I vote for stem cells extraction from babies in a same way crab blood is extracted.


Don't buy golden cage BS products, which you don't really own.

Consoles, Apple, Google, etc.


But that's all products, and even if it wasn't, consumer choice is mainly driven by marketing spend, which lock-in companies will always have the most of, because they extract the most money.


not all products


Not which ones?


There are a lot of OSS stuff out there


EU must cooperate with China in same way as with US. They're both same level of evil.


I would gladly make a donation of Claude accounts to Kimi, to support more distillation.


On a more serious note:

If I am working on something not sensitive and afterwards upload my chat log to a public dataset, can open models use that data for training?

Keep in mind, I paid for access to model and half of the work is mine (the prompts). But can the model provider forbid me from publishing my result as open data?


Clickbait, I want to make an actual eInk display myself. Not just buy one from Adafruit.


So question is, why are you starting company in Germany, this is EU, start in better country.


He mentioned German exit tax is keeping him from doing that.


EU is not the US. I started a company in Czechia and while setting the company up was not a problem, setting up a bank account was. Every bank has declined me, I started with the easiest ones.


Because then the german tax man would presumably demand he pay more than he has available, in exit tax (as explained in the post).

To cite the modern thinkers in Corporate Avenger, «taxes are stealing and I get the feeling that were getting fucked in the ass».



Easy, don't make apps for devices which are only leased to people.

Make apps for device, which are 100% owned by people.


Please, anyone from EU (US is doomed rofl) create a petition to ban browser-fingerprinting in EU, across all existing browsers.

I'm not good at creating petitions but can happily sign it. Also with stop killing games and anti-chat control.

I can imagine this can get a traction, if it's explained in youtube video to "normal" people.


A better solution would be to make webgl, webgpu and (especially) webrtc have some sort of prompt before they can be in any way used in that fashion, but this will absolutely destroy web ux Windows Vista style.


And then the gatekeepers like Cloudflare will say "please hit accept in order to verify your browser and access this site".


You mean the "Accept Cookies" banner that has become a complete joke? Pass


It's about explicitly deciding to allow certain capabilities on a per-website basis. No major browser allows defense-in-depth via fine-grained website permissions.

Even simply changing the user agent was sabotaged at Firefox, and choosing one user agent per domain is wishful thinking.


I think he means browser permissions, for example when browsers want notify or record your mic theres a permission check something similar for webgl.


Fun Fact: When Cookies were introduced into Netscape, you got a browser permission prompt. Then browser vendors set it to allow by default.

And then legislation required those consent boxes back, so everyone built their own, instead of demanding that the default should be changed back.


This is actually illegal under GDPR.


You literally can't get rid of it without introducing government issued ID to buy any scarce freely accessible items


Which is why it's very likely to happen, especially in the EU.


Fingerprinting is just an implementation, banning it will just drive these companies to invent new tricks. That's why the GDPR doesn't specify any technical tracking methods, whether you're using cookies or fingerprinting or a camera drone looking at the user's screen, tracking without consent or good reason is banned.

I doubt politicians care much about fingerprinting, though. They're more afraid of actual businesses getting attacked by bots than they are about Linux users with weird setups not being able to access some websites.


a. Accept All

b. Accept Only Necessary Fingerprinting


What the hell is Google Antigravity?


It was a code editor that had Gemini integrated into it. I’ve been playing around with the new version, it can still do what I was using it for, but it does make me wonder if it will become a OpenClaw like tool.
