Also, what do you mean “easily downloadable”? Can anyone download the entire corpus of SO in a way that they could set up their own SO with the same content to bootstrap them?
People seem to be happy because of SO becoming irrelevant. I really don't get it, I used this website for many years now and for me it is the second (after Wikipedia) most valuable source of knowledge. The UI is clean, no intrusive adds, best answer is the most visible. Threads are well organised and on topic. No spam, no dark patterns, no wasting your time. Discoverability is great, you can easily browse and learn knew things. It is also SEO friendly. Why do you prefer Discord? What do I miss?
Honestly, a few years ago when ChatGPT was becoming popular, I thought it would be much more common by now to be able to talk to characters in games. Yet here we are in 2025 with existing, quite good voice assistance technology and gaming world does not seem to be particularly interested
I have also heard uploading (seeding) is where you really get in trouble
Which is interesting since modern web standards make it possible to exchange data peer to peer in browser. Isn't PeerTube working this way? So you might not even know you are sharing. How does it work in such situation?
My dream is to have entire operating system state stored as configuration, tracked by a git repo. To be able to know exactly what changed when, to revert back to whatever state I want and quickly copy setup from one device to another. So naturally NixOS caught my attention. I tried it before, once on Virtual Box VM and once on Raspberry Pi and I failed with installation of it on both of them, my weekend was too short :D It was a few years ago, it might get better now.
I have read this post's description and didn't even open a link, since it didn't sound interesting. But two big features are introduced in this release: **tab groups and profile management **
Why do everyone emphasize the fact that it is Rust based? What difference does it make? Personally, I don't care whether it's written in Rust, Cobol or Brainfuck. Badly written software would be buggy no matter the language.
Microsoft created this extension and pays money to develop it
Despite that, they give it to programmers for free. It is still free of charge.
They explicitly said that using it outside of their products is forbidden (according to article: at least 5 years ago), they just didn't enforce it
Someone (here: Cursor developers), despite that, used it in their products and started to make money from it
What exactly are you mad at? When will programming community finally understand that Microsoft is not a non-profit company and its primary purpose is to make money?
To be successful, Firefox should not only try to keep up with the competition, but also offer some unique features that would attract new users.
I agree that LLMs are overhyped, but in my opinion they are quite good at summarising text. We all hate clickbait titles, and this feature has the potential to actually combat them. And what's unique about Firefox's approach is that it's truly private. No other browser offers this.
So I agree, I thought you are talking about some profit enshittification on Stack Overflow
