I was a Rider user ever since college, but canceled my subscription and I will be sticking to the perpetual license of a version that does not have AI bullshit. It crashes and eats memory, but since they are apparently focused on shoving AI into your face instead of actually improving the editor, it's not like it's going to change anytime soon.

You are right, it appears I have made a mistake. The error you mentioned would mean that indeed Github isn't dumb and AI is indeed useful.

Isn't this actually illeagal in the EU?

Thanks, I haven't really looked into it, and kind of expected that it's probably not to be trusted. But it surprised me that it's actually a thing, not it makes sense why.

I had no idea Twitters recommendation algorithm is open source/source available. Is that because of some EU requirements? I vaguely remember talks about it being required, but that was few years ago and I don't know if it ever passed.

Thank you, those two sound amazing, I'll see if I can properly donate to both!

This is amazing. I was immediately thinking about donating/joining noyb's support membership, but it made me wonder if there aren't any better options for larger/more well known non-profit organizations that fight for privacy rights of EU consumers, where my money would be better spent, since this is the first time I'm hearing about noyb.

So, does anyone have any recommendations about similar orgs? Or references about noyb that would help me in deciding to support them.

I'm really looking forward for the next generation of people who are unable to read a text that's not summarized or longer than a sentence.

It worked so well with short-form content and attention span for the last generation.

Having your basic litteracy tied to a proprietary tool that is free for now (I wonder why), but we all know costs billions of dollars will be absolutely swell.

Though I have to admit, I'm kind of impressed that capitalism is sucessfully getting away with what appears to be slapping a subscription on litteracy.

I'm on mobile and youtube hates my VPN lately, so I can't link it, but I highly recommend for everyone to go watch how does an exploding/penetrated battery looks like.

I kind of knew they are a fire hazard, but seeing one actually explode was way way worse than I thought. Exploding batteries are no joke, and everyone should see it at least once.

I really enjoyed my time with Nobara, and it was what made the switch to Linux stick for me, so I am grateful for the project.

But, I don't get why would anyone consider Brave, with the many scandals they had, their failed attempts at extorting content creators for their own advertising crypto-scam and other advertising stuff? Plus, it's chromium when we need to push firefox more, either Mullvad or LibreWolf.

Either it's a really negligient research, or they got paid. It's a shame. I already switched to Bazzite, so it doesn't really affect me, but it's sad to see decisions like this. I wonder what happened.

EDIT: I should have clicked the link instead of wildly speculating :D

Brave was not our first or immediate choice, however the decision to change to Brave comes after a long period of testing with various browsers failing in some way or another.

Firefox and firefox based browsers (such as floorp and librewolf) would incur a GPU crash when scrolling live videos (things like youtube shorts, tiktok, etc) with VRR enabled: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12528

Chromium and Vivaldi both would break google meets with hardware acceleration enabled (however their flatpaks were fine)

Agreed, the AI part is questionable, I linked it mpstly because it's mostly funny, plus I learned something new, tho I defo wouldn't take it too seriously.

Also, no marquee :(
