I’ll just add that age verification schemes serve no purpose—-and are actively harmful—-unless there is some reasonable policy that’s applied after the enforcement. The companies p…

If only it was as low as 25% today. Some members of the Trump administration / military say a specific goal is to bring about Armageddon, and have not been fired for it: https://ww…

AMD already demonstrated 1T on strix halo clusters. << $10K at original MSRP.

Does this apply to Google, car companies, etc, or did they bribe in exceptions for themselves (like California grocery stores did for the Do Not Sell My Personal Information law)? …

I wish they had a toggle for this. I'd much rather just have one backup system. Per-app backups is a pain to keep track of, and signal data is by far less sensitive than other stuf…

It's great to know this exists! It's one of a few reasons I switched back to iOS after trying grapheneos. Back then, you were still using Google's backup thing, and it was the year…

Also the US CLOUD act: If you do business in the US, you have to give American authorities access to warrantlessly search any device not in the US that you have access to. (I heard…

They'd also have to update all their phone spec sheets -- not having the sandbox doubled graphene's battery life on my Pixel 6 Pro (in practice and vs. advertised specs).

I guess I should have included a /s.

I'm not mad that they have a fork of some FOSS software that they use. I'm upset that they're actively trying to take away other people's freedom under the banner of a non-profit w…

Yes, but Forgejo is developed by Codeberg, which, according to the FSF essay's criteria, is offering an unethical product that undermines user freedom. You haven't provided any evi…

I'm increasingly tempted to just archive.is 100% of anubis page loads or something like that, then instruct my LLM to try archive.is if it sees anubis. If there was a plugin for th…

I don't really understand international copyright laws at this point (too many jurisdictions), but, given the number of global sites that can only exist because of the DMCA (like Y…

Yeah; the benchmarks + setup guide I linked show that it takes a lot of careful setup to get them to work at all, and then you only get 100's of tokens per second per cluster. That…

I can't be the only one that tried clicking them to see what they did. ("Where does this 'login' button go?")

Time to sail the high seas. Sometimes I think it'd be great if that was how the internet actually worked.

Wanna buy the NFT for [OK]?

Windows Phone 8 was pretty much only buttons in a grid, or lists of relevant information (with support for clearly marked hyperlinks). It was glorious. They got rid of the button s…

Then indeed I succeeded in opening it, but when I did so seemed only to be confronted by a greater and more closely locked barrier. For what could be the meaning of the queer clay …

Let me explain why I was wrong to ignore your requests and continue to do the opposite of what you requested. Here are the tasks that still require a human, and all that they requi…

AI's already commoditized, but the fundraising plans for the US labs assumes a winner take all endgame where one lab will pull arbitrarily ahead of everyone else. I have no idea wh…

Also, the choice right now is between an open weight Chinese model that is hypothetically censored to block / sabotage routine engineering flows vs a closed weight service that is …

Pre bubble prices (~= “we stop building data centers with subsidized credit / circular loans / hidden debt”), a 128GB halo strix ran for $1400, and 200-ish watts. Four of those in …

(1) Cache the non logged-in pages. You can even host static pages in an unmetered way. They maintain their web service software. They should just do that. If an account is knocking…

The essay "Who Does That Server Really Serve?" from the FSF explains why their definition of software freedom is more relevant for SaaS than it is for proprietary software: https:/…
