I was a long time (relative to AI age) Cursor fan but have since abandoned it for Claude Code. Working on mostly php/laravel/js/vue stack the difference in the quality of models is…

All of this would be easier if we just called Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and all the others by a more correct name: “Sales-acceleration platforms” and it's mode of operation is "i…

I remember watching old American educational videos for teens from something like the 50s (on YT). They talk A LOT about how to be likable and how much work one has to put into bei…

Replacing juniors with AI is a fantastic idea. Let’s also replace mids while we’re at it. — A senior developer

Yeah, the hardest part is understanding the requirements. But it then still takes hours and hours and hours to actually build the damn thing. Except that now it still takes me the …

Why would it be unethical? This obsession with "everything must be commercialized" is really killing creativity. Now if the author was commercializing other peoples reviews, sure, …

In countries that have it. In Slovenia we have no such legal entity and so starting a business requires, at the very least, ~400€/month for a single proprietorship (unless you are …

Ask a teenager what a folder is. There's a good chance they'll not know what you are talking about. They can use apps and that's about it. Thunderbird? Good luck with that.

Didn't we go through this before with PGP-encrypted emails? 90+% of users are not technically competent enough to even understand, in the vaguest of terms, what you are saying. Eve…

> First, Chat Control refers to a proposition in the EU, which has not been accepted at this point. So no, it's not Chat Control. The EU proposition of Chat Control is the proposit…

I don’t use Facebook Messenger much, but I did recently to reconnect with a friend from my teenage years. Today I woke up to the following message: “You can’t send messages for 3 d…

As someone who's part of a startup (hrpotentials.com) trying to bring truly scientifically valid psychological testing into HR processes .... yeah. We've been at it for almost 7 ye…

"Open standards & open source" is such a blast from the past. Namely 2010s Pirate Parties.

Slovenia is similar, but with even more intervention in the form of public grants. We also have no tax breaks for individuals who may wish to support the arts/humanitarian/ngo ende…

We did something similar with eglasovanje.si (currently only in Slovenian). Our idea is that secret online elections do not need a technological solution, but a procedural one. We …

The solution to "multiple crisis which only seem to get worse" is to go on the offensive, and lobby for laws that answer those questions in the way we like. Changing an established…

Quite a few parties suffered from either takeovers and the "crazy people magnet". Everyone with fringe views on ... anything ... decided that the Pirates were the place to be. Whic…

It's worse than that. Czech pirate party also lost most of their members. The other member states also failed to gain any new ones. As someone who ran a national party for a while,…

So, I get your point. I can see how (1) can be aggravating. Can't really say anything to defend it, that's the Brussels effect for you. From the point of view of your own sovereign…

The actual outcome is, from my experience, that tracking has reduced, a lot. When this law was enacted, *we all removed "like on Facebook"* buttons. Remember those? Yeah, we don't …

You realise that lobbying is literally sitting down for a cup of coffee with "a friend", right? It's a whole different world of probal that would require an authoritarian state wit…

Lobbying is a core pillar of democracy. Yeah, I know, I dont like it either. But that's reality and no amount of prohibition will stop humans from being human. The solution is clea…

So the person with MS had special treatment. And was offended by that that. They should just tell the offended individual that if they get MS or a different serious disease (and, w…
