https://x.com/LarsAnders1620/status/1885254465160118655, first one that comes up when I view X (not signed in). I don't think this is enough (as OP declared) to authoritatively place him in 'right wing extremist' but probably racist. I don't speak danish, but someone that could would be able to make a more complete judgement because most, if not all posts of his, are in Danish.

I believe the original post is referring to services like https://buymeacoffee.com/ :)

Interesting take, but I don't agree with it personally. Personally, messages like the aforementioned:

Did you like this post, please buy me a coffee?

are completely okay! I don't interpret it as 'begging me for my money'. They are not nagging, and you do not have to buy them a coffee/pizza/metaphorical food item. You can go on with your day. But maybe someone thinks that the post deserves a token of appreciation, and tossing someone one, maybe two euros doesn't hurt. Just like tipping. Good = no tip, exceptional = tip.

I know how much 4€ is, that's about two icecreams, or three beers. Off topic, but is OP finding these? Are certain countries in Europe really this cheap??

First they came for the porn watchers And I did not speak out Because I was not a porn watcher

I'm curious as to why? Regardless of the rest of his output or how you feel about him, this essay seems somewhat interesting (at least to me). There are many examples of where this applies and small teams appear to have an advantage (eg. Posthog).

Well, TIL! Thanks for the info I actually didn't know this

Why is every EV these days an amorphous blob? Even Ferraris are being homogenised. Can't believe Ive designed this. Interior is okay, but not special; the exterior though... It looks like any other of the thousands of blob EVs in the market. It's actually so bad

I don't even think it's a hyperfixation, it's just putting time into a craft (which is also vanishing these days)

The internet is what we make of it. Of course there has to be some realism about it (most services algorithmic by default etc), but I don't think it's enough to declare it's all over. Generally, yes, the internet has become worse, but some corners are growing, the 'small internet' especially-- if only in these small circles. Where you spend your time in really determines how you feel about this matter.

It's to be seen whether any remnants of the "old" internet come back to the mainstream though. I wouldn't know though, wasn't alive then. For anyone that was, what was it like?

Did a double take when I saw it said 'painting'. Incredible.

The computer still computes. But now, for the first time, the computer lives with you.

No, it doesn't, because it's not alive.

Op was referencing a comic [0]

Furthermore, yes, getting to the point where we're no longer starving and in thatched huts did require fossil fuels, but now we know what they do, and that they're actively having an effect on the environment, and clearly us, are we so stuck in our ways we can't change our actions to secure a life for those that come after?

This is certainly a take, but to each their own.

I am not the biggest fan of democracy in general

So fraud is an acceptable vehicle to uproot it?

FT had a solid piece a few weeks back: "Why AI start-up Hugging Face turned down a $500mn Nvidia deal"

Interesting response, good point about the smaller funds also!

However, I sold it all in June 2024 at $25 a share as they started to pull in military contracts (and lots of them). These FDEs were too damn effective. Not a fan of military contracts but I guess thats where the money is. Nevertheless, morals first.

Yeah, I don't know about this. Imo, from as soon as you decide to invest in the stock market, you're signing away your ability to call morals as a rationale for any further decision. Where does the line start and end? Would you sell MSFT because of their involvement in Gaza? Sell a broad market index because a company there is doing something 'immoral'? No matter how you invest, you should automatically assume the company is doing something awful.

My opinion though, to each their own. An interesting article!

It's stable now!

What's your global prompt please? A more firm chatbot would be nice actually

It's glorious. The year has finally come. It's nice to feel excited about tech sometimes, especially when the company isn't completely horrible, and more competition! Great! Microsoft's move really, Sony and Nintendo are doing pretty okay!

W shadow drop.

Yep, we're not! (From a hc'er). Zach announced that slack has gifted us half a decade of enterprise+. Whilst slack's behaviour is worrying, it probably wouldn't make sense to cut all ties. Either way- another 5 years to migrate! :-)

Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/927/

I feel like there's a bit of survivorship bias here. Not saying that vibe coding is completely useless, but you still have to review the code it produces in order to make the most of it really. It isn't completely autonomous (yet) to the point where it can scale to any of the examples you mentioned imo.

In principle, not at all. But there is no way to do this properly at all. No matter how secure the companies that do this say it is, it's another possible vulnerability.

You can't play whack a mole with the internet. People will always find a way to move smut or whatever on the internet. It takes no time at all to spin up more and more sites, and there's a million ways around them (vpns, etc).

All it does it just push people to more and more fringe sites, when moderation is likely to be lax and the content more extreme. Ideally it wouldn't be viewed at all, but it's just how the internet is.

It also sets a terrible precedent for censorship- in the UK, we've already seen, on Reddit for example, subreddits dedicated to quitting addictions being age gated, and it'll only get worse.

Will do, thanks!

If you're using a Samsung device then you can use Screen Curtain within Samsung's Good Guardians application on the Galaxy Store, which allows you to play media with the screen turned off.

Hm? Completely out of the loop concerning this guy. Explanation please?
