This is amazing! It brings back old school feelings. Just turn it on and let it run in the background. The limited choice is sooo freeing.

I agree with most of your points. However, I stand by my point that corporations looking to cut costs moved those production jobs abroad. This will happen time and again under capitalism. I think blaming the working poor is not the right co

I disagree. It's good that people scrutinize and resist corporate greed. Accepting that "AI" (whatever that means) should be in every single product I use is not adapting. It's bending over. People have the power to vote

A million times this. Modern and efficient train networks are the best way to travel, even for longer distances of a few thousand kilometers (night trains). Sure, there are still use cases for flying, but the dismissiveness of people who ha

Don't try to weasel your way out of this. Just be honest and say you like working on cool plane tech stuff and admit it's not great for the environment when more people will fly. No shame in that. Or maybe there is shame, but that

Just because something is used for varnishing doesn't mean it's unhealthy. Can you post any serious and credible source that says linseed oil is unhealthy?

This is really low for a for-profit company to pull. "We won't pay you, but we will use you to make more money". Jesus, at least pay their conference tickets, hotels or travels.

Sorry, but this is not me being pedantic. Many vegtable seed oils also have beneficial micronutrients. For example linseed oil has a lot of Omega-3. Sunflower oil has Vitamin E and K. "Worst type of food known to man" is a very st

It's impossible to solve with LLMs. You keep adding RAGs until you're back at a non-LLM implementation. LLMs are probabilistic. Most programs, including SQL, need to be deterministic to provide value.

Exactly. The best PII is no PII. If you need PII for security reasons, keep it as short as possible. Don't collect PII for marketing, product dev etc.

It's not a clear and cut case with IPs. As you say, if your servers logs IPs that seems to be classified as "legitimate interest" (for security reasons). But if you use that data to track unique users for product dev, marketi

It probably depends on how for you go with the fingerprinting. If it's only user agent, I would guess it's ok. If you start adding more and more info to the fingerprint, it will become PII at one point. Not sure about how much of

Thanks! Yes, we love contributors. Just make sure to check first to see if it's a feature that we actually want added before doing all the work (open an issue or a discussion on GitHub).
