This predates the ai bubble. There used to be a really common “plagiarism detector” (something like CheckMeIn?] that would generate a “similarity score” with a database of literature. Institutions were welcome to set their own thresholds of what they considered too similar. I hit the threshold multiple times in completely original works by using language that was simply too literary or formal in nature.

Mind I had been accused of plagiarism by teachers prior to those tools for much the same reason based only on vibes, so maybe that was a step up, since students could use it ahead of time.

There was a news story around that time of somebody getting taken through disciplinary action due to getting close to 100% similarity on the tool - eventually to discover that their own essays had Venn included in the database.

PCjs uses JavaScript to emulate a small collection of hardware and software that I grew up with in the 1970s and 1980s, allowing you to experience their slow CPUs, low-resolution displays, and primitive sound effects, all in the comfort and safety of your desktop or mobile web browser.

Over time, PCjs emulations have expanded to include selected IBM PC Compatibles and more classic machines, such as Minicomputers, Programmable Calculators, Terminals, and Arcade Games. To learn more or contribute to these very modest preservation efforts, visit the PCjs open-source project on GitHub.

I’ve hung out with swans heaps in Australia and they’ve been almost entirely chill bros who will take food if offered but won’t harass you for it. I wonder if different species have different demeanours, like how Canada geese are known for being especially aggressive.

Tag yourself. I’m “large, rolling rock”

Thanks, I was reading this as pertaining to subsequent children, not stages, and was confused

I don’t have a specific recommendation, but I believe the key words to search for these days are “Digital Audio Player”.

I’ve been following the open hardware Tangara for a while, but they’re between production runs right now so you can’t buy from them (you might be able to build your own though, the design is all there)

As a heads up, like so many other technologies the middle has fallen out of the market thanks to the proliferation of smart phones. You’ll be paying a lot for anything decent from what I’ve seen

I can hear this picture

What’s the second crank for?

Hilariously this is the easiest way to get HDMI-CEC support on a (Linux) PC

Also known as gesture typing or swype, typing by dragging your finger for each word rather than tapping each letter.

Removed by mod

Just a heads up, glide typing requires loading a closed source library in Heliboard. Instructions are in the readme and it’s pretty straightforward, but it’s something to be aware of.

HeliBoard let’s you move the cursor by swiping on the space bar. Is that what iOS does?

God forbid you don’t squeeze every drop out of your customers

Every time

Word suggestions/spell checking are not included in the current releases and are a major goal for the v0.6 milestone.

I’ve been watching Florisboard since before that text read “v0.5”. It’s a good keyboard but can’t be a daily driver for me without that.

I had to make that technology decision recently and decided on Zigbee. I don’t see any real advantage to Matter other than future support, and current support is much much lower than Zigbee.

The “seamless internet/cloud connection” is a massive turnoff. Products proudly advertising Matter and then hiding Thread vs WiFi is a pain. And frankly only IKEA really seems to be offering anything Matter with AU plugs and they’re super coy about it so I’m never confident about what I’m getting.

Check what version of Syncthing-fork you’re running. IIRC there was a major breaking change between 1.x and 2.x, so they published a new app to make sure people only upgraded deliberately.

AFAICT F-droid hasn’t built the new app (yet?). The redirect is on GitHub’s end. You can also install older versions through F-Droid if you prefer (but not 1.x, I don’t believe those are published anymore)

Aged?

I’m pretty sure passionfruit flowers cribbed off trek here. You can’t convince me that tripod started as an organic design.
