Yes that's true, that's the main limitation for me at the moment, and I hope with more people using it and with time we'll get enough apps, like what happened for Linux on desktop.…

Personally I think that Android AOSP relies too much on the support from google, that has demonstrated to happily use anti-competitive practices and not be afraid to close and cent…

Yes most of the devices are old, but I think there are some main ones still being sold. I bought a Librem 5 a few months ago, so I'm sure on that one. The Fairphone 5 is around 3 y…

I agree that the usability is behind, as we would expect. For me mainly is about missing apps and some hardware support. But in terms of UX for example I liked using SailfishOS, al…

- https://sailfishos.org - https://docs.sailfishos.org/Support/Supported_Devices They have few devices of their own (new one coming out this October) and they officially support ma…

It doesn't solve the current issue, but in case we don't manage to push back on this, some people might not know that there are various actual linux OSes for mobile: - SailfishOS: …

I guess the third path could be to use it as less as possible, hopefully finding a job that doesn't enforces its use. Still learn how to use it in case that becomes your only viabl…

With such a population reduction(very polite name for what it actually is) I guess AI will become effectively the only holders of most of the human knowledge

There are at least 4 in the article: > The interventions that could matter are known. Public ownership stakes in AI infrastructure. Aggressive antitrust enforcement. A genuine tax …

I read some time ago about the idea of "redistribution of work", which given the current low level of employment(at least for young people here in UK) and the introduction of AI, i…

> Today, among the goods that are universally intended for everyone, we must also include new forms of property, such as patents, algorithms, digital platforms, technological infra…

Petitions are also a good way of reaching out to people and explain the dangers of these issues. Many people that usually sign petitions are notified of new ones, and, as a general…

I like their build system, is very simple to use, based on shell scrips, and has some neat features, like ssh-ing into the machine that had a failed build, or spinning a build with…

Similar UI but donation based and public repo only: codeberg.org Fixed low cost but different UI: sourcehut.org

We might not be paying money, but we don't know what happens to our private data. Maybe it's not used at all, maybe used just internally, maybe could be even sold. Data of millions…

I share your concerns, and I was very happy with the state of the art(at least for us developers) before LLMs arrived, while now I'm constantly worrying about the future, and almos…

Great article, near the end it talks about where the money go and if there will be universal basic income. I think those paragraph had an assumption that if models get very smart a…

I'm very hopeful for the "digital euro" that is planned in europe, and if it works and as they say brings digital, anonymous, online and offline transactions, that are not dependen…

> That's interesting, I'm sure when I read the article it didn't specifically attribute those claims to Amodei. Apologies, I didn't mean to highlight Amodei in those quotes, I just…

Sorry I didn't mean that the artice has proofs he lied, just that some of the situations presented cannot be simple misunderstandings. The pieces in the article I was referring to …

I think sometimes you have to look at the patterns rather than at the single claim. If a large amount of people, that are completely unrelated, tell you very similar experiences th…

I don't know enough about how people lived in the past but I would tend to agree with you that they might have had less control than us on many things. But what I meant was that it…

I guess there are different types of "life sucks" that can or cannot contribute to depression, my current understanding is that a lot of it depends on whether you feel you have som…

I'm also trying Gcore and so far, apart for an intial problem with payments, has been good. It has a lot of services
