I can touch type QWERTY, but I struggle on laptop keyboards because it’s easy to lose your position.

I have a Glove80 keyboard on my desktop, it’s very easy to stay put since the keyboard is made exactly so your hands are on the home row.

For-profit companies cannot be relied on for this kinda thing (for anything at all). TeamSpeak is good now, maybe, but there’s nothing actually protecting it from turning to shit the very instant management changes.

AI Bros were really like “Reddit is one of our very few sources of usable data. What if we poisoned it too ? 🤪”

Way to go guys ! Have fun with your degenerate data sets, and the resulting consanguine models that are 100% unusable as a result 😘

Excellent news ! I have been preaching the good word of Codeberg for months, delighted to see it’s working.

If I can get NixOS to move, I will be the happiest gal in the world…

Comment sections removed ? That should be a feature !

I had an extension that removed those, amongst other things, but that part broke. Most video comments on YouTube are incredibly stupid, I’d rather just not have to see them.

Honestly if you want to try it on Firefox, they have a few options built-in for alternative DNS !

And I feel your pain, my CS bachelor’s had like 0 courses on Networking, fortunately my current Engineering degree courses have great stuff available, so I’m finally catching up !

Ditch Google Play !

You can use Obtainium and F-Droid to install apps as directly from the Developer as possible.

You can use Aurora Store to get things from the App Store anonymously.

If you want, you can install /e/os (any phone) or GrapheneOS (Pixels only) to de-google your Android as much as possible !

“Notorious fool joins band of other notorious fools”

The problem of course is that, bad as it may be to think this way, people (including me !) absolutely do think this way by default, unless consciously making the effort not to.

Maybe this can be deconstructed, but until then we need a good dose of “Realpolitik” that takes those biases into account, at least if we want to achieve anything concrete.

There is some truth to the “us vs them” between elites and the people, and the current elite is (somehow) very good at making a big part of the people they oppress think that “actually, you’re part of the elite too !”

There are alternate providers, like Cloud9 or Mullvad !

Idk if it’s perfect but I really like the “literate programming” version of `

This is not the original, but here is one version of it : https://github.com/zyedidia/Literate/blob/master/examples/wc.lit

Self-host or die trying !

Unfortunately, optics are incredibly important to win public opinion. As a radical leftist myself, I have little to no compassion for the man who died ; nonetheless I hope this doesn’t start a pattern.

Many people see these things as entirely vibes-based, so if we don’t look like the good guys, to many people that’s enough to decide we aren’t the good guys.

According to the Financial Times, he said that creating regulatory barriers would be harmful in a context of rapid technological advancement.

Are we on a context of rapid technological advancement ? I would say we are in a context of dire technological stagnation.

«AI» is a mirage that is utterly failing at pretty much everything it is applied to, and in every other domain I would say tech progress is coming to a halt now that our new feudal lords have conquered so much of the market.

This push by the EU is, apart from digital sovereignty, a very necessary push to get some innovation going again. I hope more complementary measures will follow ; we really need hardware sovereignty as well.

The article isn’t clear on one thing : was it an analog or digital signal ?

The results are entirely unsurprising if the signal was digital. Also, I’d like to see a similar test in an environment with more electrical interference, I think the unshielded materials would fare less well there.
