Looks like someone needs to learn how to sandbox their agents properly.

This proves we still need proper knowledge behind the agent. The whole thing about "anyone can code anything" is still inaccurate.

I always avoid apps if I can.

But yeah, that comment is a bit disconnected to majority of the population.

I’m not saying that I disagree personally, but for most folks, installing an app does not cross any line in the sand

Granted, there's a lot of crap apps out there. But properly built apps are a world apart from your typical PWA's or web sites (or even really good ones)

Is your house's heating system based on H100s?

I look into my perfect workable Samsung Tab S7+ and remember that it has been an year since the last security update.

Now I rely on a few random individuals who, for all I know could be state agents or a ransomware organization to provide unofficial versions of Lineage so I can keep using it.

Battery isn't the only problem to avoid e-waste, but it's a start.

Aren't security updates the deciding factor for the life of a phone these days? Manufacturers provide updates for 7 years max which is probably less than the battery life.

I'm a Darktable user and Affinity mobile user. I was pretty happy with both.

I was using Affinity for quick edits. I happily paid for their software as it's worth what they were charging for and not subscription based.

Then it was bought and Canvas decided to release it for free. What sounds like good news, for me it's concerning: Companies need to make money. If users are not paying, well, they might actually be the product the company sells: either with ads or intelligence. I hate ads as much as I hate my data being harvested, so I'm out now.

A couple of weeks ago I found what seems to work for me now: I bought a tablet capable of running Fedora and Darktable, and that's what am using now.

Canva, not Canvas. It's free with optional paid add ons, mostly around AI features. Canva does not sell user data.

There’s a joke that in a couple of years, after spending trillions of dollars, burning mountains of coal to run country-sized datacenters and boiling all the oceans, we finally achieve AGI.

Then the first question we ask it is: 'How do we fix climate change?' And it answers: 'you can start by unplugging me'

I've heard this theory in the past:

In a couple of years, the corporative communication will work like this:

You write a bunch of bullet points and feed them to an AI to create a beautiful and well written email. Your reader will feed that email into his own AI and he will generate bullet points to read.

I've heard the story of the time e-mail was new and one secretary's job was to print out her boss's emails, he'd write a reply below by hand, and she'd type it back in and send it.

In other words, just as they did in "Rob Roy": "My factor will contact Your Grace's factor..."

Nah,

All around the world, even people in the lower income brakets take vacation. Sometimes they travel if they can, sometimes they don't.

Working until you wear off is mostly a US thing.

Pcloud is a security nightmare. If you really have to use it, add your own crypto layer on top of it.

Gocryptfs works well for that.

Can you motivate why Pcloud is a security nightmare?

A couple of years ago someone raised evidence that pcloud was processing documents stored in their servers.

They created that "paid cryptography addon" later, but it's hard to trust at this point.

Whataboutyism much?
