  • This is not AI bullshit?

    Per their own description

    MCP is an open protocol that enables AI models to securely interact with local and remote resources through standardized server implementations. This list focuses on production-ready and experimental MCP servers that extend AI capabilities through file access, database connections, API integrations, and other contextual services.

    It’s ironic that they’d complain that their PRs are just auto-generated slop when they’re collating tools for that exact purpose. They made that bed, so now they should lie in it.

  • I too am going to call DNS ‘Dennis’ from now on, lol.

    I want to do this because I’m sure it’s going to tick someone off.

    Did you update the Dennis records?

    Have you checked if it can reach the Dennis server?

    I love it!

  • It’s definitely the latter. These are writing contracts to buy hardware that has yet to be produced for data centres that haven’t been built. All so they can satisfy a demand that doesn’t yet exist for a product no one is going to be willing to pay for.

    It will crash. This whole grift is too expensive to keep going. The naysayers keep forgetting that hardware gets old, it wears out and fails, and gets superseded by newer models. The chip makers are riding high now because the idiotic belief of the market is that this will keep growing as the data centres keep being built and the AI companies will keep buying new hardware.

    It just can’t. This candle is burning fast at both ends.

  • Depends on the distribution and the defaults, but yeah it’s decently common for middle click to paste. I’d no idea Mozilla doesn’t respect the OS setting for this though, because I can’t recall ever turning it off in any of the browsers I use, but that could be because the forks are more sensible than Firefox itself.

    In GNOME you have to modify a gsetting, or use something like GNOME Tweaks to disable it. Which is ridiculous, it should really just be under Accessibility > Pointing And Clicking

    I think GNOME is trying hard to overturn the idea that Linux has a rather bad layman user-experience, and part of that is the assumption that a layman doesn’t want too many options because it gets confusing. As a UI/UX person I definitely get this, but as I always argue with the head UX guy at my workplace, we’re not necessarily dealing just with laymen, but people who use our software as everyday tools and they’ll want the options to customise things to their liking.

    Some extra toggles won’t change that. Hell you can hide it behind an “advanced mode” toggle even. Google does that with their idiotic “tap build number umpteen times to enable developer tools.”
