I feel the days of free YouTube front ends is coming to an end. I’m honestly surprised they’re still alive. Didn’t they try to kill yt-dlp recently? Together with their playstore developer verifications, YouTube VPN restrictions, making life harder for Android derivatives, YouTube ad blockers, and on and on, I don’t see a bright future for anything that piggybacks off of Google’s back.

Not sure if this is a whoosh moment in that Netflix is on the decline, but, the N is Netflix 😄

I can believe the 600k number. If i was a maga chump I could be led to believe that’s a premium phone, and getting a “premium” phone for 500 bucks in this day and age is unheard of. Almost like it would be too good to be true.

I don’t particularly know much about this specific topic but, it would be trivial for them to read what’s seen in the app. The encrypted part is only during transfer of a message, your app is still decrypting it to plain texts, and meta can just read the message at that point.

Loan interests and money I disagree with. Unless we get to a point where everything is in abundance and commerce isn’t needed anymore I feel like a common item we can agree the value of for goods and services is a pretty neat idea.

Similarly I don’t think interest is inherently evil. If i lend you money to buy something large that will take years to pay off, I wouldn’t want to lose a bunch of money with inflation. But predatory rates that bet on you defaulting can burn in hell. It’s disgusting that the whole fintech industry exists purely to maximise interest and debt at the cost of those who depends on those services the most.

Your name is purple! Witch!

I feel like that should be quite easy to verify with wireshark.

I suppose that would be possible.

Yeah, in that scenario they gave the agents access. Just because you ask it nicely not to destroy your workspace, doesn’t guarantee an LLM not to produce that output.

I saw the image first, thought it was bbno$ cosplaying as trump.

I upgraded from 22 to 24 as well. Cosmic is nice and can be used as a daily driver, but not quite there for a power user. I’ve installed KDE and like it quite a bit so far. But how has no one made a file browser that can match or beat thunar yet? Like the mist basic things like selecting and copying from the address bar and click and drag to select multiple items without needing to start from some empty space at the bottom!

I bit of ram, but then I’d imagine you only need some purpose built chip for the connection, input and display logic. Effectively you’d need little more than a chrome cast-like device.

We’ll just return to terminals. Just a screen, and input devices connected to a server :(

I agree, the maths argument is not a good one. While a neural network is perhaps closer to what a brain is than just a CPU (or a clock, as it was compared to in he olden days), it would be a very big mistake to equate the two.

Well, the law doesn’t come into effect until Jan 1st 2027, so you could delay until then at the latest. Or you wait a bit longer to see what the enforcement looks like and make the companies/politicians at least sweat a bit from any potential fallout. With GDPR some companies took a long time of dragging their feet to become compliant (partially because initial enforcement was lenient to give them time).

I think what they mean is, with a black box we know the input, documents, and output, yes you can buy beer, but we don’t know the internals. How and for how long is the data stored, who is it shared with, who has access to it, how much meta data can they pull together to build a profile on you and so on.

I have a work colleague who does the copy pasting. He asks me how I can tell when he’s using AI to write git commit messages when there’s a sudden spike in capitalised words, correct grammar, emojis, bullet points (and add in that the message sometimes has nothing to do with what’s in the changes). It’s infuriating when he uses it in a discussion. I thought he’s lack in skills to make himself understood was bad, but arguing essentially with a chatbot is so much worse.

There are tons of alternatives. As for how good they are I have no idea. It feels like every other day a new discord alternative is highlighted here. But as of now I don’t believe there’s any drop in replacement for discord/teams, but that is not to say you shouldn’t seek out something that is good enough.

I think this is the reported https://github.com/anthropics/claudes-c-compiler.

And here’s a pretty good article about it https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/02/sixteen-claude-ai-agents-working-together-created-a-new-c-compiler/

The people still voted for trump in greater numbers than Harris. No ifs or buts about that fact. It is the people’s responsibility to stay educated and to actually go vote. It’s been shown that nations with compulsory voting gain more support for the left. Yes, there is a problem with the Epstein class and capitalism, but that doesn’t absolve non-voters and those who voted for fascism from blame.
