  • they want to appeal to proprietary companies

    Wtf does that even mean? (Maybe English is not your native langage and you meant something else tho?)

  • stalkers who harassed and attacked me and my family

    Wtf is wrong with these people?

  • Yeah, the most "free" option is probably android custom ROMs (anything based on lineageos, I suppose).

    There are alternatives that are slowly building up, such as postmarketos, but it's not production ready.

    I think KaiOS was a thing for a while, and it's based on FirefoxOS. But you would have to ditch the confort of a real smartphone and I'm not sure it's still active?

    EDIT : KaiOS is indeed maintained BUT it is still based on Android (probably with less higher level components)

  • Please bring me back 10 years ago when I though we would no longer have global conflicts and that cold war taught us a lesson about weapons that can get out of hands...

  • Any critical infrastructure operated abroad is a security issue. That's why even Europe developed its own alternative to GPS, to not be entirely dependant of the US?

    I'm no expert, but I hardly see it being more complicated?

  • Yeah exactly, I'm not it was clear that it was what I meant by "the formatter should ensure ..."

  • Well he's both the richest man on earth and prime minister-ish of the home country of these platforms.

    I agree he doesn't say a lot of meaningful things but it would be a mistake to think he doesn't have power.

  • When the internet archive was attacked a few months ago we were like "who would be dumb and mean enough to do that?". We have new suspects! 🎉

  • Then with a code formatter you definitely want to show this change. In a normal usage the code formatter should ensure that this kind of diff can't happen, then it's useful to see if it was not used during a code review.

  • Linux, Microsoft & iOS engineers have a flat tire.

    • The Apple engineer : "let's replace this tire ASAP"
    • The Linux engineer : "we need to understand what caused the issue first, or it might happen again"
    • The Microsoft engineer : "shouldn't we just go back in the car and see if the issue solves itself?"
  • Actually this sounds fun, I know how I'll waste some time this weekend :D

  • We actually it seems quite fair-ish 🤷

    AI has the potential to be a truly revolutionary development, one that could drive advancement for centuries. But it must be done correctly. These companies stand to make billions of dollars in revenue, and yet they violated our privacy and are training their tools using our data without our permission. Recent history shows we must act now if we’re to avoid an even worse version of surveillance capitalism.

  • I've seen much pointless dumb shit these last days, but this one still manages to shine.

  • I think this rate limiting mechanism is mostly a niceness rule : you should try to not put too much pressure on any website and obey the rules defined in its robots.txt.

    So I guess this idea is not bad as it would mostly penalize bad players.

  • And didn't they explicitly state that they went down because "the US government is not working on a solution", 12h before this government changed?

  • To be fair, you haven't invented fascism.

    Although, in France we have a sort of proverb that says that what happens in the US happens here 10 years later. I hope we will manage to dodge what's coming at us, this time...

  • It felt miraculous for me that, for a while, tech companies appeared to comply to regulation (doing the bare minimum, as slowly as possible, but it kinda worked).

    My hypothesis is that they now except political support from Trump administration and to pressure the EU?
