I don’t know why the atproto/bluesky crowd keeps coming up with things people don’t really want. The problem with engagement based socials (even when they call themselves open) was never the feed and certainly not the “lack of AI”. And

But that’s not where you want your chats now is it? E2EE? And how does it keep it all private since apparently the Bluesky bros haven't figured that part out?

“Your data isn’t trapped on our servers” - where is it then? Who can access it? “Open social” is so much bs compressed in a couple of buzzwords.

> Swift has remained largely an Apple ecosystem Even today, with the fancy Swift 6.3, the experience of using Swift for anything other than apps for Apple platforms is very painful. There is also the question of trust - I don't thin

Of course, remember Apple championed the idea with iMessage scanning which at the time produced A LOT of discussion e.g. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/2021-we-told-apple-don...

Apple could’ve opted to use the same (open, portable, privacy respecting) mechanism the euID architecture offers for such cases but of course Apple doesn’t do privacy, portable or open.

A better question perhaps is why we’ve allowed ourselves to be so vulnerable by a single provider (GitHub). Supply chain attacks would have a significantly smaller blast radius if people start using their own forges. GitHub as a social netw

On ATProto: it’s funny how we never learn the lesson: - VCs band together to fund something shiny. - Devs love shiny, helping spread the something. - VCs enschitify it to get their coins back.

You know what would be actually cool and a transformative improvement? Mozilla to make an iOS port of Firefox and publish it in regions where Apple has been forced to allow it.

I use bash scripts. Both Claude and Vibe support all kinds of arguments if you need a prompt to “become a task”. Bash is also deterministic and easy to read and debug.

Indeed, but even for coding use cases, Vibe is more of a focused “refactor/ write this function” aid than “write me an app” and it can work locally. For me that’s a lot more valuable as an accelerator to my workflow where the developer

The point of the study is to raise awareness that there is a gap in regulation that should be addressed to ensure consumer safety when exposure from multiple devices can exceed the safety limits. No single pair is “bad” for you at the momen

So turning our backs on globalisation was a mistake after all. Everyone needs everyone to work well together. So much winning. My PC was due for an upgrade this year (still using a video card from 2019)… so I really hope this keeps working

I don’t think you’re overreacting. Great care and attention is required for critical system components and LLMs lack both. Not to mention the copyright risks - do we really want a piece of code that can’t be licensed or turns out to be a ve
