I’m glad they are really putting the screws to unfortunate, harmless people instead of dealing with rampant corruption and hate crimes.

Badly paid employees

I think recent events are giving a lot of motivation for these kinds of initiatives that weren’t a huge concern in the past.

There’s likely going to be a bit of a scramble as we realise we can’t rely on America and their companies anymore.

Yeah, the EU has been building out alternatives to American cloud companies like Microsoft for a while now, and it’s coming in handy for some of them. I think France in particular are working on this and launched their own alternatives to Google Docs etc.

TL;DR:

This bill’s proposed amendment NC21 would out trans people. It was rejected by the MPs, but the House of Lords have effectively appealed this.

However, the article claims that even if this amendment isn’t in there, the bill itself is dangerous, allowing the government to reintroduce these effects even without the amendments, by allowing itself to define how and what data needs to be shared by verification providers.

It would do so at its own discretion, without further legislative scrutiny.

Yeah, but that’s because I choose the second highest plan available to me. Entry cost is lower, and I’d expect most poor families would go for that or the next tier above.

$30 discount on broadband bills

It’s wild that it costs much above $30 at all for you guys. In the UK 100Mbps starts at £22/m (~$30) and I’m comfortably at 500mbps at around £35/m ($45) and we’ve got pretty bad deals compared to other European countries!

Isn’t the whole point of Signal that it’s end-to-end encrypted?

How can it (or rather it’s fork) getting hacked result in messages being exposed?

Nah I think it will just be

const benefits = false;

Do what I did a few months back and switch to Obsidian.

Especially if you write any code. It’s way better for that.

You will need to either

• Pay for their sync at $5/m (hugely overpriced imo)
• Use your own sync solution like Dropbox, Google Drive, Resilio Sync or Syncthing.

I bought it for $90 in 2020.

You beat me to it!

Yeah this is emblematic of modern LLMs like Gemini and ChatGPT. Needlessly verbose, confidently wrong, less capable of actually doing things.

Not for me. I vaguely remember that being a thing, but it’s not with the other features at least.

Thanks bud

4 times once every few years is still way lower than using it every few weeks, once, as it works the first time.

Hmmm I couldn’t really find anything. The only way to guarantee that is to have models that run purely locally, but until very recently that wasn’t feasible.

Smaller AI models that could run on a phone are now doable, but making them useful requires a lot of dev time and only giant data-guzzling companies have tried so far.

That must be it!
