 1 week ago:
I was confused by seeing DisplayLink there, but couldn’t fully place them, and Wikipedia made me think they may be using HDMI and have an interest in keeping it inaccessible to sell their products and services.
- Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux 1 week ago:
AMD is part of the forum but can’t get them to accept their own open source driver. I guess we can’t shame all of them in one.
Sad.
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 1 week ago:
We kinda have that already
Some frameworks/standard libs do support that, making use of OS webrendering capabilities.
For example MAUI WebView
WebView uses different browser engines on each platform to render web content:
- Windows: Uses WebView2, which is based on the Microsoft Edge (Chromium) browser engine. This provides modern web standards support and consistent behavior with the Edge browser.
- Android: Uses android.webkit.WebView, which is based on the Chromium browser engine. The specific version depends on the Android WebView system component installed on the device.
- iOS and Mac Catalyst: Uses WKWebView, which is based on the Safari WebKit browser engine. This is the same engine used by the Safari browser on iOS and macOS.
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 2 weeks ago:
I guess the prices give us a new kind of issue ticket template; “new RAM is to expensive for me, please consider optimizing”
- Comment on The Supreme Court Is About to Hear a Case That Could Rewrite Internet Access 3 weeks ago:
accused of repeat copyright infringements
Does this court determine whether this concrete accusation against a person holds as well, or does this court determine whether an accusation is enough?
- Comment on The Supreme Court Is About to Hear a Case That Could Rewrite Internet Access 3 weeks ago:
Is that the conclusion? I thought that’s still under investigation. I remember reading about it months after the first reports.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 3 weeks ago:
It’s sad how huge companies are basically their CEO. CEO makes decisions and talks - that’s the company. Even if the hundreds and thousands of workers below them [largely] disagree and would do differently.

Linking with a timestamp to the end of the video (no more honking) is quite the comedic turnaround

Exactly, one of the ways. And it’s a bandaid that doesn’t work very well. Because it’s probabalistic word association without direct association to intention, variance, or concrete prompts.

They link to it in the article, but for visibility, the resignation of Japanese SUMO community lead, contributor of 20 years. They voice their concrete issues.

Entirely Google’s fault. Their prevalence and search ranking decisions.

- Comment on Gmail users warned to opt out of new feature - what we know 4 weeks ago:
I mean… Just don’t use Google services!?
What kind of guide or in depth are you looking for? It’s a broad field. Google covers a lot.
- Comment on Gmail users warned to opt out of new feature - what we know 4 weeks ago:
Google extended their Smart features with AI. It can be disabled in the settings, personally if you haven’t already.
I visited Gmail earlier today, and it gave me onboarding with information and the choice of enabling or not. I’m in the EU, dunno if that makes a difference.
