  • F-Droid and Google's Developer Registration Decree

  • Phone hardware is getting locked down too, making it much harder to install custom ROMs. This is a full court press on our rights to use our devices as we want. They'll close most of the loopholes.

    ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’

    Jump

  • Brings new meaning to Google's decision to (effectively) block side loading on Android

  • Is Star Trek Discovery that bad?

    Jump

  • It's always worth remembering that the people who dislike something tend to be the loudest.

    There's no doubt reactions to Discovery have been mixed. Personally, I enjoyed it. It was uneven and flawed and sometimes frustrating. But there were enough good moments to keep me going. I don't think anyone can tell you if you'll enjoy it... You just have to try it and see.

  • Everyone is terrified of all the social problems AI is causing, but maybe it will just encourage everyone to learn Linux and we'll achieve utopia.

  • The vibecoders are becoming sentient

    Jump

  • I will usually google that kind of thing first (to save the rainforests)... Often I can find something that way, otherwise I might try an LLM

  • The triumph of AI marks the end of the information age.

    Jump

  • The bubble bursting doesn't mean AI will go away and no one will ever use it again, just as the dot com burst didn't mean people stopped using the web.

    It just means the VC money will eventually dry up, the hype will die down, and we'll start seeing AI as a useful tool, with plenty of porblems, rather than the dawn of a new age or whatever. Oh and the stock market will be bad for a while.

  • MAGA needs to see the danger!!!

    Jump

  • Exactly. If there are major terrorist attacks, Trump will use that to justify more authoritarianism.... It's win/win for him

  • New Zealand passes record suspension of lawmakers over haka

    Jump

  • Except they didn't interrupt voting. Go and watch the video, Maipi-Clarke clearly gives TPMs vote before the haka started. The fact that the report claims they interrupted voting clearly shows how bullshit the process was.

    I think it's you who are on your high horse. Claiming there needs to be some kind of "decorum" over a bill designed to strip rights from Maori is utter bullshit and frankly racist.

  • Mastodon announces new European non-profit, change of CEO

    Jump

  • This is a great move. Governance is extremely important for bigger OSS projects, and the "benevolent dictator" model has its limits.

  • Dammit Jim, I'm a DM, not a Doctor!

    Jump

  • Spock would have to be DM. As a player he'd be the worst rules lawyer ever.

  • Two killed and scores injured in Germany as car ploughs into crowd at Christmas market

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, AfD and Musk won't hesitate to paint this as an islamist attack. They'll just claim the X posts are fake if necessary.

    It may even have been the attackers' goal.

  • RFK Jr to research unsupported link between vaccines and autism, Trump says

  • AI Expert Warns Crash Is Imminent As AI Improvements Hit Brick Wall

    Jump

  • OpenAI published a paper about GPT titled "Sparks of AGI".

    I don't think they really believe it but it's good to bring in VC money

  • Why is Mastodon struggling to survive?

    Jump

  • Mastodon is pretty different to its competitors. It looks similar to Twitter / Bluesky, but the way the social network functions is completely different.

    It's designed to be anti-infuencer... One of the things I hate about most social media platforms is a few people get all the attention. There are a few reasons for this, but it's not really based on merit.

    I think a lot of people joined Mastodon wanting a Twitter clone. It's obviously not and Bluesky is, so people moved there. The approach Mastodon takes is far from perfect, and may not work out in the long run. But it seems like it's worth at least trying something different.

  • Peter Molyneux thinks generative AI is the future of games, all but guaranteeing that it won't be

    Jump

  • The thing is even if AI could do all that (which is doubtful in my life time), you would still need someone to prompt it with something interesting. And CEO types have never had an interesting idea in their lives

  • RFK Jr. Running Mate Reveals They’re Considering Dropping Out to ‘Join Forces’ With Trump and Block Harris

    Jump

  • Trump may flirt with anti-vaxx sentiment or climate denial, etc., but he can't fully support those ideas. They're very niche and he'd lose the centre if he did.

    RFK Jr doesn't hold back on those issues. For conspiracy types he is closer to their beliefs than Trump.

  • Why Biking to Work Might Be the Best Decision You Ever Make

  • Only a small minority of the world uses Fahrenheit... Why wouldn't we automatically assume temperatures are in Celsius?

  • Sadly, the lock-in is pretty extreme... as is user inertia. Office 365 has made the problem worse as well, even if you have something like OnlyOffice that does a good job of compatibility with Office, it can't sync with OneDrive.

    If you collaborate with non-technical people, they will expect you to work in Office formats, and won't even entertain discussion of any alternative.
