What client app are you using for Matrix? I really love the idea of switching over to it, or something similar, after Discord's IPO. We tried Revolt, which is now apparently called…

I mean to ask a genuine, good faith question here, because I don't know much about Huawei's development team. My head goes to the xz attack when I hear that Intel decided to stop s…

Toyota had an incredible lead with the Prius that they completely squandered. It was a shamefully poor decision to stop investing in electric.

Hear hear

Virtually everyone in the echo chambers you frequent are anti woke. That doesn't apply at scale, where people aren't willing to accept your "woke" shorthand. My understanding of "w…

I mean, the extremely obvious answer is tarrifs at the moment.

I signed up for them a few years back, just a month or 2 before their union busting. I was very angry in my cancellation message because I think it's a great service, but if they'r…

There's not much to understand. These policies aren't thoughtfully considered or intended to be helpful. They're chaotic exertions of power by an imbecile & his cronies.

Yeah like I said, it didn't work. It was just fun in the moment while I was pissed.

I heard about "mom prompting" recently, where you frame your prompt as if you are the bot's mom, and you'll be so proud of it when it can correctly answer your prompt & rescue you …

What a mature response that invites further discussion.

I don't think I've heard of Fleet but I'm definitely interested! Do you know if there's any info on what the pricing will be like when it's out of preview? I'm not against paying f…

That's the problem with this idea of network states. There are some interesting, maybe even plausible, aspects to it. But the current advocates want it for all the worst reasons & …

The only reason I thought it was satire is that it literally says that it is on one of the pages.

It's not DNS. It can't be DNS. It was DNS.

Dystopian as hell. Crossing into "thought crime" territory. We all have the potential for great evil, where do you draw the line at pre-prosecuting people because they might commit…

This is so incredibly naive I have a hard time believing you're serious. I guess you're right, it wouldn't be immigrants committing crimes. It'd just be regular, everyday Americans…

I'm going to just toss the entirety of your comment out to focus on the last line. Yes I can. We all lived through the same 4 years, saw and felt the disaster the first time, and n…

This is a perfect summation of one of the stupider internet theories I've read, thanks for the laugh

I don't believe you or share your optimism, but I also don't want to get into an argument about it. I think it's too late to ponder if this is overall good or bad... We'll all find…

Have you seen the x-cmd package? It's nuts https://x-cmd.com It's legitimately impressive, the person/people behind this wrote some pretty interesting code, I've learned some thing…

This is wrong, Linux had plenty of momentum before RedHat specifically was purchased by IBM. I'm sure that helped its momentum in the corporate space, where it was already very pre…
