I was a long time (relative to AI age) Cursor fan but have since abandoned it for Claude Code. Working on mostly php/laravel/js/vue stack the difference in the quality of models is insane. No other model can really compete wi

All of this would be easier if we just called Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and all the others by a more correct name: “Sales-acceleration platforms” and it's mode of operation is "inducing emotional instability in consumers".

I remember watching old American educational videos for teens from something like the 50s (on YT). They talk A LOT about how to be likable and how much work one has to put into being accepted and included. The tone is very much "if you

Yeah, the hardest part is understanding the requirements. But it then still takes hours and hours and hours to actually build the damn thing. Except that now it still takes me the same time to understand the requirements ... and then the co

Why would it be unethical? This obsession with "everything must be commercialized" is really killing creativity. Now if the author was commercializing other peoples reviews, sure, it's potentially(!) unethical. But scraping

In countries that have it. In Slovenia we have no such legal entity and so starting a business requires, at the very least, ~400€/month for a single proprietorship (unless you are already employed elsewhere already, then it's <

Ask a teenager what a folder is. There's a good chance they'll not know what you are talking about. They can use apps and that's about it. Thunderbird? Good luck with that.

Didn't we go through this before with PGP-encrypted emails? 90+% of users are not technically competent enough to even understand, in the vaguest of terms, what you are saying. Even fewer have the time, ability and resources to do so.

"Open standards & open source" is such a blast from the past. Namely 2010s Pirate Parties.

Slovenia is similar, but with even more intervention in the form of public grants. We also have no tax breaks for individuals who may wish to support the arts/humanitarian/ngo endeavors. It's all “systemic”. Which is "fi

We did something similar with eglasovanje.si (currently only in Slovenian). Our idea is that secret online elections do not need a technological solution, but a procedural one. We wrote a whole bunch on the topic here (again, use automatic

The solution to "multiple crisis which only seem to get worse" is to go on the offensive, and lobby for laws that answer those questions in the way we like. Changing an established law is much different than adding a new one.

Quite a few parties suffered from either takeovers and the "crazy people magnet". Everyone with fringe views on ... anything ... decided that the Pirates were the place to be. Which, fine happens, the problem we had was, that the

It's worse than that. Czech pirate party also lost most of their members. The other member states also failed to gain any new ones. As someone who ran a national party for a while, it feels like an end of an era. The generation that st

So, I get your point. I can see how (1) can be aggravating. Can't really say anything to defend it, that's the Brussels effect for you. From the point of view of your own sovereignty, it's a bad thing, period. From the point

The actual outcome is, from my experience, that tracking has reduced, a lot. When this law was enacted, *we all removed "like on Facebook"* buttons. Remember those? Yeah, we don't see them anymore. Google Analytics also was f

You realise that lobbying is literally sitting down for a cup of coffee with "a friend", right? It's a whole different world of probal that would require an authoritarian state with an absolute control over people's live

Lobbying is a core pillar of democracy. Yeah, I know, I dont like it either. But that's reality and no amount of prohibition will stop humans from being human. The solution is clear: everyone needs to lobby for their interests and the

Does it, by any chance, have any kind of an api a bash script could use? For work flows like: "open browser, then open saved session X"?
