- Comment on Social media platforms including X, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp have been restricted in Turkey 18 hours ago:
Even though it would be better for the world if everyone blocked that shit (maybe except YouTube, as it got its use cases), but they blocked it for all the wrong reasons.
They dont give a shit about well-being or standing up to big tech. They just want all ideas of an opposition to dissapear.
They are silencing free speech - at least that’s the goal.
- Comment on Stripe CEO Explains Why Stablecoins Are Winning Over Global Businesses 1 day ago:
I dont. But we are talking about your post about stable coins. Then we imagine how it could be done with the information you provide.
Also, the EU is making a digital Euro. Might be on the blockchain also, might not, but it’s an option still.
Google it and read about it, if you want to know more about it. There’s some official sources.
- Comment on Stripe CEO Explains Why Stablecoins Are Winning Over Global Businesses 2 days ago:
Yeah, but we are not talking about apps.
We are talking about stable coins, which is on a blockchain. The app is not important, as the stable coins would have to integrate will alot of paying options and banks.
Which means alot of different apps.
- Comment on Stripe CEO Explains Why Stablecoins Are Winning Over Global Businesses 2 days ago:
Yeah… That’s why I said EU.
- Comment on Stripe CEO Explains Why Stablecoins Are Winning Over Global Businesses 2 days ago:
True, but only if the provider is a private company - which is batshit crazy.
If it is on the national bank to provide this service, we would actually get more transparency than today.
Money is already being printed all the time, but with stable coins on a blockchain, we would always know the circulation number.
- Comment on Age Verification Is A Windfall for Big Tech—And A Death Sentence For Smaller Platforms 2 days ago:
Hopefully, in the EU at least, the verification will be provided by the government. Like a 2FA, meaning Big Tech would only get a verified token and nothing else.
The government already got passports with our face, and have had it for many years. They could use that information.
That would mean that any platform could implement this verification, and never get hold on any data.
Best case in a shitty scenario, I know.
- Comment on Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good 2 days ago:
Yeah, I read it. But they still promised open source, nothing about Barry working on it or not.
That’s why I said “keeping their promise”
- Comment on Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good 3 days ago:
Big unlucky.
- Comment on Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good 3 days ago:
No, that wasnt intended.
- Comment on Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good 3 days ago:
In a Reddit AMA, the then-Branch CEO Alex Austin also revealed that if Kevin ever left Branch, they would open-source Nova Launcher’s code and release it to the community.
We still have hope if they keep their promise!

- Comment on [JS Required] Google Fined $3.5 Billion by EU Over Ad-Tech Business 3 days ago:
Holy shit, the quote is wild!
At this stage, it appears that the only way for Google to end its conflict of interest effectively is with a structural remedy, such as selling some part of its Adtech business.
- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 4 days ago:
Also just users. No docker or anything, just using the system someone else setup for them.
NextCloud is used everywhere, also in commercial use.
- Comment on Writing was invented before reading. 1 week ago:
Yeah, agreed. But OP could be technically correct, if you count the almost non existing time the person wrote something before the light from the writing reached the eye.
But then again, there’s a higher chance someone splashed something random on a wall and thought “hey that looks like something” making reading the first, because the “writing” was not intentional making it a different action.
Makes sense? Maybe.

- Comment on There are people young enough to not even remember Pokémon Red/Blue who are old enough to be parents now 1 week ago:
If we suggest that people 20 years old and younger today, born from 2004, doesnt know the floppy disk.
That would be 33% of the world population. Let that sink in.

- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 1 week ago:
It will probably be for the rest of the world.
EU devices not effected.

Well, if they succeed, it’s because of efficiency and lowering costs. Second is how much the data and control is really worth.
The big companies is not just developing LLM’s, so they might justify it with other kinds of AI that actually makes them alot of money, either trough the market or government contracts.
But who knows. This is a very new technology. If they actually make a functioning personal assitant so good, that it’s inconvinient not to have it, it might work.

Or it will gate keep them from poor people. It will mean alot if the capabilities keep on improving.
That being said, open source models will be a thing always, and I think it think with that in mind, it will not go away, unless it’s replaced with something better.
- Comment on ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity 3 weeks ago:
Technologies come and go, but often when a worldwide popular one vanishes, it’s because it got replaced with something else.
So lets say we need LLM’s to go away. What should that be? Impossible to answer, I know, but that’s what it would take.
We cant even get rid of Facebook and Twitter.
BUT that being said. LLMs will be 100x more efficient at some point - also like any other new technology. We are just not there yet.
