Hell, 'SpaceSense' and other similar tech enables it with existing wifi radios and a software update.

`list-style-image` seems like a more straightforward solution to the same problem.

Or a negative text-indent, if you want arbitrary content rather than just a tick.

The options are:

* Automatically Follow the system theme

* Lock in the opposite of the current system theme.

If you change a page to light while the system is dark, that page will render light forever. (Or at least until you change the setting again)

> Although with current trends we might instead get a chat bot prompt “tell me how you feel about where you want your files to be”

That almost feels too optimistic. Google Drive already has 'Suggest File Moves' aka 'Tell me where I should want my files to be'.

It tells me I should have a real hatred of any files being in the root directory, and completely disregard sharing and permissions boundaries.

You’re not wrong, though it seems like we’re going to wind up with:

    box-sizing: border-box;
    height: calc-size(auto, round(up, size, 1rlh))
Solving most of the big issues before this will land anywhere.

Australian here, and the differing wording on the site kind of changes my answer. I believe I 'can' but also that I 'wouldn't'.

I'm not worried about theft, but see 'reserving' a seat like that as rude, and 10 minutes as longer than is reasonable.

(Pragmatically – I’m more concerned about having an awkward interaction with a barista that cleared the table and put the laptop somewhere, than about someone stealing the laptop)

The relevant rule from standard chess:

> Leaving one’s own king under attack, exposing one’s own king to attack and also ’capturing’ the opponent’s king are not allowed.

N6 and K8 both expose the black king to attack, so black is not allowed to make those moves. And with no other options, black has no legal move.

And since black isn't in check where they are right now – that's a stalemate.

The author pretended they addressed the obvious criticism.

You can read the skill. They didn't do anything to mitigate the issue, so the criticism is valid.

They have subscription plans for their software, and a seperate billing process for the API. There's nothing to change. 'Accepting that it's a dumb pipe' would just mean removing the Pro & Max plans as options.

Clawdbot was clearly against the Consumer Terms of Use the whole time, they’ve just started actively detecting and blocking it.

600 days is less than two years, while not being one year.

(“Fewer than two years” would mean one or zero years, but… don’t write that)

Apple highlights a different use case than Valve, but the underlying program is equivalent.

They’re both forks of wine ( https://www.winehq.org ) - the game porting toolkit's main addition is that it'll also convert Vulkan shaders to Metal.

Setup is more of a hassle because it's not integrated into Steam, or into the OS as a handler for .exe files, etc. But you can install the Windows version of Steam using the game porting toolkit, and then download & launch windows games from there.

I suspect the main reason they don't want to pitch this as an end-user feature is that it’s dependent on their x86->ARM translation layer, which they probably want to ditch in a few years. But it’s there for now!

Apple’s ‘Game Porting Toolkit’ is basically Proton; they just haven’t made a GUI for it.

Given that people have access to LLMs themselves, publishing their output in lieu of good documentation (no matter how sparse) seems like it’s mostly downside.
