I wonder if it was even able to compile. I am a shitty hobby coder who just does it to make my embedded hardware projects function.

I have yet to get compilable code out of any of the AI bots I have tried. Gemini, mistral, and chatGPT. I am not making an account lol.

I have gotten some compilable python and VBA code for data analysis stuff at work, so I wonder if it is because embedded stuff uses specific SDKs that it can’t handle.

Either way I have given up on it for anything besides bouncing ideas off of or debugging where electromagnetics issues could lie (though it has been completely wrong about that also even though it is using the wrong concepts, it just reminds me of concepts that I might have overlooked)

VW ID7 was advertised as the new Passat stationwagen.

It ended up just being a standard sedan with more tacky LEDs on the outside starting at like € 70k

KiCAD for 10 years now. Leaps and bounds better than then!

Steam 15 years or so

VLC since windows XP

Firefox since then also

Arduino for quick things for 12 years about

Discord since 2016 (and now looking to change)

Amazon was toxic from day one, anticompetitive, borderline illegal, definitely corrupt as hell. It is what Epic Games Store would have been if it had been long before steam lol. The amount of shit that they bankrupted into the ground with cheap Chinese copies off the backs of VC funds while making tons of loss and then removing their storefronts…

But as soon as GabeN dies, steam will become shit probably as the vultures close in.

Wait wait wait, but trump (and magats) said everyone at the US 2020 insurrection that the only people there were Fed agent provocateurs and paid Antifa™™ actors.

Well and then Trump pardoned them but that was just forgotten about and definitely unrelated.

Glad I bought 305M of S/UTP Cat6a 8 months ago for our renovation

Zen browser, while privacy isn’t its main focus, has an awesome user interface and a bunch of QoL features and I ended up switching from Firefox.

I would bet literally any amount of money that the button doesn’t stop the AI from training on your data.

This is the biggest bait ever hahaha.

Android below red hat in corporate/authoritarian and equal to Ubuntu 😂 the OS that is trying to take away installing apps not from them and trying to fully track app developers while not giving a damn about malware that effects the user because it doesn’t effect their bottom line?

SUSE released a set of completely open source sans serif font for targeted at os-level fonts. It is a pretty good font and I started using it on many of my systems.

I mean, that won’t really work. It dampens the signal, not eliminates it, and in order to block communications, you need a net width small enough to block 1/4 wavelength which is 5cm/4, so <1 cm holes with a material thick enough for the damping.

That would be a net that weighs like 20kg lol and it would essentially be a solid cage at that point

Not to mention that it would have to fully encompass them.

Better to just use a signal jammer like they do for drones.

I would suggest first doing the basics first before diving in and trying to run cracked games. I had trouble and had to go through multiple troubleshooting steps to get DODI repacks working on windows even. the difference is there are a ton of resources of people spending hours and hours fixing broken cracked games on windows (dodi Hogwarts legacy has like 100+ threads on reddit with fixes) where Linux just isn’t popular enough yet to have a big community find fixes for your cracked games for you already and the fixes from windows often don’t work.

First try browsers, steam games, streamimg, and light use while dual booting, you can still keep windows for the games that don’t work on Linux.

It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Just take it one step at a time. You are trying to reduce tracking. That is going to be 90% internet browsing, so if you already switch to Linux for that, you are much of the way there.

Palantir

They have unique digital fingerprints for everyone already pretty much, but they are not linked to official government IDs so there is still uncertainty I think over identification.

This makes everyone’s digital fingerprint linked on a government ID. Voila, now every person in America is known by Palantir and the government at all times (more or less). Great for genocide and targeting your political opponents and voters to set up sham elections.

It also tries to stop poors who don’t have drivers licenses in America from organizing as they can’t verify.

Now with Flock surveiling most of the US: Jaywalking or littering and a Democrat or worse, leftist? You are a criminal and intelligible to vote. Incoming trump 75+% win for an illegal 3rd term or Vance.

Thiel famously said “what if there was a way, through technology, to achieve your political goals without having to beg and plead to convince people who will never agree with you anyway”

Convenient that Israel has bought up a huge portion of VPNs just recently and has one of the largest spying and influence networks in the world.

It is always great to warn people against bad European companies too. We have plenty of people and companies who are as bad or worse than in the US.

Nestle is objectively one of if not the worst companies in the world apparently devoted to almost exclusively doing evil. Spotify is also terrible, Unilever had done some bad shit apparently, our many of our auto companies are also not good, etc… Many of our companies would literally kill to get American labor laws here and have spent billions Union busting and lobbying/bribing against workers.

Yeah, I am no fan of proton and they have lied before (no log VPN logs magically finding logs for authorities and then later removing the no-log claim).

But this is literally just proton being legally compelled to hand over data the user willingly gave (not being harvested or de-encrypted). A nothing story.

Which is still all due to investors not looking longer than 2 years since all of the crashing companies except Northvolt are startups. Lithium prices will always rise again at a much much higher rate than sodium.

Sodium was always better for grid storage due to temperature charging and discharging and still plenty cheaper than Lithium Iron Phosphate that it is a replacement for.

Yeah no email provider providers everything that you need I have found 😅

I believe the other sync options like decsync are made for syncing without a server per se.

Tasks.org is great.

It can be synced via Davx5, caldav, etesync, decsync. Also via Microsoft to-do and google if you want to try it out without having to re-input everything before you commit.

Edit: sorry, didn’t see the web client thing. It doesn’t have that. However, you can sync to a computer email client like Thunderbird or evolution and use it there.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

If you have a google account because it contains email history but it sits dormant, logged out, not using google products for years, then it isn’t supporting them with data.

They won’t delete your data anyway or your fingerprint link or tracking data if you delete your account, might as well also have access to it if needed.
