Tim Berners-Lee, who is a well-known proponent of internet privacy

The guy that advocated for DRM in HTML? We should have stopped listening to him a long time ago, he’s not a god.

AI will replace human beings by generating shitty JS games and solving leetcode problems. But still no concrete example on a real codebase that is not written in JS.

Why are they spending billions on this?

As a new convert to GrapheneOS, I can testify that it has everything you need: Aurora for privacy (Google store proxy), the real Play store if you want, Android Auto, and a lot of privacy features enabled by default. It’s restricted to the Pixels though which is the only issue.

Every month. It’s hallucinating APIs and language features.

If you’re a coder, you’ll absolutely love it

Please show me some example of C++ refactoring on a real application, not yet another ReactJS template.

They have done that for years, and every time there is an army of geeks and gamers who look for registry hacks or PowerShell scripts to install Windows anyway. If even those geeks do not want to spend 5 minutes looking for doc on how to install Ubuntu (which is a billion times easier to use than Windows), you can be sure Windows will never die.

That and AI companies not giving a fuck about copyright. I don’t understand those articles.

Browsers with a GUI was a mistake. We should have stayed with CLI tools: telnet, ftp, and Lynx if you really want to read a web site.

Ironic since the decrease of human made work (art or software) will decrease the quality or diversity of generative AI itself

Moderators are outraged but will forget that in a few days and won’t leave reddit anyway.

As a new user of GrapheneOS, I have yet to see the difference with regular Android except that it’s way more secure.

Apple is free to sell phones where walled gardens are allowed. You’re also free to stay in the walled garden, Apple lied to you.

Teslas did this in the past. There was also the issue of thinking that the moon was a red light or something.

Unlike the Rabbit R1 or the Humane AI Pin

And they describe the exact same crap.

Asking the machine to think for you makes you stupid. Incredible.

And no, you can’t compare that to a calculator or any other program. A calculator will not do the whole reasoning for you.

They activated Gemini at work to auto-complete stuff in emails. I work in IT, and I was not aware of that. I was typing the sentence “we will need some help” and was about to add “in the project blah blah” but Gemini came with its amazing auto-completion and added something like “in the street where they sell sausages”.

AI was a mistake, and I didn’t use it since that day. Waste of time, waste of everything.

I’ve been training my own mental model with TPB and a VPN for years. Thanks Facebook for showing me that it’s the legal way to do it!

They can take the salary of the CEO to fund the browser, they can ask for donations that go directly to the browser, they can make subscriptions with useful services. So many ideas that they didn’t try in the past 10 years. But it’s easier to get free money from Google and do nothing.

Same for my last job. My bosses and managers harassed and insulted me. They said I was useless and stupid.

I quit with 3 months of “notice” (standard in France to help you find a new job). They didn’t care during those 3 months. In the last week they panicked because they could not find a replacement that did everything I fixed every day.

I also interviewed my replacement, a junior out of school with big diplomas. When I asked if he knew Linux, he said “not really.” I thought “they are fucked with this guy.” They wanted to hire him because he was the son of some guy. I said to my boss that he would be a perfect fit for the company.

Unknowingly I was the kill switch. I sent them one last email with all the information they needed and told them to go fuck themselves in a polite way.

Yes. Tim Apple gave the $1M bribe to Orange Donald.
