I don't get it. They say it doesn't need JavaScript. But how command is declared? And they show example rotating img with JS

I don't understand how come it happen? It is a human who wrote that blog post - it is for sure. I don't believe the automatic program which is "agent" could do it!

gitowiec — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 08:28:41 +0000

I'm also from EU. I tip only at restaurants, only 10% on average. The prices when recently up like 50% or so. So adding the tip on top of that is a hustle. And 10% on the higher price is also higher tip, so I am double assured I do good

If you allow him to stay, and do the learning (if he's willing to) you would be magical fairy granting wishes. There is no such work place with such an attitude

New comment by gitowiec in "How DOS was able to use most of the 1 MB address space of the 8086"

gitowiec — Sat, 20 Jan 2024 17:08:15 +0000

Thank you for this article. It reminded me how I was profitable in DOS memory optimization. To run game like Mortal Kombat, Doom, Dune, Dune 2 or others I got very good in optimizing. I remember now how I wrote my own config.sys and autoexec.bat files or run MemMaker. This is a piece of history for part of us

Never used it, never knew it existed and I'm using Internet from the 1997. Seeing all the warm comments here I suppose it's like IRC for me.

I and my friends 3 years ago switched to closed group on Signal. We switched from our makeshift mail group we used for 10 years (we all were just using "reply to all" to the infinity). Thanks god Signal has mute option. The emails always waited for me not knocking on the doors like Jehovah's witnesses!

New comment by gitowiec in "Meta's new AI is being used to create sex chatbots"

gitowiec — Tue, 27 Jun 2023 18:59:04 +0000

Is it wrong if I ask here where I can find Allie chatbot? I would like to try it. The only AI I chatted with is ChatGPT. It is very polite, but I often hit a wall where it says "I'm just an algorithm... So I can't do what you ask". I would like to experience more freedom when interacting with such an entity, to feel what it is like.

How it is even possible to run Linux only with 8MB of RAM? In the article it's Ubuntu, it's the distro what I use on my Dell i7 gen. 3 laptop.
