  no reason to believe it violates “democratic values”

  In my country the law is one of the pillars of democracy, but you do you 👍

  And I think “vibe” means that they have no experience with programming so they can’t read the code they copy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  At least it was Americans talking on an american platform. I wouldn’t be surprised if we had french Europeans leaders having occasionally this kind of discussions on Microsoft Teams or some Google chat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  On Signal you can verify user identify, and you should absolutely do it if we to discuss national security maters.

  This is not a hidden feature, I think it’s designed to prevent man in the middle attack. It also work against the “oops I accidentally added a journalist to my conversation no one should know of”, which is so dumb that no one saw this coming 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You Need to Use Signal's Nickname Feature⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you were to discuss national security maters with someone, please just verify your safety numbers, IRL or through another safe and verified channel 🙄

  Can we stop benchmarking text generation models on things they’re not designed to do and start educating people on what they actually can do?

  Oh no we can’t, there’s already hundreds of commercial services…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox Nightly Preps Progressive Web App Support⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But it’s easier to block trackers & ads on a PWA, and life made me very cynical about “the industry” 😅

  Man, we’re not even 3 months in (6%) and everyone is preparing for world war 3. Americans needs to step up now.

  Well, the comment that showed bust above yours shows an article from NYT doing exactly that 😮‍💨

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judges Are Fed up With Lawyers Using AI That Hallucinate Court Cases⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A bit out of context my you recall me of some thinking I heard recently about lying vs. bullshitting.

  Lying, as you said, requires quite a lot of energy : you need an idea of what the truth is and you engage yourself in a long-term struggle to maintain your lie and keep it coherent as the world goes on.

  Bullshit on the other hand is much more accessible : you just have to say things and never look back on them. It’s very easy to pile a ton of them and it’s much harder to attack you about any of them because they’re much less consequent.

  So in that view, a bullshitter doesn’t give any shit about the truth, while a liar is a bit more “noble”. 0

  You don’t need any knowledge of computers to understand how big of a deal it would be if we actually built a reliable fact machine. For me the only possible explanation is to not care enough to try and think about it for a second.

  That’s weird they decided to publish this with creepy horror-style sounds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But one question I’ve been asking myself is : then, wouldn’t I be fingerprinted as one of the few nerds who activated the resist fingerprinting option?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But does privacy badger also act on the canvas APIs & cie. ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So I guess for Firefox users it’s time to enable the resist fingerprinting option ? support.mozilla.org/…/resist-fingerprinting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rust is Eating JavaScript⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t mean it’s a bad choice !

  But I think it’s a good example of the compromise that has to be made here : what’s the best fitting technology vs. how to ensure easy onboarding for future contributors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rust is Eating JavaScript⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I see huge benefits in building the tools used by a community with the technology this community masters. IMO the Python’s stdlib sucks because it’s written in C which is a huge barrier to entry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one change that worked: I set my phone to ‘do not disturb’ three years ago – and have never looked back⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ignoring a text that “I can answer later” is actually what hits me with most cognitive charge :

  My current balance is :

  1. To never give notification permission except when it is necessary for the core goal of the application.
  2. Automatically enable do not disturb from 11pm until alarm clock.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing Privacy Pass authentication for Kagi Search | Kagi Blog⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well in theory that’s all you need to verify nothing is sent to the server. Then you can only trust them for not using your IP or behavior to find out who you are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing Privacy Pass authentication for Kagi Search | Kagi Blog⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And it’s already the best search engine I’ve used in a while!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is once again advertising on X after more than a year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paris Declaration on Maintaining Human Control in AI enabled Weapon Systems.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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…

  He is rich tough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is starlink a security issue?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit temporarily bans r/WhitePeopleTwitter after Elon Musk claimed it had ‘broken the law’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet Archive played crucial role in tracking shady CDC data removals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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! 🎉

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More than a quarter of new code at Google is generated by AI.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree that it’s suspicious. This is a HUGE number that would imply a drastic change in their development process and I’m surprised that they don’t give much more information, especially since (as you said) it would promote their product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More than a quarter of new code at Google is generated by AI.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks ! ❤️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More than a quarter of new code at Google is generated by AI.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not disappointed by The Verge, first paragraph paraphrases the title with no source and the following is just off topic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a bit more subtle than that. While the medium really facilitate the behavior that you describe, I’m pretty sure that it also hosts sane usages, creative content and positive communities.
