Re:Proton's CEO Cancels AI 'Re-Interviews' on Friday October 30, 2026 @03:19PM (#50308903)
One could easily argue that the CEO's comments about employees being "losers" are quite abusive. He's not acting as a responsible leader. Sounds like a terrible place to work. Glad I never moved any services to Proton.

Do we really need humans writing code anymore though? Another year of development and AI is just going to be superior to a human writing code. It's already about 90% there.
It means the CBC needs to get better journalists.
I just assume that everything you put into Google is used for ads.

These are all human-generated software bugs. At some point when AI writes all code, the bugs should all but disappear. Almost.

Unraid. Update. Now
Re:OpenTodo, a Todoist killer with MCP integration on Thursday October 15, 2026 @07:10PM (#50111641)
I don't normally gush, but this self-hosted todo manager is exactly what I've been looking for. Found on Reddit. https://github.com/pixari/OpenTodo
Gee, I wonder what the cause could have been.

Getting really tired of proving I'm human every time I visit a website. It's about 90% of the time now.

Yeah, the HR people will freak out. Any excuse for those guys to come down like a hammer.

The prompt that created these images doesn't mention that they want a Caucasian skin color. Huh. Racist LLMs?
404 Media is doing a much better job at breaking major stories than mainstream media. Nice.
The most shocking point is that they have a Microsoft exec who knows what he's talking about.

I also hate Microsoft.
Re:DuckDuckGo No-AI: Private Search Without AI on Thursday September 17, 2026 @04:06PM (#49745828)
One of the best features of Kagi is the fact that it makes a call to Kimi AI for queries that end in a question mark. It makes the search experience so much better. DDG is missing out.

Why on earth would you present a presentation that you haven't reviewed ahead of time?
All right, which one of you is going to go through the trouble of explaining what this is about?
Re:Dario, Please on Monday September 14, 2026 @04:45PM (#49703726)
This. There's no slowing down whatsoever. If the US slows down AI development, China will just leapfrog them, which they're getting close to doing. The US AI companies saying they need to slow down is just PR nonsense.

Mullvad did a really good job writing up this blog post. And yet again GrapheneOS to the rescue.
Re:Claude is no longer available for minors on Friday September 11, 2026 @07:14AM (#49656464)
I wonder if part of the reason is that minors are not capable of entering into legally binding agreements. So maybe they're trying to enforce adherence to the terms of service. Dunno.
Re:Ubuntu Is Run by "N00bs" (and It Shows) on Tuesday May 05, 2026 @08:10PM (#48030503)
Canonical's recent problems show that its leadership is extremely poor. They don't know the first thing about communicating during a major outage. And they know nothing about corporate responsibility.

Already switched to Debian vanilla.

It's very disappointing that the company has only issued a one sentence statement nine hours ago and nothing since.

This is the exact opposite of how to communicate updates.

There should be hourly updates from the resiliency engineer on Twitter and other media.

If I were a business customer, this level of communication would suck bad.

Re:Ubuntu website and repositories outage due to DDoS on Thursday April 30, 2026 @05:30PM (#47968466)
I wish any of the folks from Canonical would post a statement about what's happening.
