> Nowadays, you can no longer exist in society without a phone If my phone breaks, I will die? :) Perhaps it's this spreading of this lie that it's impossible to live without a phone that is contributing to the problem

I walked into my bank the other day and sorted out something, without an appointment. Just joined an informal queue (no digital queueing system! The humans used their eyes and brain to remember who next ) Handed over my physical debit card

GrapheneOS requires a Google Pixel (currently) though. That's why they omitted it I imagine

The classic 'it's sold as pro-consumer legislation therefore it must be good' we in Europe are very, very used to. Commiserations, California (and likely the rest of the US) - all your games will now be subscriptions.

This is ok though because humans drive into flood waters too. Look, you can't make progress without getting your feet wet and then diving straight into the deep end.

Maybe a good advert for Claude; but a terrible, terrible advert for the stewardship and governance of the Bun project.

Which persons were attacked by their comment? The "them" is confusing me – I interpreted it as Bun the organisation / Anthropic?

What proof would be necessary to convince you, out of curiosity? In concrete terms.

Most submissions involving criticism of big tech gets those kind of replies. Par for the course here. You just have to skip reading them because it seems there's no stopping those 100% genuine replies

Moving to the UK is one option. It's been cloudy for about 7 months!

It was not meant as whining. Did you fail to realise my points were aimed at gaining a bigger audience and increasing sign ups? An attempt at constructive criticism > not everyone wants to copy big tech. Yeah sure increasing signups is t

I'll preface this with a statement that as a European I want European alternatives to succeed, and MS-owned GitHub to shrivel and disappear. But in case anyone from Codeberg reads this, IMO landing and signup pages need a lot of improv

Exactly my experience. You describe it more diplomatically than I do hah. To me, young people just don't seem to know, or want to know, that information and knowledge can be gained from a person. It's the arrogance of youth x100 T

Makes it an easier sell politically. If you position it as dangerous to kids in particular, your opposition then looks like they're encouraging child harm.

IANAL How can AI learn the secret procedural tricks? Where's the training data? And is there a legal consequence for AI giving bad/incorrect legal advice? Can they get disbarred? Can you be sure the AI tool even read an entire pie

Yeah that's accurate. Some of those touristy things are very expensive and could buy a few pints instead > No-one's going to look askance if you spend a day in the BM, V&A, or National Gallery Askance! Love that word! I dig

by gib444 6mo ago
Not the parent but it's lowbrow to do touristy things in London. And if you aren't going on holiday or an expensive weekend away or to an expensive restaurant, you're poor and your career is failing. I only half jest

Sounds like an interesting case of incorrectly trusting user input. The idempotency key should have been viewed as the untrustworthy hint it really is. Then you can decide whether an untrustworthy hint is what you really need. At that point
