Anecdotal, but every company I have worked for has banned using ad blockers, I’m guessing the risk from ads is lower than allowing extensions to read and modify all of your webpage data?

I use them on all of my personal devices.

Voyager, it made it much easier to switch to lemmy after years of using Apollo for Reddit

I can’t name anyone in the company I work for thats had llms revolutionize their job

I’m jealous, my director at a software company has a second laptop just for AI so he doesn’t have to deal with IT and is insistent on using it for every project. One of his annual goals is 100% of his division using AI at least once per day. For every person against AI, there is another who can’t get enough.

I’m confused with this whole thing, isn’t there literally a check box to make it discoverable by search engines that the user has to opt in to? Was that not there before?

JetBrains IDEs have been my preferred for a decade now, I’ve used IntelliJ, WebStorm, Rider, and Pycharm at home and at work, glad to see support from them!

Thats exactly what I am thinking as well

Yeah everything I have read is the performance bump to M5 will be modest at best and all the fun rumored stuff like OLED isn’t coming until at least the M6 models.

My work got me an M4 Pro at the beginning of the year and it has been awesome to use, M4s are definitely super tempting.

I have a 2015 MBP that I was hoping to finally replace in the fall, I guess I can wait a few more months, but this is a huge bummer

It should be noted that Thingiverse’s policy is against “firearms” and not guns in general. The company has no problem with replica props, airsoft guns, sci-fi blaster toys, or gun-like objects that shoot candy.

…

“AI will be used only to flag potentially harmful designs, but a human will always be the one to decide if something should be removed,” Chapman told Tom’s Hardware. If a file is removed from Thingiverse, it will be removed by a person, not a machine.

This was my biggest worry, otherwise I see 99% of removed files just being cosplay props

Reports on Twitter that they are deleting previously purchased games from users’ libraries as well.

I’m switching over to Babbel when my duo subscription lapses in the fall, much less gamified, actual human speakers for the language I want to learn, and they aren’t trying to shovel AI into everything like duo is

Streak addiction is real, I had one Snapchat streak years ago that was over 1500, the person it was with and I would send one snap a day of nothing really just to keep the streak going. It got to the point that the one snap was the only time I communicated with that person, and it was honestly a relief when the streak finally lapsed. I had a few times where I was camping with no signal and would literally go on hikes with no destination just to find phone signal to send my daily snap to them.

Number go up makes monkey brain happy, even when you’re aware of how dumb it is.

Its also worth noting that the service skips end-to-end encryption “to improve speed and compatibility across browsers”, … according to MEGA, files stay encrypted while stored and are only decrypted temporarily in server memory … this model may not meet the needs of users who require strict zero-access encryption.

Oof

Also only free until next year

Takedown requests from Games Workshop are nothing new, though. The company was an early player fighting the sharing of 3D printable models based on its intellectual property (IP) – even those shared for free

So they can turn around and charge ridiculous prices for minis.

GA’s stuff is all cosplay, so it doesn’t even touch that market, you’d think they’d want creators doing stuff like this because that’s how you get new players and fans

I will hold onto my $700 3080 until it spits fire, cannot believe I was lucky enough to get it at launch.

I use Photopea all the time, I love it because the UI is almost an exact copy paste of PS, my only complaint is I wish they had a lifetime license to get rid of that side bar ad, the only options are all subscriptions/monthly. And I know the donate page literally says they don’t do subscriptions, but what else do you call a one time payment for 30 days of ad free?

Ad block works to block the ad, but I haven’t found a way to get that screen space back.

Stop playing for a bit. I’ve played since early beta, I take breaks that usually go from a few months to a few years when I get bored of the game, and it makes me really enjoy and appreciate it when I do finally start playing again.

I saw someone else also suggest it, you could do an automatic fire extinguisher.

This one dispenses after 3-5 seconds of direct flame contact, others will be different.

Quite a lot of Italians use rail travel, at least that’s what it seemed to me when I was there for a few weeks. The trains and stations definitely felt a little dated, especially after I took a few Belgian trains, but they were better than anything available in the states.

I have seen some simple solder equipment and supplies at Home Depot and Lowe’s in the last year, usually with the other electrical wiring and equipment. Of course, you still have to go out to a store and hope that they have something, because I have found both to have unreliable in stock information, but it can’t hurt if you need something same day.
