We’ll see more initiatives organized end-to-end by small groups of smart people, with virtual teams/coalitions forming to bypass “archaic” processes and deliver meaningful results. We’ll see a lot of sloppy failures along the way too, but the overall trend seems clear.

The thing is: It’s great to work in a small group of motivated smart people. But it’s really, really hard to hire a small motivated group of smart people and keep it motivated. And it’s even harder if you’re not located in one of those fancy towns where everyone wants to live or in a business that is really attractive. If your company is in a lesser known part of the country building important, but boring stuff, you will have to deal with not so smart and not so motivated people.

Stuff like this is banned in my country because it totally is not safe in traffic. Elect some not-crazy people, dear Americans, and they might give you sensible legislation.

The question here: Where are those people going? Are they finding other jobs in their field? Are they sill unemployed? Moved to other jobs outside of tech?

Google is also abusing its monopoly to push Chrome. They are sabotaging other browsers on their sites while showing Chrome ads.

Take a look at all those dashcam subreddits and Youtubes and you will see that dashcams can also be problematic. There are so many videos showing random persons doing something on the street or people having medical issues. And there are also those creepy stalker sexual harassment accounts who are filming women in public with their cams

Yeah - people love to shit on Mozilla while posting from fucking Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

The bad news is that this is a reaction to the recent incident where a Obsidian plugin contained malware and it became obvious that their plugin system is quite unsafe

It looks like there is a fan blowing the hot air away

They are kind of public:

Tesla sold 20,237 Cybertrucks in 2025, down from 38,965 the previous year, according to figures from Kelley Blue Book’s annual electric vehicle (EV) sales reports.

So they’re distributing their data center into various neighborhoods and therefore are leeching on power lines and everything else there. Kind of clever but also sneaky an slimy.

And that is also one of the reasons why it is so infuriating that modern linux based Android systems or Windows wants to steer you away from the filesystem.

The issue is that there are apps promising you an calorie count via photo.

That behaviour shouldn’t be possible in a browser that has its users interests in mind. The browser could limit the extentions websites could monitor for to a sensible amount. Or disable that feature at all. Or block fingerprinting by default by providing false data. But if you have the worlds biggest spy company building your browser, you will get a browser that spies

They are reporting “family daily active users” and I assume that this “family” means all of their apps. They are reporting 3.56 billion DAU, but Whatsapp alone has 3.3 billion users according to some sources. So we really do not know how Facebook or Instagram are doing from those numbers - and it does make sense that user numbers are dropping when Russia is restricting access to WhatsApp & Co and Iran is switching off its internet.

Account bans? Which accounts will be banned?

Not really. Blockchain technology has one use case and that is collaboration between partners who don’t trust each other. So we’re talking crypto coins, where not all nodes are really trustworthy and there is an incentive to cheat. But there’s no reason to bring this tech to your Git repository because you really do not want untrustworthy participants in your code. Only you should have access to your Git rep, and then the easier solution is to host it yourself and use a normal database.

The average American generates about $1,605 a year in advertising value. A 35- to 44-year-old man in Bozeman, MT, without children, using a desktop and making high-value corporate searches, generates an estimated $17,929.30. An 18- to 24-year-old father in Fort Smith, AR, using an Android phone and making low-value searches, generates $31.05.

Just imagine how much people have to buy through ads to justify this amount of ad spending.

I know that text to speech does work without AI, but the modern AI-based models are so much better.

Yeah, that really does not look good. Something like that should never have been released in that state and that is a serious problem with processes.

Yeah, and the worst thing about this is that Github is critical infrastructure. If Github goes down the drain, so many devs and projects will be affected
