  Not sure why but those NEVER work for me lol

  Not this, not magic eye books, absolutely nothing works.

  What part is hand drawn? Seems a little scummy to use AI and then put your watermark in the corner of the art you stole…

  Facial recognition in smartphones is a very different thing from basically every point of view. Are you sure you don’t know a single person using an iPhone? Chances are they’ll be using FaceID to unlock their phone.

  I don’t think I know a single person NOT using biometrics to unlock their smartphone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WhatsApp is officially getting ads⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same in Germany.

  I do believe it’s better than using iMessage for example but it’s undoubtedly rubbish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An earnest question about the AI/LLM hate⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not part of the hate crowd but I do believe I understand at least some of it.

  A fairly big issue I see with it is that people just don’t understand what it is. Too many people see it as some magical being that knows everything…

  I’ve played with LLMs a lot, hosting them locally, etc., and I can’t say I find them terribly useful, but I wouldn’t hate them for what they are. There are more than enough real issues, of course, both societal and environmental.

  One thing I do hate is using LLMs to generate tons of online content, though, be it comments or entire websites. That’s just not what I’m on the internet for.

  If we were blind on the politics / moral eye we’d be on reddit I reckon

  Sounds like half of the process your average Windows debloater goes through every time they update?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As you are doing it you never realize⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah but I also ate for the last time until I’ll eat again this evening, right?

  You can simply turn the last time into the not-last time at any point in the future

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As you are doing it you never realize⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So how do you install operating systems?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨European Commission fines Delivery Hero and Glovo €329 million for participation in online food delivery cartel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can cook, I love cooking in fact.

  I can’t afford to order food every day (price is usually about 10x that of a cheap home cooked meal here) but I totally get it.

  When I get home after a fucking annoying day at work, I hardly want to exist, much less exist and spend time and effort cooking dinner.

  But since I’m not rich I just eat bread or cook anyway lol

  No thanks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it’s not exactly the point of the article but for a lot of things, I reckon a good amount of ‘innovation’ was pretty pointless. I personally don’t think I ever needed anything that Office 2003 can’t do… (Of course I don’t use any MS office to begin with but you get the point)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn 😱😱😱⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Care to explain?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android updates: thanks I hate it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  OneUI means Samsung.

  Samsung means: can’t do shit in the US, limited shit outside of the US. AFAIK most custom ROMs, especially for higher end Samsung’s are OneUI based. They also make it difficult (or impossible?) to use VoLTE/VoNR with custom ROMs because of their own proprietary IMS stack

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla confirms it has given up on its Cybertruck range extender to achieve promised range⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  $16k to get closer to what they promised lol Probably won’t do that much considering the added weight

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why I don't use AI in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree on the part that Musk sucks, OpenAI also sucks.

  And yup, open source (if you can really call them that, I’d say they’re more like openly available) locally hosted LLMs are cool and have gotten pretty efficient nowadays.

  My 5 year old M1 MacBook Pro runs models like Qwen3:14b at decent speeds and it’s quite capable (although I only ever use it for bullshitting lol).
