Byter,

I haven’t fully moved my terminal needs to Emacs (though I’d like to) for the same little niggles you mentioned. Just wanted to recommend another option amongst the good ones already suggested here.

Byter,

I’m not sure I understand your question.

Eat has its own major mode which is used when you open a standalone buffer via the eat function.

When it’s embedded in Eshell it mostly just does the right thing whenever you invoke a command that uses terminal control codes (e.g. htop) – and many of those can be closed with q, yes.

I assume Eat is activated for any program listed in the eshell-visual-commands variable (but I’ll admit I don’t really understand how that works). The notable new minor modes present when I run htop in eshell are Eat–Eshell-Local and Eat–Eshell-Process-Running.

Byter,

Please inform yourself before diminishing others’ plights.

Diarrhoea that is characteristic of coeliac disease is chronic, sometimes pale, of large volume, and abnormally foul in odor. Abdominal pain, cramping, bloating with abdominal distension (thought to be the result of fermentative production of bowel gas), and mouth ulcers[35] may be present.

Coeliac disease leads to an increased risk of both adenocarcinoma and lymphoma of the small bowel

Long-standing and untreated disease may lead to other complications, such as ulcerative jejunitis (ulcer formation of the small bowel) and stricturing (narrowing as a result of scarring with obstruction of the bowel).

Byter,

I have KISS Launcher installed based on a recommendation, though I haven’t used it yet.

Byter,

I’d love a browser-embedded LLM that had access to the DOM.

“Highlight all passages that talk about yadda yadda. Remove all other content. Convert the dates to the ISO standard. Put them on a number line chart, labeled by blah.”

That’d be great UX.

Byter,

Thank you for calling that out. I’m well aware, but appreciate your cautioning.

I’ve seen hallucinations from LLMs at home and at work (where I’ve literally had them transcribe dates like this). They’re still absolutely worth it for their ability to handle unstructured data and the speed of iteration you get – whether they “understand” the task or not.

I know to check my (its) work when it matters, and I can add guard rails and selectively make parts of the process more robust later if need be.

Byter,

I’d ask why they don’t make it optional (I’m not a Brave user) but it seems it was.

Another issue is that Strict mode is used by roughly 0.5% of Brave’s users, with the rest using the default setting, which is the Standard mode.

This low percentage actually makes these users more vulnerable to fingerprinting despite them using the more aggressive blocker, because they constitute a discernible subset of users standing out from the rest.

Given that, I’m inclined to agree with the decision to remove it. Pick your battles and live to fight another day.

That’s the Milwaukee DA. The story leads with Milwaukee but the Ohio pastor being cited was actually in Ohio, specifically Williams County. The DA there is, in fact, a Republican. Though not necessarily a “RepubliQan” as stated.

Byter,

They’re actually correct. The headline is just confusing.

Byter,

Not in the US.

Byter,

Yeah, my S22 Ultra was carrier unlocked but the bootloader was not unlockable.

Byter,

Look for SM-S908U1 specifically. There are a few threads (like this one), but I think most US XDA users were just implicitly aware of how Samsung operated in the US. This was my first device from them and I was caught unawares.

I’m back on Pixel now.

Byter,

I have wanted something like this but didn’t realize it was possible. Thanks for the heads up.

Link for others.

Byter,

They quoted it!

While individuals of legal drinking age may produce wine or beer at home for personal or family use, **Federal law strictly prohibits individuals from producing distilled spirits at home **

Big difference (in safety) between homebrew and moonshine.

Byter,

Fortunately Gaben has only a minor interest in Volvo 😉.

But actually his son is involved in the games industry, and there’s plenty of other like-minded people at Valve. Hopefully the (far) future of Valve is as bright as its present.

Byter,
Byter,

They have said they want to keep a fairly long-term performance target for game devs optimizing for the device. Consoles do the same thing. Another part of that is improving margins over time.

Byter,

Thank you for calling this aspect out. I’m surprised so many people are overlooking it. I protest YouTube for the same reasons, but I’ve got one more to add.

When they merged Google Music into YouTube, the service became worse. I’d often have music streaming throughout the day over my speakers, but that broke after the merge.

Anytime I watched a video on my phone that had Content ID-recognized music in it (even in the background), they would cut the stream to my speakers because I am only allowed one stream with any music in it at all.

This isn’t the behavior when you use the ad supported service. Only the paid.

Not to mention all the proper features of Google Music that didn’t carry forward.

Byter,

If you’re struggling to think of a use-case, consider the internet-based services that are commonplace now that weren’t created until infrastructure advanced to the point they were possible, if not “obvious” in retrospect.

  • multimedia websites
  • real-time gaming
  • buffered audio – and later video – streaming
  • real-time video calling (now even wirelessly, like Star Trek!)
  • nearly every office worker suddenly working remotely at the same time

My personal hope is that abundant, bidirectional bandwidth and IPv6 adoption, along with cheap SBC appliances and free software like Nextcloud, will usher in an era where the average Joe can feel comfortable self-hosting their family’s digital content, knowing they can access it from anywhere in the world and that it’s safely backed up at each member’s home server.

Byter,

I’m also a UBI layperson, but this is my understanding:

Basic incomes don’t need to match or exceed the cost of living to provide some of their purported benefits. One of those benefits is replacing difficult to administer welfare services (of which there are some discussions in this thread). In that way the $2700 per person per year can be more efficiently allocated (towards an ideal national gross prosperity) by the individual.

This might solve issues like the infamous “welfare cliff” that have arisen from difficulties in administration.

New to America USA, how do you socialize and meet new people?

I recently moved to the USA, from the middle east. My English is pretty good, and I don’t have a lot of trouble communicating with people at work or in stores. I also don’t know anyone here at all, outside of work. All my family is still back in Gaza, and I’ve been here over a year now, and still feel cut off from American...

Byter,

You’ve gotten some good answers already but I’d like to stress a point I haven’t seen mentioned: It’s easiest to make friends during downtime. By which I mean, time you spend with another person doing nothing in particular. Shared activities are not bad, but if they are too engaging (work, sport, even worship) there isn’t time to get bored and find entertainment in conversation, wherein you can discover shared interests and build comeraderie.

You’ll find a lot of Americans formed their closest friendships while in school (usually high school or college). I argue that’s because there is a ton of downtime with your peers in those environments. Try to find similar environments where you are effectively “stuck” with a peer for an hour or more at a time. Hiking clubs are fantastic. Beginner art classes. Book clubs.

Beyond that, don’t be discouraged. Some people will have a hard time getting over their own inhibitions about exposing themselves to new people. And many casual friends will fall by the wayside along the way. That is okay. The ones you keep will be worth it in the end.

Byter,
