"My strong suspicion is that many people who join Telegram for its social media features also end up using it to communicate privately. And I think Telegram knows this, and tends to advertise itself as a “secure messenger” and talk about the platform’s encryption features precisely because they know it makes people feel more comfortable. But in practice, I also suspect that very few of those users are actually using Telegram’s encryption. "
In defence of posting this. On my Mastodon account I;
- post Bloomberg solar research that is normally behind a $$$ paywall, which I no longer post to X
- post about getting drunk and taking a live goose to a party (he was a bit sulky but he's a retired exhibition goose, he wasn't hugely stressed and he was back with his family 15 minutes later).
I mean, that's the deal.
@whitequark I'm not familiar with either piece of software. Looking at the Bombe page on steam, I imagine the gameplay is similar to installing software on NixOS. So the reply makes perfect sense?
@vwbusguy Locate, and drink, Apfelschorle.
There's a really good burger place named Burgermeister at Kottbusser Tor. They have a good veggie burger also if you don't eat meat. (This is the same roundabout where SchneidersLaden is, which is the synth store with the strangest nerdiest gear in like, probably the country. But that probably has more limited appeal than Burger.)
@spoltier yeah, Zed did the AI integration similar to Cody. it’s definitely a more technical approach, but i like it a lot more. going back, Copilot feels brain dead
@kellogh interesting, their doc says it should be enabled by default https://zed.dev/docs/completions#configuring-inline-completions
Still have to try it (not a vim user though). Have you tried sourcegraph Cody in VS code / intellij?
in Zed, one thing i’ve noticed, the AI tab completion isn’t implemented, so it’s not reaching out to an LLM nonstop. this feels refreshing. Copilot’s constant attempts at LLM completion end up being distracting. i just want an LLM when i ask, otherwise be quiet
@spoltier it's tradition to watch it every year when the station closes for the winter :)
@kevzag this made me think of a question: did you ever watch "The Thing" at the base, and how does it hit?
@andi not at all! It’s an interesting question that social media makes me ponder all the time. Part of the puzzle is what it is about voting specifically that makes people want to seemingly violate EUT in this way.
or to put it differently, what further utilities do you have to add in (self identity etc,) for the decision to look like it makes sense
On a related note, we are very much in danger of going back to a world where parts of the web only work in certain browsers. Google spent a lot of time and money making Chrome the gold standard. But the result is people build their website to Chrome rather than to general standards that will work everywhere. I went to back to using Firefox as my default a while back. It's mostly okay, but I'm back to a world where sometimes the website I want to use just doesn't work.
