So we're all going to accept mass survaliance for everybody who is >=16 in order to "protect" those who are under 16. Yet parents wont get any notices if their child bypasses the id check.

So you're telling me that the business logic or some domain knowledge about my company is in the LLM and that I sould not ask my manager questions?

2026 is the year of the linux phone. We need to embrace that the year of the linux desktop (2025) was successful.

While LLM are extremely cool, I can't see how this gets on the front page? Anyone who interacted with llms for at least a hour, could've figured out to say somethin like "be less verbose" and it would? There are so many cool projects and adeas and a .md file gets the spotlight.

No we can't. Beacuse at anytime people like Elon Musk can come in and mess everything up. If all of your data is in someones server you are one ban away from becoming noone. Of course that is still true with atproto since majority of users are on bluesky PDS's. But the whole tech is being designed in such a way to prevent such issues while still looking and acting qs traditional social media.

I get these arguments and I see the appeal. But should this be the primary reason to use them, this way the web is being massively centralized. Everything running through them doesn't seem that smart to me.

But of course I understand that for most users this isn't really a concern and the benefits that cf provides are much more important rather then the centralization problem.

I just wanted to ask the same thing. I have a really basic idea of how everything is connected but would love to jump in more in depth.

How can such big incidents occur where half of the internet is down because of one company and what can be done to prevent that?

What's the best resource to keep track of all efforts to make open source phone OSes?

I'm looking for a new phone and it's tough with the current state of things.

Also about contacting your government, what's the best approach? I'm in EU.

The thing that bothers me the most is government apps. How can a government require me to use a certain os or browser to use something.

What are someways that we can be active about this and have support for these apps everywhere. I'm in Europe . For banking apps, sure ok, I can still go tho the bank but what if that becomes unavailable for me to do. Our countries can't build software based on evil companies like Google.
