Nice. We've seen some good engineering work from DeepSeek. Keep it coming.

Wait. When I first saw this news on Twitter I thought it was a joke, since it was a tweet by The Onion.

I’ve been using Linux for a long time for personal purposes and I understand what the blog says. But I also feel like it doesn’t have to be this way: Linux should be easy to use, with little hassle, friendly to newbies, with a community of support.

Over the years Linux desktop has indeed improved, but still with much problems to use. We should adopt a growth mindset instead of sticking to asceticism.

I'd like to hear a security expert's take on this. Something about this makes me feel real nervous.

Great technological advancement. I believe congratulations is in order.

I'm partially degoogled thanks to Hacker News as well as "Tech Twitter."

And as much as I don't think people can be completely "degoogled", we need some healthy competition to keep juggernaut's power in check. And hopefully we can nudge it towards more privacy-aware and open practices.

Interesting. Would be really helpful to see a more detailed expert audit on the reverse-engineered source code, and point out to the actual privacy offenses, and analyze how dangerous they really are compared to other social media apps (Twitter, Facebook, ...)

FWIW, people are already using Apple Pay and Google Pay through a phone with fingerprint sensors. So... it's really not a new thing we're sacrificing privacy for convenience.
