Absolutely. When communist AGI takes over the world, people like him would get what they deserve.

He used ai from evil american capitalist corporations, instead of one from good chinese communist corporations though.

“Design system” is a way for designers to organize what they are doing with emphasis on structure and central definition of different components, colors, etc. This allows designers to create UI mockups more easily and programmers to implement the designs without guessing.

My guess is that that the new theme will be designed using this new system and then implemented using Union.

I’m sure you are carefully examining each line of code of libraries your app depends on, including hundreds of transitive dependencies, and also build tools. You are a responsible developer, aren’t you?

IIRC you can’t grant the permission if the app doesn’t explicitly declare it in its manifest. I doubt most devs would care unless access to local network is required for app’s functionality on typical user’s setup (e.g. if it’s a companion app for some device).

Yes, people who believe that are very dumb

“True” leftists would actually agree with you that Biden was even more evil than Trump.

You can self host xray or sing-box server (which implement many of the protocols) on a cheap vps. A lot of documentation is not great and is either in Chinese or Russian but it’s doable. There are also paid services offering vless with various degrees of reliability and sketchiness.

Of course the real challenge when living in an authoritarian country is how to pay for it. I.e.you need to buy a vps abroad. I guess it will be easier in USA then in countries under sanctions or with internal restrictions where people generally can’t use Visa or PayPal.

Protocols that mimic regular https traffic in a way that survives DPI. There are many variants like vless+reality+vision, naiveproxy, etc. It’s still cat-and-mouse game since government’s DPI systems are constantly improving.

Not if they start using DPI and block VPN protocols. VPNs that use OpenVPN, Wireguard and other non-censorship-resistant protocols (including Mullvad) don’t work in China, Iran or Russia.

Mullvad and other mainstream VPN providers only work in free countries where VPN is allowed.

It will still run necessary calculations much slower than a gpu, so you will need to run it much longer for the same result, which is not only inconvenient but will likely use more power in the end anyway.

This will just waste even more energy since cpus are less efficient at this kind of task.

LLMs require insane amounts of compute, period. The hardware to do that needs energy and emits heat, there is no way around.

That’s still just moving the impact from data centers to end users’ machines.

Gamers (especially those that own 5090) are a tiny minority compared to llm users.

It’s really easy to not use ai. It’s not a necessity and not even a part of any “lifestyle” that some people would miss.

They are not magic. You are still using electricity, and for the same amount of work that cloud providers do you will consume the same amount. If every one of the billions of people using chatgpt or whatever buys rtx 5090 and makes it churn 24/7 for their “local” ai then nothing will change for the environment.

So you don’t care about environment, huh?

You should always measure first before blindly following dogmas. I doubt that the choice of serialization format is what dominates processor time in this case.

Performance doesn’t matter unless you are dealing with gigabytes of xml. And ease of parsing/writing is irrelevant when it’s done under the hood by the program.

Asahi only really supports M1 and M2 macs, only even for them it’s not 100% support. Though I guess it’s comparable to how postmarketos / Ubuntu touch and other such Linux OSes work on Android devices.

iOS itself is closed source so unlockable bootloader wouldn’t make modding it much easier. Custom Android roms are based on AOSP which is easy to modify and can be used with existing properietary drivers extracted from official firmware. Alternative OSes for Android phones exist but their users are tiny minority even in custom ROM community. Porting a Linux-based OS to an iPhone and making it fully functional would be a humongous task.
