> Many humans and animals are pretty dumb, yet they are sentient. AI is intelligent, but non-sentient (hopefully!).

Are you claiming that GPT6 is smarter than my dog? Last I checked, at least my dog can play with a ball, I haven't seen any AI playing and enjoying itself.

> Just last weekend I used it to do PDF editing which previously would have required me to download really shady software online to do.

Agreed on the shady software (or shitty online website that asks you for a payment after you're done editing), however, wouldn't the best PDF edition approaches involve WYSIWYG style edition? I'm guessing you didn't get that with Pi.

You stand corrected, and I stand corrected too because I just watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbt3jL1Ms0w (as suggested by other user in another comment) and it finally clicked.

You seem to not have understood my previous message at all.

You said I'm anti-crypto, then I linked you to a msg I wrote in the past advocating for L402 (which is a Lightning-based protocol).

I was just telling you that you're wrong. I'm a big believer that Lightning is the only way to solve micropayments.

Now get your conspiracy theories somewhere else please.

Oh look, an anti-crypto guy that advocates for L402 support!!: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48281948

Beeeep, wrong. Next question.

And how do you exactly envision enforcement? Ohhhh, you copied some bits, you going to jail!!

> no lighting payments

Nah, you didn't understand it. Lightning is a layer-2 protocol on top of bitcoin. Nostr is the so-called layer-3. Good luck trying to build Nostr without Lightning.

siwatanejo — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 03:32:22 +0000

For me the reason why this is a big deal is because, before there was any Motorola upcoming Graphene-compatible model, most people that might be installing Graphene would not trust Google with their phone software, to then go ahead and install Graphene in Google's hardware! A bit of a contradiction there.

They never had a bitcoin payment rail, and the "crypto" one only accept(ed) USDC because Stripe accepts USDC.

So, are you saying that skills are not such a good tool for agents to learn, they still need tool-trial-and-error dance after injecting them? (I'm assuming each tool comes with its own skill.)

Why people keep saying that I'm advocating for AI use? I'm not happy with the decision of Ladybird maintainers, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to spam them with AI slop.

I know, but opensource was not just about freedoms, it was about community.

New comment by siwatanejo in "Changing how we develop Ladybird"

siwatanejo — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 09:45:04 +0000

But opensource has always been about community. This way it becomes "source-open", even if you could make changes to it and run those changes yourself, the latter doesn't sound "opensourcy" to me.

siwatanejo — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 09:41:17 +0000

Exactly! It's not opensource anymore: it's fork-or-transparent source.
