What you should have done was claiming you already know what the best RSS news feed is. Then people will come in here and correct you :D

My guess my point is that it's not foolproof, and this is known. You can get unlucky and even if it's based on a side channel, and not Tor itself, it can still get serious if you though you were 100% safe.

I think you overestimates the protection Tor provides. We have seen multiple cases of people getting caught on there, and CIA probably owns half the exit nodes anyways.

Having nice and Windows in the same sentence is just unnatural.

I would suspect that the brown potting stuff, among other things, conducts heat away from the components.

These snake oil salesmen have been ruining every space we love for a while now. That is hardly news.

No, everyone is not using AI for everything - yet.

I donno. They all look ugly.

When making small tools for myself, I just tell it to use Svelte and then wrap it up using Tauri - no graphical cues whatsoever. And they usually comes out pretty good by my taste.

This is funny! Not only is it a nod to Terry Bisson, but it even gives his text a new dimension. Well done :)

I will argue that it is not that intelligent either. For the sake of argument, let's say intelligence is about brain processing power and intellect is about how much information you have retained. Then what they have created is more like Artificial Intellect than Artificial Intelligence :)

Professors can be an absolute moron and someone who haven't read a book in their life, can be a total genius. People often miss that.

I think the site has been hosted by the police since them. They probably use it as a honeypot or something - except the site is so poorly managed that no one really comes :D

I will argue that we are going forward - for better or for worse. In my humble opinion, taking into account the sad state of the world today, any change is welcomed.
