  • Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI

  • Well, IMO, "public access" includes semi-restricted stuff, like the requirement for an account. E.g. rutracker is closer to public than to private, compared to REDacted. As for downloading, there's not much technical difference between it and streaming, I.e. nothing really prevents you from playing into a virtual soundcard or even reverse-engineering the protocol and saving data directly (moreover, there are such projects on github)

  • More like scraped. You can't really leak smth that's already publicly accessible

  • Give your Matrix account a Discord UI with Commet

    Jump

  • Thanks, that actually looks like a nice android alternative to cinny

  • AI could rebalance power between people and the services they use

    Jump

  • Sooo, how about we research actually improving accessibility of said "paying energy bills and booking healthcare appointments" instead?

  • Manipulating AI memory for profit: The rise of AI Recommendation Poisoning

    Jump

  • Yeah, a very unpopular opinion here, but how about you actually read stuff? I mean, yeah, there's the whole seo prioritizing ai slop walls of text, but there's also a close tab button (I personally can't remember a single helpful slop article, and the overgeneralized advice they give doesn't even worth summarizing). Dog knows how much it pisses me off that the internet turned into a place where the info gets rewritten by bots to appease other bots and then once again to make it fucking readable.

    Then, there's that "memory" stuff. Just why exactly do people need it? Make a base prompt editable only by the user and adjustable on a per-conversation basis, and that issue goes away (probably along with a significant portion of your electricity bill wasted on processing literal garbage not relative to the current conversation).

  • Discord Alternatives, Ranked

    Jump

  • What functionality are we talking about? Genuinely curious here, since I use discord like a couple of times a year.

    From what I've noticed, matrix can do basically the same, except for the voice chats which are a pain to setup (and are better handled by jitsi anyways).

  • that escalated quickly

  • Offline Translator: An Android translator app that performs text and image translation completely offline using on-device models—Supports automatic language detection

    Jump

  • I'm wondering how ff models compare to smth more modern, like the recent translateGemma stuff (given 12b models reportedly run fine on phones nowadays)

  • Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

    Jump

  • Do they seriously expect discord moderators' faces to fit into a picture not taken from like 15m?

  • The new Microsoft copilot key is impossible to properly remap.

    Jump

  • I mean, "fuck new thinkpads then"

  • The new Microsoft copilot key is impossible to properly remap.

    Jump

  • Well, t480/t470p ftw. The latter has better specs, the former has coreboot

  • *on the firmware level, to be precise: keyboard polling is commonly done by the Embedded Controller, which is flashable (not by users, generally, tho, but during the uefi update, for example). Sometimes there are separate keyboard controllers, but those are not really common.

    So, if vendors want to fix this garbage, they can. Smth tells me, they don't care, tho

  • FBI controversial smartphone sting operation led to nearly 800 arrests in 16 countries

    Jump

  • Because they'd have to arrest like every single FBI executive ever, and going after their own is generally frowned upon in such institutions.

  • Silence, AI. 'tis the age of man

    Jump

  • *it is god who is made in man's image. Except the flying spaghetti monster, the invisible pink unicorn (our belief in which is so strong, we know they're pink even though they're invisible), and so on. Also, artificial idiots are, too, made in men's image, to some extent

  • Self-Host Weekly (30 January 2026)

    Jump

  • Yeah, guess I'll never understand that whole agentic ai craze. To me it basically looks like

    we have a tool that is relatively simple to trick into doing what it's not supposed to. Let's feed it arbitrary data and give it the ability to execute arbitrary code!

  • your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to consider if they should
