Since I have to carry a keyboard anyway, I’m just going to carry a full laptop instead.

Do not link Lunduke in here. He is, literally, an insane bigot.

It does not matter how factual or not the particular thing he is reporting on in this particular instance is.

50 people is an irrelevant sample size. Just because the findings seem to make sense doesn’t mean the study is good.

Well, fuck. I really hoped they would pick FairPhone. Motorola is… Okay. I guess they made the Nexus 5 ; which was one of the best phones ever.

I hope they make a SMALL one, I am so tired of this GIGANTIC pixel 9.

👏🏻 We 👏🏻 demand 👏🏻 public 👏🏻 executions 👏🏻

NixOS is missing cause they graduated early 😎

The Matrix.

The first film was perfect as a standalone.

Amazing to see Mastodon instead of Bluesky there ! Too many people falling for the Bluesky trap…

As a Computer Scientist, I increasingly believe this tech might actually be poison for the human mind, and I’m not sure what to do about it.

I want to believe we can make it actually useful. But I don’t know if that’s possible or not.

Of course I use SecureBoot, if you know how to set it up it has no inconvenients ! But that doesn’t go all the way up to the apps !

I was enthusiastic about LadyBird until I learnt that the guy leading the project i s a white supremacist, via pivot-to-ai.

Now I hope either someone else takes it over, or that it crashes and burns.

You know what ? If this law is only imposed on commercial operating systems, and I can make my free OS lie and say I’m 100+ ; then maybe this could work.

The option of having a full auth trust chain would be nice for some security applications, but the implication that it could be made compulsory is terrifying.

Eurgh ! This is just INFESTED with horrible AI writing clichés. All the “it’s not X — it’s Y” and the extraneous lists, the absolute abuse of putting titles everywhere.

What a MESS of an article, all just to say something that should have been patently obvious to anyone who is not a brain-poisoned moron.

Don’t let AI turn you into this. Take a stance, stay human.

Cool beans, unfortunately GrayJay doesn’t fucking work at all, no matter what I try and on which device.

So I gave up. I use the YouTube website via IronFox on mobile, and LibreWolf on computers ; with lots of extensions to de-bloat it.

If this happens, I guess it’s Linux Phone time for me… I’m pretty certain GrapheneOS will be able to get around this abuse of power for a while, but it wouldn’t take much effort from Google to kill them too ; they almost already have…

Or maybe dumb phone time ? But I like browsing Wikipedia and playing chess and RetroArch on my phone, I don’t want to lose that just because big G$ said so…

No. Fuck the KOSA, it’s the equivalent of burning down your house to get rid of a cockroach infestation.

Meta should be liable for their algorithm, no more, no less.

I think there was a Japanese study that shown that pen and paper is superior in terms of memorisation even to handwriting on a tablet (in addition to the well publicised fact that handwriting is far better than typing for that too)

I wish we had more info on the subject. Definitely got me to switch back to pen and paper from my iPad, and anecdotally I think it’s worked out well for me.

It’s a little confusing to me how it could be physically possible that there’d be no difference.

I’m not saying I think I could tell which is which, but surely they can’t sound the same ? Or if they do, why do we even use copper, instead of just making cables out of the cheapest random conductive substance available ? Is copper just that substance ?

I don’t even use “being awake” 16 hours a day 😂
