Extremely lame work by Google. Infeasible? Why? This is absolutely a security vulnerability. Any ad SDK on any app on your phone can use it to associate your VPN activity.

A HUGE number of Americans are functionally illiterate.

I shed no tears.

It’s a grift. You bribe me to get an exception. That’s how they get so rich so fast.

Ubuntu just added that feature. Not my distro of choice, but it’s coming up.

A single person used AI to help write a port for macOS. It’s not exactly a community effort even though the developer bills it as such. It’s unofficial and unaffiliated with the project.

I really hope you’re right. My employer is using it as a crutch. I don’t think they can stop using AI because they just don’t have enough skilled employees to deliver on their commitments. They would pay nearly any price, and I’m sure they’re not alone.

This is fallout of the broader problem of ultra-extreme centralization and shortsightedness in pursuit of line go up. We eagerly run into a climate catastrophe for the same underlying reason. It’s not a matter of understanding the problem, but a matter of willingness to solve it.

Collectively, we are not willing to solve problems that might require a measure of compromise today.

Tale as old as time. Corpos try to get you dependent and then give your business an atomic wedgie.

It’s useful because that word means the corruption will be accepted and nothing will be done.

I would definitely trust this person with the nuclear launch codes.

It’s an accurate name. The company has explicitly told us that they are a slop-first cloud company.

And now for your local on the 8s.

We know.

Never. If it’s worth dying for, it’s worth being homeless.

This is what I call junk open source. They use the open source label, but it’s not really open source in spirit. The license is restrictive and I’d recommend against using any such software in favor of something that’s actually, properly open source. If you’re bothering to self host, I feel like this freedom is important to most users.

Also, I think this is an advertisement and should be removed.

Perhaps it’s a fallback plan in case the universal Internet ID thing doesn’t work out. Gotta keep the masses stupid and uncoordinated.

I can’t do that because it’s real. I just waded into that cesspool of a site to verify for myself.

Say anything that pops into your mind to keep the hype train going, huh Sam?

Careful. Idaho Republicans could be into it.
