Also, didn’t opera sell to some spyware company? I’m team zen (firefox fork with some very neat extra features) btw.
- Comment on TRUMP 2 weeks ago:
To be fair something can be said about allowing formatting. For this the added value is little though, and it would’ve been better if an alt text was provided
- Comment on kurzgesagt – AI Slop Is Killing Our Channel 2 weeks ago:
DeArrow shows the title as something like “why you can’t trust AI with facts”
- Comment on Punch Time 2 weeks ago:
Clarification vs adaptation makes a huge difference in book translations. I don’t envy the translators having to translate witty jokes/references that really only work in the original language
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Not to mention if you want to watch something (only available) ‘in the future’ it’ll automatically get pulled when available.
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 2 weeks ago:
Installing the third party stores would be way harder than it is right now if they do that though. No way the devs of e.g. f-droid are getting a verification on an app that bypasses Google’s new ‘safety measures’
- Comment on v2.0.0: Stable Release of Immich (complete with Merch and DVD) 3 weeks ago:
I’m excited for the roadmap of better sharing, group management and improved ownership. Unfortunately in its current state having a shared “family” library of pictures next to personal pictures is only possible with various workarounds (and all of those have significant downsides). Until then I’m just using it for myself, but it’s been great so far.
- Comment on v2.0.0: Stable Release of Immich (complete with Merch and DVD) 3 weeks ago:
A paid service is something that is going to have running costs on the side of the provider. E.g. the cloud backup means they need to buy/rent storage space. If they were to do something like a service for remote machine-learning (for people that do not have the hardware to properly do that) that would be a running cost of renting gpu-time.
A paywall is a feature that would work perfectly fine without any external factors, but its blocked because you didn’t pay.
Some nuance is needed of course. Often a paid service could be self-hosted (thats why I love being able to self-host the machine learning in immich, with a different design choice that could’ve totally been a paid service).

Didn’t readarr get discontinued a few weeks ago?
- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 1 month ago:
To be fair driving isn’t stimulating at all (at least for me). Doesn’t mean I use my phone while doing it though, because… I’m not an idiot
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 1 month ago:
Not to mention just about every “serious” app (gov’t, banking, etc) check safetynet before even turning on. (Hell I’ve had a gov’t app refuse to start because I had developer options enabled, on a completely ‘clean’ phone)
So emulating them isn’t gonna work and websites do not always prioritize working on mobile anymore (“just install the app”)
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 1 month ago:
For ads at least the argument can be made that the content you consume is not yours and as such you should not be allowed to choose how it is monetized.
Google unilaterally deciding this is like Firefox or chrome adding ads to websites. Which is like no… They’re the medium through which content is consumed.
- Comment on how do i make my own limitation free ai? 2 months ago:
You can skip the first and third steps if you’d like, ollama runs just fine on windows and has gotten a UI built-in recently. You’d be up and running in about 10 mins or so instead of weeks.
- Comment on No, the UK’s Online Safety Act Doesn’t Make Children Safer Online 2 months ago:
The EU has something in the works with zero knowledge proofs. Which would be a good way to do this.
I still don’t agree on the fact that this needs doing at all… But at least it’s not as bad as the UK’s half-baked nonsense
- Comment on Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations 2 months ago:
Idiots and assholes exist everywhere. At least ours don’t have guns.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Especially dangerous because the script can change. So this stays up, gets indexed and put in the search results for people looking to do this… And then poof suddenly the script is an info stealer.
Might not even be the original poster doing this, maybe their account gets hacked and the link gets every so slightly edited.
Just bad practice.
Though I must admit I do use proxmox helper scripts… But at least that’s a somewhat trusted repo.
- Comment on Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK 2 months ago:
The sound isolation could be fixed by using a separate audio channel for Spotify, but no way it’s gonna be worth the effort as it’s not gonna be as good quality and if you’re considering doing all that you would be better off sailing the high seas (on one of the big music trackers)
- Comment on How do AI data centers manage to *consume* water, but when I cool my house, my A/C *makes* water? 2 months ago:
What I don’t get is how the water is “consumed”, it’s not like it’s gone right? It evaporates and then just comes back down as rain surely?
Same with water consumption of a sweater or a steak.
There probably is some good reason for measuring it like that but conceptually I don’t get it.
- Comment on Isn't there somebody you forgot to ask? 2 months ago:
No matter the argument for or against allowing a game, the role of deciding this should not fall to a payment processor basically holding a game platform hostage.

In Europe that used to be the case, but that changed not that long ago. Now providers are legally obligated to allow you to get your own modem
- Comment on Corporations are saving the planet! 3 months ago:
Because they’re very different bottles (the cap on the milk I’m talking about combines the seal with the cap)
- Comment on Corporations are saving the planet! 3 months ago:
That last sentence is pulling a whole lot of weight there, there are so many bad implementations out there it’s just stupid.
Also why the hell does this extend to all bottles, what is the point of a milk carton having this mandatory. (Pure coincidence, but most milk packaging I’ve come across after the change falls in the ‘bad implementation’ category)
- Comment on YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point. 5 months ago:
It’s a computer (Artificial) making a choice that is better than random (Intelligence)
What it is not is a LLM (aka chatbot). It isn’t even any type of neural network. Does not make it any less AI though

The next time they try it’s gonna be against terrorism. For sure that time it’ll pass.
- Comment on Unhappy with the recently lost file upload feature in the Nextcloud app for Android? So are we. Let us explain. - Nextcloud 5 months ago:
To be fair, not allowing the user to remove an indicator that something could be tracking them is probably not the worst idea. Otherwise it’d be too easy for someone to install an app like that and hide it.

- Comment on Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop 5 months ago:
I mean it works on my device which is on Android 15. Not sure how exactly it works though. Just give it a shot and see for yourself?
- Comment on Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop 5 months ago:
There is an app called CubeACR which does exactly that on unrooted devices.
