Proof of work seems to be working pretty well for many websites.

And?

Lots I disagree with in this article, but I agree with the message.

On another note, I found this section very funny:

Disgraced cryptocurrency swindler Sam Bankman-Fried, for example, once told an interviewer the following, thereby helpfully outing himself as an idiot.

“I would never read a book…I’m very skeptical of books. I don’t want to say no book is ever worth reading, but I actually do believe something pretty close to that. I think, if you wrote a book, you fucked up, and it should have been a six-paragraph blog post.”

Extend his prison sentence.

Communicate securely with WhatsApp? That’s an oxymoron.

I do wonder, are seeing more hate, more fear and less freedom because there is more hate, more fear and less freedom, or are we seeing these things because they are now no longer deleted, and there is the same amount of it?

Either way there is no fix for facebook and other facebook owned platforms. Get rid of this shit.

I said that on the interview for the job I’m currently working. Sure I didn’t it with those exact words, but pretty much. Guess it worked.

That’s not true for all Portuguese speakers. Most brazilian northeasterners don’t use it as you described, as it’s unnecessary.

Edit: The way I would say the sentences above:

“Pra meu pai”
“Sou filho de meu pai”

When I was 10, I moved to another country and started studying in an international school. I essentially only spoke Portuguese (my mother tongue) with my parents and my brother, which meant I was fully immersed in English for a huge chunk of my formative years.

English isn’t technically my mother tongue, but it might as well be. I write better in English than I do in Portuguese, because that’s the language I wrote in in school. My Portuguese is flawless, and nobody would ever say that is isn’t my mother tongue, but in some situations my English is just better. I consider myself to have two mother tongues, even though I’m technically an ESL speaker.

I have also not been able to replicate my level of English in other languages. I’m fluent in German, and I have no difficulty with any aspect of the language, be it reading, speaking, writing or listening, but it’s really clear that it is not my mother tongue.

I’m just surprised they weren’t before.

“Young Chinese women have small fingers,” the article reads, “and that has made them a valuable contributor to iPhone production because they are more nimble at installing screws and other miniature parts in the small device, supply chain experts said.”

Fucking what? Who are these supply chain experts? Did you pull them out of your ass?

This reads like AI. I’ve lost any speck of respect I still had for NYT.

I like the expression, but cashews are not nuts.

Msys2 was not created for devops, I just happen to be a devops engineer who uses it. Their websites describes it as:

MSYS2 is a collection of tools and libraries providing you with an easy-to-use environment for building, installing and running native Windows software.

Because it makes software building, packaging and distributing as simple aand standardised as it is on Linux, it means they effectively have a very good CLI on their hands. On my work laptop, I now use WezTerm with fish shell and helix editor for my workflow, and live in the terminal. Would this be possible to do without msys2 or wsl? Yes, but it would be a huge pain.

I was in the same boat as you, except that I came to the conclusion it was worth paying for. Then perplexity came out, and that decision was a little harder to justify, but I stuck with kagi.

Then my ISP gave me a year of perplexity pro along with my internet speed upgrade. As much as I hate AI tools being everywhere, some of them are good, and Perplexity pro is one of them. Now that I’ve tried it, I think it’s worth it to the point that I’d pay for it even if my ISP didn’t give me the subscription.

I could never figure out how to set it up a sort from the one with Git.

That’s because the one provided with git is a nerfed version of msys2. If you install msys2 as a standalone thing from their website, you get everything you need for a functional CLI on windows. Most importantly, you get a real package manager and decently populated repositories.

I’ve recently started using windows again for work, after not touching it for like 15 years, msys2 makes it tolerable.

I’m a devops engineer, and my company won’t allow me to use WSL. Go figure.

Here at sopuli.xyz the admin seems pretty light on defederalising.

I know exactly what they UN is, and my comment reflects that.
