AI vs Copyright is like watching two guys you hate get into a massive fist fight. You are kinda hoping they both end up in the hospital.

AI weakening copyright laws will devastate the VPN industry.

One of the hardest things about trying to make my own text editor when I was in high school was vertical motion. I could never quite match Notepad or Word and ended up settling. While I have finally done it.

First gif is the old motion. The cursor would always move to the "longest run of text" that fit within it's current x position. However, Real Text Editors, travel the shortest distance to the next line. This means the cursor can move either forwards or backwards. Additionally, they preserver the "desired position" of the cursor. Meaning if you start at hello wo|rld and move down twelve lines to another hello world, your cursor will stay between wo and rld.

After spending the after noon figuring out things and remembering pitfall traps. I have finally gotten my cursor to move like LibreOffice's :tia_pog:

Gonna have to update my wikithing with my Day 5 for December Adventure cause today is a huge win 😩

C++ 2070 has added <bjarne> to the standard. His consciousness has been translated to C++ templates. This header is required to be included into all usage of C++. If not, his ghost will reach out from your computer screen, strangling you in a fit of rage for not including him in your project.

TIL: cd **/<some-directory> does in fact search for <some-directory> and cds to it. I was curious if it worked and it did, lol. Imma be using that so much.

Godot, you have some how chosen to be worse than JavaScript. Never chose to be worse than JavaScript 🥴

Programming language power efficiency always feels like the tech industry green washing if I'm being honest. It always comes and goes on a pretty predictable year or two cycle.

A data center switching everything to Rust won't use less power than running Java, as the companies running these resources hogging computing warehouses will just use the reduced overhead to further expand their through-put.

Training AI crap will always use astronomical compute resources because they'll use everything they can usurp regardless of language.

@portaloffreedom Instruction unclear, serverless is now in the cloud.

Bro, if I had a dollar for every person and group making a UI/graphics focused library that didn't even show you want the result looked like I'd have to many fucking dollars.

Some folks have made a block programming language for Godot engine:

A paywalled wiki has got to be the gross combo of words I have heard

I have made an awful observation of twemojis: the saluting emoji has the thumb on the wrong side.

Microsoft recall is fucking insane.

Recall snapshots are kept on Copilot+ PCs themselves, on the local hard disk, and are protected using data encryption on your device and (if you have Windows 11 Pro or an enterprise Windows 11 SKU) BitLocker.

Your doing what? Microsoft wh-

Recall uses Copilot+ PC advanced processing capabilities to take images of your active screen every few seconds. [...]

[...] The default allocation for Recall on a device with 256 GB will be 25 GB, which can store approximately 3 months of snapshots. [...]

WHAT WHY NO ST-

Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers. That data may be in snapshots that are stored on your device, especially when sites do not follow standard internet protocols like cloaking password entry.

Microsoft please... th-the tech support scams... think about what happens if this gets bre-

Recall also does not take snapshots of certain kinds of content, including InPrivate web browsing sessions...

Oh, okay I guess that's san-

...in Microsoft Edge.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It treats material protected with digital rights management (DRM) similarly; like other Windows apps such as the Snipping Tool, Recall will not store DRM content.

Ah, but of course. The DRM is protected...

People that act like there are too many programming languages haven't explored enough to realize how empty the bucket is.

Who in the ever loving fuck puts a captcha in front of their fucking blog?
