Are there any app that uses the Tor network and existing hidden protocols to provide anonymous chat? This could be an alternative to some of the instant messaging systems that provide privacy but not anonymity. I know that some chat messagi

None of that should prevent anyone from using Firefox. There are no alternatives, nearly all other browsers are built on Chromium. Making FF more prominent will not give Google more power, it will give Mozilla more power to negotiate better

Does anyone know if there is a “wikipedia-only” or way to constrain the knowledge of a LLM (trained on a more limited set of sources or constrained by limited sources of facts)? I think a LLM interface to Wikipedia could be useful, at least

It’s true, but also not true. E-bikes allow a lot of people to cycle who otherwise wouldn’t ride at all. If you’re reasonably fit, or only use your normal bike on routes you are confident you can ride at your fitness level, then do that wit

I recently found these tiny Invoxia GPS trackers that use the LORA network to send their whereabouts. It’s really tiny, like half a stick of gum but lasts weeks between charges. Sends a notification whenever the bike is moved and tracks loc

In France, many cities and regions offer non-negligible subsidies to locals wanting to purchase an e-bikes (I think it also works for regular bikes). These schemes have boosted the adoption of e-bikes and most cities, big and small, have be

It seems like something I'd want, but the site doesn't give enough information about what the product is. It states a few high-level goals, like Office integration, but it doesn't say _how_. Who is the target customer? Some o

That's clearly not the point here. The parent isn't rooting for ICE, he's rooting for having a vehicle that doesn't stream data to the outside. There is nothing that mandates that a vehicle -whatever its technology-, mus

I remember having to deal with the early GFW about 20 years ago when I was working for a company that had some employees on a site in Shanghai. Every morning, our colleagues in China would open their mail client and it would connect to our

They actively sought tourists. Made them believe the system was safe, sufficiently enough to persuade them to get on board and pay $250k. Had the company not be deluding itself and be more responsible, they would never have opened the sub t

Do you have to pay to license QML? Qt looks nice but license fees are pretty expensive for small shops. Could use the GPL version but I’m just afraid of becoming dependent on a tool that will keep the most interesting features only availabl

Standards should be accessible and cheap. It would be of the EU’s interest to make all standards available for free or a nominal fee to certain types of organisations : open source, startups, something like: if you make less than X-million

It’s ok. Either Google manages to follow these principles, which to me look aligned to their announced intent for more ethical AI use, or they won’t, and that means their product won’t follow the basic ethical guidelines proposed by the EU

I would say first thing is to disable Windows Explorer from hiding the extension of files. From what I understand, it was an executable inside a zip attachment to an email disguising itself as a partnership proposal from a reputable source.

From what he describes, the file disguised itself a PDF but may have been an executable instead, so the PDF viewer was probably never launched. I blame Windows hiding the extension of known files by default. `anything.pdf.exe` would show as
