I literally cannot understand how Outlook is so awful and unpleasant to use. Constant pauses, regular freezes and a search that will show a document I sent to myself five years ago regardless of search terms but won’t surface the perfect match I received yesterday, in the world’s most prominent email client.

The only worse software I have to interact with on a daily basis is Adobe’s PDF reader, which gives me five popups within one minute of opening it and takes over a minute to do a text search in a five page document.

Ah, fair point. When someone says “org-mode” I think of the file format usually, but I guess that’s probably not what colournoun was saying.

But also, apparently Emacs is on android

There are at least two org-mode apps on f-droid

Sorry, works for me on both Voyager and the aussie.zone web interface. No idea what could be wrong

If you’re already in the repo it’s “Watchy 3.0 Review.md”

Potentially relevant for anyone considering a Watchy

The article is written by the computer scientist.

Windows 10 Home Edition famously advertised candy crush in it’s start menu

Gecko doesn’t have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one.

This seems to be the main thrust. GrapheneOS has a hardened WebView, that using a Gecko browser bypasses and adds more attack surface because you still have the WebView.

Outside of Graphene this is less relevant (because of the lack of hardening) and outside of mobile only the isolation comments are relevant, which they note are being improved rapidly in desktop.

Arguments in favour of using Gecko browsers are typically about preventing a single corporation from monopolising web standards, and having continued access to proper ad blockers, things that are not part of Graphene’s focus.

+9 appears to be currently shivving +10, so my money is with them

I may have misunderstood the assignment

Github has recently dramatically reduced what you can do without logging in

You should be able to make continuous fibre-reinforced hot extruder filament, but you would either need to print very specific models or have a cutoff mechanism if you don’t want the mother-of-all-stringing

Glad they were responsive, I’m used to customer support lines just pussyfooting around.

Hopefully they weren’t just trying to prevent you caterwauling

I wonder if the old fan failed due to tin whiskers?

I’ll see myself out

But more importantly, what have you tried and why didn’t they work for you?

That would be a deeply ahistorical argument.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect

AI is a very old field, and has always suffered from things being excluded from popsci as soon as they are achievable and commonplace. Path finding, OCR, chess engines and decision trees are all AI applications, as are machine learning and LLMs.

That Wikipedia article has a great line in it too

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists organization views the AI effect as a worldwide strategic military threat.[4] They point out that it obscures the fact that applications of AI had already found their way into both US and Soviet militaries during the Cold War.[4]

The discipline of Artificial Intelligence was founded in the 50s. Some of the current vibe is probably due to the “Second AI winter” of the 90s, the last time calling things AI was dangerous to your funding

What are you talking about, all of those are banned.
