Then you haven't been paying attention.

you are thinking of capitalists, or do you think Sam Altman and Musk are some tech geniuses?

> complete elimination of any privacy rights at all. Like the surveillance state is insane. No e2ee chats, backdoors in everything.

wtf are you on about?

"Governments are still more powerful than corporations, this is why I am more afraid of the censorship of the internet by governments than of it by corporations"

Sure mate, disregard the fact that some companies make more money than half the countries in the world and are actively trying to undermine democracies, but yeah it's the government's fault for trying to protect the citizens.

> Gnome 3 just works. It takes up reasonably small visual space, shows windows, has multiple desktops, I can do everything with either just a keyboard or with just a mouse.

And 20 extensions because by default it's borderline useless

Re:EU chief opens door for Canada to become 'associate member' on Wednesday September 16, 2026 @07:35AM (#49725146)
well you see, maybe one day they'll be the CEO of that multi-trillion dollar company, so it's better to err on the side of capitalism. /s

Ah yes, the pleasures of paying $1000+ dollars for a phone whose developers can't even bother to add an `if (!indexingDone)`.

I'll answer your question though: because it doesn't show anywhere the progress of the indexing.

But you are signing it with your _private_ key, presumably. You know, the key that stays on your device and nobody knows?
Re:Navier-Stokes – Tristan Buckmaster [pdf] on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @02:57AM (#49622287)
Why would a company that used petabytes of text, images and audio without caring about ownership suddenly draw the line at a random person's chats?
What an incredibly bad take. "It's not open source because we have the source but not the thought process of the developer" - well then no project on this earth is truly open source by your definition.
Re:Homebrew 6.0.0 on Friday June 12, 2026 @03:47AM (#48501104)
Last time I used it it was missing some features (like compose for example), but nothing a LLM can't fix (needed just some symlinking).

But it's not "it just works" yet.

You're right to point that out! Most people did not think of this but you did -- and that's a rare skill to have.
Re:Claude Fable 5 on Wednesday June 10, 2026 @03:01AM (#48472509)
Don't forget EU bad! Because they won't let Apple screw over consumers.
Re:Siri AI on Tuesday June 09, 2026 @03:43AM (#48457917)
same argument can be applied to you, if you don't want to use Claude/OpenAI/Deepseek instead of Gemini, then DON'T!
that's the nice thing about open weights, you can always retrain them with the latest documentation, no need to fill your context

"cursor 3" is just a landing page. The editor is still the old vscode fork...
I'm sorry to hear that. So would you like others to suffer from them as well if given the choice?
yet some abstractions are more deterministic than others

Can you explain how this paper is relevant to the comment you replied to?
It's unbelievable how many EU haters are on this sub. Literally anything good it does, if you point it put you get downvoted. Stay classy.

Or perhaps you believe that this year all manufacturers, Apple especially, decided out of the goodness of their hearts that their devices need to be repairable?
