Just like it took a decade for media and mainstream to pick up Reddit, it’ll take a decade for that to seep through.

They are for adult weirdos.

IIRC Windows has an accessibility feature where the cursor jumps to the primary default action in opening dialogs.

Doing it screenshot based seems inefficient if y du could iterate through windows and controls.

Going beyond “that you remember”, Wikipedia has a list.

lol; Thanks Dave Kinne! /s

Note: This is from August. So it’s been a while since then.

Will we call it WeirdPress?

Can you explain what you mean by free speech?

Is the free choice of content selection algorithm free speech? Isn’t the speech, the content, there either way, and could be selected through other alternative algorithms?

Is using deliberately engaging or addicting design free speech? Isn’t the speech, the content, there either way?

They’re describing one kind of free proprietary software and company setup. Which is valid. But the title claiming “[all] always ends in tears” isn’t supported by that.

threats of commercial retaliation appear to have dampened the resolve

A few days ago I saw an interview with an EU official (I don’t remember who) which gave interesting insight.

They pointed out that they’re talking with China about these tariffs, that they’re taking a proof-based approach on them, reasoning and justifying with evidence of unfair subsidies, and that China has accepted such tariffs in the past for other things.

Collecting and discussing evidence obviously takes more time. But it defuses the “I put tariffs on you” -> “then I put tariffs on you” into a “these unjust subsidies were in place so we have to add these tariffs” -> “I don’t like it but I see”.

I wonder how those talks turned out, given that the tariffs have now been set. I guess I will hear from China if they object.

What do you mean?

It has buttons on both sides.

The letter alleged that “your blatant and widespread unlicensed use of our Client’s trademarks has infringed our Client’s rights and confused consumers into believing, falsely, that WP Engine is authorized, endorsed, or sponsored by, or otherwise affiliated or associated with, our Client.”

If the trademark is indeed on the wordpress.org foundation and not the wordpress.com company, I didn’t think that’s a fair argument.

When I think Wordpress I think the software, not their hosting or company. Such an argument would only work if the exclusive trademark licensing were actually exclusively used, and not in addition to the very vast Wordpress [software] ecosystem.

WPEngine using the Wordpress trademark makes me think they’re using Wordpress. Not that they are affiliated with Wordpress.com (or automattic that runs it).

Their about us pages:

• https://automattic.com/about/
• https://wpengine.com/about-us/

I don’t think either is a cancer to the FOSS Wordpress ecosystem. Both seem to give back.

I think you make a good point. But the tech doesn’t have to formalize or understand the complexities of human relations or state. The platform and environment are something you can shape even without an established or physical community. The way information is presented and interactions happen does influence how people use and communicate. Not reaching the same degree doesn’t mean it’s a complete failure.

The tldr doesn’t match the text. Your elaboration is a lot better than your tldr.

Crazy. Crazy that that works as a business strategy.

about how Chinese people cope with constant surveillance in their country

Very interesting read.

Finally, wanting to protect privacy was often seen by participants as a desire to hide shameful secrets in order to save face. Here too, surveillance is viewed positively, as a tool to unmask shady behaviours and promote morality.

Damn.

In short, the way the Chinese citizens I spoke to experience digital surveillance is characterized by strong psychic tensions: the same persons who support surveillance as being indispensable in the Chinese context are also and nevertheless expressing the heavy burden that coping with such exposure places on them.

I’ve skipped signing up via email to be able to read articles because that, apparently, that also includes signing up for a newsletter.

I wouldn’t call pasting verbatim training data hallucination when it fits the prompt. It’s not necessarily making stuff up.

I feel like you’re unfittingly mixing tool target behavior with technical limitations. Yes, it’s not knowingly reasoning. But that doesn’t change that the user interface is a prompt-style, with the goal of answering.

I think it’s fitting terminology for encompassing multiple issues of false answers.

How would you call it? Only by their specific issues? Or would you use a general term, like “error” or “wrong”?
