Reptur commented on Peerweb: Decentralized website hosting via WebTorrent   peerweb.lol/... · Posted by u/dtj1123
Reptur · 13 days ago
Heads up: I left a Peerweb link open overnight (~8 hours) hoping it would load. It consumed ~15GB of memory and triggered an OOM kill, crashing the browser. Browser: LibreWolf (latest) OS: Fedora 43

I also had success, less negotiating, more just helping me form the letters in a few minutes rather than hours so I could get reimbursed for denied coverage, and it did get reimbursed.

The title sort of implies this is intentional or privileged to Apple, while it rather seems more like just a bug.

I also wish people would post the FB numbers and the details of their report when they say they've reported things like this.

Devil's advocate would say: They could do this and make it look like a bug that never gets fixed in order to avoid backlash. How it gets achieved is flexible if the goal is met.

Would have totally used these back in the Tripod hosting days of the 90s. Cool.

81 is still too high. Should make it a max of 60.

I hope it's not just a prototype press release, will help people with hearing loss..

Could be a game changer for people with auditory processing disorder too.

It seems the article forgot to mention that Microsoft is actively pursuing nuclear energy in response, which is a significant omission.

Read up on primate behavior. Top executives are alpha males, and didn't get there without lots of compulsive control-seeking, dominance-asserting, etc. behavior patterns.

Except the concept of “alpha male” was debunked.

is a feather a discovery or an invention? (am actual philosophical inquisition)
Reptur · 2 years ago
"Discovery" fits since we're just uncovering what's already there, not creating it. "Invention" is for stuff we actually make. Unsure if just a mistake or creationist perspective in the article.
