  • I was going to joke Dell killed XPS a long, long time ago already.

  • They meant "sensor".

  • It's amazing how these very unregulated tech companies that have been proven time and time again to steal user data and mess up have this blind trust from the public.

  • His idea of "helping the working class" consists of tariffs that don't work the way he says they do and a very likely catastrophic mass deportation program.

    And people did vote for those somehow.

  • 3D printer noises

  • And the Tesla truck can't be a coincidence.

  • In those times there had been more than one popular free app that suddenly started installing crap on user's machines.

    I guess he just didn't want to become attached to junkware being installed on people's machines.

    I don't have the details but may they wanted to buy the source code from him and close it?

  • It's because Jean-Baptiste Kempf is a GOAT and said "non" to fuck-you amounts of money to sell out VLC.

    I don't know if I've had the strength to say no to that much money and obviously, that kind of cash has corrupted all but a few bastions of what makes the Internet an awesome place.

    Shoutout to Raymond Hill of uBlock Origin fame and all those supporting the lists it depends on. Some many adblockers sold out (including the original uBlock) but he champions on making the Internet a remarkably better place when used. Dude even refuses donations (says list maintainers deserve it more).

  • Dude really disappeared after making an ass of himself and when Musk in Chief came in.

  • Yep, they are also being abused with the added "bonus" of helping pit workers against workers instead of all workers against the super-rich.

  • Great for billionaires. Make workers desperate, scared, docile, and cheap.

  • Save her body for later use.

  • Let's suppose they somehow perfect LLMs to write code.

    So now we can tell in plain English what our applications need to do! But English (and most human languages) are open to interpretation so our prompts need to be really detailed and unequivocal. Hum, wasn't that the reason we made programming languages in the first place? In order to provide concise and unequivocal instructions to computers?

    And as you say, LLMs don't think, don't have domain-specific knowledge they can apply, and don't ask questions where things are unclear or problematic.

    Crappy copy/pasta jobs for crappy applications will suffer but there will always be a place for talented programmers.

  • We have the means to make our own right here, right now but some of us are too greedy to make it happen.

  • Just look at the overlap of religious fundamentalists and conspiracy believers.

    They got the most crooked and bonkers president elected. Ah yes, the spoiled NYC billionaire is going to save the children from the lizard people. Praise be!

  • A very vocal and very active minority I guess.

  • With Trump in office soon you can forget about regulation.

    And in any case, it's tech-adjacent so legislators have zero idea how any of this works.

  • Trump's peace is by massive weapons exports to Israel so they could carpet Gaza faster and call for an end to the war. Can't have war in Gaza if there are no Palestinians left!

    He promised some vaguer peace in Ukraine and we're all afraid of what that's going to translate into.

  • I'll never understand how people could vote for Trump over Harris on the Israel thing.

    Trump was crystal clear he would give Israel whatever they needed to get it done and quick. Democrats rolled over for Israel but at least made it known they weren't happy about it. Which is most certainly not enough but still.

    I just hope the Democratic party takes the hint that their extremely middle-of-the-road approach to these and many other serious problems is killing them during elections. They should stop trying to please everyone (and especially the far-right) and commit to an actual opposing viewpoint.
