In a lot of counties banks are becoming mobile first. Want to login in the browser? Authenticate with your mobile app to approve. Don't have a mobile phone with the requisites of the bank? Well, go to the branch, take a ticket, wait and then tell them what you want to do with your money. It's not just about paying, banks are moving online authentication to be dependent on Google or Apple, whatever poison you pick.

This seems like same shit different flies. Still dependent on some centralised approval which doesn't help openness and security. We need alternatives to the duopoly but this ain't it, chief.

Awesome stuff. I'm currently reusing my router and media device to host a file sever, radicale (contacts, calendar and tasks) and immich. All this stuff on old HDDs taken from old laptops with a usb enclosure. Get redundancy with rsyncing between drives and everything was essentially low cost. It's not pretty or the fastest but good enough for my needs.

Netbird and zerotier servers in my router to connect my devices as I'm behind CGNAT. Essentially have contacts, calendar, tasks, files and photos all under my control. No fancy media player but don't have time to watch films or series outside. Immich was the last step to get rid of google stored files. Good riddance.

IP is only an issue when not swallowed by LLMs. We want action taken to protect the IP of writers, artists and consumers but alas big corpos aren't losing money there. Selective application of IP protection deems the regime as inappropriate and unenforceable (unless someone with paedophile connections is losing money).

Release Notes

Warning: Do not use this release with an „AI“ Coding Agent of any form. The tool‘s output may confuse the agent and make it do unwanted things. See the paragraph in the user guide for details.

It's like lighting a cigarette in a petrol station and being annoyed that they didn't make it fire risk proof.

Also, what kind of security is applied nowadays that text can become an executable and no one bothered to put safeguards in place. This is like 90s internet, raw dogging data, no firewall, no encryption just pure unaltered and blind faith that it's all dandy.

This is a crime against humanity.

Thought I was in the shitposting community.

But those are gubberment handouts, THAT'S SOCIALISM!! [unintelligible screeching of maga brains]

Why would he want to give orgasms to babies?

Why isn't Paraguay shunned anymore? They played like thugs against most teams, famously against France.

No reason not to use Endeavours these days, lazy man's Arch. Manjaro had a few issues and the opinionated approach regarding video codecs sealed it for me.

If people stop eating there they'll go the way of Kodak. People like the sludge unfit for human consumption. They'll keep doing their thing and cut corners on the raw materials and increase prices as much as they can. I don't touch the stuff but plenty of people seem fine with it. They're there to make money, "feeding" people is means to an end.

Ads and jacking up prices. Netflix anyone?

I've also deleted WhatsApp when they changed their terms to some bullshit data sharing or something. It's tough when everyone and businesses use WhatsApp as the only means of communication. Average person doesn't even think about tech providers and we're all worse off getting swept in the tide of ignorance.

Ah yes, Singapore famously cheap and poor at over $100k GDP per capita.

Without paywall

Why not dunk it in batter and deep fry it? Cholesterol, heart burn and clogged arteries in one go, get in there!

What kind of mental illness brings this?!

Radiohead OK Computer

Have a look at this project - Degoog.

I'm self-hosting mine but there are public instances as well. I find it to be pretty impressive and the lead developer seems like a super dude.
