I was saw so annoyed when they started showing shitty video games ads on the frontpage I stopped my subscription.
I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

Here’s a list I had compiled of non Google/Apple alternatives.


As far as I understood, those noises would come from gas or diesel electricity generators and cooling systems.
As someone who just hosts a few small markdown websites on GitHub Pages, that sounds intimidating.


Hi, I’m the brave soul reading it for you.
Currently, the Dutch government’s code is spread across GitHub and GitLab, neither of which is under government oversight.
GitHub got ruled out first because it’s proprietary software, which directly conflicts with the government’s own policy of preferring open source when options are equally suitable.
GitLab made it further in the evaluation but didn’t survive it either. The issue was its open-core model, where the Community Edition is genuinely free software but the Enterprise Edition is not.
Forgejo came out on top due to its fully free and open source nature. Licensed under GPLv3+ and governed by Codeberg e.V., a democratic nonprofit, it has no enterprise tier, proprietary upsell, or vendor lock-in problems.


Anecdotal personal observation, I didn’t research the literature.


when I search Reddit or read comments online, I often see people joking or implying that Asian women prefer white men over Black men, or that Black men should not even bother. Sometimes it feels like there is a quiet racial hierarchy being reinforced, where whiteness is treated as the safest or most accepted option, and Black men are treated as undesirable, threatening, or socially costly.
Yes, there is still a racial hierarchy being socially reinforce, it is getting weaker, but slowly. The average society moves slowly, seeing black people getting better represented everywhere every year does not mean the previous centuries of racism are over. Intimate relationships will probably be one of the last things to equalize because it is the furthest away from rationality. So we sadly still need strong minded and/or strongly in love “pioneers” defying social conventions and taking the emotional risks to help make this aspect of racism wash away.

People don’t want to give up that luxury now that they’ve had it.
Maybe people should also take some responsibility there?


2027, year of Linux car, or bicycle.


Let’s hope my predictions are wrong then. Are you betting on it?


Just reminding people Kobo is not just that nice little Canadian tech company anymore, it’s part of tech giant. So don’t fall for the David and Goliath narrative that is implied here. It’s rather third-rate Goliath and Goliath. So take your precautions where you can. I sadly don’t have an alternative to suggest.


I don’t want to ruin good news, but everyone needs to know that Kobo is owned by the shitty Japanese Amazon equivalent called Rakuten since 2012. So the risk of enshitification is pretty high, why not if the hardware is nice, but try to cut as many software ties as possible.


Strawman fallacy, these people do not support the genocide, they support electing the lesser evil.


Edgy leftist teens in particular

They over-consumed the goods from those countries and they lost their minds.


I’m happy for your people and for Europe. I hope this movement keeps its promises.


I think it’s already the case for 1080p at the distance most people put their TV.
Maybe Anthropic somehow attracted more politically conscious people compared to OpenAI, and it shows in the training?
