Yes, that’s why they’re investing so much into AI. They can’t wait to get rid of us.

Ah, so you’d need an impulse around the apogee, and acceleration around just the perigee can’t create a stable orbit? Makes sense, thanks!

I used to fairly frequently hit dead ends on Linux, e.g. regarding Wifi drivers or getting some (Linux) applications running. But the driver situation has improved greatly, and thanks to Flatpak, Distrobox & co. I’ve only ever run into one application I couldn’t install - a corporate antivirus. Whoopsie!

They’ll slow down whenever they hit their original altitude (or lower), no? Is it impossible for this to result in a stable higher orbit?

Unfortunately there’s still plenty of unencrypted traffic from normal usage (e.g. DoH is still fairly rare).

No, the logic was that replacing a GPL project with an MIT project is bad.

Godot didn’t replace an existing broadly used GPL game engine, so this is irrelevant.

If every AI company steals the public data separately, it means massively increased costs for everyone who is getting their data stolen. If the AI companies “steal” from each other it’s much better for everyone else.

Hm, alright, I can see that - but to me, this is an example of business practices that the GDPR is explicitly trying to restrict. Of course it will be difficult to delete someone’s data if you’ve been sharing it with many other companies.

Could you expand on some of these challenges? We haven’t had these issues in any companies I’ve worked at, but those were mostly on the smaller side.

Weird question to ask through radio, over.

AI could be useful if it could orchestrate more complex tasks that the relevant apps don’t natively support. But of course that’s not what we’re getting.

I use lots and lots of timers every day to structure my chores and work. For example, I’d sometimes love to be able to start one timer, and have another one set to automatically start as soon as I stop the ringing from the first (which might take a few minutes).

Very simple requirements, but specialized enough that I’d have to write it myself. But I can’t see phone AIs supporting something like this in this decade.

That’s good! But I’d still prefer if I and the other 44% could at least say “please stop producing and sending us trash”.

They should really make mailed advertisements opt-in, but of course the industry won’t do that. And this what makes it cancerous IMO: they never give up trying to inject ads into people’s lives.

OTOH, it seems like ~44% of junk mail gets thrown away without ever being opened: https://zerojunkmail.org/environmental-impact

That’s a bunch of environmental destruction and personal annoyances caused, so the label “cancer” seems fair to me.

Yeah, I find it hard to believe this wasn’t their goal, especially considering they found this bug in testing and still released the update: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47994193

There isn’t an API for browser extension data. They are searching for the existence of thousands of specific addresses to perform the search.

I’m also not a fan of Slack, but it doesn’t break new things every week while also putting ads in your face, so that’s a plus.

Teams is also only communication.

Slack isn’t great, but at least a few years ago it was much, much better than Teams

Yes, it is. No, the delays on Youtube don’t come from the performance of the adblocking code, so you won’t notice many differences. But more efficient adblocking is good for everyone - noticeably more so on devices with batteries, but still helpful for everyone.

Well yes, but have you also considered that line must go up?
