TechnologyI’ve been running NoScript for ages, so for me, any JS source not explicitly whitelisted is disabled by default. I have yet to encounter a single modern paywall that can be circumvented by this. Care to share where this still works?
You’re right about the scaling issues with mobile.

Wat kind of talk is that? This is an ex-Calyx!
War damals wie heute falsch. Im Jahr darauf (2015) fing MS dann an, Windows 10 mit schlimmsten Drückermethoden zu forcieren (nag screens, dark patterns). MS hat schon lange keinen Fick darauf gegeben, was die Nutzer wollen. Die Daumenschrauben sind nun nur derart stramm angespannt, das Produkt so derart enshittifiziert, dass man die Missstände von damals in Retrospektive romantisiert.

It’s not exactly dead, it’s “on hiatus” until they’ve sorted things out. The founder and lead dev left the project without any message to the community, taking the signing keys with them. Which, obviously raised a lot of questions.
Your recommendation not to install it right now is perfectly valid. And even when the project comes back, I wouldn’t use it until the question of what exactly happened to Nick and who is running the project right now has been sufficiently answered.
Global NewsGive a man to fish and you will have fed him for a day.
Teach a man to shoot the sea mines and you will have fed him and his buddies for the duration of America’s latest illegal war.
“Starve at home or fight the wars of the ruling class abroad.” Yay, another page from Russia’s playbook implemented in the United Emirates of Ameristan!
Good work, citizen! The tech bros need you to believe that their dumb digital parrots will eventually, magically metamorphose into AGI. It’s the only thing that keeps that sweet VC money flowing and the AI bubble from popping.
uBlock blocks ads. It does not make visible what isn’t transferred.
This, however, does (the article, stripped of its paywall)
Not the Onion?

Hab’s ausprobiert. Leider haben die anderen die Attraktivität meines Körpers noch nicht entdeckt. :(
EuropeBy making an example of the UK. The UK was the first country to leave the EU, and its economy got fucked big time in the process, making other countries think twice before considering the same manoeuvre. Case in point: the AfD, Germany’s far-right populist party, used to promote an exit from the Euro and EU; seeing what happened to the UK, even those dipshits no longer do.
Wie schon bei der Maut: Der Söder Markus darf meinen Kündigungsschutz kaputtmachen, ohne dass ich eine Möglichkeit habe, dem Söder zu kündigen. Die CSU ist wahrlich der Treppenwitz des deutschen Föderalismus.
That is fantastic news! Thanks for the update!
I’ve moved to Floccus (which can sync browser tabs and bookmarks via Nextcloud Bookmarks). Does the essential parts for me.
Oh, is this a thing again? Two years ago, they were doing a Rust rewrite; the rewrite had hardly any documentation, so self-hosted FF sync was essentially dead. Is this the new thing?
To be fair, pissing on it was their only remedy after they had lit it on fire. All the water is reserved for putting out the dumpster fire that used to be the White House.
Ja, blöd. Aber gut, dann bucht man halt den Kurzstreckenflug, um mit dabei sein zu können. Das sollte einem das Klima schon wert sein. /s
Das sorgt ja auch für völlig falsche Anreize, statt Eigeninitiative und kreatives Denken zu fördern! Statt sich die Heizkosten vom Staat bezuschussen zu lassen, kann man sein Abendessen ja auch in Wollpulli, Winterjacke und Fäustlingen zu sich nehmen. Statt faul in der Stube zu sitzen und auf Steuerzahlers Nacken Licht zu verkonsumieren, kann man einfach den alten Drahtesel aus dem Keller holen und den Dynamo anwerfen! So hat man Licht und hält sich gleichzeitig fit!

I can’t help but wonder if the empowerment LLMs may have to an individual is terrifying leaders into an authoritarian mindset
LLMs are here to enrich the rich, not to “empower the individual”. They require ridiculously expensive computing power, which makes them impractical or even impossible to self-host (with data centers buying up the market, the required hardware becomes unaffordable to the individual). Now you’re at the mercy of renting out the compute from the oligarchs and their companies, and you’re also relying on their censored and biased models (see Grok and his “Mecha-Hitler” antics if you want a taste of the future). Please don’t expect that to empower you, or anyone else. It can’t, and even if it could, it wouldn’t be available to you.
Unless we democratise LLMs, they’ll just become yet another tool of enslavement in the clutches of the Epstein class.
