I'd prefer not to share my pages, as I like to keep things separate (and also some of the older content from 25 years ago has not aged well but I haven't had chance to fix it all yet). But yeah, it is really sad that we're losing tools like this, and how few people have any ability to control their online space. Facebook makes everything so impersonal.
You should definitely make a cute, personal homepage. The internet is better for having such spaces on it. :)
I had already checked the alternativeto lists. Unfortunately most of the options there were missing one or more of the features required, but BlueGriffon, NVU and Kompozer have all been tried, with the lack of maintenance being the major problem - when a bug pops up or there's a compatibility issue, there's no hope of fixing it (this is also the reason why we're struggling to keep using the old versions of Dreamweaver and Frontpage - we can get them to run, but they're so old that we're running into compatibility issues).
But LibreOffice and Seamonkey are good ideas, since they're both still being maintained. Thanks. :)
Yep, it's really disappointing that most of the options listed as alternatives to Dreamweaver and Frontpage are either discontinued, or lack a visual interface, or are web-based and attached to a specific hosting provider. We've actually been looking for the right software for over three years now. Some of the discontinued ones are still accessible and mostly working, but they have bugs that are obviously never going to be fixed.
We do have one or two people using Neocities, as that's what replaced Geocities - but there's an understandable reluctance to use free hosting services. We lost quite a lot of content when Geocities was shut down, only some of which we were able to reconstruct. So the majority of us have our own webhosting now - for what we need, the cheapest packages are more than sufficient. It's kind of depressing how that actually makes it harder - Neocities, Wix, and a bunch of other free hosting options provide page builders, but only if you're using their hosting. When you have your own hosting, your webhost pushes you to install WordPress and considers their job done at that point.
But thanks for the suggestion of Silex. It's one I hadn't encountered in my previous searches, but it looks like it might do what we need. The desktop app and visual interface look promising, so I'm going to play around with it and see if it'll do what we need. I think PicoCMS is worth investigating further as well - I can install it on a subdomain and poke at it a bit. I'm liking that it's lightweight and stores everything as text files.
Let's just go a step further. Every sperm and every egg is a child. Jail everyone for killing children, with sentences decided by number killed. Given men have murdered millions of children with every ejaculation, their sentences will be substantially longer than women who only kill one a month, but even so, it looks like it's just going to have to be life sentences for everyone.
Speaking for the UK, this is a requirement to receive unemployment benefits. You have to prove you're actively seeking a job for a minimum of 35 hours per week, and you're not considered to be "looking hard enough" if you're not applying for every single job that you could realistically travel to, no matter how unsuitable you are for the job. If there's a hospital 5 minutes walk from your house that are recruiting a surgeon, someone on unemployment would be expected to apply despite having zero suitable qualifications. If they don't, they get sanctioned, which means they don't receive enough social security to pay their rent and/or food and/or power.
This week I have discovered the joys of Slime Rancher. There is something about an adorable slime with a face bouncing past me going "whee!" that makes life worth living. They're just so happy. Except when they're scared of something. I don't like it when they're scared, and this must be prevented at all costs.
Yeah, I think monitoring the actual utilisation on my PC is more useful than theoretical calculations. Games performance is pretty good (it's not like I'm playing demanding 2023 releases), but I've definitely got a bottleneck in there on digital art, 3D modelling, etc, and I'm not convinced that the CPU is the issue there.
That would probably work in the US, but I'm not so sure it'd work in the EU. Even the UK is capable of cracking down on "freelancers" who are obviously just regular employees with bosses trying to dodge regulation.
Yeah, I think the fact that the Fediverse is genuinely and legitmately multiple small websites, each of which can be proven to be run by different people with no connection to each other, would mean it's exempt.
Making sure their turnover also gets split into hundreds of companies seems like an administrative nightmare though. And I suspect the EU regulators are smart enough to see through such a ruse - eBay would still be one website, not hundreds, after all.
Pretty interesting results for me - I'm actually genuinely surprised that my CPU is my bottleneck, because I'd been assuming it was my GPU. That said, I have no bottlenecking at all if I run only one monitor, according to this calculator, but when I run the calculator for three monitors (my typical set-up, though I often run four because my drawing tablet has a screen), apparently my CPU doesn't have the power to keep up with the GPU.
That must be so difficult for them to "get through". Surviving for a few months, maybe a year (if non-compete clauses are enforced, which they probably aren't for CEOs) on just tens of millions, which forces them to buy only one yacht instead of three until they can get back into another well-paid CEO gig. The greatest tragedy of our age. Won't anybody think of the CEOs?!
That image haunts me. I can only assume this paper got through peer review because the reviewers saw that image and went mad, like all those who have witnessed eldritch monstrosities.
As someone with a complicated medical history, including a very rare complication arising from a medication for a rare condition, I have serious reservations about the use of LLMs in medical contexts. It's not that humans can't get it wrong, but my experience with medical professionals is that if they're not certain about something, they will go check with a colleague or look something up in a textbook/online resource (and honestly I'm reassured when a doctor does this! It shows self-awareness and humility to admit they're not experts on everything and they'd rather be careful than protect their ego.) An LLM will just confidently bullshit a diagnosis. That might be fine for someone with a straightforward medical history suffering from a common, easily treated condition. It could be deadly for someone whose medical history is more complex.
As an artist who is sick of the same argument being made about AI image generators, I 100% agree. Definitely in favour of developer and artist solidarity on this issue, because at the end of the day, we're all workers whose livelihoods are at stake.
Wouldn't a corporation rep say that corporations are not evil and are the only way the brighter future can be achieved? That the problem is regulation is making it impossible for the corpo to usher in utopia?
