- Comment on Google says 75% of the company's new code is AI-generated 2 weeks ago:
I’m convinced that is a generated metric that is far away from reality. the objective is too make their product seem better than it is
- Comment on Why aren't non-selfhosed AI models/apps private? 2 weeks ago:
you ask the user for it if they want to recover the account and hash it. if the hash matches your previously stored hash then you send the email
other providers that position themselves as secure for activists or journalists do exactly that and they cannot handle that information
- Comment on Why aren't non-selfhosed AI models/apps private? 2 weeks ago:
in that particular case the people involved were identified through their recovery email which they did not hash like ‘safe’ other providers do. they have positioned themselves as safe even for activist and journalists and have failed to deliver in that account consistently.
no surprise since their CEO is a MAGA guy

there has been in the news several instances where proton has given to law enforcements information that have hold onto. in some cases regarding journalists.

- Comment on The EU requires phone makers to fit 'readily removable' batteries from next year — but there may be a notable exception 2 weeks ago:
and even with that, recent iphones are way easier to repair than a few years ago. I would not say anyone can do it, but it’s definitely easier than before when you basically had to disassemble the whole thing

- Comment on Solar is winning the energy race - The world’s cheapest power source is scaling at warp speed, pushing coal, gas and nuclear aside 1 month ago:
that is an absurdly high price for energy. I pay on average between 20 and 30 euro cent per kwh

There is also the possibility that Pumpkin Harkonnen just wants some ‘donations’ to provide individual exceptions to brands.
- Comment on Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website 1 month ago:
while this sounds awful. there is little correlation between patents and actual features. companies patent whatever they can. it mean little if it is a good idea or not. they just want the largest possible patent portfolio.

a detailed I liked is that brakes told he had a gift for the federation with a big red bow. looking at the mine ring of image mines. It is clear he meant that
- Comment on Star Trek has more to offer or it has to end and stop producing more content? 2 months ago:
honestly, don’t watch star trek content on youtube. it’s full of haters. for some reason it seems like podcasts have a higher percentage of people who are not into performative hatred.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x08 “The Life of the Stars” 2 months ago:
great episode. I do wish the actress who plays Tarima was better acting. I think her scenes were the weakest
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks 2 months ago:
it is also the series that had to define what Trek was in current times. It took it a few seasons and the later shows used a lot of that lessons. it might had a lot of problems, but I dont think it was for a lack of trying.

- Comment on Pope Leo XIV brings not peace but a sword to AI oligarchs and a slop-mad world in new address, says it's 'Turning people into passive consumers of unthought thoughts' 3 months ago:
I dont think this is new. the catholic church has taken this sort of official position on these kind of matters for over a 100 years . Leo XIII argued in favor of workers rights and trade unions back in 1890 (in rerum novarum). In practice, of course, things go a little bit different.
