Yeah I wonder if it could get darknets from the dark nasty garbage dumps they are now into a more mainstream privacy-conscious network. Basically, what they were always meant to be but only the really dark people used it and scared everyone else off.
The same crap is happening in the EU too. It’s everywhere.
The “for the children” boomers get their wish. The rest of us lose our privacy. And the kids? Well they’ll just get their smut from torrents. Those sites don’t obey the law because if they did they wouldn’t have existed in the first place. Nothing will actually change there.
And really, who hasn’t viewed tons of porn when they were young? And turned out totally fine?
Hopefully it will remain the “Trump era” and not the “first Trump era”. This is my main worry right now.
This is why sideloading addons is so important. They’ve recently removed the bypass-paywalls-clean addon too.
On the desktop version you can easily sideload addons but on the mobile version they forbid this :(
Meh in Holland we are in NATO and they send Tu-53 bear bombers into our airspace every few months. They are escorted by fighters until they leave. I think they do the same with neighbouring countries like Denmark. It hardly even makes the news anymore, it’s so common.
Bloomberg - Are you a robot?
Lol 😆 No i’m not a robot 🤖
The question is always: What do you want to use it for?
When raspberry started the landscape was very difficult. Small computer boards were expensive, now there’s the N100 if you need a tiny cheap computer. Microcontrollers were really dumb and unconnected, now there’s the ESP32 which has WiFi and Bluetooth and decent performance. Right in the middle of this wide spectrum is the raspberry pi and its clones.
This is a very different situation than in the introduction era where PCs were heavy and expensive and microcontrollers were dumb. There was a much wider niche for the raspberry then. For a small server I would now get a $100 N100 from aliexpress. For embedded electronics I would grab a $10 ESP32. Only in the middle is the raspberry pi, but the problem is, it’s only in the middle in terms of performance, not price. A raspberry pi with case, PSU, storage etc costs more than a decked out N100, while actually being slower.
The only remaining usecase I see for a pi 5 would be an electronics project where you need some more compute than a microcontroller can provide, like some machine vision project. Otherwise:
Yes I was just writing that, I would love to see more integrations that can talk against ollama.
One thing I’d love to see in Firefox is a way to offload the translation engine to my local ollama server. This way I can get much better translations but still have everything private.
If you had a visual disability you would certainly think otherwise.
Or maybe Affinity Designer? I bought that a few years ago for Mac and it was really good.
I don’t think it will.
Microsoft’s endgame is being the lord and master of AI. AI thrives on knowing more data about the user. What good is an assistant if it doesn’t know your habits, your wishes and desires, your schedule and your attitude towards each person in your life?
This is not really a feature primarily aimed at helping the user directly (even though it’s currently marketed as such), but to have the AI build up a repository of knowledge about you. Which is hopefully used locally only. For now this seems to be the case, but knowing Microsoft, once they have established themselves as the leading product they will start monetising it in every way possible.
Of course I’m very unhappy with this too. I’d like to have an AI assistant. But it has to be FOSS, and owned and operated by me. I don’t trust microsoft in any way. I’m already playing around with ollama, RAG scripting etc. It won’t be as good as simply signing up to OpenAI, Google or Microsoft but at least it will be mine.
Oh it works great for me. In fact a lot better than the Rift did with its dedicated trackers.
It’s also handy to just pop it on and not have to set it up. I often bring it to the office and I’ve given a demo for friends, it’s much harder with lighthouses.
And the cost of them is just insane. If they were 100 bucks for a couple it’s fine.
Yeah that pattern is called “Pentile” or RGBG. Very annoying indeed on screens where you look right up to the pixels. And it reduces the number of subpixels by 1/3 so the resolution really suffers.
The PSVR1 had a real RGB panel but sadly the PSVR2 moved to pentile.
Yep this is one of the reasons I kept deleting my account even before the whole spez drama.
Too bad they don’t do OpenPGP like Yubikeys do. I still need that even more (much more!) than Fido2. Sites are so slow adopting Fido2.
I don’t use it for email but I use it for SSH and my password manager (“pass”). And yes I know SSH can use Fido2 natively as well but there’s many embedded SSH daemons that don’t support that yet.
Luckily Yubico is still around but I’m betting on them going down the drain (subscription models etc) soon because they were taken over by a venture capital firm :(
I didn’t think it was super creepy but I thought the voice was so overly enthusiastic and overacted and soooo sugary. bleh.
This won’t work for me unless that can be customised and toned down a lot.
The audio from the AI also seemed to cut out a lot during the demo. So it does appear like no shenanigans to me.
It depends on your prompt/context size too. The more you have the more memory you need. Try to check the memory usage of your GPU with GPU-Z with different models and scenarios.
I’m proud that Spain is taking a stand here. I also love the way they push back on the US with their defence spending thing (which is only for the benefit of their military industrial complex). They also cancelled F-35 orders in response to Trump’s tariffs.
It’s a stark contrast to the Netherlands that let an already-fallen government collapse again just so they didn’t have to say anything untoward to Israel. Such stringpuppets.
