  I wasn’t calling you out at all just going on a bit of a tangent :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We can play that game too⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I love taxes, I would gladly pay even more taxes if that meant everyone would be provided for.

  Except at the moment our taxes here in Belgium are already quite high, and our tax system is a complete cluster fuck with plenty of loopholes for the strongest shoulders to not have to carry their weight. Some part of that is even fraudulent, and they’re trying to get a law through right now to find those cases of fraud more efficiently… But it is being opposed by parts of the govt with privacy as the excuse (which I’d normally agree with, except what they’re trying to change is not that egregious afaik and the ratio of found vs investigated fraud is insane)

  Indeed, all fun and games until they kidnap you from the streets because their religious laws prohibit the way you dress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In terms of unique features there’s a few places where it shines.

  Glance: You know how you open a link in the background to not lose the tab you’re currently on? Well in Zen you just click it with Alt+click and it pops open in an overlay which you can easily click away when you’re done with it (or open it to a ‘full’ tab if you need it)

  Split view: exactly what it sounds like, have multiple tabs open side-by-side or above each other in the same window

  Side tabs: exactly what sideberry does except the browser is fully designed around it with features like workspaces (with per workspace themes), essential tabs (are shown on top in each workspace) and pinned tabs (per workspace) all just being great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s great, it does basically what sideberry does (or at least what it did for me, iirc sideberry had a config page 3 miles long so ymmv) but it’s built-in and that allows for things an extension just couldn’t do.

  And then there’s glance and split view which I pretty much can’t live without anymore

  Tailscale with a subnet router running for my home network makes it so that I can just connect to 192.168.50.57 from wherever I like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to use sideberry too, now I’m on the zen browser firefox fork and its pretty great

  Depending on the image gallery you’re using it might respect .noimage

  And the alternative is?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  DeArrow shows the title as something like “why you can’t trust AI with facts”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Punch Time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Idiots and assholes exist everywhere. At least ours don’t have guns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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.
