  Hard to interpret this amount any other way than permission to keep doing the same thing. $20M is like a rounding error for Big Tech.

  I don’t mean existing manufacturers necessarily. Unfortunately there are no certainties, but I’d say give it some time. These chips are (or at the very least becoming) strategic commodities, so the greater the squeeze the more appealing the business case will be. Besides, both the US and EU want to grow their chip manufacturing capacity and it’s not like there is no investment money available. So at some point production capacity will grow.

  Apparently there is a huge demand for storage, both RAM and disk. Oh, and GPUs… So what happens when large number of people are looking to buy stuff? In time, I think there is a silver lining here…

  Besides the critique towards the person have you any insights as to which of his statements could be biased?

  I’m just going to leave this here for reference en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It's Possible to jailbreak F-35 like iPhone', Says Dutch State Secretary of Defense Tuinman⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a ridiculus statement coming from a government official. Can’t imagine any other motivation than a clickbait equivalent intended to sling the topic in public limelight.

  Given enough effort and time all software can be reverse engineered. So “jailbreaking” is plausible. But that is just one piece of this puzzel. Here is a more informed version www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X9ww6FtUhE

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon is testing easier ways to get you started in the fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It is simple: nowadays security awareness is drilled in for most of the online population. If presented by a choice people can’t oversee, the default safest option is not to chose. I mean, how many new Mastodon users know any of these servers?

  So, as couter-intuitive or even ironic it may seem, the “problem” is choice. People need to learn that social media is no longer a single entity, but more like email or choosing a bank.

  Why, would a closed account be a problem for them? Imagine one day receiving a short video from your deceised mom saying hi and inviting you back to fb for a chat.

  But only if you reactivate your account

  Looks promising. Thanks for sharing

  WD should run their business as they like. Given the simmering ai crash I’d make sure to get payed upfront. As for the other vendors, this is their chance to pick up market share.

  Another happy NewPipe user here… yeah, AFAIC I’m enjoying YT access with NewPipe while it lasts. The day NewPipe is locked out I’m ditching YT entirely.

  I expect I won’t be alone who will switch to PeerTube or another alternative. So hopefully content will remain available 🤞

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  For Android user I can recommend Newpipe. For the desktop I use FreeTube

  Both have occassional issues when YT rolls out their latest enshittification features, but the devs are quite responsive.

  Regardless, YT is a loosing battle, so prepare for the day when Google will win this arms race. That is why alternatives like PeerTube are important.

  Imagine that 🤣

  If anyone wonders why there are so many scams, it’s easy! The average consumer is in general are short sighted, gullible and naive. Of course there will be plenty who will to exploit that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta patented an AI that lets you keep posting after you die⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, who wouldn’t want a mega corp to take over the personality of a loved one after they die? What could be better to help grieving than seeing an upbeat post of a deceised friend or loved one about the latest insurance benefits in your feed. This is some vile, soulless shit even for meta

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HelixNotes - a local-first markdown note-taking app (Rust + Tauri, AGPL-3.0)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Never worked with any note taking apps except for Vim with customized snippets and rudamentary helper scripts.

  While such an app seems very appealing, I haven’t seen any of them featuring the useful stuff, such as pluggable editor (in my case Vim or NeoVim), template support (day journal, meeting, README etc…), support for pandoc rendering, doc metadata management (tags, keywords, related docs) or markers in text eg. @TODO etc… (idea being to aut. create lists of paragraps with such markers)

  What’s the point of a note taking app that provides help with editing single docs and maybe with rendering to HTML, but doesn’t help organizing and remembering stuff?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It is important to realize that what is happening in the US is not because of any single person.

  The orange baboon is but a sympthom, not the disease. I like how some YT video put it: the disassembly of the rule of law is being done by a rare and fragile coalition of multiple small but powerful private groupings on the one hand and the clueless masses on the other.
