That’s possible, I’m using Firefox, is that something firefox would do?

The site does use https for me… it instantly redirects from http to https

My point is, since its meaning depends on the context, I don’t see the issue for it to mean, in the context of containers, “outside of a container”. Just like in the case of VMs, or OS vs No OS, it means there’s one fewer layer between the app and the hardware, whether that’s a VM, Container runtime, or the OS.

I’m pretty sure everybody, including you, understood its meaning in this context, it didn’t really cause any misunderstanding.

That’s only the meaning you’re used to, and that’s my point. It depends on the context. I can assure you that, in the context of microcontrollers, for example, “bare metal” means running without an OS.

Well, since we want to be technical … Docker is not bare metal. Linux apps are not bare metal. Arduino is bare metal.

I still run it on a 10 year old chromebox (replacing chrome with linux of course). It’s really not that heavy. If it seems very slow, I’d try rebuilding the database from a dump (if mysql/mariadb), and making sure the db is on a fast drive. At least, those two things made a huge difference for me. Also, some people reported huge speedups switching to postgres.

Thanks for the detailed response, I’ll have to double-check some of these. It seemed strange to me that everybody called her a transphobe based just on that tweet I remembered, and on a statement she put on her website that didn’t seem that transphobic to me, but if all you say is true, then yeah, she definitely is.

so it’s crazy to me that JKR is now liking and retweeting statements from nationalists and the far right.

Is she though? Do you have a link? I really want to get clarity in this whole JKR situation. The only thing I remember is her tweeting something of the like “we used to have a word for ‘people who menstruate’ in the English language, what was it?” which I can see how it can sound transphobic, but all it’s really saying is that since the word “woman” now includes trans women, the English language now lacks a word for people being born female. She later said she is not tranphobic, and has (had?) many trans friends, but do think trans women are not the same as cis women, which doesn’t really seem all that transphobic to me, so maybe I missed something else she said.

Based on the above, and the fact that all her books are pretty woke, as you say, I always assumed it was a bad misunderstanding, but I’d really want to see if she doubled down on some objectionable view.

I just took some time to watch that video, and that seems to say “Yes” instead. Yes, they started as a non-profit, with a for-profit arm, and Yes, the for-profit arm is now trying to sell out in an IPO to (guess what) make more money. And while they are distinct entities, there’s some of the same people on the board for both, who are likely going to profit.

it’s not. They do have a commercial product they use to fund their operation, in addition to donations, but that doesn’t make them a for-profit company.

Is that an actual for-profit company controlled by the non-profit wikimedia foundation, or just a way for the foundation to make money to run its operations? My understanding is it’s the latter, unlike Mozilla and now Raspberry Pi. See here:

Wikimedia Enterprise is a product of the Wikimedia Foundation, with content created by volunteers around the world.

A nonprofit doesn’t have to rely exclusively on donations to fund its operarions.

Didn’t they start as a non-profit? But I guess, as someone I know used to say, there’s one god everybody worships: the money god.

Technically, no, iRobot and Amazon “mutually agreed” to terminate the deal, most likely cause the EU probably wasn’t going to approve, but:

1. The EU was set to deliberate in mid Feb, so they didn’t (yet)
2. It’s also possible that Amazon used the likely rejection of the EU as an excuse to back out of a deal they didn’t want anymore

I don’t know which one it is, but if Amazon wanted to close, they would’ve been willing to make concessions to the EU to get their approval, rather than backing out.

My understanding is that this dialog won’t appear if you update apps from f-droid or other 3rd party store, but only if:

1. The app was installed from one store (or just the play store, not sure), and
2. You are now trying to update the app by downloading an apk from somewhere else (e.g. a browser)

That would normally fail because the signatures don’t match, but I guess there are places, like apkmirror, where you can find apks that are signed by the original developer (and so, they are authentic and 100% safe), but then google will give you a warning that you might not receive updates and such.

At least, that’s my understanding. A tiny bit annoying, but not a big deal.

There are rumors that it could come without a steering wheel or any pedals to lower costs

Ehm what? Full self driving (and self crashing)??

Said another way: if a company offering a password manager can recover all your passwords with you just clicking “forgot password”, that means they can read your passwords in plain text (and so can hackers if the company gets hacked).

Yes, there are a lot of legitimate users for this AI technology, and writing a meaningful product listing title from (say) a longer product description, maybe in a different language, seems fine to me. Even using trademarked names could be ok, if the product sold has them (e.g. “mini pc with Intel ™ processor”).

The fact that they are generated and used without anybody even looking at them is highly suspicions, of course…

I just checked amazon and searching “OpenAI policy” or anything the like yields no results. I guess they got taken down?

Sometimes it feels like that ;) I’m sure there are cases where it’s the other way around

If your house, like mine, was all set up for a gas range and a gas oven, why would it have a 240v outlet (and yes, the house was built in the 50s, but it’s on the west coast). But of course, houses that are all wired for electric ranges, maybe not even have a gas line at all, like some apartment I lived in the past, will already have a 240v outlet.
