I hate this “feature” but there is always a way to deactivate it in both the web version and the app: you can change the audio track on the settings of the video (e.g. behind the cog icon on mobile)

Thanks for posting this. Been using Linux exclusively for almost 10 years now but I still miss scrolling by clicking the MMB. I have some problems with my fingers so using the scroll wheel is rather unpleasant, yet necessarily, especially when scrolling down slowly and steadily for a long time (e g. while reading/scanning stuff)
Yeah I think most complex and long-term OSS projects have “employed” contributors paid by donations or sponsorships (e.g. Linux, Blender, LibreOffice, …)
I think the benefit of third party AI services is exactly a way around that limited context window. The service can summarize the previous conversations and key facts about the user, store it and feed that back into the AI prompt.
Instead of wasting most of the context window for pages and pages of conversation, it can just prompt the AI with something like “the user is called Timmy, he works as an accountant, he has a girlfriend called Tammy, yesterday he told you that he thinks about proposing.”.
I think even ChatGPT does something like that, but as it’s a very general tool it might not be the best in filtering out information that is relevant for a “personal” conversation.
Yeah that is absurd. I’ve found exactly one comment that is at least not negative.
If a website with old-school passwords gets hacked, the hacker only gets salted hashes of passwords - this does not seem to be much worse?
(Websites that store plaintext passwords surely won’t implement passkeys either…)
You can listen to the recording of each entry by clicking on it. Sometimes it does seem to be only noise but maybe the machine has better hearing than I do…
I mean it’s just copy and paste boilerplate and has nothing to do with the problem so I think it’s pretty accurate…
And yet this thread is full of comments both confidently and cynically proclaiming that it’s totally useless and only there for the lawyers yada yada
W3C lists 1138 separate standards currently, so if each of their three engineers implements one discrete standard every day, with no breaks/weekends/holidays, then having an alpha available that adheres to all 2024 web standards should be possible by 2026?
Yes, that is exactly the plan: “We are targeting Summer 2026 for a first Alpha version”
That really sounds absurd. Both the idea itself and the fact that they somehow screwed up the execution of such a simple thing that much.
Yeah, it’s a common fallacy in appliance brand discussions: “my grandma has a <brand> and it still works! You should buy one, too!”. First of all it’s survivorship bias and almost always the quality has degraded a lot in the past decades (greed and consumers that don’t want to pay the price for reliable appliances).
The meme talks about how millennials DON’T iron anymore
Yeah we’re all stupid, except VW and their software-defined cars. Should we cease to exist now or what are you suggesting?
Thanks for the insight! I just hope that Porto and Lisbon don’t turn into another Paris or Rome…
That’s not really how he himself describes it. His wife became a Christian and after going to church with her he wanted to investigate the backgrounds - he didn’t want to disprove Christianity and was quite open-minded instead:
She invited me to a church, where I heard the Gospel explained in a way I could understand it. While I didn’t believe it, I realized that if it were true, it would have big implications for my life. So I decided to use my journalism experience and legal expertise (at the time, I was legal editor of The Chicago Tribune) to investigate whether there was any credibility to Christianity or any other faith system.
It really is sad. For more than 25 years I’ve been visiting Portugal (so yes, I’m part of the problem…) and every year it gets a bit worse: endless new hotels destroying the beautiful views of the cliffs, villages mostly catering the needs of tourists, …
I just wish I hadn’t told everyone how amazing it is in Portugal 🥲
Beware! This app is an entry drug and soon you might find yourself being heavily invested in OSM, editing more complex data in other apps or on your computer…
A wise choice in this case. It’s 23 paragraphs that mostly describe standard Thunderbird features (as the author usually does not use email clients) and only one list with three (!) bullet points of new features in Betterbird.
Edit: to save you a click, here’s the list from the article (the actual feature list on the project page is longer):
