It would probably look like the Third Temple.

I agree with the sitting down and focusing part. For me, I've always been extremely inclined to audio processing, so I can sometimes just lay in bed or in a chair, or on the train, and... listen to an audio book. I really don't think it makes a big difference, at least for me. I used to be attached to the sensory experience of flicking pages, but there's also a big factor in letting the book (or, the narrator) take you to their own pace. A good narrator really completes a story.

All that stuff about listening to an audiobook while working out, or cooking, driving, or anything is crystallized bravado from people who think it makes them look clever that they can do two things badly at the same time.

Probably at the very least the one for artists and DJs, you don't think so? You'd rather take your car to the sweaty, unkempt mechanic with his hands coated in motor oil, who you've never seen without his overalls, or the clean mechanic who wears a nice business attire with the classy shoes and tie? I rest my case.

I mostly agree with your point, but I wouldn't use the term "storyteller". LLMs do not even understand that there is such a thing as a story and a reality. To the LLM, there's not even a border between the game and the not-game.

Wow, I use Emacs and tabs over spaces. And K&R braces. Now we must fight to death.

As opposed to me, who is perfectly rational.

I'm not sure people get desensitized. Personally, whenever I notice a really unintrusive donation banner, I have more chance to actually give money to this entity, because I've been shown so much crap all over, so I can respect someone who places a gentle nudge at the bottom of a screen I'll look at for a whole 5 seconds. I'm not sure how it degrades the experience, too.

Also, you might want to read the article. LibreOffice specifically points out the banner was moved, and not added or removed.

describing the setting should (ideally) be done through a character's interaction with the setting.

if you're developing some sort of dystopia where everyone is heavily medicated, better to show a character casually take the medication rather than describe it.

of course, that's not a rule set in stone. you can do whatever the fuck you want.

Discerning readers do not stop at the em dash. At least, I don't.

Yes, because everyone is a perfectly rational agent in the economy.

Nice. I really like ZorinOS. I converted my dad a few years ago, and he never looked back.

There's no hardening against idiocy.

It's one of the reasons why people get annoyed at jargon or are pissed off about pronouns, [...]

It's worth noting there's an overabundance of legitimate reasons people get annoyed at these two thing, making them bad examples.

Whether this was a joke or a backtracking, or this dared waste your oh so precious time- You're missing the forest for the trees. There's extreme covert and even overt hostility between how people stand on AI's gluttonous usage of the commons.

We're about to waltz into a deep period of tension between developers, and people who, empowered by multimillion dollars corporations, bravely violate developers' copyrights in the hopes of replacing their jobs, while bullying these same developers who dare express their discontent.

This is not gonna end well.

Entitled mentality.

"Less fortunate" is a generous wording and framing.

As opposed to OP's extension, I would heartily recommend this one.

Wow, it's been a while since I haven't read ICE and parsed it this way. Black ICE, even?

But I can think of one possible reason: SQLite has been known to have memory safety vulnerabilities, whereas this codebase is written in Rust with no unsafe code.

I've lost every single shred of confidence I had in the comment's more optimistic claims the moment I read this.

If you read through SQLite's CVE history, you'll notice most of those are spurious at best.

Some more context here: https://sqlite.org/cves.html

It's only a conspiracy and paranoia if it's wrong. 11 years ago was 2015.

One has still yet to convince me of anything IRC has over XMPP.

Because they have an huge PR campaign and a lot of money to invest in keeping their place.

That's pretty close to the underlying concept behind Guix and Nix. Give them a glance, if you can!

You should look up "doas". It might enlighten you.

That's not post open-source. That's dual licensing, an use-case FOSS has enabled and supported forever.

There's no example because OP has never done this, and never will. People lie on the internet.

Now I wonder, how has this become infeasible exactly?

That's called `\e[0;92m`, aka the ANSI terminal espace sequence for bright green. You have 15 others, that will be displayed however the terminal's user wants. They're already available in most terminal color libraries, too.

I can think of a few things that burn more energy per second that I'll burn in my entire lifetime via the use of encryption.

Coincidentally, they're all, somehow, insanely useless.

Exactly. But it is hilarious that, in the only OS where investing your time in learning something that will almost always be useful in other ways (as opposed to spending your time submitting to a quagmire of bugs), this is described as a "spending".
