Google is more evil than X or Meta by some assessments

Also, see Android and iOS which have a monopoly on the mobile OS market

For French musicians (who haven't already been named), I'd also recommend Madeon, Laurent Garnier, and Noisy Freaks. For an American musician in the synthwave genre (a bit like Kav…

This is amazing! I'm guessing this can be used for creating 3D models of outdoor routes if you wore a vision pro on rappel? How accurate do you think it would be for "seeing into" …

If you're defining "serious artists" as some approximation of "people who have made money with their art" then it's clear that there's a conflict of interest here. Now I happen to …

Amazing, thanks. I've decided to try daily driving this instead of Obsidian, but I'm a bit curious how the syncing works. I copied an Obsidian vault to a new folder, and when I sta…

Personally I just want to see more support for local LLMs. I haven't been doing much coding lately but am interested in setting up Qwen 3.6 if I can obtain the hardware

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but lots of 20th-century novels featured programmers. Snow Crash being the first to come to my mind.

I'm at the point where I only install extensions from source (via the dev settings) due to rampant abuse of the extension marketplace to track users, exfiltrate data, inject ads, p…

Looks very cool. It's free but is it closed source?

Megacorps being dishonest and human-hostile under capitalism is hardly a theory.

I'm curious, what companies are sponsoring this Hackathon (if any)? It'd be good to know if there are any tech companies that legitimately stand for good in the world in 2026.
