“Today’s the day, although it hurts…”

Started looking around for an Open Source alternative to #AdobeAnimate last night, following that email.

As a company that has long boasted about its commitment to principles, Apple has had a bad several months. It removed ICE Block from the App Store. It let X remain, empowering its users to create child porn, which is apparently “free speech” now. After two American citizens were killed by ICE […]

Question about LLM coding agents in editors like VSCode/Cursor: Does anyone have a write-up about what data gets sent to the cloud? How’s the AI context window populated? Is my codebase uploaded in its entirety?

Cool, dass wir mit KI-Rechenzentren nun eine Methode erfunden haben, noch viel schneller noch viel mehr Wasser zu verbrauchen. Dann geht es wenigstens etwas schneller mit dem Aussterben des Homo Sapiens.

4 . Nicht etwa "Lesezeichen" (das ist es NICHT!)
5. Weiter unten, weiter […]

Was sind das für absurde Euphemismen.
