The title alone give me chills. Software evolution follows the means, not the need. Nowadays we make laggy systems with 1000x the available computation we had twenty years ago.

I want something reliable and fast before having something fancy. I want control over my stuff instead of a company telling me what to install and what not to. I want to feel that I own my stuff, not that I'm using someone else's hardware.

Just make an indexed cache of it instead of storing it

Nowadays there's a lot of Muslims practicing their faith very differently from what most do. They might drink or smoke, and live a more "flexible" version, their own version of their own faith.

Even if, in fine, you are right despite the downvotes. Islam is also a political and legal system that cannot cohabit with another system (no system can cohabit with another one, you can't have a democracy and a dictature at the same place)

This might be a hot-take, but unfortunately here using AI for your paper was already a bad decision at first.

It doesn't take OpenAI's responsibilities away but I guess the right way is to never feed of use any AI around unpublished content, at the known cost to see it spread around.

As one said, OpenAO is like this untrustworthy colleague that knows everything about everyone at work: the less you tell him the better.

Firefox is getting milked for profit by a few individuals. User data collection, personalized ads and such for profit, while the CEO's paycheck exploded in 15 years.

it also makes it urgent to have a platform with leverage under 3-5 years, with a whole lot of countries pushing for digital ID globally.

You will own nothing and be happy.

Also check the agenda 2030. The European digital wallet. The cyberscore.

All those elements together makes a digital Europe (and more) where there's no cash anymore, where your website has to be compliant to be working with EU's ID and payments systems.

It's going to be all centralised and about subscriptions, no matter if it's about your electricity bill or your groceries.

What's wrong then? It is definitely true from user experience.

That article says that most image generators had been over-shadowed by gpt.

Yet when I ask some simple tasks to it, like doing a 16:9 picture sized image instead of a square one, it ends up doing a 16:9 on a white background that matches a square.

When I ask it to make it with text, then on the second request to redo while changing just a certain visual element, it ends up breaking the previously asked text.

It's getting more good at flattering people and telling them how clever and right they are than actually doing the task.

You can either go using open source protocols at first or at least guarantee open-sourcing most of it in case of leadership change. For reuse.

I'd go starting with it and let a community build by itself around it, tho.

I wish I'd have a plugin that makes the difference before/after accepting cookie consent, always accept, and always flush them between pages.

I know by experience that the key isn't about refusing them, but letting them having those "user accepted" KPI values, even if it goes nowhere behind.

Totally. Even the regular search is mostly made of selling links.

And in quantity, it seems like 9/10th of the content is gone.

There's still Ricoh. I literally found a big one in the streets that worked perfectly (I suppose the small company that was at this address needed something bigger).

Generic cartridges are just find and you refill them easily.

No they don't.

The guy took an annual license which is cheaper than a monthly one, and paid with monthly payments.

As such, he engaged himself by paying the whole year, not only few months.

Cancelling out means he has to complete the annual payment, which is of course due, according the what he signed for.
