@bagder I saw this on Discord today:
tumblr post by argentsunshine: well you know what they say. when you've invested billions of dollars into hammers every problem looks like a nail and you keep handing these hammers to your users and they go "i don't really think i needed this hammer" and "but i don't have any nails that need hammering in right now" and "this is not a nail this is a glass vase that will break if i hit it with a hammer" and "didn't you used to have, like, other tools avaliable that might be better suited to this job" and you tell them to suck it up because you've replaced all your screwdrivers and wrenches and box cutters and crates and ladders and paint with hammers because your shareholders need to see an increase in value from your hammer investments

So much about MacOS being less intrusive with AI:
Post by Jill Murray Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.) Screenshot of an ad by Scrivener: Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you're on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt. Here's why, and what you can do if you want to remove this: https://buff.ly/MlAq0rL

You can also use eg. phanpy.social to quote+include an image. Unfortunately I've got no idea how to quote+reply with phanpy.

Along with the differences in the drawings, the model he displayed on Wednesday appeared to have some mistakes, like a staircase leading up from the South Lawn to no clear landing. {picture showing the ballroom, with two highlights: - Stairs leading up to no clear landing - Colliding windows }]

Očitno smo pešci in kolesarji drugorazredni uporabniki cest, ki se bomo morali na vsakem semaforju ustavljati, preden se bo prižgala zelena luč.

Tole je odgovor na sporočilo, da se na prenovljenem križišču Topniške in Linhartove zelena luč za pešce in […]

[Original post on infosec.exchange]
V praksi to pomeni, da iščemo rešitve, ki se čim bolj prilagajajo dejanskim trenutnim prometnim potrebam. Strokovni izraz za tako delovanje semaforjev je »zelena luč se predvidi le v primeru najave prometnega udeleženca«. Take rešitve vodijo do skupno najboljšega učinka, ki pomeni najhitrejše odvijanje prometa v križišču za vse prometne udeležence, to je za vozila, kolesarje in pešce. Najbolj očitne so spremembe za pešce in kolesarje. V nekaterih primerih že posodobljenih semaforiziranih križišč, se zelena luč za pešce in kolesarje prižge le, če je pešec ali kolesar, ki želi prečkati cesto, prisoten. Če pešca ali kolesarja ni na prehodu, potem ni potrebe, da prometni udeleženci na drugih smereh čakajo pri rdeči luči in obratno – prometni udeleženci na drugih smereh so vozila, kolesarji in pešci. Prisotnost pešca in/ali kolesarja, ki želi prečkati vozišče se prepozna samodejno. Rešitev, ki nujno zahteva od pešca ali kolesarja pritisk na tipko, je neudobna, zato jih ne želimo.Gre pa za sisteme, za katere je po vgradnji nujno potreben čas za prilagoditev vsem dejanskim detajlom in situacijam na konkretni lokaciji.Vseh možnih lokacij ni mogoče predvideti v naprej.Sistem sproti nadgrajujemo in prilagajmo. Zato vljudno prosimo tudi za vašo potrpežljivost. Podarjamo še, da sistem deluje bistveno bolje, če prometni udeleženci upoštevajo vse cestno-prometne predpise, kot na primer čakanje na površini, ki je namenjena za čakanje na zeleno luč za prehod čez cesto ali za prevoz križišča.

> in which case why does it even have a US-specific mains cable

About 15 years ago we were dismantling some computers at a client, and I found the monstrosity in the attached pictures. Note that all the cables have standard IEC 60320 C13 connector […]

3-way Swiss electrical splitter, with a Schuko power cord connected to one of the outlets; the connector on the splitter is covered with what looks like a blank Same splitter as in previous picture, now with everything unplugged. You can see that the Schuko power cord is a suicide cord with male connectors on both sides; the blank cover that was on the splitter could've been wired instead, which would've made this much safer (but still pointless, as both Swiss cords that were plugged in have regular C13 connectors on the other side)

@tml I've been using dark theme in Windows since 2002 or 2003, but I've always set the text to fairly low contrast (took me a few years to find colours that suit me, but I've been using basically the same theme since 2004). I've been (ab)using high contrast […]

@samwho The font used in descriptions has no distinction between `0` and `o`, which is probably not a good choice here.
Screenshot of text saying "year 2000, not"; 0 and o are exactly the same size and shape.

@Viss That first reply makes it even better:
T1000 Community Ambassador: Hi, this happens quite rarely but some users do report it occasionally. However there are clear steps to reduce such errors. Did you enable file deletion protection in the Auto-run settings in Cursor including .file protection and external file protection? Those should help avoid most such issues. Also set clear commands what the agent is allowed to do by itself Allow/Deny lists
