What I'm taking issue in is the many opinions on how to build something really useful yourself. I love Obsidian, because it does what it does great - taking notes, easy and fast navigation, no bullshit. What I don't like is the ur

Is anything not potentially compromised these days? Wow.

I think you're right. Even though France might not have done much yet, it's a sign many people will read about and maybe think Linux is a good alternative. That's a win in my book. AI and cloud are another thing altogether. M

Wait, do we not want incompetent users on Linux? That's a weird take. Linux is not for elite technologically profound users, it's for everybody. If things don't work for non-technical users, we should strive to make it better

Europe as a whole doesn't have or not have a spine.. it'a a huge, complicated accumulation of interests with an insane bureaucratic apparatus behind it.

Fair. But also I look at it as a chance. We get to fix lots of bugs. Bugs that bad actors can't use anymore.

Microsoft is a strategic risk for everybody, looking at their track records the last few years.. I don't love Linux, but I like it. It's no-bullshit. It doesn't always do everything perfectly, but it has the right mindset. It

Maybe, but chips cannot hold you hostage during work. I don't care where things are built (except when they are built somewhere where human rights are being treated like shit), software is what locks you into whatever bullshit the comp

So basically more ways of trying to make people buy things, do things, think things than before? I feel like our whole world more and more circulates around manipulation and the absence of truth and discourse. Then again, I do think LLMs ar

So what the hell do they do this for? So you own a car that analyzes your face? Why? Can't we just be left alone? Also, all efforts in this direction set the step-stone to mass-surveillance. But whatever, tech doesn't care about t

Uff. Hard thread to comment on. I'm fairly radical in my opinion regarding AI, moreso AI companies. AI is a fascinating thing, but it's abused by capitalism to be something it is not and shoulnd't be, to be sold to people who

Of course you could, but if it was indeed vibe-coded in a weekend, why wouldn't you want to start from scratch to make sure everything is up to your standards (especially security)? I'm definitely not going to jump in on a vibe-co

Fake news?? I've heard a radio item today where they informed that the internet has a lot of conspiracy theories that Artemis isn't real, images are AI fakes and reports are completely made up. They then proceeded to post a "

Crazy, I've never heard of such a plan anywhere. But given how essential the internet is to everything we do on a daily basis, that makes a lot of sense. However, I would like to see the existing situation that lead to this decision. W

Boy does that resonate with my current feeling. I've spent the last maybe 18 months constantly working, paid, non-paid, voluntary work, side-projects, etc. I almost feel like I'm confusing myself with the amount of work/diffe

Wow that is such a cool idea! And honestly very much needed. LLMs seem to be this blackbox nobody understands. So I love every effort to make that whole thing less mysterious. I will definitely have a look at dabbling with this, may it not

Well, such things were to be expected. It's easy to bash on all the people who haven't gotten the necessary IT understanding of securing such things. Of course, it's uber-dumb to run an unprotected instance. But at the same t

Man, that is actually hilarious. Also reminds you that "Big Tech" doesn't necessarily build great stuff. They sell well, but are they built well? I don't even want to know how Microslops stuff looks behind the scenes :)

I feel like distrust in general is on the rise. We used to just acknowledge that in some areas we have no idea. Therefore, we'd trust others who do. With the internet in its current state, everybody seems to have an idea all whilst it

Interesting take. I regularly switch between just the laptop and my 3 monitor setup. Sometimes I feel like I could use a 4th one because there is just so much stuff to look at when developing. When I get to my laptop I sometimes feel like I

Dude, thanks for this! I'll definitely look through these. I have been struggling with marketing the last months. I've developed a free, privacy-focused productivity app, but I don't want to sell it, myself or people for it.

What the hell. I got so annoyed at level 5 I had to quit :D But I love the idea. It can actually teach you a lot of things about UI design.

Also, I think not-great English does not prohibit you from being you, being competent. Humans have a longstanding history of communicating with limited means. It never stopped us from getting things done.

I do agree on that take. I find AI to be most useful as a sparing partner for my thought process. I also agree with the other commenter that it, of course, can also influence your thought process. We have to stay aware of that and try to st

I very much agree with this. I had several experiences where I wanted to express something in a very particular way, told a LLM about it, and what came out was just so generic that it really wasn't authentic. It didn't represent m

There is already studies that confirm your fear, I think. They found that mainstream language is changing due to AI. Certain words get used proportionally more than before, etc. Also, if you check out some reddits, it's crazy how gener
