Hi, I like it! 2 things I noticed:

1) Aren't "Modernism" and "Modernismo" the same thing? I'm a Spanish speaker and from my POV they are

2) Selected "Naïve Art" style and it's broken (images not loading). Probably something to do with the diaeresis

Ubuntu Desktop has always been amongst the most consuming distros due to their reliance on GNOME

Even during the time when they didn't and it used Unity, it still was "bloated" in a way

As a user of DOMPurify, I have to bring attention to the new HTML Sanitizer API[1].

Not the same, I know, but it's relevant still.

Also, there's a post from less than 2 weeks ago about it[2]

Interesting. Where do I run that?

My only concern with Codex is that it's not possible to delete tasks.

This is a privacy and security risk. Your code diffs and prompts are there (seemingly) forever. Best you can do is "archive" them, which is a fancy word for "put it somewhere else so it doesn't clutter the main page".

But since then the other countries learned that the US government could weaponize their USD holdings if they don't align. Central banks started accumulating gold to counter this.

Also, debt market is not the same as it was 5 years ago, Japan now has inflation (and they hold the biggest bag of US debt).

To add to this, USD lost 10% of its value this 2025 according to the DXY index. To be fair, it pretty much went to what it was worth before 2022, but the Fed has to be careful anyway.

Many things happened since 2020. It's almost 2026.

It's fair to be worried about depending on LLM. But I find the dependance on things like AWS or Azure more problematic, if we are talking about centralized and proprietary

This is why I like Arch's Pacman a lot, and the reason why I avoid Debian derivatives.

That `totallysafescript.sh` could at least be inside of the package manager scope. Most of the times someone already did it, and published it to AUR.

IMO the reason why there are so many people running random scripts in Ubuntu/Debian is due to how more difficult/inconvenient it is to get a dpkg .deb when compared to a PKGBUILD file. Same for MacOS, in which you have to either rely on Homebrew wizardry or just running the script

This looks interesting, although I'm curious on how it handles binary data, since that page is blank in their documentation.

Exactly, just between a 20 and a 30 percent of our debt is in Argentine pesos. [0]

>I am also a freediver, and it is well known that hyperventilating before holding your breath is a deadly thing to do in the water, because it can cause blackout- and that seems to be what people are (incorrectly) doing here.

Coincidentally, Wim Hof and his technique came out in a conversation with a friend last night, and when he mentioned that hyperventilating was a big part of it I told him that it was a contraindication for epileptic people like me.

Actually, they diagnosed me by wiring me to an EEG machine while hyperventilating on purpose. I lost consciousness in the middle of the study.

I didn’t know that. I would like to know how to get more informed about these kind of structural differences on CPU generations.

Going back to the what you said, Intel selling the same silicon as two different generations (even if this is still just marketing terminology) is a bit lame on their side.
