But Ed Zitron makes me feel fuzzy and warm when he name calls everyone and therefore he must be right

Agreed, by his definition a word processor or IDE, or even an operating system is not a tool because you aren’t directly controlling it.

Or filling voodoo.md with just the right incantations. You are only a software update from everything you’ve ‘learned’ being rendered obsolete by the latest algorithm.

Ok but software engineering is filling voodoo.cpp or whatever with the right incantations, and if a new c++ version with drastic changes comes out, much of what you learn can and will be rendered obsolete.

If he wanted to focus on anything it should have been the non-deterministic property of LLMs. How the same input does not generate the same output.

Yeah, you can also host your own mail server or VPS and FDE (full disk encryption) the whole thing, which i have for some stuff, but generally it’s not great because cloud hosting service ip blocks are usually marked very low reputation by general mail providers, so your legitimate emails are very likely to go to spam even if you have spf, dkim, and the like all set up.

Important to note, just like proton mail or competitors though, full disk encryption prevents anyone from getting into your mail, but it does not shield messages you send. For that you need something like openpgp to encrypt actual email content, like you said.

Also it seems like there is an effort by enterprise to move everyone to making software off FSF licenses like GPL to less restrictive licenses like MIT so they can wholly capitalize on open source effort without having to make their own software open source which I think is an underlying part of it

I think the difficulty is every frame runs in a separate process

So an oom killer would have to be smart enough to group each tab’s processes for tabs with iframes. Additionally I think gpu, media decoder, and a number of other processes also run independently, so it would have not kill those (or if it did, all the tabs would probably die, functionally not too far off from killing Firefox)

Agreed. TLDR, you must tag posts there with the following:

Post Tagging

There are three types of tags for project promotional / AI posts.

• [CBH] - Code By Human - A project promotional post with a project that did not use AI in any capacity. No disclosure necessary.
• [AIP] - AI Project - A project promotional post with a project that used AI in development in any capacity. Disclosure is required for how it was used.
• [AIT] - AI Topic - A discussion topic that includes AI. This may be for a discussion on hardware to self-host on, llama.cpp vs ollama, your experience using vulkan, etc.

The wearer’s Watch emits an audible tone, even in silent mode, to alert those in the vicinity and provides a visual cue for those able to see the face of the device.

Nonetheless, bystanders alerted to the recording – to the extent they recognize the meaning of the tone – have not consented to being recorded, which is a legal requirement in 11 US states that have all-party consent laws.

Ok, so it actively alerts about the recording, unlike “Voice Memos” or any other audio recorder app. And so its on the onus of the user to ensure those in the conversation consent, which is and has always been the case for any sort of recording device. Apple bad, updoots to the right pls

Their defaults are AES256 at rest

That being said, that’s not end to end encrypted because they have the keys, so if someone breaks into their infrastructure, they break into the files. It moreso prevents the datacenter owner/someone acquiring drives from getting in.

They do have support for end to end encryption, but that’s not included on their standard plans, you need to pay for the “Advanced” plan for that feature

“VPN is useless on mobile, a firewall is better.”

What? A vpn tunnels your traffic to and from an external server so all your isp (or anyone else in the middle) sees is encrypted traffic to your vpn provider. A firewall blocks incoming connections to your device, either silently (black hole/ no response) or loudly (connection refused).

They are two different things, what exactly are you trying to do?

7.1.6 is a mess with AMD issues. Graphical artifacts, brightness caps on laptops, crashes, etc

I have one of these running NixOS and I love it: https://www.chuwi.com/product/items/chuwi-minibook-x-n150.html

Can flip it over into a tablet too, but you’ll need to search the web for the tools people have built that I grabbed to disable keyboard and enter tablet mode when it detects that
