Vaultwarden should!

Nice. I thought something like this was a great idea. My kids finished last year. I wonder if I can still log in and use it!

It, of course affects pricing. If they pay $5 to apple, you pay $5 more. It’s just like Trump’s tariffs. The end user pays. Sure, the market encourages keeping prices down to attract customers, but if everyone pays a toll, you can’t compete below that.

Now the companies can. Just like you don’t care about companies paying each other, companies don’t care where they can cut costs. Making their product cheaper, and therefore more attractive to increase sales is good for them. In this case it just happens to be good for consumers too. They may not pass on that hypothetical $5 but if they pass on $4, we’re still better off. Apple is worse off.

I wonder how long before services are targeted for tariffs in response to Trump. It may be that prices for apps and games go back up immediately.

I’ve a Synology nas, so it’s running synologys os. It started as my docker container manager but it’s a pretty basic one, so my laptop became the docker manager for the more hefty stuff. My Nas just acts as a qbittorrent and file server now. Laptop is opensuse tumbleweed.

Unsupported, with a screen not showing what it should means doesn’t work, for a non tech user. It’s deliberate misrepresentation. This is also called lying.

You can lie by omission. You can lie blatantly and you can lie by inference.

Sure, mobile responsive design can be frustrating. However, they are a giant company with billions in resources. They are not doing it to help users, they are doing it to force app downloads and data harvesting.

Yes, but it could have an option to choose desktop version on phone screen or download app.

They could even design a mobile friendly website.

If they are lying to you and you need to circumvent their demands, then that is asshole design in my view,.too.

The point is that under offering users the ability to have all network requests altered is not secure. The user needs to authorize it and there are valid reasons to do so, but there are also bad actors, that will misuse that. I am pretty security conscious, but I can’t tell you which extensions have which permissions on which devices I use, between Firefox, chrome, safari on windows 10,11, android, iOS and opensuse. Placing all the responsibility on the user just removes it from where it should be, which is privacy focused code.

Yes, but other extensions are not and can access the same permissions. They can even steal the unlock origin source code to do so.

AI processing is a moneymaker for them. It runs on Linux, usually, so they want to ensure they are not leapfrogged. They are not supporting Linux, they are trying to make more money. However, it happens to benefits Linux.

There are more people who only browse and use cross platform apps that don’t realise they could switch easily, than there are people for whom a switch would be problematic.

Windows has more supported software, but many people use a small range of common software. Gamers are just one niche. Just like you think Linux users are an echo chamber here, you are not considering the echo chamber of gamers you’re in that dont represent most windows users.

Vikunja is free to self host. It has a polished appearance but sometimes a little rough around the edges in function. I chose it as it’s useful for tasks across multiple users.

I’ve never really used Linux as a daily driver. Back in the same Ubuntu period as you, intrialled it but got sick of software compatibility problems. So much is cloud web based these days, that it’s less of an issue.

What surprised me as a distro hopped looking for my home laptop flavourz was how different it was to install different software, such as docker. Some distros it was a hassle to run well. Some it needed workarounds, whichh surprised me.

So, I’d look at what you plan to run, then decide between opensuse, pop, mint or fedora and how easy they support what you want to do. I dipped back into Ubuntu but they have started to make some m$ style choices where you have to take back control as they try to make your PC act like they want not how you want.

All can be made to support whatever you want but not all do our of the box.

Oh, certainly LLMs are here to stay. Hopefully, they become conmoditised very quickly. But also, hopefully, the bubble bursts quickly too. Shoehorning AI into everything is dogshit. Actually using it for select reasons, where it is successful, should be great.

Already we have things like customer support phone trees that try to get rid of user interaction with scripts. AI here could be great to improve them. What’s more likely is as the tech improves, more companies use AI rather than peioke for customer support, lol. Its dystopian.

The difference, of course, is the belt sander is not purporting to be able to screw fasten. Nor will it with a future update or subscription.

Yes, but for the average user, if it confidently gives misinformation, then its worse than a search engine. It is removing the verification step of reading the source, seospam aside. The whole business model is on using it more, not selectively.

One thing the article leaves out is the costs of processing should go down over time. Hopefully, as power transitions,.it also becomes more sustainable. However, it starts to become a bit like uber and self driving cars. How long can they burn through other peoples money to undercut competitions until the actual plan becomes profitable.

But if any research source cannot be used without verification, is it really useful? I agree, we should verfiy crucial information but when its wrong often, but confidently so, using natural language is a barrier not a benefit.

Because when ghosted, some people catastrophise. If it happens a lot they start to worry about what might be wrong with them. Our brains aren’t wired for it.

So, yes, sometimes a polite lie is better than nothing. Sometimes a polite lie is better than the truth. Its not you, its me.

Closure. People lie in real life too, not just on the internet.

Nonokace like /home

Which makes them even less of an authority.

Its not that it can’t happen now. Its that it will happen all the time with digital tags.
