> If it's really better, people will join the fork. That already happened. Redot is a major fork that's more community-driven and positive. They're also fine with AI use, as long a…

I really don't like how EUDI (OpenID4VP) works in the first place. IMO it should be scrapped and rebuilt from the ground up It should be an open standard that's local first. Govern…

EU regulation is not the problem, it's the national governments. They are the ones who create red tape and high taxation almost every step of the way, and create years of delays wh…

Of course I have my political opinions and world views, but I absolutely do not want an LLM to mirror my opinions, or even worse try to mirror the opinions of "my political side". …

Elon Musk's companies launch rockets, build the most high-tech electric cars, host the world's most relevant social network, deploy high-speed internet to most of the world, build …

This is so simple to prevent, it's just a matter of prompting. The fact that the bank didn't proactively secure against this makes me glad that I'm not one of their customers.

Don't waste your attention on this pop-culture legal drama. While there does appear to be a legitimate case involving an unfortunate high-risk contract between a victim and a busin…

It's more evidence that the future is local. With some time we'll all be running highly capable & efficient open-source models on dedicated NPUs. No censorship, no rate limits, no …

I will go ride my horse, and get a bit drunk off some ale at the local pub. You go enjoy your automobile, electricity, and telephony. Electricity is overhyped anyway. Nikola Tesla …

By that logic, was the Concorde also a "scam"? Are companies not allowed to try out new things without a guarantee that they will work and scale?

> 8gb of RAM and can barely run a very stripped down version of windows 7 Not sure what you're doing, but Win7 itself uses 1 GB of RAM or less. Even just 2 GB of total system RAM w…

What you need is the Stories feature in Signal, then donate that $49.99/month (or however much you want) to their foundation.

Well, that's where digital goods differ from physical goods. But it's also why piracy != theft.

Once more: Piracy is almost always a service problem, not a pricing problem. If there was an online e-book store where you could buy most books as DRM-free epub files, and you coul…

Yes because over in the rest of the world (or "the country of Europe" to be exact), we all have "socialized healthcare" where we pillage the wealthy and just spend shitloads of tax…

How do you currently host everything? Your main web server should not be responsible for hosting content. All books should be hosted on mirrors, and clicking download should automa…

GGML & GGUF have been extremely important to the open-source ML/AI space. Projects like llama.cpp, whisper.cpp, and stable-diffusion.cpp tend to just work perfectly, across a whole…

AMD has provided great support for far longer, but newer Nvidia cards which support the nvidia-open driver should also be good. Still, if you don't absolutely need CUDA, then AMD p…

> Lightning Connector Good. Apple users are a minority in my local community, yet the vast majority of broken charging ports over the years have been Lightning. Some micro-USB, and…

Luckily Google reCAPTCHA seems to be dying. Almost everything uses Cloudflare Turnstile, hCaptcha, or some form of a PoW challenge now. I'd go as far as to say that still having Go…

Having tried both, I definitely agree. * MeshCore has a lot more reach than Meshtastic. Often 100+ kilometers compared to just a few kilometers. Even if MT is more popular in your …

"AI safety" is not actually about any form of safety. It's about corporate liability, because for some insanely dumb reason, tech companies can get sued if a user uses their servic…

> thanks to China We just have to be careful there. My fellow Europeans here will remember what resulted out of depending on an adversary for energy, in our case Russian NG. We don…

You just have to stand your ground. This is true for anyone in any leadership position, whether you run an open-source project, a business, or anywhere else. Don't be a pushover.

The site is definitely lacking. It's half in German, half in English. The concept is that there is this protocol called ITS-G5, which is a European profile of 802.11p. Vehicles and…
