The worst thing about this is a company saying you need to lock yourself on one of the 2 proprietary platform that somehow didn't just wrap the web for apps and use a ridiculously small device you might own, but anyone on an open standard system can go F themselves...

Yeah the only reason I still use YouTube is because μBlock Origin still works great.

Google being shown as unsafe makes me think they have some internal methods for filtering?

Because 2 letters should be reserved for countries and not random endeavors

It's 100% economic corruption and populist/fascists forcing it down everyone's throat through extreme manipulation. yes...

We might always need some for various materials and industrial process, but wasting it on ground transportation is beyond absurd at this point.

Canadians not being able to disable Amber alerts sent at presidential level all the time might also be interested to be able to sleep again...

That's 2 Turing award for the Université de Montréal in 6 years. Sadly, I never had those 2 teachers during my years there!

I did see Gilles' lunch talks though, it was really insightful!

Not sure how on desktop either, I've inspected the value and set it to 25 to no avail :P

edit: ok... somehow my approach didn't work the first time, but got to 18!

I'd be curious to see people give their opinion on embedded models for less tech focused needs, say what's that bug killing spray chemistry like or what is the history of this or that...

I'd also be curious to see if people have started doing censorship analysis of various models, like Qwen differing Tiananmen square to government documments while Llama straights up answers the question.

New comment by RRRA in "GrapheneOS – Break Free from Google and Apple"

RRRA — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 13:51:32 +0000

Until these OS also start putting forward something like WebOS that tried to get phones back to on open web, there is no breaking the binary format and Appstore monopoly.

I wish Europe would have forced that 10 years ago since the US is beyond saving.

Now add a flashing red box with:

/root/.workspace/garbage

(was that it?) and a VJ mode that scrolls around to the beat and you have something for the next party!

New comment by RRRA in "Americans no longer see four-year college degrees as worth the cost"

RRRA — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 16:51:34 +0000

It's insane to me having to contemplate how much more of a simple cog in the machine I would be mentally, intellectually, etc. had I not been exposed to sciences for the sake of knowledge and had only been trained on the job and some day tossed out as not useful anymore...

That would be the definition of alienation for me.

My EV is 3 years old, but I have no hope of being able to swap the battery every, at least not in any reasonable way. That said, it'll be fine for my use case for at least 15 years, so whatever :)
