Hey @bagder, I was wondering about the default Rust install command:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf sh.rustup.rs | sh
Is the restriction on --proto to =https strictly required? Will curl switch to http even given an https URL?
Is the restriction to TLSv1.2 strictly required? Will curl downgrade to TLSv1.1 or SSLv3 if the server suggests it?
The -s and -S are fine, but I'd probably live with the stderr output for the sake of command brevity. The -f seems reasonable though.

@ebassi Makes sense. I like simple and it performs well enough on my hardware (although it's clearly not in the low end).
I'm a bit surprised that batching only helps in benchmarks since it makes a big difference in Firefox for typical content, but again, different workloads. You've spent the time investigating these things in GTK, so I believe you.

Mercedes boss call for decreasing Chinese EV tariffs in the EU: ft.com/content/acbba7e2-6aa9-4…
Very unusual. I'm guessing this is linked to the risk of reprisals. So part of the EU car industry is in favour of higher tariffs because they don't have production in China, and some is against.

New bookmark: ActivityPub on a (mostly) static website.
There have been other attempts to document the process of bringing ActivityPub to a (mostly) static site, but this is my favorite so far. I wonder if I should give it a go, if POSSE ever stops serving my needs.

Česko je pokud vím unikátní v tom, že každý občan má přístup do lesa — i když je ten les privátně vlastněný. Třeba v USA to tak není, a můžu vám říct, že jsem to tam vnímal jako dost důležitý rozdíl.
Teď se nějaká lobby snaží změnit zákon tak, aby si mohli vlastníci lesů přístup veřejnosti zakázat.
Podepsal jsem proti tomu petici zde: lesyprovsechny.cz/
Chystá se zákon, který výrazně omezí vstup do některých lesů. Výlet do přírody tak už nemusí být takovou samozřejmostí, jak jsme byli zvyklí. Postavme se proti omezení svobody pohybu v naší přírodě!Petice: Zachovejme svobodu pohybu v lesích!
@brabitom no u nás teď právě naštěstí oplotit nejde. Je to složitá diskuze, ale lesy teď slouží i celé společnosti, nejen těm, kteří byli úspěšnější v získávání pozemků, ať už pílí nebo schopností nakrást co jde.
Možná bych na to přemýšlení šel od hub. Velká část populace houbaří a najednou by místa, kam jít, začala mizet. Projet se na kole, zajít si na procházku sám nebo se psem... Prostě to teď máme skvělý všichni, proč o to přijít kvůli pár stovkám lidí?

Apple Vision Pro is a sales flop, production is slashed, and an update ain’t coming next year.
Can we all stop pretending that VR has any big demand beyond gaming? Because beyond the novelty factor, that’s the one good use for VR.
The problem with the Vision Pro is it isn’t a gaming device. Even if it were, gamers aren’t going to pay $3500 for something that doesn’t play their Steam library.

#VeryHotTake: All #Conscription is inherently bad and irredeemable!
Instead:
Otherwise Conscription is just legalized #ForcedLabour with legalized #DeathPenalty combined.
Because you don't want conscripts because if the only thing that keeps armed people fighting for you or fighting on your side is their fear of getting shot, then it's an absurd idea to arm them at all...
Someone please provide me an actual rational reason why we allow forcibly conscripted people to carry machineguns but not the law-abiding average citizen they're forcibly recruited from.
The only case where #abortion should be #criminalized is when it's done against the explicit will of the #pregnant person!

in reply to AGR Risk Intelligence • • •robots.txt references are unfortunately quite prone to cargo-culting. I find ai.robots.txt to be generally misleading. Lots of the UAs they list aren’t used to train generative AI.
AdsBot-Google, for instance, doesn’t do anything if you don’t use Google Ads; Google uses GoogleBot-Extended to train its GenAI offerings.
For image2dataset, it’s better to use a
