Of course it does. This particular change may seem innocuous in itself, but the idea of compliance with ridiculous laws like this one, in one jurisdiction, being implemented in a project used globally will result in compromising everyone's privacy/security, regardless of whether they are even subject to that law or not.

If anything, it's more troubling for those outside the relevant jurisdiction, since we get 0 say on the laws, and have no actual reason to comply.

Wow, that's wild. I guess that's what you get from being such a young/niche project, they haven't had the time/dewmand to come up against the problems that all the other distros had to solve years ago.

I DLed Cachy with the torrent. Another thing I wish more distros would offer, haha!

I don't think I've ever encountered a distro that doesn't offer a torrent download option, since it saves the project expensive hosting costs.

Since when did CSD become accepted, let alone encouraged? Titlebars should only ever be drawn by the system. This trend of individual applications drawing their own titlebars is a disaster that results in fragmentation and inconsistent behaviour. The absolute disaster that is the titlebars is one of the main reasons I cannot bring myself to use GNOME, recently.

In the same way vibe coding has transformed software development

So, that is to say, they expect it to have no impact on serious work whatsoever?

Why would you use an LLM for this? This sounds like a process easily handled by conventional logic, which would be cheaper, faster, and actually reliable... (The 'notes' part notwithstanding I guess, but calculations in general are definitely not a good use of an LLM)

Also this Voyager/Frasier crossover (skit, rather than episode) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIeEyDETaHY

They're referring (I believe) to the screenshot right at the top of the article, which includes this absurd calculation:

border-radius: max (0px, min(8px, calc( (100vw - 4px - 100%) * 9999)) );

My guess (hope!) is that this is not 'serious' code, but padding for the sake of a screenshot to demonstrate that it's possible to use each of these different features (not that you should!).

Don't even need to remote in to anything, just store your working code on a network share

To say I'm annoyed would be very much overstating it, just a (very minor) eye-roll at one small line in a generally very good article. Just the bit quoted:

currency symbols other than the $ (kind of tells you who invented computers, doesn’t it?)

So they could also be attributing it to some other country that uses $ for their currency, which is a few, but it seems most likely to be suggesting USD.

Well, it's not really clear-cut, which is part of my point, but probably the 2 most significant people I could think of would be Babbage and Turing, both of whom were English. Definitely could make arguments about what is or isn't considered a 'computer', to the point where it's fuzzy, but regardless of how you look at it, 'computers were invented in America' is rather a stretch.

currency symbols other than the $ (kind of tells you who invented computers, doesn’t it?)

Who wants to tell the author that not everything was invented in the US? (And computers certainly weren't)
