I only wish they served ads *instead* of actual content, not alongside it.
Anti-AI-slop skill for a slop maker. Ironic.

Apparently, not a single person in Mullvad’s press department is aware of Popper’s paradox of tolerance.
They will cross-reference your accounts to a single person based on godzillion behaviour metrics, don’t worry.
Sorry, mate, too busy turning everything into (liquid gl)ass

Don’t worry, it will soon be replaced with Gemini, and you will be quote-unquote absolutely right.

Seriously? Neurosloped article is going to shame me for spending RAM and electricity to load tabs? That’s beyond irony.
It is not uncommon in Europe, I believe. Swedish government had put a lot of effort into making Sweden a cashless country: it’s rare to see businesses accepting cash aside from grocery stores. But even here occasionally you get a yellow pamphlet called ”If crisis or war comes” that advises you to have a small surplus of cash in case <put enemy country name here> hackers manage to take down banking infrastructure.

Considering the massive backlash it caused, it showed the exact opposite.

Does Apple see it as an issue? This can be easily framed as an advantage: see, we hardened our bootloader, security goes brrrrrr.

You can always modify the lists on lines 16-17 to add/remove topics.

Why having an easy way to organise a data feed that will work even on cheapest clients and servers, when you can simply boil a tank of water to get a half-assed hallucination loosely based on the source, right?

I have seen people trying to bury RSS for the past 15 years — didn’t happen yet. It is still widely used by blog enthusiasts — that’s basically how I get information about new posts from my favourite old-tech authors.

I didn’t update to iOS 26 yet specifically because of the horrendous glass UI with its zero contrast everywhere. Just wondering if enabling high contrast and disabling gradients in the accessibility settings help.
