onlinepersona@programming.devto Technology@programming.dev•CursorAI "unlimited" plan rug pull: Cursor AI silently changed their "unlimited" Pro plan to severely rate-limited without notice, locking users out after 3-7 requestsEnglish0·5 days agoNowadays, anything “unlimited” is highly likely to be fake. There’s just too much potential for abuse and nobody is going to finance that.
Cursor is also US, so their terms and conditions can change at any moment without following any rules whatsoever if you’re in the US. Probably for EU customers they might have a problem, because they require notification of changes and to give the user the option to reject the changes and cancel with no supplementary charge.
onlinepersona@programming.devto Tech@programming.dev•UK firm achieves first commercial tritium breakthrough for fusion fuel0·5 days agoThe ability to generate tritium within the reactor is crucial. A sustainable fusion energy system needs to produce more fuel than it consumes
I clearly don’t understand the fusion process. Deuterium is used to fuse and create tritium?
The reactor core also features an electron-screened environment. This design reduces the energy needed to overcome the Coulomb barrier between particles, which lowers required fusion temperatures by several million degrees and allows for higher performance in a compact size.
What’s this “electron screened environment” they are talking about? They can’t purge all electrons from molecules when they enter can they? That would make the molecule instable. But it sounds like they are doing something similar in order to reduce the temperature required for fusion.
Isn’t this what the kids call “rawdogging” nowadays? Rawdogging icecream, rawdogging life, rawdogging rawdogging.
onlinepersona@programming.devto Fediverse@lemmy.world•GitLab abandons federation plans!English44·7 days agoThe comparisons you’re making are off base and it feels like you’re mocking something you don’t understand, while doing so with a lot of confidence. I’d suggest you either read an article, watch a video, or read the ActivityPub spec’s intro. It isn’t long and should help you understand the basics. Then you can move on the ForgeFed spec which is the ActivityPub extension for source forges. And you can always ask an LLM to summarise it for you if you really don’t understand.
onlinepersona@programming.devto Fediverse@lemmy.world•GitLab abandons federation plans!English63·7 days agoGit is already inherently distributed and automagically mirroring to other remotes is generally like three lines in any CI syntax (and there is probably a precommit hook for it too).
Git is, but what about everything else? When you clone a project on gitlab or github, does it come with all the issues, discussions, MRs, and so on?
I can see a LOT of security issues with not having a centralized source of truth on what the commit hashes should be and so forth.
That’s what signed commits are for. Also, pull/merge requests and issues are sent to the origin instance, just like in the fediverse. Like now, you made a comment on a post on Fediverse@lemmy.world through your instance lemmy.zip. The same would happen with your comments, pull/merge requests, issue reports, and so on. There’s no need for a “central authority”.

Regardless, congrats on the release!
onlinepersona@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.zip•Meta Secures Bittersweet Fair Use Victory in AI 'Piracy' Case * TorrentFreakEnglish01·13 days ago“As should now be clear, this ruling does not stand for the proposition that Meta’s use of copyrighted materials to train its language models is lawful. It stands only for the proposition that these plaintiffs made the wrong arguments and failed to develop a record in support of the right one,” the ruling reads.
onlinepersona@programming.devto Linux Memes@programming.dev•Props to Linus though for really working on his temperEnglish0·13 days agoI still don’t understand why something so unstable and far from ready had to be put into the kernel upstream. How did Kent manage that? Is he really that good with words? Reading his messages on LKML, it really doesn’t seem so. No-one is a god programmer, but was his code so convincing, his practices so good, his testing so thorough, that it being unstable could be ignored?
all hail lynx
onlinepersona@programming.devto Linux@programming.dev•Fairphone 6 Announced With Same-Day Linux Support Patches - Phoronix1·15 days agoI hope they will do the same for the Fairphone 5. Being able to run Linux on it would be amazing. It would blow the librem5 and pretty much any other Linux phone out of the water.
onlinepersona@programming.devto Technology@programming.dev•The German automotive industry wants to develop open-source software togetherEnglish2·16 days agoThe penny drops. Or as the Germans would say “Der Groschen ist gefallen”.
What a surprise to think that reusing existing code instead of reinventing the wheel everytime would be beneficial and superior. It’s like management is discovering the value of collaboration after wpouting their “synergy” crap for decades.
onlinepersona@programming.devto Rust@programming.dev•The ultimate Rust performance guide1·18 days agoRayon and dashmap were new to me. I have to look at CoW pointers. Not entirely sure I’ll need CoW pointers but first I have to understand them.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice. Are there any other groups on Signal? Probably joining one allows you to meet people from other groups too.

Would be no surprise if that were tied to Google in some way. Just like every dumb bank has to tie their services to Google wallet.

The Stop Killing Games movement is great because it brought this kind of thing to light. I just hope it will succeed and not just fizzle out after gamers think getting 1M signatures is the end of the road. There is a long battle ahead.
