Google is the biggest threat to anything good in technology, this cancer must be eradicated

Niantic is a google company

Me with a stick poking at LinuxMint : hey, wake up, do something, you have piled-up enough money under the bed already

Russia is the most unreliable ally one can have

Please Stop using statcounter as a reliable source. Their numbers are absolutely wack.

Look at the recent surge in win7 pcs, that no economical data can back up, if you look at win7 stats of some countries you will find some weird spikes that died out this last month. why go from an os that has lost security updates to an older os that today’s software can’t run on anymore

I am kinda a big hater on AI and what danger it represents to the future of humanity

But. as a hobby programmer, I was surprised at how good these llms can answer very technical questions and provide conceptual insight and suggestions about how to glue different pieces of software together and which are the limitations of each one. I know that if AI knows about this stuff it must have been produced by a human. but considering the shitty state of the internet where copycat website are competing to outrank each other with garbage blocks of text that never answer what you are looking for. the honest blog post is instead burried at the 99 page in google search. I can’t see how old school search will win over.

Add to that I have found forums and platforms like stack overflow to be not always very helpful, I have many unanswered questions on stackoverflow piled-up over many years ago. things that llms can answer in details in just seconds without ever being annoyed at me or passing passive aggressive comments.

Maybe you should curb your enthusiasm a bit. have you seen what it take to unlock the bootloader from most manufacturers? you might even need your grandma’s birth certificate before you’re allowed to do so in the future

While your own people can’t afford treatment and die of treatable illnesses, weird choice of fight.

No one has time for family in Japan

When I watch yt videos about people leaving the workplace at 10pm, I wonder how suicide rate isn’t way higher

I don’t think Africa would want its appendicitis back. it has enough problems as it is without the Florida men.

It was obvious to everyone and their cat.

The internet is a massive US PSYOP for which it’s going to fight with all its might to not lose control over.

it will be the year 9999 and we will still be reading about the “Man in Florida”

BTW Free Palestine

The USA is in panic mode, they thought they could undermine China’s development just like they did with ball-sucking Europe, now there is a need for other nation to come up with their own models, and show the US they should stop underpinning monopolies.

It won’t last longer than another week!

Mozilla keeps digging Firefox’s grave, and seeing how other opensource projects like Gimp struggle to even keep up with their own release schedule and very slow development rate. I fear we will be left with only chrome to use.

They removed russian maintainers that are associated with sanctioned companies

Your are voluntarily spreading fake news and you are getting upvoted for that !

They have removed every person they suspected to be russian or have a russian “.ru” domain name in their email from the maintainers list.

I wasn’t referring to racism. Race and Nationality are almost the same thing, people can’t chose in what community they were born in. and not everyone has the means to move.

don’t be pedantic, what about the Chinese, south-Africans, north-Koreans, Cubans, …etc

So the Rest of the world should trust CIA, NSA contributions but not Russia’s FSB ? come on , opensource should be tolerant towards all espionage agencies no matter their skin color.

I took full advantage of invidious while it was still working, now I am anxious of ever going back to YouTube. It won’t be long before they requiring giving them your iris scan before watching a video on that shit platform.
