It means that an AI model was given a brief of the application, access to its source code and then asked to build a website. It then predictably dialled up the marketing speak to 1…

I jumped randomly to New York and then New York State: Central which has a delightful Ford ad advertising a plane joyride with an additional text stating that if you buy a car now …

I just got off from their 50GB plan and the amount of nagging has been insane. There's a giant banner in the photos app, a banner in the health app and everything else that I remov…

And who are these people?

I cannot speak for every country but in the Netherlands, your banking app also serves as a 2FA instrument if you place orders with your credit card. A pop-up notification will ask …

May I recommend SourceHut ( https://sr.ht/ )

The GNU stuff was precisely what FSF managed to do. They didn't manage to do more because they had a fraction of the resources large corporations had. People wanting more just does…

You tell us? You’ve just levelled an accusation and provided no information about what specifically happened. In general, a website cannot directly modify or change a browser’s cer…

Linux can be an excellent choice if you're willing to invest time in finding compatible hardware. I’m running a 2023 laptop (Lenovo Yoga family) with a 12th Gen Intel CPU and have …

Don't assume they will never double-dip. The AppStore has ads inspite of Apple being a more "premium" platform.

I don’t think that’s a good argument against the original point. You’re essentially relying on PEPs to protect you against something you shouldn’t have done and which was eminently…

Care to share more details?

How do they think they’re supposed to do their job if they don’t even have a way to identify you in the first place. What is comical is your blend of ignorance of the technical nee…

XS4ALL was amazing and it’s a genuine shame that KPN corporate decided to dissolve the brand. But I guess, KPN wouldn’t have been comfortable with XS4ALL’s hacker ethos anyways…
