People say this all the time, but it's not really the case.
I don't think privacy is a binary thing that one either has or does not - there are degrees of privacy. Currently what we have is mostly private, requiring either technical skill or admin access to circumvent. This is a pretty high bar which 99% of people would not be able to reach. You're proposing removing the bar entirely because it is not high enough.
I coded an Alexa Skill once. It was tedious and a garbage platform. After a while it was delisted for spurious reasons, even worse DX than Google and Apple app stores. Complete dumpster fire from start to finish.
All obsolete now that LLMs are here. I don't think any devs will miss it.
When they look different people interpret them differently.
Windows 2000 was the peak - rock solid with no visual fluff. XP was 2000 with a childish skin on it and it's all downhill from there.
When I started working on PieFed I was all enthusiastic about the idea of moderation tools. But when it came time to actually code that functionality it was like pulling teeth. Just. Sooo. Boring. It took weeks longer than it should have, for that reason. This was really surprising to me because I'm deeply passionate about moderation and 'gardening' a community.
That's the thing about open source, people just do the fun stuff. There's always some fun stuff to do which distracts from the boring-but-necessary.
time being purely a consequence of entanglement. It states that the only reason that an object appears to change over time is because it is entangled with a clock.
Wtf. Which clock is this?
Yeah although if Russia wins it'd involve "unstable geopolitics" too.
This could be a long war.

They NEED to demonstrate their hypocrisy in order to signal to their supporters that the nasty shit they promise to do to The Other (immigrants, gays, whatever) won't be done to their supporters.
It's too early to say, as the method of accounting for 'active user' changed recently.
Seems to me like Lemmy is "consolidating". Some people are leaving but the community is deepening in norms, understanding, commitment and cohesion. This shows up as better content and discussions all the time. Spam is snuffed out quickly, more communities have better moderators. Our infrastructure is maturing and the software is getting better.
This might just be for government computers, not the entire country - see https://www.ft.com/content/7bf0f79b-dea7-49fa-8253-f678d5acd64a
Still, the overall direction and intent is clear.
Just because Tesla made a lot of bad choices, that doesn't mean all EVs for all time will always be more expensive.
Same and went to the killing field outside the city later on. The driver cried when talking about the family members he lost. Most harrowing day of my life, totally redefined the lower limit of "how badly things can go wrong".
