TechnologyI like the idea of a smartphone that uses off-the-rack components for everything except for the screen, which should be e-ink. You don’t have to worry about apps not working, but it incentivizes you to put the thing down.

Would you be okay with synchronizing only when you’re on your own Wi-Fi network? If that’s the case, you don’t have to try exposing anything to the Internet.
You can also purchase a server online to install it on, but you’re going to get saddled with some kind of monthly fee there.
This is where your donations to the Mozilla Foundation end up.
Google funds the development of Firefox, but people who click the Donate button fund this.
The group is unencrypted because it’s not possible to encrypt group chats in Telegram, because Telegram is that bad.
Then say they won the same prize that was awarded to the inventor of the lobotomy, don’t link to a puff piece with an indefensibly bad title
This is as concrete as Sam Altman saying “AI will actually discover new science”
They did the best they should have to do.
Their statement in this article has a half dozen different reasons for dropping the project. A suspicious number of reasons, and all of them sound more like excuses. You’re definitely right about the Ministry of Truth though, because this embarrassment has been in development since 2024.
It’s like he’s describing a slot machine with unpainted wheels, leaving out the context that it’s in a casino with a big “paint me and enjoy a share of the profit” sign above it.
The social media machine was designed to be a self-serve addiction generator. It intentionally used every trick it could legally get away with.
Mike Masnick is on the Bluesky board of directors. Could this position be affecting his judgment on this specifically? because usually I expect Techdirt and Mike himself to be much more reasonable.
It’s hard to tell when he’s genuinely miserable because his face always looks like that.
I think even the text prompts are unprofitable. Sam Altman said so once, even for paid plans. I wonder if they’re still in danger of bleeding themselves dry. One can dream.
@JcbAzPx@lemmy.world what do you think?
I hope the real reason is that they’re running out of money to try new features. But some of their stated reasons, like their AI age verification sucks, aren’t so bad either.
…Actually, OpenAI has a suspicious number of reasons why they can’t do adult mode. I think they protest too much.

There’s an Emacs command to do that

To be fair to Dell, Apple’s high-resolution displays might have toned-down resolutions too. The Mac Neo ships with a lower default resolution than what it can fully handle, if I understand the settings right.
Closed-source AI company browser…
On a Telegram group chat. In other words, in plain text on a popular social network.
Regulators, take note about how encryption isn’t preventing you from finding crimes. (As if the Epstein emails weren’t enough evidence.)
I was recently encouraged a little by a lawsuit Meta lost that was based on the fact they were knowingly collecting too much data on a minor. The obvious solution is they should be more responsible with what they have (and probably start removing it), but their ideal solution is probably more data collection + focusing their abuse on vulnerable people who aren’t legally protected from it.
This offends a lot of Mozilla stans, but Firefox isn’t much better.
They have similar links to shady people, often the same shady people… That includes two friends of Jeffrey Epstein.
And Mozilla still engages in discrimination today.
From the linked document, describing an unneeded round of layoffs:
People from groups underrepresented in technology, like female
leaders and persons of color, were disproportionately impacted by the [Mozilla’s] layoff.
