Mozilla recently tried to integrate some AI stuff into its MDN. The corresponding Github issue is correctly titled "MDN can now automatically lie to people seeking technical information".

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm a bit disappointed that nobody mentioned Rust yet.

I had to really laugh at "screamy dreamy"

For me, it's Ubuntu as well. Canonical continuously integrates stuff to make the whole distribution more complex and hard to maintain. Without going into much detail, Ubuntu always tries to do things where there is a good standardized way different. Why the heck do we need yet another containerized GUI application environment (I'm looking at you, Snap!); Why do you develop lxd, when there is systemd-nspawn, docker and podman?!

This. Is. Exactly. What. I. Wish. For. A. Very. Long. Time.

Nowadays every news site has paywalls. I'm willing to pay for good work, but if I pay a single news provider, I'm missing too much. Nobody is willing to pay for every publisher. Even if an article is just a few cents I neither want to be annoyed with the payment process nor do I want to manually keep track of how much I spent for news in a month.

We really need a platform providing a news flat rate, aggregating most larger publishers.

To be fair: This is what everyone expects when you install software for Windows. Just download a more or less "good looking" binary blob, execute it with administrative privileges and hope that it will do what you want it to do.

I don't want to read full magazines. I need more or less what an RSS reader can do. But in good.

We played Expeditions, the successor of Scythe and really enjoyed it. Expeditions is a completely different game from Scythe, except that its design is very similar. Unlike Scythe, it is not very strategic but a very tactical game. We played it the second time now, but got a rule wrong, leading to really easy accomplishments of quests (I guess they may be called like that in the English version). I'm excited to play it a third time, and am very interested in playing it with a third player, as I only got to play it with my wife yet.

I'm using sway for approx. 2 years now and am very happy with it as drop in replacement for i3. What bugs are you referring to?

For bars, there are swaybar and waybar that run very smoothly. It's not 100 % polybar but with waybar you can get kind of close.

Somebody has to say it, so I'm taking on the duty:

If whitespace is a problem, you use the wrong editor.

We seem to have something in common: there is a serialisation form, we strongly dislike. But what I cannot understand is: why the heck would anyone torture anyone else to read or even write XML? XML is the absolutely worst configuration language I can imagine. I mean: when is something an attribute, when a tag on its own? What is even a list? And don't forget to include a full HTTP URI for the namespace, otherwise the tag is not defined.

By the way: all valid JSON is valid yaml as well. So in theory, you can use yaml as JSON with comments.
