Your average “rich” American (millionaires) are likely no better equipped than the average person when it comes online tracking and fingerprinting. The ultra-wealthy (billionaires) own the platforms carrying out such tracking. If you’re talking about tracking by governmental groups, I don’t think anyone is exempt.

Dating and hookup apps are designed to be checked as frequently as possible, so that users can be shown advertisements or sold memberships. A great way to accomplish this is to play on people’s insecurities. Do yourself a favor and leave the house every once in a while

It depends on what you’re studying. Some majors like accounting might require you to use Excel, for example. On the other hand, when I was getting my BS+MS in computer engineering, running Linux was actually advantageous

Timshift is to Linux what Time Machine is to Macs. It’s a snapshot tool that lets you roll back a certain file or your entire filesystem to an earlier state

Biiiiiig shoutout to the Epson Ecotank. Tank-based printers are the only acceptable consumer printers

I’ve never heard of a “repair cafe” before. Would love to visit one of those!

That’s a bomb headline 😂

Have our attention spans deteriorated so much that something like this is actually profitable???

The image-to-text model is impressive. I could see it being useful for smart search of your library, allowing users to find photos with a high-level description.

I’m not sure why it’s being reported on as though the technology is a privacy or security threat, though. If you’ve given a storage provider access to your photos anyway, using a vision model isn’t going to give them anything extra.

That said, I do love self-hosted photo solutions like Immich and Ente. Hope they continue to grow.

macOS, ChromeOS, SteamOS, AWS, Samsung Tizen, literally any embedded device, …

Whether the new Apple Intelligence features are useful depends on who you ask. But I do greatly appreciate that inference is performed on-device. I think that’s a step in the right direction.

No thank you

Human-generated slop has been flooding Medium since forever

Thou shalt not browse The Internet

I’ve been using Zen Browser on macOS and Linux for a few months now. It’s a great browser experience, and I hope it gains traction. One thing it currently lacks that I’d like to see is a tab group feature like Chrome.

Nope. Snowflake has been around for a while. I’ve been running my node for at least a year now
