Watching the series on netflix I had the same reaction.

Basically any channel that started doing "reaction" content. Oh you're reading the top page of Reddit today? Cool, what creative value does that have to me? Absolutely none. Goodbye. I get that it's really popular but I have no idea why, and I get it's cheap to make but it's also shit, so you get what you pay for I guess.

The only exception to this is Jimmy Broadbent who occasionally does his "Sim Racing Stewards" series which is basically his take on Reddit user submitted clips of their online racing mishaps. I find it really interesting to watch because he has so much sim racing experience and, albeit less, experience of real world racing with real life stewards and racing rules. It's entertaining and interesting and I want to know his opinion on these incidents because he has enough context to have an opinion, and doesn't act like his opinion is gospel.

Farage and reform are dangerous yes but Labour are a more direct threat to the SNP's vote share, so they kind of need to attack them a bit, even though in principle they agree on a lot. That said, current labour can fuck right off with their genocide-enabling, big tech-appeasing, tory-apologist cowardice.

How is what you're describing different to what the author is talking about? Isn't it essentially the same as "AI do this thing for me", "no not like that", "ok that's better"? The trouble the author describes, ie the solution being difficult to change, or having no confidence that it can be safely changed, is still the same.

R has the same problems as far as I'm aware, though it doesn't form the core of a lot of modern CI of course!

Yeah that's the (public) policy, but there's nothing stopping them from saying "we're Google, we have a literal army of lawyers at our disposal, and you can't prove shit. Even if you could prove shit, we would find a way to keep doing what we're doing through some loophole that you can't afford to fight us on"

I used to find it took forever to start showing a picture compared to HDMI on my PC. Getting a new GPU so maybe that will improve things.

Azure and Teams. The former makes them waaaaaaay more money of course. Other than that it's been a trainwreck. Gamepass was relatively novel but increased the price so much as to make it unviable for most people, that's before you get into the plague of issues with it like controller compatibility, which is itself a problem of Microsoft's own making.

Yeah I'm a recent convert to less permissive licenses and was disappointed to see that redox was MIT. At the same time I know if I was to make anything worth open sourcing I couldn't fight big tech if they decided to make use of it in a non-compliant way.

I work professionally providing some of these tools and I get lost with all the variations so you're not alone. You generally don't want to mess with the "system" or "preinstalled" version of python on your system as it has a chance of breaking things. Anaconda or similar tools will package their own version so if you mess those up you can just delete it and reinstall it without breaking anything else. Virtual environments are definitely the way to go but get 10 python developers in a room and they'll give you 10 different virtual environment tool recommendations.

The irony of the chancellor announcing today that they are promoting innovation in the UK tech industry while simultaneously implementing the innovation-crushing OSA is fucking baffling.

Hey small group of people who want to communicate online to organise things, you'd better be monitoring everything that's been said on your forum or face a crippling fine that you cannot survive. Oh cool you've moved to Facebook and now everyone needs a Facebook account to interact with you in any meaningful way because god forbid you read emails.

I'm only really aware of him as former (?) leader of private discords who have to pay to talk to him so this article made that idea even more ridiculous and funny than it already was!
