lol I still have a screenshot of Digg from when every article on the home page had this key in it.


They sold Google Domains to Squarespace.
I used to use Dogpile a lot in the late 1990s. Coincidentally it was a similar idea to this and SearxNG - it was a meta search engine that combined Yahoo, Lycos, Excite, AltaVista and a few others into one interface (no Google since it wasn’t in widespread use yet).
It’s not like gtk3 is suddenly out of use.
That’s true, however the GNOME maintainers will drop support for it at some point. I guess Cinnamon or xfce could maintain their own forks, however the majority of apps target what GNOME is currently using given it’s the most popular desktop environment.
I’m not familiar with this app, but what do you mean “gnomed”? Do you mean the UI started using Gtk4 and Adwaita components?
Gtk3 is considered legacy now, so most apps that use Gtk will be transitioning to Gtk4 (and Adwaita) at some point. Gtk3 is starting to look a bit outdated in modern DEs.


The Teslas that are made in China are noticeably higher quality than the ones made in the USA. Fewer panel gaps and better fit and finish.
The only reason Teslas are decent quality is because the majority of them are made in China. Over 50% of Teslas are made in China, using over 90% local (Chinese) parts.


No one will pay much for it because it’s about to need a $15,000 battery,
That’s pretty rare though. Less than 5% of EVs need a battery replacement after 10 years (including those with defective batteries), and modern EV batteries should last at least 20 years, after which they’re still estimated to have around 65-70% capacity.


What if the drafts were created using AI too?
Code is often in a source control system of some sort, which tracks changes to the code (who changed it, when it was changed, and a description of what was changed). It’s similar to having a lot of drafts.
I don’t think that could prove that a human wrote it, though.
I think in cases like this, the author could prove they created the code/story/art/whatever by having a deep understanding of the material. That’s how Michael Jackson defended against lawsuits saying he copied someone else’s song - he described his songwriting process and could hum/beatbox every instrument in the track.
I like scaled sort. It sorts posts by popularity relative to the size of the community, so that the feed is a mixture of both popular communities and small ones. It also seems more likely to include newer posts (eg I saw this post in my scaled feed).


A lot of these devices are Ethernet-only to simplify things. Ethernet is more reliable, people that use KVM/IPMI for remote management usually use it via Ethernet, and it means they don’t need to bundle wifi drivers with their OS. Also, some of them are powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet) to avoid needing a separate power cable.
You could plug it into a cheap wifi bridge to make it wireless.


It wasn’t a dox attempt though. The blog just collected information that was already publicly available on other sites.


In this case, their CAPTCHA page intentionally included code to DoS a particular blog, sending a request to search for a random string every 300ms (search is very CPU-intensive). This was regardless of the archived site you were trying to view.


This is understandable, but at the same time, none of the anti-paywall lists are as good as archive.today. They actually have paid accounts at a bunch of paywalled sites, and use them when scraping.


Discord doesn’t get as many clicks compared to the larger companies, since fewer people know about it. For articles like this, news publishers always list the most well-known brands.


I don’t think 2008 really had a significant effect in Australia. I don’t remember hearing much about it.


I think people don’t realise that if AI fails, it’s pretty much guaranteed to collapse the US economy.


How does this differ from every other distribution method, though? You can just as easily do something malicious with an Appimage or Debian/rpm package.


If you want to share something with just some people, they can create a Tailscale account and you can share it with them that way.
For public access, accessing it using a domain that uses your public IP should work. Most routers let you do that (“hairpin NAT”). Although to be honest, most of my public facing things are on a VPS rather than on my home server. More reliable and a higher quality internet connection for a fairly cheap price per month.
It’s the default on Messenger so I’m not sure why it wasn’t made the default on Instagram.
