Quickly spin up Copilot coding agent tasks from anywhere on your macOS or Windows machine with Raycast.

Isn’t this a Raycast ad, rather than a Copilot ad? This is probably a string injected by Raycast itself

From the blogpost:

This doesn’t take a single cent away from a creator’s YouTube earnings. When you watch a YouTube video through Odysee, they still get paid. We’re not here to hurt the people making the content, we’re here to give you a better way to watch it.

So, how is this going to work? Is it going to be just an iFrame, and Odysee will let you locally subscribe to youtube channels and search for youtube content?

I too think link aggregators like Lemmy, Reddit and HackerNews are very popular in Germany, but I don’t know why. The first time I noticed this was during the first two reddit r/place events, where users could compete to claim a pixel on a giant canvas to create pixel artworks. The German artworks were definitely the most prominent ones compared to countries of similar or larger size, by a loooong shot. Broader internet access and an high % of tech-literate population are surely a factor, but it definitely didn’t look proportional

I don’t think those comments are generated and posted automatically by a bot plugged to their github repo. I think they are generated by the author using an LLM and copy-pasted there - or if the account is plugged to some LLM, they are at least manually reviewed. The answer to the replied-to comment are posted from 10 minutes to some hours later. I don’t think they lost their mind to the point of giving unvetted access to their reputable account to an AI that simply posts for them. That said, they could al least strip the obvious/uneasy parts that give very LLM vibes, specifically those quoted in the op

At my company we have been using AI very heavily to write code lately, and if that sentence was used to justify a 10k+ diff, whoever wrote it/vetted the change would have their access to the codebase revoked

Same thing in Italy. We act like our traditional dishes are something we’ve been eating for centuries while almost all of them became a thing after WWII, during the economic boom, when a lot of people became able to afford a larger variety of ingredients, the cold chain became efficient, and we started to import recipes and food from foreign countries, and anyway the original and popular version of some classics was completely different from what we eat today and consider traditional. It is still true that many dishes are peculiar of our traditional cousine, but the way we act about it is just patriotic nonsense. Pasta itself might be historically considered more of an us italian-american thing than an italian dish

there isn’t

That is the only thing I like about chat-based communities. It is nice to have a way to catch up, if I want to, from where I left. Cannot be done with modern links aggregators

One of my favorite facts is that while the first pyramids were being built, there were still Mammoth roaming some northern European regions (never checked whether this is true or not but I’ve heard it so many times that I want to believe it is true)

Yes, it’s typical of these people to believe/say that in society ideas are exchanged on a fair playground, while in reality the discussion is gamed in favor of the power that be from the start. Durov like many other knows this damn well but “free speech” is a selling point for Telegram and Durov is a propagandist as much as Kirk, that also believes in competition as the driving force of any kind of progress, so it’s not really surprising to hear these words spent in favor of a “debater” like Kirk. He could have just shut the fuck up though, like he does with all the other political activists murdered by their own governments and not by the hatred they caused

I have a box of Ena too but I do not remember where I bought it. As far as I remember the cards set is slightly different but yeah, basically the same game

Do you think this qualifies as maladaptive daydreaming?

That is their appeal :) Solo on the beach for some reason is more aesthetically pleasing than Uno

Nice, thanks for the suggestion :)

Right, I will try to look for some options in the developer settings

Edit: there are a bunch of bt-related settings in the Dev options menu, most of them are about audio codec, AVRCP/MAP versions, Bluetooth LE, and other options, but unfortunately nothing that sounds like what I’m looking for :')

Hmm that’s weird. I bought my Pixel 5 in 2023, the bluetooth devices I own are the same I was using with my previous phone (mostly, four devices: the car’s bt-aux adapter, bt speaker, headphones, cool headphones), and they all used to re-connect automatically. Now none of them does lol so I assumed it was an issue with the phone

Follow up on the 🇷🇴 elections topic. Tweet from George Simion:

🇷🇴 I officially ask Constitutional Court TO ANNUL Romanian presidential elections (May 2025). For the very reasons December elections were annulled: EXTERNAL INTERFERENCES by state and non-state actors. This time proven with evidence! Neither 🇫🇷, nor 🇲🇩, nor anyone else has the right to interfere in the elections of another state.

To all Romanians: ask urgently the Constitutional Court to annul this farce. We will not give up and we will not betray! This is only the beginning of a great victory!

Durov’s reply:

I’m ready to come and testify if it helps Romanian democracy.

aaaah you’re right! The Italian translation was a little weird :)

oh, yeah, I received the same message 6 dyas ago :D forgot about it already
