Poll reveals surprising number of editors don’t know how to use the word ‘amount’.

Partially. The summary isn’t quite in line with the detail:

Android is the only operating system that fully immunizes VPN apps from the attack because it doesn't implement option 121. For all other OSes, there are no complete fixes. When apps run on Linux there’s a setting that minimizes the effects, but even then TunnelVision can be used to exploit a side channel that can be used to de-anonymize destination traffic and perform targeted denial-of-service attacks.

Do you work for Boeing?

I’ve spent a few weeks on Lemmy/all blocking things I don’t care to see, and honestly it’s now pretty good. Plenty of diversity still and easier than subscribing plus occasionally new things pop up that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

Also if OP was British, they’d have put ‘beans on toast’. What they put makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.

Plus it’s probably more complex to engineer multi-colour (well, two colour) font rendering onto the video. Getting the background brightness for each character is as simple as adding all the pixel rgb values together and threshold in. It doesn’t need to be very accurate.

“Almost at the deadline” and starting to collect data. Sounds familiar.

What’s your research question? Your list of questions seem quite unfocused and broad.

I find your excess of faith disturbing…

An AI-written article from early 2019?

Yes, the date could be fake. But there’s also a reason the AIs write the way they do…

Find something you’re interested in using yourself. Contributing to multi-dev projects has a whole load of complication over and above single dev projects, and to stay motivated to work through all that whilst also potential learning a new environment will need a good reason to stay involved.

Almost right. Printers and scanners were not built by people. They are an independent life form that just happens to emulate office equipment for their own benefit. They have enabled parasitic entities such as Canon and HP to thrive alongside them, but since there is no ‘design’ involved, they will never really develop the same kind of interfaces we expect from modern UX labs.

It’s also the reason any sane person keeps a loaded gun nearby whenever interacting with them, just in case they make any unusual noises.
