The mitigation mechanism is moderators like dang who manually intervene

It's not perfect, but it ain't nothing

Oddly enough, I'm colorblind and I have had the worst time with color schemes. Many are completely unreadable and lack sufficient contrast. Others I just don't like

So, I've started using AI models to generate color schemes for me.

Take an unreadable theme I like and generate one that is high contrast and still coherent. It's probably not good enough for a full spectrum vision person to use but wow has it improved my quality of life.

It wouldn't surprise me if this is exactly the type of problem that is solved in the same way for the rest of you

The biggest issue with it is that watching a few videos in a row will result in YouTube soft blocking your IP for an hour or so. They're really cracking down on watching videos without a login

The difference is that, in the west, there's an acceptable counter narrative. I can tell you that Ruby Ridge and Waco never should've happened and were examples of government overreach and massacre of it's own citizens. Or <insert pet issue with the government here>

You can't with Tiananmen square in China

What's actually going on here is the Unix Philosophy applied to more and more platforms.

Previously, if you wanted to rig up a screen recording app in a few minutes you'd use Linux and specifically one of the minimal desktop environments like i3 or sway. Then you'd wire up a few command line utilities (slurp, wf-recorder, etc) and get the exact experience you want. These small unix tools allowed the greater ecosystem to just cobble together what they wanted without too much hassle. I've done exactly this!

This is the exact mindset that keeps people away. They'd prefer to NOT maintain their own video recording software THANK YOU VERY MUCH. So you get people who go to Mac OS because there's always a slick solution for a couple bucks and you never have to be TOO fiddly.

This doesn't destroy the market for people in the latter camp, but it DOES open up the market for people in the former.

Sure, people are free to believe whatever. I am quoting the very scripture they claim to believe though and so it would be hypocritical to do otherwise

The term we have for those folks is that they're doing "easy-believism" and it's broadly a pitfall within Christianity. It's not considered normative to so heavily lean on grace in the way that you're describing

You've been dealing with the wrong folks then because all Christians should believe what James says when we says

James 2:14-20, 26 (NET) What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can this kind of faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm and eat well,” but you do not give them what the body needs, what good is it? So also faith, if it does not have works, is dead being by itself. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith without works and I will show you faith by my works. You believe that God is one; well and good. Even the demons believe that – and tremble with fear. But would you like evidence, you empty fellow, that faith without works is useless? For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

Nah, this is just the No True Scotsman fallacy. San Francisco is FAR more left in their politics than most of the nation. For example, the new mayor described himself as:

> As a lifelong Democrat and San Franciscan, I am running for mayor to turn around the city I love

London Breed, the mayor before, was endorsed by explicitly Democrat or nonpartisan individuals (including Kamala Harris)

We could go on. What's ironic here is that this comment just reveals how disconnected this form of left wing politics is from the larger nation. They call even examples of the politics of their own "right wing" because they're so radically left

Yeah, most of those real gaps have been solved at this point. I'd encourage you to give it a shot now with Avahi

I'm reminded of a rather unpopular statement made by Mark Shuttleworth

> Don’t trust us? Erm, we have root. You do trust us with your data already. You trust us not to screw up on your machine with every update

By using Windows, you're impicitly trusting Microsoft and every update they make and that it won't screw things up. If you've somehow stuck around past the integrated ads, screwy install process that forces you to have an online account, and the thousands of other papercuts then you shouldn't be surprised to find some other user hostile move has taken place.

Good luck with that I guess

People just aren't used to how LLMs and their tools are developed

Depending on the time of the year you can expect fresh updates from any given company on how their new models and tools perform and they'll generally blow the competition out of the water.

The trick is to either realize that your current tools will just become magically better in a few months OR lean in and switch companies as their tools and models update.

> If the defaults are fine for a use case then unless I want to tune it for personal interest it’s either a poor use of my fun time or a poor use of my clients funds.

It doesn't matter if you've crippled the benchmark if the performance of both options still exceeds your expectations. Not all of us are trying eek out every drop of performance

And, well, if you are then you can ignore the entire post because Redis offers better perf than postgres and you'd use that. It's that simple.

It's a great browser, but sadly my 2fa keys don't work with it. Looking forward to the day the underlying engine adds support
