> you are the product Then we need to have a discussion about that because in case of Vivaldi you are in fact not the product.

Anything with “maxxing” in the name is most likely not good for you

This is ridiculous, and what do you have to show for $1.3M? So many sustainable projects that can meaningfully improve the planet with even half that funding and he is just converting water and cash to CO2. The scope of the waste is so fuck

Now can we agree that App Stores as only means of getting software and call home components you can’t disable or replace are a bad idea? We’re slowly normalising that everything happens on whats is effectively a device managed by either App

I’m surprised Apple is still not dogfooding their allegedly safe language Swift. Or was the whole exercise of Swift 6 mostly marketing

by isodev 5mo ago
That's perhaps where the part about educating less tech-savvy folks comes in. There are even professionals in tech under the mistaken belief that Apple meaningfully adds value in exchange for one's freedom to use one's device

Correction, we hate making money at the expense of other peoples rights and liberties. It's kind of frustrating to have to explain that to US folks over and over again... all that "freedom" in their things is apparently very

Does NZ have a right wing government right now? Nothing in the history of anything has ever improved with “Self regulation” so it must be useless policy season.

Oh great, Apple is sherlocking yet another category of apps (and not to mention Apple always had a convoluted and gatekeepy approach to letting passes show up in the Wallet app) I guess there is no appetite for “antitrust” in the US right n

This is not possible. Any product sold in the EU, regardless of where it is shipped from, must comply with EU rules and standards (e.g., safety, environmental, digital market rules…). Customs can and do block non-compliant imports. If Apple

That's what I'm trying to say about Apple's charging bricks

Your blind trust in Apple is misplaced :)

> This is wrong I understand the technical reasons behind it, but in this case - the actual expectation is to be able to use usb-c to charge other gadgets.
104.
by isodev 5mo ago
And on top of that, Apple has that thing where only some devices can charge from their adapters. I have a special adapter just for non-Apple things because the white bricks (despite the usb-c) sometimes just refuse to give power to things.

Google on their proposal: > Browsers and operating systems are increasingly expected to gain access to language models. I think this is only true amongst “AI all the things” folks. Both tech and non-tech people around me are more focused

How is any of this a bad thing? Isn’t the whole point to be able to do whatever you want in your corner of the federation? Also, tangled is atproto based, the big blue mothership will always be in control.

This entire post reads as rage bait. They’re mad because Forgejo has … a process? And what are these vulnerabilities, concretely? > But given the sorry state of the codebase I honesty want a refund on the 10 minutes I wasted reading this

I think in this category, Voxtral by Mistral is a lot better. It also happens to be small enough to run on webGPU https://huggingface.co/spaces/mistralai/Voxtral-Realtime-Web...

Unless you’re in Erlang world (Elixir, Gleam..) and all that is already baked into OTP and the BEAM. You can go on holiday knowing it will be a while longer before you need to break out the pods (and at that scale, you will be able to affor

I think you're missing the point. Nobody removed people thanks to their SO copy-paste skills. If anything, more folks were hired to troubleshoot and sort out any copy pasta blunders (since you actually need working software, at the end

We’ve had eID for a long time and I’m fine with it becoming more prominent online. Same for age verification, once we settle on a way to do it without US/Palantir being involved in the process.

by isodev 6mo ago
It’s ridiculous. Are those investments at least taxed in the US?

by isodev 6mo ago
With everyone doing online “identity” verifications, all these details and more are already available to data brokers. Persona.. I mean Palantir even has a short video of you from your “liveness check” to go with the scan of your ID.

What Meta does (and here I want to be clear that you can replace Meta with Apple, Microsoft, Google, Palantir...) is eventually public knowledge, profusely discussed even on HN. This means substantial amount of people have been aware, for d

So your thing is not achieving something, your business is about keeping people busy all day? Hopefully folks like you are leaving the workforce soon.

> its my manager's job to supervise No it isn’t. The fault with your logic is that you assume people work because they’re supervised.

Has anyone asked Palantir and their many subsidiaries and foundations what they have on Zuck?

If one doesn't want rug-pulls, one signals their policy makers to create regulation to prevent it. Otherwise it's just... uncapped capitalism or what's the name

I know right, so much pain and horror has been unleashed in the world by Meta… I have zero sympathy for their employees. Someone should’ve said no to developing this tech in the first place but here we are.

I don’t get the surprise or discontent. People hooking themselves up to a paid SaaS that only two vendors can offer (Anthropic and OpenAI), no competition or regulation to speak of… of course they’ll do whatever they want with their plans.
