Public schools, public transport, well, public everything is being dismantled or cost-savings-worsened by neoliberal governments all across Europe. I've yet to live in a country where the public institutions aren't being torn ap

The irony, as crime has been declining for decades, yet it's the reason for every new authoritarian law under the sun.

As someone tracking their daily nutrition for 10 years (yikes!), I can confidently say that I've never eaten worse than when I have to be at the office. It's just much more exhausting, I don't know. Ego depletion has been dis

This is one of the most exaggerated takes on the country I've come across. I lived there for 8 years and Germany is, frankly, a superb place to live. I left Germany 3 times and my quality of life took a hit each time. The first 2 I wen

No need for a link, it's about board games and the rules are (paraphrasing): 1. If you can't make it, let the host know the day before or morning of the event. 2. If you're playing at a venue, try to buy food or drinks from

The banking sector in the US had assets north of 12 trillion dollars. AI last year had about 100–150 billion dollars of market cap. I think because we hear about AI so much, we tend to exaggerate its importance?

Look, I've no reason to defend him. I do like Basecamp and the books that have been published by the team. That said, I don't care one iota if a millionaire formerly-cool guy digs himself a grave. Okay, that's my online-manda

But hey, it “empowers researchers and hackers to experiment with models by giving them control over the algorithms and data ”. PR and marketing will literally write anything they can get away with. Thanks for pointing out the TOS hole.

The actual verifiable savings so far we're 1.4 billion dollars. And that's not accounting for the damage these savings will do to the overall economy since, e.g., firing people increases unemployment claims and lowers sales tax.

I agree with a sibling poster that it's not necessarily about wealth. I think it's about power. Those who attain power are corrupted enough to seek to hold on to it; and spying on those you govern is one of the ways to hold on to

Chat Control is being heavily lobbied for by a… spyware company. Cof, sorry, cof, a for-the-good-of-the-children company.

I'm the ‘enforcer’ of a fairly large board games meetup, and the CoC is very simple: there's 3 rules. Newcomers are especially likely to ignore some of these rules, so I notify them the first 2 times. 3rd strike and they're o

Yours is a very obnoxious comment; one that I agree with entirely. I'm happy for finding the website and like its content, but I do dislike that little feature. Leave links alone!

I'm not sure about generational. We take our baby to swimming classes where it is forbidden to take photos or record video — except on the family day. It's always the millennial or boomer parents/grandparents recording stuff

It is an undeniably strong influence in the video games scene, with increasing revenue each year apart from minor tumbles. I despise what it stands for, but EA being called irrelevant?

That's a very good approach. What I've been trying to do is have the critical apps on the iPhone, which stays home; then take the Graphene around as much as possible. It's making me use the phone less as well, since my Pixel

Companies are made of people, not just their figurehead. Jobs wasn't a nice person, as it's been documented. And if he was surrounded by MBAs and PMs trying to make a career, the results might be similar to what we have. I do thin

I've ran Graphene for a year to complement an iPhone; sadly, Device Attestation makes it non-viable as a main phone. Banking apps and what we used to id ourselves are a whack-a-mole of incompatibility. For everything else, I do think i

Oh, I remembered it wrong. It's just an automatic reply. The condescending one was to my suggestion to use median values instead of averages.

We use Nara to track our baby's food intake and sleep. A couple of months ago I noticed Little Snitch complaining about the app making new connections to malware domains. Thankfully I can run the app on macOS and noticed it. When confr

And the substantial increase in profits for all providers, which isn't comparable to that of our neighbours. Our disposable income in Belgium really exists to subsidise energy companies, supermarkets, and a pathetic housing market.

Wouldn't that mean that Intel Macs would have a much worse battery life than they did while suspended? Even suspended they did better than the same laptop running Linux.

While I'm partial to your cynic interpretation — after all Cloudlfare is a for-profit US business —, the model isn't that far from what Jaron Lanier had proposed in ’Who Owns The Future?‘ (2010). In the book he explains how these

I paid for the previous version, but you do have to admit the lack of syncing to an iPhone is a huge gap in the feature set. The new paid upgrade doesn't offer a solution either.

It could simply be the inertia of having started down this path. Perhaps the gambit was that VisionOS would have gotten more consumer acceptance, so let's go ahead and make everything closer in UI. It seems to me like a ridiculous bet.

Some years ago I had my first panic attack at work. Walking home was an atrocity; and since then I'm much more aware of how noisy a city can be. Now I have a kid I often walk around. You're even more sensitive to city noises when
