VS Codium to the rescue.

It’s the only way to be sure Microsoft won’t sneakily turn it back on.

The only catch? You’ll need an interposer to set up an Ai Pin for use with OpenPin. You can either buy one or make your own.

Even more junk for landfill, to salvage a device that is inherently quite useless. It’s good to keep the original hardware running but it’s a shame this requires more hardware.

He does look like an ass pig.

Even if the drive prices are not raised to unreasonable levels, if ever Synology decides to stop selling these drives the NAS you have purchased will become useless. Think I’ll pass.

Never depend on anything Google.

They could have replaced the Google Assistant with their new Gemini thing on these waches (since I think they basically just relay voice to and from the phone). But, being Google, they prefer just to remove features people already paid for.

The only thing that really attracts me about these glasses is that you could hold your head up instead of looking down all the time at a laptop or a portable monitor. But most of the time I need more than one display, while the glasses only offer a single, expensive, fairly low resolution screen. I also wonder what it does to your eyes to use this for long periods of time.

They’re all doing it. Most tech these days just isn’t exciting enough to attract attention without them hyping it.

I suppose it’s naivety to think that Wikipedia articles are written with good intentions.

I think the amazing thing is that most still are.

I suspect that isn’t the picture these two have in mind. It’s going to be the same as Musk’s demand for free speech, which just turns out to mean “let me be an asshole and you’re not allowed to complain.” This one is going to be “I get to profit off your ideas, but you’re not allowed to use mine.”

Nazi government uses Nazi platform. We did see this coming.

And damn, is it expensive. Sold in 2ml bottles.

Not sure he even knew in the first place.

All the US horse exporters are busily painting stripes on their animals right now.

Meanwhile Trump is doing his best to force everyone to use coal. Maybe it’s an employment program for the under-10s, with so many new chimney sweeps needed.

Polls are showing that Nigel Farage’s far-right Reform party may win a majority government at the next election with as little as 28% of the vote. The UK can still come back and prove itself extremely stupid.

“Winning” presumably means achieving something as worthwhile as inflicting LinkedIn on the world. I’m good thanks.

To be fair, he’s talking to the founders of startups, not employees. But still, he sounds like an ass.

How is discoverability in PeerTube? That was the sticking point for me with PeerTube as with Mastodon last time I looked. It was not easy to discover what’s out there.

We need sites that are decentralized and make clear where their funding comes from. In the end, users need to be prepared to fund the services they use to keep them honest. This is especially true of video which is very expensive to host.
