To me this correlates more to them being bought by Microsoft, a company known for being seemingly incapable of creating quality software to the point that it's not even funny anymo…

I also have Apple Wallet on my Apple Watch. I can use the Apple Watch to also pay for things.

I'm not an American. In Estonia your ID is entirely digital, and I just show my e-Estonia government provided app to a scanner, which can scan my ID from there and verify it. Same …

It is? I haven’t carried my wallet around in years, because Apple Wallet does everything I need. Concert tickets, boarding passes, bank cards, public transport cards, etc. A physic…

Well for one it is illegal in the EU at least, not that Microsoft or other U.S tech giants care about laws.

Just like how OpenAI is open source.

Pretty sure they meant it sarcastically …

Both can be true at the same time. You don’t have to be extremely passionate about your job and go above and beyond, you just have to be competent.

At this point I’m convinced that the only people working at Microsoft are those who nobody else would hire. There is no way a self-respecting person would be ok creating garbage li…

Most probably do yes, but it's not a requirement to use any of Apple's devices. You don't need to do some command-line kung-fu to get around online account requirement like on Wind…

I thought it's basically the same in all of EU?

AI reviewing AI. Or in other words, having non-deterministic systems review the creation of non-deterministic systems, hoping for a deterministic result. Good luck with that.

I find great success in not relying on LLM's built-in knowledge, but giving it links to necessary docs/manuals and have it read that before doing anything.

Depending on the government. USA government? Yes, I'd trust that even less than Microsoft. Most EU governments? I'd trust a hell of a lot more. Especially my own (Estonian).

I mean to be expected of Google. Even their Google Pay sends data to their servers whenever you use it to make payments, effectively also making it so you can't even use it without…

From my analytics, around 85% of visits to my sites are now from bots. It's hard to say if these are oldschool bots or people just browsing the web via chatgpt now, but the reality…

Because companies here actively want to avoid breaking the law, as opposed to the U.S where breaking the law is just a matter of paying some $ to the grifter in chief? I always fin…

Only "the greatest country in the world" has laws that allow firing for NOT doing overtime.

Their engineers are excellent? Have you seen the leaked Claude Code codebase? Juniors write better code than that.

So you are saying that a plumber does not in fact need to know how to be a plumber?

Same for me. Been fully agentic for half a year or so, still remember the myriad of programming languages and things just as well if there's no AI present at all. Hard to shake 15 …

This. Not to mention that for the mainstream users there are mainstream distros that are largely the same they have always been: Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint, so I never really understood …
