They’re not talking about the language of the Fox presenters. They’re talking about the journalists who report on what the Fox presenters said.

Please don’t tell Keir Starmer.

“I’m terrified our product will be just too powerful.”

A well aimed laser should be able to fuck the camera up.

So Microsoft’s is casting about for something new because AI is not worth the money they spent on it, and management are all out of ideas? Better get the grunts back in their cubicles. Perhaps that will magically fix it. A managerial cargo cult move.

The key differentiator is almost always the people, though that’s not as sexy as cutting edge technology.

Evidently you haven’t worked with me. I’m actually quite sexy.

grammar

Mind your capitalization, fellow pedant.

It depends how you’re using it. I use it for boilerplate code, for stubbing out classes and functions where I can tell it clearly what I want, for finding inconsistencies I might have missed, to advise me on possible tools and approaches for small things, and as a supplement to the documentation when I can’t find what I’m looking for. I don’t use it for architecting new things, writing complex and specialized code, or as a replacement for documentation. I feel like I have it fairly well contained to what it does well, so I don’t waste my time on what it does badly, and it isn’t really eating away at my coding brain because I still do the tricky bits myself.

I agree. It’s at best a dodge. And it won’t just be Mississippi. Many Governments seem to be pushing suddenly for ID verification for internet users. This is a rights issue not a tech issue.

Yes, my first instinct was that the Fediverse needs to prepare to retreat behind something like Tor or i2p, but even if it could be done technically, it would hugely reduce activity on Fediverse sites. And this might be a good enough win for the forces that want to shut it down.

Trump now frequently boasts about turning Washington into a “safe zone.”

He very nearly bragged about creating safe spaces, before remembering that he’s supposed to hate those.

I chased high resolution for a while then realized my eyes are not so good. Now I just save money by using low-res displays. The same thing with my ears saved me from a creeping case of audiophilia.

I suspect Google won’t care if they “accidentally” lock VPN users out of YouTube Premium.

Where would the money come from?

I found a little workaround called Newpipe.

Another funder of Carbyne, Peter Thiel, has his own company that, like Carbyne, is set to profit from the Trump administration’s proposed hi-tech solutions to mass shootings.

This willingness to let billionaires offer for-profit tech solutions to social problems is a sickness, and this is the clearest example yet.

The forums suggest there are quite a lot of bugs and the device is slow. I hope Sailfish OS continues to improve but for a daily driver I’m leaning towards Graphene OS as the best option for now.

Side loading will still be possible but the apps themselves will need to be signed by the developer through Google, so Google ultimately still controls what can be installed. Maybe someone will crack it.

It actually looks decent, and their C2 phone looks reasonable though not premium (8GB RAM, 4G LTE, a 1600x720 screen and no fingerprint reader are not brilliant specs, though they’ll do the job and it’s a nice looking phone). The OS subscription might put some people off though: you get one year of updates and then have to pay about €5 per month.

The feature can be turned off. But the lack of upfront communication about it, and the developer’s failure to even acknowledge people’s concern about how proxying doesn’t prevent OpenAI or the US Government deanonymizing your voice recordings, are quite worrying.
