I wonder if this will use ASOP or they will go with their own OS.

And do they expect people to carry a second phone or to switch during an update cycle?

Are they really sure that text (or even voice) input into an LLM would be faster for initiating common tasks used on smartphones (messaging, video, social media etc.)?

I would imagine that would require all platforms to implement this change in concert e.g. Piefed and Lemmy, all the fedi micro-blogging clients.

Doesn’t sound like a viable proposition.

Because the people vote for such governments.

There is no money laundering involved. There are other sketchy elements associated with bubbles (circular financing), but not money laundering.

Yup, distribution as in social choices around allocation strategies as opposed logistics (which is mostly solved, some bottlenecks do exist though).

It’s like global malnutrition/hunger, it’s not that we don’t have enough food (I believe total global calorie per capita per day output might be significantly above the recommended 2,500 or so calories); it’s the distribution where the problem lies.

Those are very different things though.

And one can argue that how people imagine the end of the world is probably shaped works of art/media.

This is nothing compared to their enablement of the Rohingya genocide. In terms of less horrific, but still impactful crimes their recent premeditated promotion of scams to gain revenue on commissions ($16 B in a year) is also worth mentioning.

But the enablement of the Rohingya genocide really does make one wonder if exceptions need to be made with respect to state use of capital punishment (which I generally do not support, but I can see the need for exceptions such high treason during war and crimes against humanity).

Notebookcheck often does reviews of miniPCs, while they don’t have a dedicated toggly for miniPC (at least on this page), you can filter by brand which should get you pretty close.

Liliputing covers mini-PCs, but reviews are rather rare.

I don’t think they are lying in the technical sense, it all depends on what they define as “sandbox/continenment” and the nature of their prompts and output.

That being said, the AI Doom is well known propaganda technique used by those who stand to benefit from the hype.

The EV demand changes reflect the population that is currently looking for a new car (have the money and are willing to buy) and people were previously “on the margin”, those who weren’t looking to buy a car immediately (more like sometime in the next 6-18 months), but due to fuel price changes they have now moved into the first group.

Doesn’t Mbin also support Mastodon?

On Lemmy/Piefed I’ve only ever subscribed to communities.

Lemmy has comically bad integartion with Mastodon. I tried to make a template with some basic rules to only post once, but this approach was no where near close to being viable.

I would stick to topics outside of politics and memes.

Is this something like Mbin, but for integrating Threadi and Sharkey/Misskey?

They own Red Hat and IIRC, it’s their fastest growing (if not largest) business unit.

Some thing that I think should be more widely adopted (de facto mostly a list of features that Lemmy lacks relative to Piefed):

• Instance URL redirection; not only a Piefed thing, also done by Voyager
• Merged comments for the same post URL
• Post flair and to a lesser extent tags, Post flair is really helpful for if you manage a community

“Our roles: All Global Engineering roles will evolve. The focus will shift from ‘AI as a tool used on occasion’ to ‘AI automation as a way to scale the delivery of value to customers.’ Our associates’ skillsets will grow as they become proficient in these tools.”

The “scale the delivery of value to customer” phrase is a massive red flag, it means they have no fucking clue what they are doing. If they did, they would be more clear about their thinking and reasoning and not use PR speak.

They do provide some more specifics that are quoted later in the article, but it still sounds like they haven’t really thought this through:

The next few paragraphs of the memo are oddly repetitive. First, it says: “To lead in this era, we must evolve our operating model. The gap we face today isn’t just technical – it’s organizational. Today, we are beginning our transition to an Agentic Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) to transform how Global Engineering and Products deliver.”

“‘All-in’ product scope: We aren’t looking for a single scrum team to experiment in a vacuum. To avoid bottlenecks, we will move entire products or sub-products to this model simultaneously.” Scrum is a reference to the Agile development model, about which The Register’s Rupert Goodwins expressed reservations back in 2024.

That’s a fair point.

Still, I think for the median user interested in customisation, a fully vibe coded front end may be overkill.

Why do you need “vibe coding” for UI/UX customisation?

Why can’t you have a regular app that has customisation features (can even use LLM or ML tech)?

I am hardly anti-AI and I’ve vibe coded some small elements of my work projects (very simple modules with extremely clear input -output requirements in a domain I have a lot of business experience in), but this seems like AI for the sake of AI (or hype and PR associated with what is marketed as AI).

Some very general space communities communities:

They are both pretty active by Threadi standard.
