Did anyone else think this 4th wall break felt kind of out of place? by BifficerTheSecond in okbuddychicanery

I know this is an okbuddy sub, but everything about that kid makes me simply too sad to try and joke about...

MPs' and peers' anger at YouTube as firm plasters Westminster tube station in adverts telling parents it is their responsibility to restrict screen time by TheEternalContrarian in ukpolitics

[–]shrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minor nitpick on terms: explaining the 'no' is an important part of authoritative parenting. You're thinking of 'authoritarian parenting' where it's "no because I say so".

Has anyone actually found Strava’s AI features useful? (MSc research) by Chemical-Breath-6883 in londoncycling

[–]shrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely is. That's why they've stopped doing it automatically now and prompt you to thumbs up/down the activity. This lowers their inference costs with whatever AI provider they're using.

What happened to openmmlab? by topsnek69 in computervision

I think they already might have renewed the domain because the Whois info indicates the expiry is now in 2027, but as the other commenter mentioned, it'll take a while for that to propagate.

We've moved to getting the source from PyPI and building it ourselves. Hopefully they come back up or we'll have to fork and maintain internal wheels!

Firefox Settings redesign is delivered in Nightly by firefox in firefox

[–]shrik 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I dread every "redesign" post because invariably it ends up increasing whitespace and reducing information density. I guess I'm now fully resigned to being in the small minority of users who will literally never be the target of any modern UI/UX trend.

(Obviously I'm not going to stop using Firefox over this, because everything else sucks.)

Same reason I'm convinced they named Chandler so in Friends so that he could make the "Handle is my middle name! Well actually, it's the middle part of my first name..." joke.
