My thoughts exactly. There are a lot of things that look like a newspaper but are just very long editorials. On the other end we still have a few kinda reputable sources that actually do some journalism work (debunking, actually investigating on site, arguing …).
Journalism and all forms of counter power look super weak in my county but mixing everything up just makes the important work even weaker.
I don’t think France tried to break E2E yet? Some political groups repeatedly submit law projects through the democratic process, but as long as it doesn’t pass I think the best we can say is that France is against.
no reason to believe it violates “democratic values”
In my country the law is one of the pillars of democracy, but you do you 👍
And I think “vibe” means that they have no experience with programming so they can’t read the code they copy.
At least it was Americans talking on an american platform. I wouldn’t be surprised if we had french Europeans leaders having occasionally this kind of discussions on Microsoft Teams or some Google chat.
On Signal you can verify user identify, and you should absolutely do it if were to discuss national security maters.
This is not a hidden feature, I think it’s designed to prevent man in the middle attack. It also work against the “oops I accidentally added a journalist to my conversation no one should know of”, which is so dumb that no one saw this coming 😅
If you were to discuss national security maters with someone, please just verify your safety numbers, IRL or through another safe and verified channel 🙄
Can we stop benchmarking text generation models on things they’re not designed to do and start educating people on what they actually can do?
Oh no we can’t, there’s already hundreds of commercial services…
He would have to eat part of a battery. It was, he figured, maybe the only way to solve his problem.
I thought this was metaphorical 🤦 My idiocratie radars are all saturating since the middle of the article.
I’d say arch is a great distro if you love to tinker a lot and/or want to learn a lot about the Linux ecosystem. If you don’t recognize yourself in previous sentence I’d probably stick with fedora 🤷
I briefly used Fedora (Gnome) on my SP7 which worked super well. Then I moved to NixOS because I’m a nerd 🤓
Man, we’re not even 3 months in (6%) and everyone starts preparing for world war 3. Americans needs to step up now.
Well, the comment that showed bust above yours shows an article from NYT doing exactly that 😮💨

I moved to NixOS this year and it really felt like something new. You need to learn a little functional language for configuration (nix) and can manage your whole computer on a descriptive and reproducible way.
There is also an awesome side effect : packages (and OS configurations) are built the same way as you build your configuration. For me, it meant that it was the first time it was obvious how my distribution works and how I could contribute. It took me about one hour to submit my first ever PR to update a package : https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/290710
Also note that you can experience nix (the package manager) on any distro, if you want a safe try you could for example have fun with home-manager to handle your dotfiles.
A bit out of context my you recall me of some thinking I heard recently about lying vs. bullshitting.
Lying, as you said, requires quite a lot of energy : you need an idea of what the truth is and you engage yourself in a long-term struggle to maintain your lie and keep it coherent as the world goes on.
Bullshit on the other hand is much more accessible : you just have to say things and never look back on them. It’s very easy to pile a ton of them and it’s much harder to attack you about any of them because they’re much less consequent.
So in that view, a bullshitter doesn’t give any shit about the truth, while a liar is a bit more “noble”. 0
You don’t need any knowledge of computers to understand how big of a deal it would be if we actually built a reliable fact machine. For me the only possible explanation is to not care enough to try and think about it for a second.
According to Wikipedia pages 14, 18, 1488, 8814 are also common Nazi’s symbols. I personally feel the birthday explanation more likely as I see a lot of people doing that (without the nerdy base 2).
But yeah, I’m not sure of anything now, if you told me a few years ago that dozens of billionaires would go full on highlander on 2025 I wouldn’t have believed you…
I have a channel on my team’s Slack were I just vent off on these kind of situations 😬
#windows-is-the-best, inspired from #gitlab-is-the-best, the chan were everyone vents off when the CI refuses to pick up workers 😅
I’ve been willingly enabling data collection features for Mozilla but I guess that time is revolute, they don’t feel trustworthy anymore.
😮💨
AI assistant tools probably won’t push us on the right direction for this one. (Or maybe they will by encouraging people not to import a different library for any 6-lines function they need?)
