  • 'Microslop' is heading for Edge – major browser redesign is inspired by Copilot, and it's already seriously unpopular

  • Do you think that everyone have a "mask" that they use to show a different "self" to different people and that hides their true self, a truth they don't even show to their closest friends/family?

  • Very interesting read on tatemae and honne, thanks for the link. Always love it when I discover that some culture has a word for a familiar concept/thing

  • Isn't SailfishOS the Linux phone we need?

    Jump

  • Just bought a Jolla C2, as you can see it is in high demand right now https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-community-phone

    First impressions:

    • UI in Sailfish OS is okay. Takes a bit getting used to, but it is clear that they want this to be noob-friendly - you don't get lost in endless settings menus and advanced options, for example. The navigation itself is neat and tidy.
    • A weird UX-decision is to rely on gestures even when there are acres of available real estate on the screen for a simple button. The Clock/timer-app for example.
    • Keet (my main messaging app) works! Messages, file sharing, calls, etc, works as expected. Only thing missing is notifications. Trying to fiddle w microg, but it's a lot of steps.
    • All in all, looking promising so far

    Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?

  • I canceled spotify 2 yrs ago and switched to qobuz, music collection of 1500 songs. Some bought digitally, most ripped from cds. Happy as a clam!

  • my old laptop😅 and a bluetooth keyboard/touchpad. If it is not too noisy and performs well enough, I might make that a dedicated tv device (but then I will have to buy a new laptop lol, I've been drooling on framework for a while).

    Alternatively one of the n150 options, like you say. In which case I can update this post

  • Cool, using this setup now.

    Thinking of ways to make it more friendly for my SO and guests coming to visit or babysit etc, who are not used to linux (gnome). Any tips there?

    Top of mind is auto open browser on startup with fixed tabs for relevant streaming services. But could also be a simple wrapper of some kind, with UI similar to kodi, plex, jellyfin etc - but for accessing content on web.

  • Thanks for the tip! I actually have an old intel celeron running as a server in the basement, so the bare minimum for this is playing media from the network. But, being able to play simple games could also be fun, so have to think about that one for a bit!

  • Never heard of the brand/model, thanks! Will definately consider the latter

  • How do you differentiate ai from any other invention? They all had naysayers.

  • I wouldn't even call it a bug. It's doing exactly as it is trained to do - guess the next word based on training data. If it has no concept of truth/falsehood, how can falsehoods be bugs?

  • Is the AI bubble about to pop? Sam Altman is prepared either way.

  • That's interesting. Better sooner rather than later!

    What will happen to all the datacenters? Crypto?

  • I'm not an economist, but I know that ppl only invest in stocks if they think it will be worth more tomorrow than today.

    As long as people are convinced that this tech will result in AGI someday, they will keep investing.

    And the gameplan for convincing people is not to build not tech that is as useful as possible, as good at fact-checking as possible - but as human-like as possible. The more people anthropormorphize LLMs, the more it seems like it can do stuff it actually can't (reason, understand, empathize, etc).

    OpenAI, Anthropic and others exploit this to the fullest. And I think breaking that spell is key.

  • Oh absolutely. I like the qualitative way they interact with their users. Instead of lots of static pages with lists of issues to vote on, roadmaps, FAQs and that kind of thing, feedback and updates all happen in the chats, interacting with the actual developers. When I make requests or report bugs, ppl chime in and those things actually get addressed, and sometimes fixed really fast. Feels like a digital village!

  • yea🤘 the tech is really fascinating. Like yea, the p2p-approach introduces some new challenges, but it solves so many existing ones:

    For example costs. The more popular an app gets, the more traffic it gets, the more it costs to run it. I've heard telegram spends hundreds of millions of dollars on servers, with hundreds of developers.

    P2P is the complete opposite. Keet is made by a small team, and the more people use it, the better it runs (because more peers can relay data). It can scale with no such restrictions.

    someone should do the math of what would be the environmental impact if all communication went p2p instead of datacentres.
