Hardware manufacturers teaming up with and paying for open source software and operating systems is truly how I think we could escape enshittification. Just give me the hardware and let me run good software on it that works with your hardwa

Well as I said in 2026 before Trump got elected the firdt time: Trump will ultimately lead to fascism. And fascism famously tries to align its industries with the state. Now I made that judgement in my 2016 based on what I have read about t

I run a medialab in an art university. My suggestion is that it will have the opposite effect as I now see students who would have never dared to use code, use it. I have also seen a LLM suggest electrical advice to a student that would hav

I program for 20 years. More than half of my life. Some people forget how they felt as beginners, I did not. Which I know, since I teach programming as well. As a beginner syntax is the hard thing, remembering how to write a thing. As a beg

Good advice. However for some genres that approach won't work, since they are either too new, too niche, the genre-description says too little about the actual songs etc. If this is the case another tip is to go at it from the producti

That is a solved issue and has mainly to do with a badly designed connector and has been resolved since the late 2000s. Glued in batteries don't use any other connector than batteries that are glued in. And if your case isn't desi

This is the role we need governments to take. If you want your government to work like a corporation for some reason, why not go to a country where the govnment is weak and corporations bribe it instead? Would give you some good image how w

As someone who does electronic repairs I welcome this. There are too many devices where the battery is the first point of failure and it is glued in. The number of batteries I could only remove with hot air and heat due to the battery being

A particular aspect of the discussion is also: What makes you trust that once micropayments are around ads will stop? Look at other services, like Netflix for example. They will happily have you pay and show you ads if they feel they can

Well the problem I see with this is that the population means very little in terms of national politics in comparison to most modern democratic nations. So you can be California which in terms of population and GDP will surpass most of cent

Small addition: you can also run the signal through a different chain C and then compare B and C. And since they ran through the same DAC, output filters, output connectors, input connectors, preamp and ADC, aside from noise the only measua
