As I wrote above, noone where I work would blink for that kind of stuff, but I guess that doepends on the local culture.
I have looked and couldn’t find the F-Droid definition of NSFW.
But I’ve read bits of the discussion and the whole thing was kinda nuts. By my criterion I’d let the Bible pass, but the way all those people jumped to “So ArE yOu BaNnInG tHe QuRaN aS wElL??!!?” was really embarassing.
I’m surprised.
Noone at my work would blink if they found me carrying, I don’t know, some Clive Barker book.
Most of that kind of content can be found on newspapers now, the state of the world being what it is, and where I work noone I think would object to me reading about that stuff (as long as I don’t do it on the company’s dime).
And I live in Germany which, I hear all the time from across the pond, has all kinds of free speech issues.
Again, I’m not saying I’d let my son read the bible.
I am starting to doubt what people mean by NSFW.
Is the bible not appropriare for children? Some passages are certainly a little tricky, one may fall on one side or the other on the issue, but it’s a discussion that reasonable people might have.
Is it Not Safe For Work? I don’t think so.
What does proselytizing have to do with anything? Is that why porn is considered NSFW?
Will it cause problems if you are caught watching porn on your phone in the cafeteria during lunch break? Yes, unless you literally work at Brazzers.
Are you going to be disciplined for reading the Bible in the cafeteria during lunch break? Well I would hope not.
Most of the objectionable things that can be found on the Wikipedia entry for say, the Waco siege, or some random war reportage.
NSFW did not use to mean “not for minors”. There are plenty of things unsuitable for children that won’t raise anyone’s eyebrow among your colleagues.
Open Office? 2008 called, they want their office suite back.
On my potato powered laptop (mid range thinkpad from 2018) it does not run in real time on the CPU. Particularly if you want to use a decent model, which is needed for my foreign accent.
I would say that quality generally exceeds YouTube, even with the worst model.
It really is not a good look. Even though LibreOffice is still my main choice. And you have to respect the saltiness of a project that was born out of sheer spite for Larry Ellison. But it’s not a good look.
I think that’s a complicated decision.
First, the default format of an office suite is not just the format it saves to. It’s the format used internally by the software. Meaning that its internal classes and data structures follow the file format.
Changing the default file format is a major effort, and if you want to do that you should have just changed the office suite you decided to fork, by starting from Collabora Office instead of OnlyOffice. Which maybe they should have…
But all things considered, I can’t really fault the choice of OOXML as default. This enables them to better support all their existing documents (that’s not nothing) and also better interoperability in mixed spaces.
Even if this were to finally become the default office suite across the Union, it won’t do that overnight, and MS ans EuroOffice will have to coexist at a minimum for a loooong time.
Imagine the management of Fiat not going around in a Panda…
But I mean why? Used in this way, AI systems are just another static analysis tool.
Sure, a computationally inefficient one, but if you can get the signal/noise region high enough, anything that helps you find bugs seems fair game to me.
One has to review their work, and take any fix offered by the slopmachine with a lot of care, of course.
And Anthropic is a bad company, but we are talking about detecting security vulnerabilities in Firefox by wasting Anthropic money. That seems like win-win.
The only downside (and I admit it’s big) is that Anthropic gets some publicity out of this.
They are talking about specific hardware features. Which would of course be great, but you can imagine how they are not exactly at the toppiest toppy top of Fairphone’s priorities, when they are still struggling to be taken seriously by your mainstream Android buyer.
Consider that every hardware features is extra hard for Fairphone, on account of their very specific commitments to materials sourcing, labor practices, and longer term support.
They are a company with a lot of very complicated demands, for a still very low volume of sold devices. They need to pick their battles, and clearly being blessed by the church of Graphene can’t be that high a priority.
My Thinkpad from 2017 keep getting firmware updates through lvfs for like 7 or 8 years. I was pretty impressed actually.
Wilbur, IIRC is the name of the mascot.
Indeed I was not suggesting switching the OS on that device.
But if it quits on you, old thinkpad + Linux will keep you going.
I’m rather concerned about what I do when my Surface Pro 7 dies. I inherited a Chromebook from my dad, but that’s a poor substitute.
Do you need to use Windows? Because any old Thinkpad with Linux Mint will get you through a few years, and performance-wise should be able to handle anything you’re currently doing with your surface. Or hell, I can’t believe I’m saying this, a Macbook Neo.
83% of the searches that happen on PC are done with google and 95% of the searches done on mobile are done with google.
So 12% of users didn’t change the default from Edge with Bing?
Yeah, definition of ragebait.
Yeah, Amazon being less than transparent, shocking, am I right?
I think what you’re finding in Amazon are offers from third party sellers. FP6 is 550 on the official site. Still, if the FP4 is 200€ new it is certainly a contender.
I love my FP4, but my manager just bought himself a FP6 and… I’m envious! It seems ti scratch almost every itch I have with FP4
(screen draws too much power and isn’t bright enough in summer, phone is a bit too large, etc.)
Pity my FP4 won’t stop working anytime soon.
(Actually joking, at almost 4 years, no phone has ever survived this long in my dangerous hands, and I’m so happy about that).
I’d give FP6 serious thought. On the other hand, maybe you can get some great bargain on a used FP4 (FP4 isn’t sold new anymore).
Meh. I would say that if anything deserves an exception, it’s ereaders.
Im my wife’s kindle PW I can replace the battery, and have done that.
But there are simply no new batteries for that kind of device to be found. So then the new battery lasts 20% longer than the old one, and maybe added a year to the device’s life.
Replaceable battery isn’t worth much if you don’t have a reason to believe you’ll be able to source a good one a decade from now.
