OpenAI literally has Google connectors to work with your documents. This is meaningless.

It can still be pretty difficult to jump ship for any large corporation, but yeah there’s certainly harder things.

I mean if you write malware “for a good cause” plenty of people will rightfully judge you for subverting their expectations, and the reasoning doesn’t matter thst much. And it’s not like they’re completely in the wrong either.

…but do yoz “understand libraries” by reading every line of their code, or by reading the documentation? And only in the parts you’re actually interested in?

There are even open source tools that do the same thing.

Also, yeah, if something solves a problem, it can be worth it to pay for it even if it’s proprietary.

I don’t think you understand.

If you spoof your resolution and window size to the degree that it’s undetectable you effectively have to render it in that resolution.

Guess how websites make it so that they work on any resolution? They use relative units and whatnot that make it work that way, and all that is detectable one way or another. So you’d have to spoof it all in order to resist fingerprinting - and that is either going to break the rendering, or it’s going to effectively render that website at that resolution, making it a bad experience for regular users either way.

I do wish this was an option for more “normal” browsers, and that they resisted fingerprinting better in some other ways, but you have to make serious compromises to make it work fully.

Soooo you’re not actually arguing for cURL but for bash scripts and potentially something else.

And now you come across all the issues that come with that, like portability, the inevitable messiness of Bash (and the fact that people actually need to learn it unlike a GUI tool that uses simple JS for scripting), and you lose all the convenience of a nice UX and stuff like validation that comes with it.

In other words your argument is about as valid as people who argue that vim is the peak of IDEs and noone ever needs anything else. Which - I really hope - you realize is a bit crazy.

Commissions are perfectly fine as long as they’re upfront about the price and it’s not percentage based. Then you basically just pay for a service / someone’s time.

And title.search is a problem with the government… Civilized countries have national registries of who exactlx owns what, and in the best ones you can freely look it up online, too.

That does not really work for DX… Or collaboration. Or testing. Or documentation.

…and then your websites break, because you actually need to render them correctly.

…or it needs to be your actual window size, too.

There are tens of millions of tech jobs, the vast, vast majority of which is doing boring stuff like running the websites you visit.

…and then in their free time some create platforms like the one you’re on roght now, for free. So the generalization you made therr isn’t that appreciated.

It’s a stupid misdirection. What should be celebrated is the achievement and the trajectory they’re on. This is as if the US finally took renewables seriously, reached at least the global average, and people were like “it doesn’t matter because there are countries that do a 100%”. No - context absolutely does matter.

Hate is maybe the wrong word, but they’re certainly naturally opposed to it. Like a fish is naturally opposed to living on land. It doesn’t hate the land, but if it gets to decide you don’t get any.

Besides their pipelines being miles better, they never wete that great of an alternative.

My point is that institutions like that simply should not exist. They are effectively lobbying groups (if it’s nonprofit / non-governmental organization) or propaganda machines (if established by the people in power).

Neither has any place in democracy.

We don’t need “purpose built” think tanks; we need people with actual experience, with jobs, etc. giving in their 10 cents of expertise when required.

And they should be required only when the governmening bodies are implementing things they have been actually voted in to do. We shouldn’t havr good-for-nothing “government employees” fearing to be out of job creating busywork for themselves that only perpetuates and creates layers upon layers of useless bureaucracy that nakes the average person’s lives worse.

The fact that anyone with any power (and they do have the power to influence politicians, which is more than what your average citizen has) is even suggesting this should absolutely be alarming. It is “only a suggestion” now, and then next time when the politicians vote on it it might be late.

Ahh okay. Well then the issue becomes actually having this DNS server with all the records you need, and serving it to the correct clients - for example you’ll need a different set of records for your LAN and for your VPN.

Although come to think of it since my DNS records are already kinds scripted I could probably fairly easily just script different URLs based on the DNS server I want to serve them from… Maybe worth a try.

I agree it’s a stupid hack, but there are good reasons to use public addresses in your local environment too: for example you’ll need it for any roaming device like a laptop or a phone. It also vastly simplifies certificate management where you can just use sour existing publicly valid certs to access your services.

The only proper solution would probably be ipv6, but that’s not trivial either.

While true, you should also mention that there’s way more ICEs and (more importantly) the way they burn is much, much safer.

You can’t really extinguish lithium fire, it burns way hotter, and it’s more toxic.

Comparatively an ICE car burning is not a big deal; they almost never make other stuff around them burn, and also when they catch on fire it’s pretty much exclusively only when people are still near/in them so there’s A chance to notice it and do something about it.
