Paradox

Already been doing this, but I think this will finally light the fire under my ass to move to a boox device for all my reading I've got the big boox, which I use for sheet music, and quite like it, so the smaller ones are no brainers

I almost wish Elon would buy it, so he can "manage" it like he did Twitter

Sweet. Time to enable this right away. Been using privacy pass for a while now, and quite like it. Same can be said for kagi

Funny, I find the BBC unable to accurately convey the news

They've been censorious for over a decade. It's just the old target was "acceptable" to most denizens of reddit and similar social media. Now that the censors are expanding their reach, we see umbrage? Come on now. This was inevitable

Back before they went "independent," kind of. When Sears sent legal threats to take down a post exploiting an xss bug to make a joke about grilling babies, reddit had a big public discussion on it, and ultimately left the post up

Gears 5 is still a tour de force of how to do a modern game. It's got cosmetics, customization, an acceptable (but not great) story, decent PvP, and imo the absolute best PvE. Nothing has managed to dethrone horde in 5+ years

I'd still say the Gears franchise owns the shooter coop throne. Every game in the series supports at least 2 player, with 3 & judgement being 4 player, and 5 being 3 player. And they go out of their way to make coop different than regular campaigns too; there are several points, usually one in each level, where you have to split up

What do you think the closed beta was for? It was so they can get in and get on the moderator roster

Very large part of why I moved away to kagi. It just works.

Additionally, it's system of weighting, instead of just a binary block, is very useful. Take fandom wikis for example. They're awful, yes, but sometimes they're the only result for a topic, and will do if needed. With a binary block list, you either see them or you don't. With the weighted system, you can downrank them, so if better results show up, they appear higher in the listing than the downranked ones

Can I download their model and run it on my own hardware? No? Then they're inferior to deepseek

I wish more people would hold Sam Altman's feet to the fire, hold him to some semblance of accountability. Because the man has made an entire career of failing upwards, from launching a short lived startup that imploded, to suddenly becoming president of ycombinator, to suddenly being worth billions of dollars, and literally paying people in the third world (with monopoly money, of course) for their eyeballs

Oh and there's the whole thing where he might have molested his kid sister, which is always seemingly glossed over

Even Ed Zitron, who isn't afraid to go after someone (see his articles about the guy who destroyed Google search) seems to handle Sam with kid gloves
