I am talking about many things. Also about my programs, but also data. Programs are not that important for me. They are just vehicles to get the job done. All my programs and data are open. It is something that anybody can pick up, and use

I am nobody. I have little impact. I want my programs to be safe from government intrusions, from age checks, from encryption backdoors, from corporate surveillance. How do I win this battle with big tech? I am deeply in self-host. For the

I have a list of many youtube channels. However 2 days ago google marked my page as harmful, so probably not that many will be able to access it. https://rumca-js.github.io/feeds

OpenAI was already found to be integrating ads into API. It is only a matter of time. Enshitiffication is inevitable. Google participates in AI bubble. When it pops, they will aggressively seek monetization. Be ready to see chatbot output t

Age verification has always been about normalization of it, and about mitigating snow flake blame. - I always give my children unlocked devices, because I know what they are doing - Internet is not a safe space, and there will always be mea

I think the cost and work remains the same. What has change is efficiency. Previously people had to manually program byte after byte. Then came C and streamlined it, allowing faster development. With python I can write a simple debugging UI

I think as a society we miss some kind of 'laws', or 'rules' around accounts and banning. I feel that sometimes corporations have all 3 montesquieu powers. Google can define eulas, decide if you should be punished, and a
