It is already illegal, but nobody is doing anything about that.

I’m calling it here that other companies will start advertising dumb fridges on these smart fridges.

More like asking yourself “do I have milk” in the supermarket and being able to check that in a phone app.

Religious fundamentalists famously love being the only source of sexual “education”.

China’s surveillance is beginning to look mild in comparison.

From by experience, that doesn’t exactly equate to forced unemployment here. I do know of a friend from computer science in the UK who struggles to get past any interview, but I don’t perceive the market to be this hostile in Germany, even if not quite as vast as in the past.

Accessing the internet now requires age verification. Gg

I myself am looking forward to dyson spheres powering chat gpt 6.

This is my weekly time to tell lemmings about Kagi, the search engine that does not shove LLM in your face (but still lets you use it when you explicitly want it) and that you pay for with your money, not your data.

People can sell, idk—example—strawberries but they don’t have a “copyright” to them (we will not delve into the discussion of copyright genome sequences here). Unfortunately, copyright not being applicable doesn’t make things free when we look at the existing market.

Dvorak layout, my bad. This typo happens way too often on phone.

All I want for Christmas in Forgejo federation.

I do wonder, is it possible to flash custom firmware onto the nest cameras? I don’t have any, but it would be a pity for alright hardware to go to waste.

“[Elon Musk] said he wanted to get his own X payments platform «going soon»”.

Surely that’s going to solve the problem. There’s absolutely no censorship on Twitter. /s

Same here. Never looked back. My search finally just works.

I despise their business model, their design decisions, and their walled garden. I will agree that the OS is fine. I was forced to use a MacBook at a software development job in the past. It being UNIX was a big point why I didn’t immediately hate it. I will still agree with the other users and say that their hardware is pretty nice and well thought-out (not praising the anti-consument measures like soldered RAM). Still, I would personally never buy their devices due to the aforementioned business practices.

First time I’m hearing them be related to vibe coding. They’ve been very respectable in the past, especially with their open-source CodeMirror.

“[…] leave bluetooth always on”

I love the internet.

I recommend Kagi. It is a search engine with absolutely no tracking or ads, AI slop filter, an in-house index and a cute doggo. It’s a paid search engine (which means you pay with money not with data), but you can give it a try with 300 free searches with no strings attached.
