Moreover, this is a breach of trust between the reviewer and the author. Our assumption when we review is that we’re talking to a real person who wants to do their best work.

I think this is a really excellent point and gets at a general feeling I’ve had towards LLM-generated PR comments for a while now. I can understand the desire to use LLMs to generate changes (my company pushes AI super hard and it genuinely is a helpful tool in many cases), but to delegate discussion of those changes to an AI model feels extremely antisocial to me. I don’t really like the idea of vibe-coding in general, and this practice really distills down everything I don’t like about it with an added layer of deception.

That was obviously a joke though, and it wasn’t even OP.

Microsoft has discussed the possibility of creating user mode APIs for the monitoring that security programs like CrowdStrike could utilize instead of installing a kernel mode driver, but they haven’t said anything about locking down kernel mode drivers and I personally doubt they ever would.

IIRC it is possible to disable the indicators altogether, although that may or may not be an acceptable solution to you. For me it was worth the trade-off because of exactly this reason.

Putin is a despot trying to make his mark on history. No amount of appeasement from the global West would have stopped him from ordering the invasion.

If that was how it worked then we would have suffocated along ago under all the argon that sank to the bottom of the troposphere. The atmosphere is turbulent and extremely good at mixing gases of varying densities, and CFCs last decades before being decomposed or removed from the air.

The UN exists to provide a forum for discourse between states, not to be an international legislature. If resolutions actually had teeth the UN would cease to exist in its current form.

This is the most important thing I’ve learned since the start of my career. All those “clever” tricks literally just serve to make the author feel clever at the expense of clarity and long-term manintainability.

Microsoft also released their own package manager called Winget a few years ago. It mostly just wraps existing installers to allow for unattended installation, but it seems to work pretty well in my (limited) experience.

Was that the infamous Toy Story 2 incident?

Sorry, I phrased my comment poorly. What I meant was that the article doesn’t describe what specifically led to those charges, apart from a racist group chat of some kind.

Had this exact thought as well. The article is so vague that it doesn’t actually describe what they seem to be getting charged with, so unless the DA is completely overstepping bounds (possible but unlikely) there has to be more to it.

My uncle-in-law is convinced that the CCP is sending spies and sleeper agents in droves across the border. There’s just no way to reason with this level of delusion.

They still have a 6-seat lead, and even if two or three resignations follow they’ll still have a 1-seat buffer on party-line votes.

That KDE Plasma 5 is finally usable and stable, after having decided to stop pushing the ridiculous plasmoids on the user […] is like having an old whore finally becoming a respectable woman.

Yeah, I stopped reading here.

My company has on multiple occasions brought in applicants to interview who aren’t qualified for any positions we’re actively looking to fill. I’m not 100% sure why that is, but it’s led to us rejecting candidates who everyone otherwise felt pretty positive about.

The Asus BT500 dongle works quite well in my experience as long as you’re running a kernel from the last 1-2 years, it’s only BT 5.0 though.

What the hell is your problem?

It’s a very slow moving project by design for better or for worse. There also hasn’t been a ton of developer interest in the DE space in supporting it until the last few years since it would necessarily take resources away from other work, and generally X has been “good enough” until recently. I don’t have anything to back this up but I suspect that the increased accessibility of gaming on Linux as well as HRR and HDR displays entering the mainstream had a lot to do with this renewed interest.

You can “star” repositories on GitHub. I believe this has always been a feature.
