That collaboration goes both ways, or not as is often the case.

We get it, you don't like liquid glass, neither do I. But the source is available and there are alternatives to both MacOS and netnewswire.

There’s rss-bridge which is in the ballpark

jamespo··on Windows Notepad App Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Ironic in a post about a CVE, as systemd offers more security options for starting services than anything else.

Yes that was accounted for above, but this isn't autonomous apples to apples

Took a while but I got to the google reader post. Self host tt-rss, it's much better
jamespo··on Nanobot: Ultra-Lightweight Alternative to OpenClaw
There's people saying AI isn't living up its hype / valuation, I don't see many saying "utterly useless".

And there's plenty who worship at the altar of Claude.

jamespo··on The bachelor tax – what it costs in taxes to be single
"It's fairer" is just tautology.

Student loans are not based on household income and many other benefits aren't either.

As for family life that is covered by basing tax cuts / benefits on children not merely the nebulous concept of a household.

jamespo··on The bachelor tax – what it costs in taxes to be single
Why is taxing households together the correct thing, other than the fact it presumably would improve your personal standard of living (it would also improve mine)? What are you trying to encourage? I could see if you want to encourage families having tax benefits based on children - but universal childcare provision seems more likely to succeed.

And as for not seeing how a tax cut based on 2 people living together could not be abused, you must be very short sighted.

This discourages people joining the workforce and is open to fraud. You will then get the argument of "why should I be taxed more because I'm single"?

jamespo··on 25 Years of Wikipedia
Ah so irrelevant / invalid sources are OK...
jamespo··on 25 Years of Wikipedia
This may shock you, but wikipedia provides multiple sources, it even links to them. Where do you think the LLMs are getting their data from?
jamespo··on 25 Years of Wikipedia
Yes LLMs that don't disclose sources are much better.

jamespo··on Every country should set 16 as the minimum age for social media accounts
Ah yes, the limitless benefits of anonymous posting.
jamespo··on Every country should set 16 as the minimum age for social media accounts
Even the author of your link says "considerable reforms to these platforms are required, given how much time young people spend on them" whilst stopping short of a ban. The problem is these "considerable reforms" will always be half arsed.

That's an academic use case rather than something a lot of people would like to do.

I don't know if you've noticed, but Microsoft are moving apps to web versions as well.
