  • How it feels to use Debian

    Jump

  • I understand, it can take quite some time to compile ;)

  • AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

    Jump

  • All these desperate attempts to protect copyright. I understand it, I want to publish things and not have it scraped by AI, but let's be realistic here. No government in the world wants to miss out on AI. The general public profits enormously from AI too. I doubt any of that is going to succeed.

  • Do you love Open Source software? Want to turn your passion into a paid job 💵 ? LibreOffice is hiring a remote Paid Developer focusing on UI with initial emphasis on macOS, preferably full-time 📢

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's a weird combo for FOSS because macOS is quite the opposite of what FOSS stands for. However, quite a few people think it's the best and.. I don't know

  • it works just fine because people generally earn the same depending on education, experience and profession. There are tools online to check what range you can expect based on your parameters, and then there is some flexibility based on your person/skills. The salary is then negotiated during the application phase.

  • protonmail blocks account creation through tor

    Jump

  • that sucks, this means no more hiding metadata. However, they aren't ditching switzerland (yet) - this only happens if the government applies the new surveillance rules which is not set in stone yet.

    I use pgp and host mail myself. It's not as hard, and it's by far less problematic than a lot of people make it out to be. Don't trust hosters.

  • Gentoo is awesome! But I hope you update at least your browser more often than that?

  • Proton is vibe coding some of its apps.

    Jump

  • self-hosting email, text based clients and a deeper understanding of the protocol made me start to love email. I didn't think it was possible to love email.

  • Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery

    Jump

  • could be, I can't judge that. do you have any source for that info or is it based on an assumption?

  • Yeah, I don't think there's anything wrong with coding in rust for people who like it. But I do think it's quite a bit of useless work that could be spent more wisely on new products instead of rewriting things that we already have

  • thanks! reading my comment again I feel the need to highlight that I did not try to imply it is not happening, I just let out some frustration about the article not being specific enough for my taste

  • It is possible, it would bring in quite a few restrictions though. The bigger problem I see is that it wouldn't be entirely clear as an end user whether a program is memory safe or not. However, this isn't the case with rust neither. Maybe some kind of certification would help

  • Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery

    Jump

  • Well this is obviously personal to some degree, but for me it would be to fix bugs, don't crash, dont make me restart after an update and lose my incognito tabs, focus on being w3c compliant, block ads, maybe allow blocking annoying cookie banners and maybe allow good keyboard navigation. I like some features other browsers have, such as integrated tor browsing - but since I am not a big fan of bloat, I'm not sure whether that should be handled outside of the browser

  • Spotify to raise prices in September

    Jump

  • I'm quite unhappy with spotify. I don't care about the price, but it keeps repeating the same and same music again, and the percentage of crappy AI music is increasing. You can clearly hear it. Their client isn't open source, and it's just a wrapped website. It sucks.

  • People got mad after they lost their AI boyfriend after GPT-4o deprecation

    Jump

  • wtf

  • Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery

    Jump

  • I wish Mozilla would just debloat the browser, focus on performance and making browsing a good experience. But unfortunately their revenue situation is bad. At this stage, they won't even manage to survive through donations after annoying their main user base.

  • not a big fan of rust personally. I think it would be much smarter to bring borrow checking to C through annotations. That way we would not have to rewrite the whole world

  • I self host my mail. There are plenty of people telling you not to do so, but I sincerely have made very good experience with it the last 10 years. The absolute minimum you should do is to have your own domain, otherwise you are in a vendor lockin.

    Then, use PGP where possible with an open source mail client such as thunderbird.

  • I would really like to know what EXACTLY they are doing, this is so vaguely written, that I couldn't even judge whether this exists at all or not
