Hello my lovelies 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

I’m based in the south west of England. 🩵
Not profitable right now with Trump in office.
For most of these megacorps, it was never about the movement, it was the PR and brand loyalty.
Right now, more people are against it than for it, so that’s what’ll bring in the most revenue.
Paint.
Orange to be precise.
When I was a kid, a friend of mine hosted a birthday party on a paintball range. We played for I don’t know how long, large group of us, was really fun.
One thing the instructors told us, keep your mouth shut.
You see, we wore face masks, however for us to breathe of course there’s a grill where you mouth goes.
Needless to say, I got shot right on that mouth grill, and naturally due to the shock of it I opened my mouth…
The paintball burst on the grill, and I had the whole volume of paint launched deep into my throat.
It was so… ungodly… salty. For the rest of the day all I could taste was salt (the blow occured around early afternoon). And that’s coming from someone who also on another unrelated occassion ended up with a deep mouthful of sea water.
One could say, he trumps a lot.
What a muppet.
Honestly? Fair enough.
This does fly directly in the face of Ladybird’s mission, yes, but this sort of thing isn’t limited to just them, and while this is a rather nuclear response, we must remain mindful and grateful for the thousands of hours of time these people have put into this project; building a web browser and engine from scratch is not an easy task and it’s understandable that they don’t want to allow low-quality code and security vulnerabilities in.
To me this demonstrates that they truly care not just about getting this project out the door, but to do so in good faith and with high quality.
The codebase remains open-source, and the engine is still true to it’s goals to decentralise the web.
One day I do hope FOSS as a community finds an answer to low-quality mass-produced PRs written with poorly prompted AI tools, and I do hope when that happens they may reconsider their position.
Until then, I wish them the best and commend their ongoing work and await a release eagerly!
Thneedville ahh lounge.
Better be a tanker of lube behind it istg.
Tony too innocent for this world. 🥀
Where RISC-V sticker? What about macOS? No Intel Arc graphics?
But I wanted to play Bloodborne on macOS with Rosetta for my RISC-V CPU and my Intel B580! >:(
This is what would display if someone vibe-coded a dashboard.
Relatively speaking the globe would revolve around you as you are the center of your perception.
“Everything is so expensive these days.”
Says the person rocking the newest iPhone Pro Max (they literally just use it for Facebook and Temu).
Finance is a beautifully elegant con.
You mean Truth Social? Can’t be sharing a platform with all that fake news…
As a resident of the UK, the international Eyes coallitions are unfortunately unavoidable for me, so that is mostly moot.
But I agree with everything else, especially the AI API, I would consider allowing a local open-source and open-weight SLM access to my inbox for summarisations / weekly digests, among various other ideas.
Been using Fastmail for a couple years now, previously bouced between Proton and Tuta.
I cannot fault Fastmail, yes, like the name suggests, it is fast (sending is almost instant and new email comes through quickly too), but their features for inbox sorting, rules, and custom domains is incredble.
I have my own domain name that I wildcard in Fastmail, which means I can enter [email protected] and it’ll be delivered.
Then I have several rules set-up to autotag depending on the address the email is going to.
Their interface is slick, easy to use, not too cramped and not too spacious, lovely contrast, just pleasant to be in.
All of that, along with a calendar with easy CalDAV support, notes in Markdown, and generous cloud storage which I mainly use for file transfer between my devices make the £5.40 I spend on it monthly an absolute steal.
It’s great actually!
Before, I would make my coffee before turning on my computer, now I can streamline this as with Windows my computer isn’t ready until my coffee is too, saving me valuable minutes.
And right when I’m in the middle of my work, I’ll get exciting pop-ups about the new AI capabilities coming to Office 365, far beyond what LibreOffice could ever dream of. I didn’t even ask for the adverts, they just feed me new content all the time!
Most of my work now involves prompting Copilot and waiting for it’s response, downloading Windows Updates, or waiting for my Google Chrome with it’s own bundled 4GB AI model to install. With that much waiting, I’ve increased my coffee consumption 5x so far this week, hit my move goal 3x over every day (I go for a short 20 mile hike while the Updates download), and generated some absolutely hilarious images with ChatGPT and my friends!
And this is it too, I feel safe knowing that if needs be, the proper authorities and Microsoft can access my device’a data to help catch terrorists and protect the children.
Besides, what have I got to hide anyway?
This came exactly when I needed it, thank you, recently my computer has been too fast for my liking, and I felt like I controlled something I owned (which is just too much responsibility for me right now), and all of that was solved when I replaced my OS with Windows. Glory to Microsoft, forced updates, Copilot, and outdated code!
And I think that’s because everyone is very well written and has a full profile rather than being one-or-two dimensional good/evil.
Damn right it’s a national security concern, let the US keep it’s spyware to itself.
