They can't even do a coup without fucking half of it up.

No, problem not solved, problem half-heartedly worked around. People dislike Discord for several reasons, bridging it to whatever different platform will at best be a bandaid.

You gotta love the copy on the Warp site. As for why they're now launching it on Linux:

Despite this, Linux has relatively few terminal options compared to Mac and Windows

...relatively few? Really?

The tech might be the same, but the models can certainly differ, and something that is trained on US-centric data gives US-centric results, which may not always be desirable.

Iain M. Banks: we're living in an AI-regulated Utopia, but the AI that we totally trust might be doing some light imperialism on the side.

Pratchett / Baxter: we're headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, and another one, and another one, and another one, and oops, a blank...

Edit: added the Long Earth one.

Please tell me this is a joke. Are they really that blatant, and if so, why are they still not forbidden?

These people don’t get it, do they?

Oh, they get it, alright. They're making more money than God, which is entirely the goal.

Simple, the position doesn't require technical insight. At all. It should, but it doesn't.

My takeaway wasn't that he didn't like it, he did. Just not worth the absurd price unless you want to literally pay for the privilege.

If I understand this document correctly, it would mean that the entire connection somehow gets routed through Meta's servers. I can fully understand the reluctance of other parties, including Signal, to do that, and I wonder how this is actually compliant with the DMA.

I don't think "they should", but if you're willing / able to at least make a decent description of what it would entail, how it would work, and how it would benefit users, and possibly contribute in some other way, it might happen!

(It'll take more than a sentence and a half from the sidelines, I think)

A fair amount of drama is exactly their fault. Mozilla chose to increase management pay and fire people, Mozilla chose to flirt with ai, Mozilla bought an ad firm, and so on. It's not like someone was holding a knife to their throat.

Installing a software package through a distro's package manager sounds like a perfectly fine "Linux way" to me.

I believe they're absolutely not street legal in the UK, nor in the EU. Those were never "ridiculous sized trucks" Walhalla to begin with (although I see more Rams than I care to, these days), so there's roughly zero chance those things will become mainstream here.

Heck, we have rain here, that's enough of a wankpanzer repellant.

Ik denk er een goede vergelijking met email te maken is. Oorspronkelijk was email meer gedecentraliseerd. Iedereen gebruikte de mailserver van zijn/haar eigen internetaanbieder. Tegenwoordig is email meer gecentraliseerd. De meeste mensen zitten bij een grote commerciële partij (GMail of Outlook). Maar bedrijven of overheden hebben vaak wel hun eigen mailserver. En mensen die zich zorgen maken over hun gegevens hosten ook zelf of gebruiken een server die specifiek meer privacy belooft.

En daar zit hem precies de kneep, want ondanks dat e-mail nog steeds hetzelfde open protocol (of setje van protocollen, eigenlijk) is als een paar decennia geleden, kost het je tegenwoordig steeds meer moeite om je mail aan te laten komen als je ontvanger een account bij Google of Microsoft heeft, en jij niet. De kans dat je in de spambak terecht komt, is gigantisch, en succes met achterhalen waarom, en nog meer succes met het oplossen.

Resultaat: steeds meer mensen stoppen met het zelf hosten van e-mail, omdat het niet meer betrouwbaar te doen is. Niet omdat een onderliggend protocol niet betrouwbaar is, maar omdat het speeldveld alleen nog maar om twee of drie grote partijen draait die volledig ondoorzichtig handelen.

Ik vrees een beetje voor hetzelfde bij deze ontwikkeling, Facebook die eerst met hun app komt, later de aansluiting maakt bij de rest van de fediverse, en daarna in stukjes en beetjes toch de "samenwerking" steeds meer verandert in éénrichtingsverkeer. De eerdergenoemde embrace/extend/extinguish.

Dat Rochko dat gevaar niet ziet vind ik naïef.

Dat staat dan nog los van de cultuur van Eeuwige Groei Ten Koste Van Alles En Iedereen, die wat mij betreft lekker in de Facebook/Insta-speeltuin mag blijven, en die ik op de fediverse kan missen als kiespijn. Het hoeft niet als een malle te groeien, dat is nergens voor nodig (behalve voor mensen die blindelings grotere getallen beter vinden dan kleinere getallen).

With those rims and tires, and in that location, I can assure you that thing isn't for work.

Or being forced to find a headset somewhere because my hearing is shit and I can't make out what they're saying (and don't get me started on the auto-generated sub's).

Also, not having ads waved in my face on YouTube is a plus.

Also, I read a lot faster than the average youtuber talks.

Some things benefit from video, but tech articles tend to not fall under that category.
