Deepseek is in some ways subsidized as well since they use data for training.

I love AI and LLMs as much as the next person, but sometimes I just want to browse stories about, say programming. So I built this for myself and figured I will share it here as well.Each story gets up to three tags, and I can use them to filter down the top stories to just the topics I am interested in. The tagging isn’t perfect. For example, some tags have a lot of overlap, like AI/ML and...

Still working on PocketWise (https://pocketwise.app), a simple double-entry accounting app. Just finished adding end-to-end encryption with a zero-trust server model. All encryption and decryption happens in the browser (using PRF), and the server only sees encrypted data.
Re:I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too
on Sunday January 11, 2026 @11:18AM (#46577004)
I have an old Lenovo IdeaPad with fairly modest hardware, and I have both Fedora and Windows installed. About 90% of the time I use Fedora, and it works fine overall. The only thing that bothers me is that Firefox on Fedora feels noticeably more sluggish compared to Edge or Firefox on Windows. Maybe it’s just a perception issue, but I’d love to know what others are using as their web browser on Linux.

Even someone with direct server access cannot read it. This came directly from feedback on my previous post, financial data is deeply personal, and putting minutia of ones personal finance on a remote server...

Working on pocket wise.

It would make a great dataset for benchmarking different solver approaches.

I agree with the sentiment of the blog, but it doesn't present a very compelling argument. Just relies on authority rather than evidence or logical reasoning.
