Out of curiosity if Kitty works well for you what would be the reason to switch to Ghostty? I've never tried Kitty before but now want to see what it's like since it seems quite advanced.

I just want Google Docs to properly support Markdown. Everything else after that.

No one here seemed to understand your question, which is one I had too. Probably because no one but the board have the answer.

My guess is you can expect a stock price crash if your founder-star CEO moves away from HQ? It would mean tech stocks behave quite differently from e.g. Starbucks. Also seems like a literal chicken race since Mark would be affected even more than the board if that happened on top of everything else.

I guess most likely is they just needed a reason of some sort to report to the SEC so that's what they used. Much nicer sounding than Mark threatening to replace the board, or the board are obviously his puppets, or anything else that happens at a founder-controlled (via low-vote shares) company.

This made me wonder and checking rotten tomatoes, those are indeed some high scores. Time seems to be an exception and everything it said makes sense to me as someone who hasn't watched it.

Don't worry too much, while a certain sphere will watch this movie I doubt "most people" will watch it. Personally I won't watch it only since it's been a long time and I have no interest in this topic anymore. I suspect this will be common.

> means "LLM cheating" is going to be a serious problem to be solved before we'll trust them with anything meaningful.

Would have been great if this was solved before anyone started trusting them with anything meaningful.

> There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.

If my blog got DoS'd from HN was remotely close to any of these, would be perfectly normal but as it stands this is exactly why gatekeepers are perhaps inevitable, but should never be reveled.

Did anyone read the paper or just decide to respond based on mostly racist preexisting bias?

This isn't even a research paper really, it is a survey paper that just looked for other papers. One point stood out a lot

> All but one survey from the 2020s were online surveys

This is already bias let alone what bias may be within each survey which isn't fleshed out in the linked paper. I wouldn't be surprised if at least one survey was run on NicoNico or similar platform.

The adult video industry continues to thrive and P2P just grows, including reaching sex tourism status thanks to the cheap yen, in both directions if looking at the growing denied entries to Japanese hostesses.

Sorry if you have some anime based preconception that Japanese people are pure or something but they are normal, and not Christian. Japanese people still have sex, look into the real facts.

Yes the current administration is generally responsible and yes they have caused a lot of problems. But can't we be clear this is primarily an Elon problem? No way of knowing but I would be surprised if in a timeline where Elon backed Harris and got her the win, DOGE would not have happened with similarly little impact.

I know many people in big tech that complain about the administration and drive a Tesla to work. People with plenty of wealth to change cars etc if willing. They enabled DOGE.

> Firefox is slow again

Currently I am feeling this too but only for one site, GitHub. Which is where is spend most time during the day...

Quite sad, I don't know if it's GitHub's fault or not but Firefox needs to figure out what's going wrong here soon or people like me may be literally forced to Chromium.

This was my first and naturally last experience with Gemini maybe around 2.5 or 3.0. Impressive they can keep up the consistency this well.

I would love to use GrapheneOS but Google Pay is a requirement for me. Platform is a moat, and I think the above comments about Harmony solidify that if your country has the will to create a home grown platform, it can happen. I don't think any other country would be able to make that work (maybe AI changes things dunno)

It felt very marketing rather than technical to me. Sorry fallen was probably too baitworthy, shift in role / priority probably but either way, it wasn't a fun read for me. Thanks for asking though!

> I say that doesn't logically compute.

Not sure it's logical but I would say there are millenia of history to show the trend, and more so there is no logic or evidence to show American freedom has been in good faith (many were slaughtered satisfying manifest destiny).

FWIW I'm not anti-America. But I am anti-idealist (and as above, I see no reason to believe America idealist) since there is nothing to show ideals actually hold up. For humans to live together, it's better to acknowledge this and create "logical" frameworks rather than rely on idealism.

Right I didn't read too much into the word "initiative", the ICC would obviously not exist if the US didn't want it to (the UN wouldn't exist if they didn't want it to, let alone want a tool for leverage) so of course it wasn't established specifically to target the US. So the poster was mostly talking about using it as a tool against the US now, not from founding, was my reading. Basically I can only see my own comment acknowledging American hegemony as "americacentric" (the current world was created by america), not the original one. Was there something else you meant?
