Having worked on a product that actually did this, it’s not as easy as it seems. There are many ways of drawing text on the screen.

GDI is the most common, which is part of the windows API. But some applications do their own rendering (including browsers).

Another difficulty, even if you could tap into every draw call, you would also need a way to determine what is visible on the screen and what is covered by something else.

I also wanted to mention that DDG doesn’t really say what editorial changes they make to the results. I would like to see more transparency.

Only recently started using searngx. I would love to see more search engines implement their own indexing and ranking, instead of relying on other engines.

But I am aware that making a good search engine is hard. Even with all their flaws, google and Bing still have the best results, which is why most other engines rely on their results.

Which is just bing with a few extra editorial changes that aren’t really transparent.

It’s been 4 fucking years since Trump has left office. A regular person would never get his trial delayed for that long. If a trial can be delayed for 4 fucking years just because the accused is a powerful individual, it means that the rule of law doesn’t apply the same to everyone. If powerful people are exempt from the rule of law, democracy is dead.

One of those tiny low power PCs with OpenSense is a good alternative, but a bit more work. The only downside is that you need a separate switch and wifi access point.

Losing the internet archive would be such a huge loss… I really hope they have a backup plan in case things go bad legally.

And it’s made of thin stainless steel sheets with sharp corners and edges

Will valve allow accounts to exist indefinitely? Will they create an expiration policy, like accounts being closed after 100 years

Having a curated whitelist would definitely be a good idea, but if it only shows information from a limited list of websites, that would make it a terrible search engine incapable of searching most of the web.

It’s quite simple. Garbage in, garbage out. Data they use for training needs to be curated. How to curate the entire internet, I have no clue.

Running AI models isn’t that resource intensive. Training the models is the difficult part.

He’s quite old and not very healthy. I’m pretty sure he will have to leave one way or another.

I would absolutely love a linux smartphone that didn’t suck.

Your local politicians should start having a lot of children right now.

And also legacy… If something is already written in assembly and you want to add a feature, you’re not going to completely rewrite it.

I am the opposite, I thrive when I work from home. But it’s important for me to have a dedicated space for it, not in my bedroom, and free from distractions like wife, kids, pets, and neighbors with drills.

My home setup is 10x better than at the office… I have a great desk with lots of space, big awesome monitors, awesome keyboard and mouse with kvms to make switching to my personal PC easier. My coffee is better than any work coffee machine I ever used. My internet is much faster and more reliable.

I shit you not, at the last company I worked they proxied all web traffic through another country thousands of km away. As expected, it worked like shit and was failing constantly. And you couldn’t even access repos like maven central, because they used a proxy autoconfig file with hundreds of rules, which is not supported by any software except browsers.

And there’s also the benefits of having a private office, away from noisy coworkers and prying eyes.

I agree, being out of office is the best

I’m pretty sure their goal is to bring ads in the same form as the mobile games, not as part of the in-game world. If they can do it on mobile, why shouldn’t they on pc or consoles?

I think this will be an important thing for gamers to unite against, because if there isn’t enough push back, every big studio will do the same.
