No one wants to be the one to ring the "we're in a recession" bell first

The astroturfing successfully broke a lot of people's brains

Agreed. KDE apps are slowly getting feature parity between crossplatform builds, Kate's nearly there but Dolphin is still missing some features on macOS. Hope there's a day I can j…

Finder is one of the worst pieces of software I've used and I have no confidence in Apple ever fixing it, or even being able to in theory.

Why would they believe that when AI is smarter than any human and is going to replace doctors and themselves? If it isn't going to replace doctors, why is ChatGPT giving medical ad…

If a real person gave them this advice, like a doctor or pharmacist, there would be standing for a lawsuit, might even be criminal. Looking past "drugs bad mkay", the same ChatGPT …

I am personally everyone

If I had a hammer robot that I told to go hammer some nails in a birdhouse and it goes "Sure, I'm on it!" then it nails a cat to the wall and says "Here's you new complete birdhous…

No, it is a tooling problem. The tooling is telling laymen that they built wonderful things that definitely work and perfectly fix and add features. The tooling gasses them up and …

It's important that developers have an accurate mental model of how things work, are structured and why. LLMs promote a decoupling of mental models and the actual codebase. As much…

There are computing and communication devices designed for kids to use. Stop handing your kids brand new iPads and complaining, especially if you aren't willing to use parental con…

Another step towards "Insert your verification probe to continue"

I've never seen efforts to make laws as damn bulletproof like this. They must really be scared of the voice and power anonymity gives normal people who wouldn't normally have it.

It helps if you're doing mundane things and want to help people who need to mix their sensitive traffic with it. More people "legitimately" using Tor makes it less likely to have i…

They've been consuming 15+ years of anti-Mozilla rants anytime it or Firefox are mentioned online. It's how you get things like "Browser monocultures are an issue, so don't use Chr…
