Philosophy:

“That depends on your definitions, some may call philosophy a science, others may not, what do you think? Can you lick the philosophy?”

Internet companies usually have clauses that they can terminate the agreement at any time for any reason, including “because they feel like it”. They usually don’t have to tell you why, either.

Same deal with all the “licensing” things and “digital goods ownership”. In two words: you don’t.

But it’s been that way for ages.

Let’s be real here: They are trying to create a “platform”^TM and “ecosystem”^TM to later wall off, embrace, extend, extinguish or otherwise enshittify.

There is no actual problem they are solving.

It’s venture capital bait.

Sure, but be careful with “universal basic income” ,“taxes” and actual national expenses.

What you have there is a wish list. It’s a good wishlist, but an actual plan requires planning. Including how the math works out. Which can be done, but you still need to do it.

It said “cheaper” not “energy efficient”.

Wings are easy, jet engines are hard.

Besides, if you can do it with an electrical locomotive on the ground, the energy conversion to electricity of a power plant should be better than the energy conversion of a jet engine from fuel to movement.

So imo, cheaper seems plausible, energy efficient is a maybe.

That’s not good, but it’s not like we can switch to a more secure alternative. ;)

Oh sure. They could do this. But they don’t.

But there is absolutely no way to verify what they are doing, no fear of getting caught and thus there is no incentive to behave with integrity.

At least my state of knowledge is that this: https://reproducible-builds.org/ isn’t fully functional and even if it were what HP does on their machines is closed source stuff.

And even if there were companies or organizations that are big enough to enforce transparency, like a big multinational or a government, there will be plenty of cases where smaller companies with sensitive data can’t, like doctors offices or independent lawyers.

It is way easier to charge for a “data privacy” subscription tier and then still just not honoring the wording of that, than to actually put in the effort.

Gumbies isn’t real, but if you can explain to me how CI/CL or github actions work using only their documentation I’m going to proverbially eat a hat.

If anyone seriously believes HP will develop two copies of operating software, one with “send everything to HP” and one without, they are delusional.

It may very well be that there will be a contract saying something completely different than what is happening in those machines.

If this is not a meme…

You know how you have to look up… errors when you don’t know what they mean?

That.

Figuring out how to do something specific, like UI, works just like that. All the time. It’s “looking up how it works”, then “messing around with it until it does” all the way down.

If you are just starting out, coding something in HTML and javascript might be intuitive, because you can see and run it right away. Otherwise you will have to figure out how to use some kind of UI framework in the language you’re using. Because they’re all different. Yeeeaaah…

I think it’s harder for compiled languages and easier for interpreted ones.

Where is the guitar?

How do you expect people to become rockstar https://codewithrockstar.com/ devs without a guitar?!

…and whose fault is that, private publishing industry? Hmmm? Who didn’t invest here?

Also #politics for allowing it to happen of course.

Yes, but I don’t think it matters. It’s not hyper specialized yet, but the initial problem of “there are no users” is gone. I don’t think anything can stop the fediverse now. The protocol is just too useful to not support.

Anyone got a commmand line tool change all my stuff? Because if I have to do change all the remotes all the time, for dozens of projects I’m going to lose my mind.

Also the migration on gitlab/codeberg looked like an amount of effort that doesn’t round down to zero.

Please take care that modern design practices and the latest materials are used in construction of the house, as I want it to be a showplace for the most up-to-date ideas and methods. Be alerted, however, that kitchen should be designed to accommodate, among other things, my 1952 Gibson refrigerator.

That’s actually too easy, because electrical systems have been standardized for a long time.

Should be something like “15 highpowered electrical stoves, but keep the total power consumption below 15 Watts.”

Or, homeautomation and integration with google/alexa, but using the old fridge.

How is this trial enforced?

Since it’s now closed source and they distribute what is possibly/probably/presumably a binary blob, the same way all the others are enforced. With some kind of DRM date checking whatever.

Not sure about unsung, but definitely heroes in my book.

And to be fair, this Orwellian oversight could be a good thing. Literally over the last few weeks, we’ve witnessed a huge manhunt for a guy suspected of being involved in a chemical attack. At the time of writing, he was last seen on the Victoria Line. So if this AI technology had already been rolled out across the Tube network, it could have conceivably been possible to find him before he had even left the station.

But what makes the tech powerful is also what makes it scary.

Really. Ya think. What gave it away.

You know what this feels like? It feels like this sketch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_4J4uor3JE
