Maybe Anthropic somehow attracted more politically conscious people compared to OpenAI, and it shows in the training?

I was saw so annoyed when they started showing shitty video games ads on the frontpage I stopped my subscription.

Here’s a list I had compiled of non Google/Apple alternatives.

• Murena (France) with /e/OS (France) on:
  • Fairphone (Netherlands)
  • Hiroh (USA)
  • SHIFTphone (Germany)
  • Teracube (USA)
• Punkt MC03 (Switzerland)
• Volla (Germany) with Volla OS or Ubuntu Touch (Germany)
• Jolla (Finland) with Sailfish OS (Finland)
• Furilabs (China) with FuriOS (pronounced “furious”) based on Debian with Phosh UI.
• Purism Librem (USA, manufactured in the USA)
• Pine64 (China) Pinephone with Manjaro (Germany), postmarketOS (?) or Mobian (USA)

As far as I understood, those noises would come from gas or diesel electricity generators and cooling systems.

Is this actually happening? I would think most tech leaders are not stupid enough to let the most capable reviewers of AI slop get fired first. I think in most case it will translate to a reduction of hiring rather than firing anyone skilled enough to correct AI output.

It’s also due to the impossibility of estimating non-trivial tasks in engineering. You are asked to estimate the time it will take to solve problems that you have not yet discovered.

As someone who just hosts a few small markdown websites on GitHub Pages, that sounds intimidating.

Hi, I’m the brave soul reading it for you.

Currently, the Dutch government’s code is spread across GitHub and GitLab, neither of which is under government oversight.

GitHub got ruled out first because it’s proprietary software, which directly conflicts with the government’s own policy of preferring open source when options are equally suitable.

GitLab made it further in the evaluation but didn’t survive it either. The issue was its open-core model, where the Community Edition is genuinely free software but the Enterprise Edition is not.

Forgejo came out on top due to its fully free and open source nature. Licensed under GPLv3+ and governed by Codeberg e.V., a democratic nonprofit, it has no enterprise tier, proprietary upsell, or vendor lock-in problems.

2027, year of Linux car, or bicycle.

Let’s hope my predictions are wrong then. Are you betting on it?

Just reminding people Kobo is not just that nice little Canadian tech company anymore, it’s part of tech giant. So don’t fall for the David and Goliath narrative that is implied here. It’s rather third-rate Goliath and Goliath. So take your precautions where you can. I sadly don’t have an alternative to suggest.

I don’t want to ruin good news, but everyone needs to know that Kobo is owned by the shitty Japanese Amazon equivalent called Rakuten since 2012. So the risk of enshitification is pretty high, why not if the hardware is nice, but try to cut as many software ties as possible.

“Today I learned” is probably appropriate considering you probably just learned about this old news and you want to share it.

Edit: am I talking to a bot?

Who finances the Sovereign Tech Agency?

The Sovereign Tech Agency is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation and is a subsidiary of SPRIND, the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation.

They over-consumed the goods from those countries and they lost their minds.

Allons-y!

I think it’s already the case for 1080p at the distance most people put their TV.

Remember the resurgence of jokes about France surrendering? Same background.

Btw, it was not only refusing to let them fly, but primarily refusing to join the war while the UK, Australia, Poland, Spain or Italy did join that time.

So did France, which is the top military in EU. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/europe-pushes-back-us-military-operations-concerns-over-iran-war-mount-2026-03-31/
