Shows that no one is immune from the marketing BS of these companies.

Probably some other type of ads '[..] in your area' will use this as well.

I'm guessing that's at least (partly) the impetus for why we're seeing these articles now.

Yup, it was written around 1948. Easy to remember as you just swap the final 2 digits.

Guess Flock is trying that for the US as a POC ;)

Frequently when someone mentions Proton on HN the response is along the lines of what you just did. In the big scheme of things, I’d trust Proton more than Google and other big tech companies even if they aren’t perfect.

Fair enough, I get the sentiment about not putting all eggs in 1 basket, but if your choice is between 1 ecosystem (Google / Apple / Proton), I’d argue in favour of Proton. :)

It’s my most used website according to Apple Screentime. So you’re probably right (daily average around 30 min).

Might be nit-picking but forum != social media (to me).

Where did he make that point? I’m seeing him live for the second time next month. Huge fan, he’s one of my favourite comedians. (Although his “autobiography” is not something I’d recommend, it’s essentially a self help book instead of biogr

Given they accept any input that presumably matches a regex it doesn’t matter which one you choose. But if you are looking for a new email provider and de-Google your life, I’m pretty with ProtonMail and their other offerings. Also moved my

Lol I didn't even think about Gemini missing from the list. Not sure what that says about Gemini or me :)

They have like a 5% market share. So in the big picture, almost no one uses Grok. But it's not nothing.

Think of it like one big distributed system. OpenAI is down, so people migrate to Claude, now this one gets overloaded and goes down, etc. So not a coincidence, one went down first and users migrated causing further DOS. At least that'

Lol, I quite like the show and considered watching it. But then thought other passengers on the plane might see it and become a bit unsettled by it. So last few times I opted for "To Catch A Smuggler". Still flight related but hop

I'd be insanely stressed about this. While at the same time realizing that logically it has flown for _years_ without incident afterwards.

Yes but you need to be sure it is an Oyster Mushroom in the first place.

Ads are part of the enshitification of ChatGPT. In the short-term it might offer them some kind of lifeline and I'm sure in their next investor call they'll highlight their revenue from Ads. But if their competitors (including ope

Trusting an LLM with a decision that can potentially be fatal is a good Darwin test I suppose. Sadly I don’t think the general populace understands that LLMs are unreliable. (And even people in tech can vastly overestimate the capabilities.

Guessing other countries will follow (France already did, and Germany was discussing it IIRC).

Steam Machine looks genuinely interesting, but the price is painful. Not their fault of course :(

+1 for Zen, it's a great browser. I've been using it for 1.5 years now and I'm loving the UI/UX.

by Insanity 24d ago
I'm sure it's mostly Chrome and not Chromium that people hate.

by Insanity 24d ago
I'm holding on.. in a way. I've switched to Zen about a year ago after ~2 decades of Firefox. It's a fork of Firefox so I'm counting it as supporting Firefox anyway. However, on my iPhone and iPad I've stuck with Sa

Damn, that's a lot of magazines! Sorry, couldn't resist. Never got those as it was a bit before my time, I started coding in 2004'ish in EU and wasn't aware of 2600 until much later. Not sure if they ever moved digital?

If your sample set is Battle.net games, could be an issue with Battle.net. I've not tried any Battle.net games so can't compare with Nobara. I think we might both be dealing with a skewed sample set haha, given I only really playe

Yeah, I hadn't used Fedora-based distros for over a decade. I haven't ran into issues with Nobara, but I'm sure that if I do any LLM can help me debug/resolve them. Definitely lowers the barrier of entry for someone enti

Nobara Linux, which is based on Fedora. I used the "Gnome" installer rather than "official" because I still want a regular desktop experience. I've been on Linux for development since 2008 as well so I wanted an &qu

Yeah I guess the confusion is the overloaded term "work". It _runs_ on Linux, but it's not effective on any system.
