Lol, on a default Windows install you can have 5 different MS apps with different size borders, title bars and controls. Even two different control panels, each with haphazard conflicting UI elements within them. I think it's kind of insulting to put "open source UI" in 4th position because I see a lot more effort and thought going into it that in many proprietary apps (jeesus just look at the average app on a mobile device)

@CarbonCarrot @bagder Curlinator 2: When curl can download files from the past and the future?

@bagder Sounds like a great premise for a scary movie!

@magicalgirlsabrina We didn't know what we had.

@juliank my feelings when watching it exactly. I mean, the shots are beautiful, so are the special effects, but they don't have Sisco, Dax and Odo so what's the point.

We do know that the very large majority of proprietary software ends up with zero maintainers.

@bagder I'd guess it's about the same on non-open-source projects?

@CollaboraOffice European, Asian, African... there should be multiple good options across the world, not single shitty selections from the US.

@samw Hmm, I wonder if analogue audio will degrade less over twisted pair

@danderson licenses doesn't seem to matter all that much anymore. All you need to do is process it by any means, then you call that process an AI and then you just claim it's AI created. At least that's what the big corps are doing.

@jmtd @ttyS1 Same here, the problem with the Switch is, every time I switch it on it wants to do updates, and then when I launch my game, it wants to install updates for the game and then I just say fuck it and put it back in its case.

Code and the dataset to replicate the main findings of this study are available in the Chang Lab's public GitHub repository"

Ooh wonder if I can use it to make my dog talk!

It's a tiny little laptop from the mid 2000s meant to be used by children. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classmate_PC

A little bit of escapism for today... will NetBSD install on this old Classmate PC?

I have never seen such a thorough roasting of MAGA conservative self-loathing gay homophobes before, these ladies don't hold back!

@mattl I just can't manage to understand why a nation can tolerate having health care linked to employment, it's just so nonsensical.

@georgetakei They sign all their rights away willy nilly. And then bad things happen. There's a lesson to be learned there for everyone.

Israel killed more than 400 people overnight as part of their genocide in Gaza. Absolutely disgusting.

First time I ever get a recall on a vehicle. Also, I'm surprised that anyone out there cares about the safety on a 19 year old car.

I guess since it's so life threatening, I should be thankful that my airbag hasn't killed me yet.

@vkc I'm counting on it and ready to fight them. I'm not going to spend a single second making things more comfortable for those motherfuckers.
