I mean, bias is a problem, but there's an even bigger issue. What happens if a couple has a third child? It may not seem like it, but this is a major problem.

Vivaldi has the best tab management ever.

Is that ratio pure coincidence?

I like how this guy explains the history of browser user agents and why they have this strange configuration today:

Believe or not, Cyberpunk 2077. There are a few very hard ethical and moral dilemmas.

I like tech history. Loved your explanation about the Google vs Oracle legal battle.

Google Wave was beautiful. I was rooting for it to replace email as a standard. So many possibilities lost...

Since I am curious but lazy enough to search for the description of each one of these apps, I made an experiment. I asked GPT-4 to generate a description for them. I provided the context below:

    
This is a list of FOSS Android apps. I need you to briefly explain in one line what each one of these does.
You should use the knowledge you already have, but on doubt query the https://f-droid.org/

[I included OP full list here]

  

I tried twice. In the first one I not included the f-droid context above, and the list he generated have some misleading descriptions. The second try I passed the full prompt above, and the resulting descriptions was better.

Interestingly, GPT-4 alerts when he search the internet, but in this second try he did not accessed it, but the resulting list was better anyway, although not perfect:

TLDR:

Kytch, a startup, developed a device to fix McDonald's ice cream machines but faced opposition after a 2020 McDonald's email warning against its use, citing safety concerns. Kytch alleges this move, influenced by machine manufacturer Taylor, was to undermine them as a competitor. Recent litigation reveals an email from Taylor's CEO suggesting action against Kytch, which Kytch claims as evidence of a plot to sabotage their business.

Despite Taylor and McDonald's denials, Kytch continues legal action, asserting the email demonstrates a coordinated effort to eliminate competition.

Hold up, does Podman replace Docker entirely?

When you are unemployed for a few months, have rent, other bills to pay, and a family to feed, you accept any work that provides an income.

I asked for medieval, received steampunk 😭

Does it attach to the motherboard in one end?

Yes.

If so is there any labels

CHA_FAN1. All fans are working, so it probably wasn't connected anywhere. Thank you very much.

The other fans are working, so I will assume that the connector wasn't connected to anything. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for the explanation. I will get the manual. It is an ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG STRIX B460-H GAMING (LGA1200).

It really has a label CHA_FAN1. Since all other fans are working I will assume this cable was stuck somewhere.

Thank you.

I was suspicious that this cable was disconnected and stuck somewhere before, but I wasn't sure. Thank you for the explanation.
