At the time of the Internet bubble, there were people pushing for more "free" usage of the Internet, and those that couldn't care less.

And it's not like the companies didn't want to take advantage of the Internet, but there was a mismatch between what the companies and the employees had in mind, which mostly boils down

* Employees want to use it to do their jobs and make their life easier

* Companies want to improve productivity, spend less and make more money.

There is some overlap of course, but the problem is where the two clashes.

I don't think today it is too much different. I see plenty of people using AI for what they care about, they complain when they are asked to use it for things they fear will make their life worse (like programmers that think they will have to pick up the pieces of vibe coding later on).

> As a group, teenagers and young adults hate AI

I wonder what is their definition of AI. I haven't seen a single young person saying "I don't use chatgpt (or the like) because I hate AI". If else plenty of student have become dependent on it.

> a pro-Palestinian march marking “Nakba Day,” happening in London on the same day with an estimated 30,000 attendees, will not face the same biometric surveillance.

Any ordering is an algorithm technically, so yes just "banning algorithm" doesn't work.

A better alternative could be "the algorithm must be public and reproducible by the user".

"Sort the posts of the people I follow in chronological order" you're good

"Sort the posts by the output of a blackbox trained on user data" too bad you're a publisher and are responsible for what people post.

You may want to check the obsession that people on the left have with the Palestinian flag. Any situation is good to show it off even when it has nothing to do with Palestine.

Borg backup is a good tool in my opinion and has everything that I need (deduplication, compression, mountable snapshot.

Hetzner Storage Box is nothing fancy but good enough for a backup and is sensibly cheaper for the alternatives (I pay about 10 eur/month for 5TB of storage)

Before that I was using s3cmd [3] to backup on a S3 bucket.

If I am going to donate money to a company/NGO that wants to buy food for poor people, of course I am interested in knowing how much of that money is going to salaries, how much into activities of sort, and how much in actually feeding people.

Very easy implementation as it essentially it just forwards the data to the printer. Since it's a raw interface you need the proper driver, but luckily Epson provides a Windows 10 driver for the Epson MX-80 (!) [1] CUPS doesn't have driver for the MX-80 but it has a number of generic Epson drivers and my guess is that one of those will work.

The most difficult part is probably the parallel interface (unless you have a printer with a serial interface in which case it will be much easier)

I wish I could run DiscoBSD/RetroBSD [2] on an ESP32, I like the idea of running on a MCU something that was originally meant for a PDP/11 (2.11 BSD)

That assume that you where going to install the OS, which assumes that you had an hard drive :-). The original IBM PC didn't, and anyway MS-DOS didn't support folders until version 2.0.

On those old PCs you would boot your computer on a floppy drive with all the files on the root of a floppy, and execute your command there. There was not much to work with anyway, check the content of the boot floppy of MSDOS 1.0 [1].

And also, especially if you had a single floppy, you wouldn't even use it: to run your software you would boot a disk with a IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, COMMAND.COM and an AUTOEXEC.BAT that would start your favorite word processor (WordStar of course :-D ).

I appreciate your approach, but I wonder: would you hire somebody with a past in Meta, or ByteDance (to just name two)? They are at least as bad in pushing addiction to people, maybe worse if you think about the scale.

Initial load, after closing cookie banner and another one, was about 500KiB (200KiB transferred). After scrolling to the bottom I got 1.7MiB/1.0MiB transferred.

I guess you're using a retina-like display ? (I got there results with a 1080p screen)

The small_model option configures a separate model for lightweight tasks like title generation. By default, OpenCode tries to use a cheaper model if one is available from your provider, otherwise it falls back to your main model.

I would expect that if you set a local model it would just use the same model. Or if for example you set GPT as main model, it would use something else from OpenAI. I see no mentions of Grok as default

This is true for humans too. Tests should not be written or performed by the same person that writes the code

[] The authors of Pacman probably didn't even think you would be able to reach level 256 and overflow the variable. That's how you get to a kill screen that corrupts memory.
