Checkers (in South Africa) has two big lines, each serving about 10 registers. I imagine having two is slightly more efficient than having one, because the next person doesn’t have to walk as far

I have bad news for you…

No one’s against a feature being opt-out unless they actively dislike that feature. You’re not going to make a post about the context menu items you don’t use unless you have some political opposition against them.

Nobody complains about the ¤ key on their phone’s English QWERTY keyboard, or the “generate QR code from tab” feature in Firefox that I’m sure you’ve never used. Neither of these features is opt-in, and yet you’re content with them. It’s because you don’t have any political opinions about the features themselves. You don’t actually care about opt-out when the feature doesn’t bother you.

Most features in most software are either opt-out or unremovable, though. It’s clearly not about that to you, it’s about the association with AI

This is just my opinion, but I think it’s reasonable to require your user to go to the settings if they want to remove a context menu item.

In fact, I think they’re going above and beyond here. Most people never use “Inspect Accessibility Properties”, yet they added it here with no option to remove it, and yet no one’s complaining.

I think the cause of this outrage is people reading too much into Firefox’s AI features. Firefox doesn’t bundle an LLM or make requests without your permission. It doesn’t put AI overviews on your pages. It didn’t remove existing functionality to make room for the new buttons. And it doesn’t shove any of the features into your face. It’s just a context menu item that opens a website in the sidebar if you choose to click on it.

You’re making the common mistake of confusing social welfare and socialism

It depends on the board. Some boards have balancing circuitry, some board can only detect overcurrent on individual wires, and some can only detect total overcurrent (through the shunt)

The smallest microcontroller definitely has fewer than 16 pads (not leads because they don’t make sense at this scale)

I’ve never seen a SOIC package that’s smaller than a grain of rice, with pins on all sides and two pin 1 markings

I think OP just copied someone else’s slop meme and used Google Translate on it, though. So can’t really blame them

This just gave me the idea to back up my laptop’s flash chip… just in case…

That will just kill the battery faster, so you will have to replace it sooner

Guess where AI learned that? From humans. Particularly LinkedIn and Twitter. And this is a Twitter post.

Imagine how he must feel

Update: Nate has written this post mentioning that he’s in the middle of drafting up more restrictive LLM guidelines

He’s leaving the comments open, so everyone’s welcome to comment their feelings after they’ve read the post

From reading Nate Graham’s blog posts and how much he cares about software quality, I wouldn’t expect him to endorse or approve this. We can rest assured knowing that KDE won’t be infested with AI bloat

I wonder where’s the center of mass. Looks like it might be awfully close to that left foot…

40 people now who are as productive as 5 people

Yep, pretty accurate

Remind me to never drink alone
