It wasn’t obvious to me what problem this solves, might just be I’m not the target audience.

Anyone feel they could explain?

If they don’t agree with the tenants of it, seems like association or “being nice” to those friends is off the table.

At least, that’s what seems to me to be the logical conclusion of what the article espouses.

I’d guess that there are instances where the author would and would not agree the line is, but I also think that the subjectives of that line is where people might take issue with this article.

Yeah, and I think Overstreet might be going hard on AI, so not sure how that might effect the project

This is the best point I’ve heard for this perspective.

I guess I just never cared to actually LEGO much with Linux.

This actually looks a lot like something I was looking for. Sadly, it’s from one of the last companies I’d be willing to allow access to more of my data.

I think archive.is choosing to use something means they’re nearly as culpable.

Wow this led me on an interesting rabbit hole about what odoh is.

Very interesting!

Depending on the model, I’m guessing it’s dwarfed by just about any electron app

I’m a customer. Their openness is why I pay them instead of a Google or Apple.

Usually I’d just self host but it’s nice having them as a hassle free option.

I just switched to an iPhone and I don’t know how this could possibly be the case for you. I get them from a bunch of Apple apps and even in the settings app.

> my default stance towards complex "AI" systems is that they all harbor biases

I’m sure there are exceptions, but one could assume that opaque systems are used as tools to encode biases that are advantageous but wrong.

These biases could have existed in code, but opaque agents give much better plausible deniability.

(Caveat here acknowledging one can often assume a lack of malice)

Hey, this looks really cool! Best wishes and I’ll try to watch out for when this is more ready

This matches my experience. Very difficult to understand what I needed to get the effect I wanted.

Thanks, your disambiguation helped me

I can't tell and I couldn't seem to find confirmation one way or the other, but is this connected via USB micro? Would be very unfortunate not to be USB C.

Otherwise this seems awesome! I'll certainly take a look at their other products

There are so many examples of this. It's been hard to express and advocate for my severe distrust of proprietary garbage (my choice of words isn't hyperbole in this case) to others around me. But with so much of this race to the bottom, I can't help but wonder: how much will consumers take?

I'll admit, my FOSS prefering, DIY leaning use of tech is tedious, but is it worse than dealing with the churn companies force you (and your wallet) to deal with?

And alternatives that I honestly think are better.

One reason I'm unwilling to move from Firefox right now: Recommended Extensions.

They're extensions that are checked by Mozilla employees for quality, security and privacy. Extensions have such unfettered access to my browsing, and so many have such nefarious practices that I'll only install extensions that Mozilla vets.

Hey this is very cool! And something I've looked for multiple times before

Can't wait! I've currently settled on Caddy as my reverse proxy, but something rust based and extended with wasm would be great

I mostly agree and wouldn't do it myself, but as a consumer what are the odds this is just a better experience? All content, very few restrictions

This company seems like the complete antithesis to some of the pseudo-futurism that seems so prevalent with seemingly revolutionary new products.

I am especially impressed by the practical focus on just doing things that work. While it is just a prototype, it has already hauled over 100k lbs [0]. There is also an interesting interview with Louis Rossmann about right to repair [1].

Maybe someone else can help me articulate this, but there's something so refreshing about the shear practical nature and BS-less MBA-less talk of the founder. It reminds me of some of the videos on Smarter Every Day when he interviews someone who has "hillbilly energy" (for lack of a better description), but upon further inspection it's obvious they're very intelligent, action oriented individuals that have strong engineering principals that produce real-world value.

This is a patch file from the repo that you listed. Does it not remove the problematic hard-coded URLs?

Is parallelism used very much in the wild? They mention it's experimental and there's a blog post from 2019, but I'd like to know how mature it is.

I love KeePassXC! It not being open to a network, while still being super easy to share between devices is perfect.

Btw, they have a donate page if you want to contribute

Same for me for any Meta product, except (as I recently found out), Oculus. For some reason that was fine not asking for my number.

This comment [0] doesn't list their sources, but their list of events certainly makes it seem more conclusive than I was initially impressed skimming the post. That seems to be causing some confusion between the "just an accusation" and "it's not just an accusation" people.

I found out about https://www.nslookup.io/learning/ recently, which greatly increased my knowledge of DNS. If you look at the list of DNS record types [0], you might be surprised at how many their are. Knowing how to use those can be a bit much.

Here is a frankly incredible video of how you could make such a paint if you were so inclined. I don't think it's very practical, but the video is very interesting anyways

I don't think so. I don't want another nodejs. If I'm getting the same tradeoffs as nodejs, why not just use that?

I like Deno specifically because of how different it is from node.

I don't think I've seen this sentiment shared by anyone else, so I'll go ahead and share it:

I need a way to pay anonymously. For me, this usually means via Monero. Searches are simply too personal and too habitually unrestrained for me to trust to anyone who can de-anonymize them.

Honestly, in retrospect I'll acknowledge that my intense quest for privacy is more ideological than practical, and it wouldn't likely be a big deal if my searches were leaked or whatnot, but still. I've wanted to pay for Kagi and looked for a way to multiple times, but until I can do so anonymously, it ain't happening.
