great, let’s do it with politicians

yeah, the 5 most popular models in open router are chinese; and in volume of tokens, 80% of the top 10 are from chinese ones

same, I used it for a few months, but I realized I was just saving a few dimes on every purchase, so it was barely worth the hassle. Instead I just rotate brands and dollar cost average fuel (i.e. spend the same $ amount every time instead of filling it up).

never heard of it before, that’d be so good to have worldwide

I’m on a linux desktop, so no

working for me without logging in

those samples sounded better than these ones from 2023 to me, but can we even know that apple is or isn’t using AI for new versions of say?

GitHub is good enough to people keep using it. With the exception of the AI-induced downtimes last month, other platforms have as many problems as GH does, but GH gets the bad rep because it’s the one everyone uses and has an opinion about.

Despite old problems that still annoy me, they actually have an impressive and unmatched set of features too, so one can’t move away without some compromise. For the most part, you might find Forgejo/Codeberg and others to meet your needs, but it’s going to take a long time to match GitHub’s maturity in some things like code search.

I know, but the main use i have for github is collaboration, and I don’t want to expose a forgejo instance I’m hosting myself.

I don’t move mine because of the hard limits at 100 repos and 100 MB of private storage. I wouldn’t mind paying to have more, but that’s not an option.

edit: it seems one can request limit increases, but I have no idea what’s their approval criteria.

I wish I had half as much trust with someone as anthropic has with that company to let them casually rack up 500M in use.

Jesus, there’s so much FUD in that gist. A lot of information out of date and emotional tone to the brim. Makes you wonder who’s putting that much time and effort to support an outdated system like x11 and what they gain from that.

The reality is that the main desktop managers, and by extension the most popular distros are abandoning x11, so that’s just a silly hill to die on.

I’ve been using cookie autodelete to clean crap from most sites, but whitelisting the ones I don’t want to log back in every time

another advantage is that cookies are cleaned seconds after the last tab on that website is closed

so she wants to be forgotten?

I did it that last month, not because I have any expectations of privacy (I wish we could move away from emails entirely), but because I don’t want to be so much at the mercy of what google decides, especially with their recent push on id verification left and right, and ties to this dystopian government. I’m gradually moving away from other of their products too.

If I was browsing options today, I’d also look into calendar and contact management / importing. Proton makes it easy to import existing calendars and they are kept in sync. They’re still improving the calendar features though, so maybe you’ll miss a thing or two there. Contacts are also easy to import, but there’s no feature to keep them in sync with what google has, if you need a transition period. There is a merging/deduplication feature though.

And if you’re using google workspaces, I couldn’t figure out how to send an email from proton using the work domain, so that’s something I still need to use the gmail web client or e.g. thunderbird.

6.6.6 is mentioned

dont tell me what to do

Right. But that was from a time where it was your friends and family who had your number, so having to change it was a major hassle not only for you. With it being asked by so many services, that’s eventually ending up in the dark web.

Many people don’t call anymore. A similar group blocks all calls from unknown numbers due to constant robocalls. So a phone number today is just another data point to fingerprint someone. Its usefulness turned into an artificially created need by services that want a cheap way to tell real users from robots.

yeah, phone numbers have been used primarily to fight spam and fake accounts, so my guess is that this practice will become even more common with stricter policies around phone number registration. I hate it.

This basically turns phone numbers into a deregulated government ID number. You’d think they had learned something with SSNs by now.
