XMPP, Conversations is a Nice Android client.

We don’t need another centralized messaging service in the EU. We need a secure and decentralized one. Such protocol already exist such as XMPP, Matrix, Briar, Ricocher, RCS, …

Yes, this is fucked.

I doubt a sane society would aim to replace as many jobs as possible with automation, or necessarily be happy with it. Making this a goal mean trying to remove humans and unions out of the equations.

A sane society may seek to decrease workplace injuries and be more efficient, ie wasting less resources while producing stuff. That could involve better workplace conditions, better product design, and maybe automation. Automation may incidentally replace some tasks, even though it’s not the end goal.

It’s outdated information rather than false information. It was true at the time the article was written.

It deserve to be updated with a notice, maybe not taken down.

Literally who is their target market at this point.

Ask an AI ton list static analysis tools, chose one of those, and never use AI again.

We plan to be a wildly successful company, but if we get it wrong, that’s on us.

That’s incorrect. If OpenAI get this wrong, they won’t (be able to) make investor whole. People would loose part of their savings if they’re exposed to OpenAI through direct or indirect investments.

Of course cooking is preferable, but it’s not possible everyday for everyone. Everyone’s situation is different.

There’s no delivery nor app fee. It encourage walking and support nearby restaurants.

Another day, another I-can’t-believe-the-USA-elected-this-moron news story.

He’s so unstable and chaotic I wonder if it’s even possible to engage in diplomacy with the USA. I assume most diplomats’ strategy is to have endless talks to delay, win some time until orange mussolini is out of office and no longer relevant.

I need a new random looking password. Could you generate one for me please?

The first and only thing I ask when a company does this is: how can I ask a question to a human representative?

Pull the plug on datacenters that depend on polluting energy sources.

It doesn’t end on the last installation screen. Then it takes lots of time and digging to scrub bloatware, and to change many settings to make Windows less invasive since the defaults are bad.

The original presentation is german speaking. There’s human-produced english translation in a separate audio channel, thanks to volunteers aka angels.

Use the video settings, ie gear icon, to select the language.

Right below this headline on the Irish Times website, there are links to share on Facebook, X, Whatsapp, all owned by US companies.

There’s a long way to go toward digital independance. There should be buttons to share via Mastodon, Email, … shown before those US walled gardens.
