Consider that this is an iPhone 16 in a MacBook shell, though. This gives you performance comparable a 5 years old used MacBook M1. It’s usable, but it’s designed to act as a gateway drug, you’ll immediately hit storage and memory limits and want to buy a more expensive one.

8gb of RAM in 2026 where most modern apps are made in electron and a basic text editor takes half gig to show a blank page is less than ideal

They are already on the enshittification path.

After the “please disregard copyright and generate all the Ghibli-style photos that you want” phase, now they enforce a 24 hour cooldown after any kind of image upload

I wonder how the survey has been done?

Because if it has been done by phone, “do you want x to be banned if it continues to break the law?”, then it’s biased because X is historically used as a placeholder and only a ketamine addict could think that is a good idea to destroy a brand for that

Not meaning lemmy.world (which I’m assuming to be European as the fedihosting foundation IBAN for donations is dutch) but GitHub which is free and (mostly, because copilot ads) adfree because paid with user data

That style of moustache went out of fashion very rapidly after that photo

afaik the difference is that the free model is gpt-5-mini instead of the full one, and they stole less data for training that

I’m not completely sure why

I think it’s marketing

5000 mAh is much a bigger number than 19 Wh and marketing loves huge numbers

Kinda like BMW did with the i3.

In 2013 Tesla was selling a model with a 60 kWh battery so BMW had the genius idea to install a 20 kWh battery BUT refer to it as “60 Ah” battery.

Tesla introduced the 90 kWh battery? BMW responds with a 94 Ah battery (28 kWh)

Newest Tesla has 100 kWh battery now? BMW has 120 Ah battery (38 kWh)

“See? Higher number!”, says the marketing

And in order to have a comparable range number they had to implement heavy weight reduction techniques like using carbon fiber for the body, negating any cost saving from the smaller battery AND giving the owner a total loss after small collisions as it shatters instead of bending

At 25 years old there’s simply no way that can be experienced, yet the titles are: Safety and alignment at Meta AI. Prev: VP of Research at Scale AI, research at Google DeepMind.

How the hell someone this young can get this three jobs in a row?

Extremely smart? From the screenshots it doesn’t seem like (you’re supposed to stop by sending the /stop command, not a full sentence that will be parsed by the cloud LLM APIs minutes after the task is done.)

Especially your work mailbox, that is a prime target for hackers and scammers, where a hidden prompt for prompt injection isn’t that impossibile.

This IMHO is a fireable offense, not a funny anecdote

That is also on Google side. I also got an ad for a horror movie during a numberblocks video. It should not be hard to have a check “if the video is designed for kids, then ads can’t be violent, graphic, deceiving or predatory”

Corps like facebook have entire departments filled with assholes trying to be maliciously compliant with your laws.

Like “as the law required, we opened WhatsApp to third party apps”.

Then you go to watch this third party app, and it’s birdchat, never heard before, with only 200 global downloads, with more devs than actual users, launched like one week earlier. And if WhatsApp users want to chat with those dozens of birdchat users, they need to opt-in in a hidden toggle buried in the settings. And when they toggle the opt-in they need to confirm thrice on some scary “are you sure?” dialogs. I don’t think that a single message will be exchanged between the platforms in the whole 2026

So for your anti ads laws, they will argue “this is not advertising, is simply suggesting a feature or product…”

Run? Like physically run? You install a server on your hardware without setting up remote access? Even plug and play one-click solutions like tailscale??

No, but the workaround is to let the launcher use a different config

We don’t have plans to support multiple accounts, but you can still run Heroic pointing to a different config folder by using the XDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/.config2 env variable. You could create a shortcut to something like XDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/.config-user-1 heroic to open Heroic for one user and XDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/.config-user-2 heroic to open Heroic for another user.

you can login in heroic once and then install what you need, and disable cloud saves as default option

with family sharing the DRM does not allow two people to play at the same time, don’t ignore this huge inconvenience

Why do you need family sharing if the games are DRM free? If the kid wants to play a game from your account you just pass him the exe, what’s the issue

Controller support depends from the game, if you mean a controller remapper like steam, then you either use a third party remapper or you simply add the shortcut in steam. With heroic launcher you can add gog games in your steam list with a single click

Writing spam posts like “I’m really satisfied using this website, totallynotanad.com” or “try using Company XYZ, their service is really good”

Organic posting = euphemism for spamming

If the support specifically says that you are a spammer, then you’re a spammer.

I do not have empathy for spammers

Tesla: if you persuade at least 10 million idiots to subscribe for fsd (and reach a lot of other impossible targets) we will give you one trillion dollars

The Nazi: hold my ketamine

That is definitely the idea of the Nazi with the teenager mind

The headline doesn’t match the article, but indeed onlyoffice it’s not real open source.

In my language onlyoffice has several typos. Went to GitHub to submit a PR and… there are no translations to translate.

I open an issue and they tell me to send the fixes to someone by email. I send them, they are ignored and 5 years later it’s still with the annoying typos.

This is a program where they pretend to be open only for marketing but they aren’t actually open
