The State of #Java on #Kubernetes 2026: Why Defaults are Killing Your #Performance

…OK, that plus human training on basic usage opsec, but that’s mostly not a stuff app vendors can fix. Although usability defaults would help with some of it.

Did anyone regularly listen to double LPs in the intended order? Digital renderings should offer sides 1, 4, 2, and, finally, 3 as one of two defaults (along with the theoretically correct order).

isn't it crazy how I can write an essay with a pen and paper or a typewriter or a computer and it still sounds like me but the second I copy-and-paste a wikipedia article it sounds different? what gives? I thought plagiarism was just another tool?

Screenshot from this article: https://xeiaso.net/blog/2026/ai-abstraction/

I'm going to keep talking to you as an equal. It's the most effective part of my style: I write like I'm sitting across from you, not lecturing down at you. Generative AI defaults to the authoritative explainer voice — the one that sounds like every other. Resisting that pull now takes conscious effort.

Aoi: So the tools are making it harder to sound like yourself?

Cadey: Not harder exactly. More like... the…

My recent experience with #VSCode started very badly.
Since, it improved immensely. Now I have a couple of days of coding on some small Go projects that felt good.
I am still struggling with shortcuts. In particular `F12` and `Ctrl- -`. I am sticking with the defaults for now.

Obvious inflammatory rhetoric.
Also, "because X11 did it that way" is the single stupidest reason possible for deleting a feature that has been standard on *nix platforms since the 1980s.

GNOME developer Jordan Petridis has submitted the code to remove middle-click paste behavior from GNOME defaults, which he considers "an X11ism." The merge request concludes "Goodbye X11."

Starting in January, the Trump administration says it will
garnish the wages of student loan borrowers who haven’t been able to make their payments for at least nine months.
“It’s cruel and hostile to working people to turn the system on before we’re sure that we can run it in a compliant manner,”
says Julia Barnard, higher education team lead at the Debt Collective and former student loan ombudsman at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The #WordPress List View isn’t very useful by default with complex blocks. This experiment defaults to expanding 20 items more evenly across block levels, with options to change that number.

finally got around to "move my archive of scanned documents out of google drive" with the help of a lovely program "ocrmypdf", which is basically a python wrapper around tesseract and various pdf tools, but it's a really well done wrapper.
the simple invocation:
`ocrmypdf input.pdf output.pdf`
does what I want. the defaults are sensible. and now I can pdfgrep when I need to find that thing from 20 years ago that I still have for questionable "I do…

”My argument is that the current structure of public conversation has the same effect on human cognition that a botnet has on a web server. It's simply exhausting you. And an exhausted mind defaults to heuristics and tribal allegiances, aka whatever position allows it to conserve the most cognitive energy.”

Have tidied up kwin_wayland patch to change the hardcoded gestures to sensible defaults, and I am working my way through implementing a file-based configuration interface for all possible inbuilt gestures that kwin_wayland can send. I'm not sure if this is all going to work thanks to Wayland's certifiably insane paranoid security model, but at least I should be able to let you decide how many fingers to swipe with what direction of swipe triggers a built-in gesture in the wm.

For work I have a script that archives a bunch of files from time to time (they are usually around 4.5GiB). After compression with 7-Zip defaults they get reduced to about 515 MiB but since it is a limited VM this takes half an hour. I played with 7z options and got it down to a reasonable size (685MiB) in around 48s, which is great but playing further with other compression options I found a Zstandard combo that got it down to around 800 MiB in only 20 seconds. Much bigger but small enough …
