At the same time as we have companies trying to push their humanoid robots with AI and all, we finally have devices able to communicate with each other again. Vendor locking is such a stupid thing.

And even via IR port.

What kind of a discussion can there be? It's very simple. I don't want any business or individual or whatever to collect any of my personal data if I don't agree to it. Right now companies do everything they can to do the opp

That's true. But it's just a small part of overall tracking. And nobody would care if the cookies were used only for auth or purely functional reasons.

I think we better remove the problem itself that come up with more and more ways to mitigate it.

Everything you mentioned is advanced knowledge. An average person, who doesn't deal with all these technicalities simply doesn't know this. It's like Telegram saying that it's the most secure messenger while not offering

But we are not dealing here with the public data. Stalking people, recording their every step and action so then you can sell their behavioural habits is not collecting public data, it’s stalking and invading people's private life.

I get that too many regulations is a bad thing. But when we talk privacy and personal data there should be no gray zone. It has to be black and white. When I see a stupid cookie banner I search for "Reject all". There's no so

On the GoToSocial website it's clear what it is, how it works and how to get started. The Nostr website seems more like they want me to sign up and start using their server/relay. And I had to spend some time searching for how to

That's what puzzles me. In the fediverse where you can mute anyone on the user level, admins feel the urge to ban those who they see as bad actors.

Never heard of it. Thanks! I'll take a look.

My personal experience with any approach I tried ended up in a semi-failure state. I can't trust LLM and have to check everything myself to either actually solve a problem or be sure that the LLM did not invent things. This fact simply

Yes, I know this. But it feels overkilling to host a server which is capable of hosting thousands of users just for me alone. I'd like something small, dedicated just for my own usage. Kind of a way to have my RSS feed discoverable and

Decentralisation on Mastodon is an illusion. For me a truly decentralised thing is where I am a node that transmits and can receive transmissions, like radios. When there has to be a server that's being administrated by somebody, this

As a pedestrian I can say that the headlights are too bright everywhere I visit. If a car goes up a slope and I go down it's like somebody holds a flashlight right up my eyes. I don't understand why these mandatory lights should b

It's not my personal observation. It's a general observation. I witnessed only one person in real life who said that they use AI in their job and they are completely satisfied with it. The rest point out the poor quality of the ou

There's nothing to elaborate actually. The state of the AI currently does not allow to use seriously. If we mean "then spend N amount of time reviewing and trying to make a better output", then yes, I can agree that AI is usa

This is kind of a good way to understand that people who never really struggled in life aren't able to understand, step into struggling's person's shoes. It's simply an unknown concept for them. Everyone's values, p

I'm a bit envious of people who can spend so much attention, time, resources on a font that to me appears as yet another one out there. The presentation is great.

I had a very little percentage of leetcode-like tests while my job search. And it's been long already. I do not motivate myself at all. I just hate it. These are absolutely irrelevant puzzles that I almost never face in real-life work.

For a studio or a professional - sure. For me, an amateur, who simply does film photography for his own amusement, it makes no sense. I also use standing development process that takes around 40 mins. So the speed is irrelevant for me.

I got my relatively portable scanner for around ~100 euros, plus the software for 100 as well if I’m not mistaken. And it works fine. It’s weird for me that with the advancing technology people keep coming up with higher price with an excus

This doesn't work. It's better to prompt an agent with specific questions per subject. Having this general AI interpretation of a doc can be amazingly misleading. Nice idea, but unfortunately absolutely useless and even time wasti

Personally I just couldn't see all the extra layers as comfortable tools. It's a very rare thing that I need to see branches, relation between them etc. Using cli has always been the most reliable and simple way for me.The only gi

How about also reviewing the copyright laws in favour of the public? The AI actors consume everything for profit and nobody cares. But if an ordinary Joe does this for personal amusement, he should face consequences. This whole thing is obv

You can't evaluate bicycle's efficiency in the city only by looking at the rider's consumed energy. There's a lot of other things to it. In a modern city using a bike takes the same amount of time as using public transpo
