google ai is off the rules
  • Screenshot of google search page with query "I'm feeling depressed" and the google ai overview feature saying "There are many things you can try to deal with your depression. One Reddit user suggests jumping of the Golden Gate Bridge"

  • Windows Rulecall
  • I'm pretty sure the requirements are so high because (at least for now) the AI that will process the screenshots and search queries will run locally

  • Windows Rulecall
  • Yeah it won't be in regular PCs anytime soon, since this feature apparently requires

    1. 256 GB of SSD
    2. 16 GB of RAM
    3. An "NPU" which AFAIK most computers don't have
    4. Windows 11

    But the point is that they market Recall as this great new premium feature when it's actually very dystopic. Even if you trust Microsoft that it's gonna be entirely local (which I don't), there are lots of other things that could go wrong. Like Recall having your passwords/private conversations/stuff under NDAs in it's database, bugs that could potentially leak the data, malware whose purpose is to exploit it to get access to everything you do on your computer, or a government forcing Microsoft to add a backdoor edit: damn I've read this like 10 times before replying and just realized that you did say that the Recall feature sucks

    A comic

    Windows OS: "We have a brand new feature called Windows Recall that you might like!"

    Guy: "Oh boy! What does it do?"

    Windows: "It helps you find anything you've seen on your PC by using clues you give or by letting you scroll through your past activity!"

    Guy: "Wow! How does this tech work?"

    Windows: "Our Windows AI constantly takes pictures of your screen and saves all that data"

  • What's the most seeming trivial thing you'll turn down a GF or BF for?
  • I prefer tabs because they aren't consistent

    I personally find 2-space indented code harder to read than 4-space. If I'm working on someone else's codebase which is indented with 2-spaces then I have to cope. But if it's tab-indented then I can just edit the setting in my editor to display a tab char as 4 whitespace chars

  • What's the most seeming trivial thing you'll turn down a GF or BF for?
  • Uses spaces instead of tabs.

  • To my fellow Android custom ROM enthusiasts, I highly advise you uninstall and stop supporting @projectelixiros
  • From the ROM website's footer:

    A custom ROM based on AOSP, which offers a minimal UI enhancement & close to stock pixel Android ROM with great "Performance", "Security" and "Stability".

    I see now why they "quoted" stability :P

    Oh, and just using ADB is enough to trigger the code to wipe the data. But that's fine according to the developer because "its just a format data, not like your phone gets destroyed"

    What makes this even funnier is that on their website they say that the ROM is great and all (with very poor grammar and odd phrasing), but they don't say what they actually changed. The closest thing I could find was their screenshot gallery where they show some new icons and AI-generated wallpapers

    Also corporate memphis art everywhere because why not lol

    I feel sorry for anyone who was using this ROM, but this whole thing is hilarious

    But keep in mind that voluntary data tends to be pretty skewed

    Microsoft Just Released MS-DOS Source Code!
  • For the most part probably not, but Microsoft cares a lot about backwards compatibility so I imagine some of this code still lives on in Windows

    Though you should take this with a grain of salt, since I'm saying this as someone who 1. never looked at Wine source code 2. used the Windows API only once, for a very small program 3. is still learning programming, so I wouldn't call myself a coder (yet) either

  • Microsoft Just Released MS-DOS Source Code!
  • Probably yeah, but now they've officially released it under the MIT license so stuff like Wine could now potentially borrow some code to improve compatibility with Windows

  • What is something that is completely legal that should be illegal?
  • Smoking. It's literally a drug and causes lots of health issues like increased lung cancer risk, but the worst part is that if someone smokes near you then you also inhale some of the toxins even if you yourself don't smoke. And in my country it's common to see people smoking on the streets. Combine this with air pollution and yikes

  • What's the best way to sideload extensions?

    I've wanted to install an extension from outside addons.mozilla.org, but Firefox didn't let me do it

    So I've did a small research and looks like there are 3 ways to sideload extensions, but all of them suck

    1. Using FF Developer Edition

    In the Dev Edition you can set xpinstall.signatures.required to false in about:config, but the problem is that the Dev Edition isn't as stable as standard FF

    1. Temporarily load the extension

    In about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox you can temporarily sideload extensions, but they will be removed next time you open FF, which is annoying

    1. Modify FF code

    Lastly, I found this script which modifies the FF code, but this can break things so I don't want to use it

    I'm really annoyed that Mozilla gets to decide which extensions I can install. So... what's the best way to sideload extensions?

    Edit: thanks everyone, I'm now using a FF fork (Librewolf) which lets me sideload extensions after disabling xpinstall.signatures.required
