Wonderful. An entrepreneurial boostrapper is already putting the smartglasses technology to magnificent use.

- Notice how BBC wants the sensational headline and the eyeballs, but refuses to name the manufacturers.

- More such innovation please. More toys for rich techbros !!

- This is the inevitable march of technology towards a bright prosperous future for humanity.

Wow! This is nuts. So, LLMs that are destroying our planet as we know it, are for 'entertainment' purposes only.

Articles like this expose Si Valley's savage disregard for the user. And of course, codebro users who love their illusion of 10x productivity with LLMs couldn't give two shits about ethics or the planet and god forbid the poor.

Programming needs to be bombed back into the stone age ?

Oh no. Nobody could have predicted this. I, certainly never predicted it the day they announced the M$ takeover. Nothing to see here. Please continue hosting your code on github.

This appeared on my android phone. I don't know what any of this is. No option to opt out of what to me seems like entirely unnecessary and alarmingly invasive technology.

Come on phone manufacturers! Make a model with opensource software!

Android about to ban side-loading. This is exactly the future of tech that we imagined 20 years ago.

On mastodon it's probably like preaching to the choir. But still.

Western Digital has zero hard drives left for 2026. It’s February...

AI companies are deliberately creating physical memory scarcity so your data only lives on their infrastructure.

The goal is not innovation. It's holding your memories hostage and forcing you to rent space and useless AI compute that serves no real purpose.

RESOLVED : dropbox on Debian 13

If you are on Debian 13 and want to use dropbox as a daemon/desktop application, I have found it impossible to use their new software (.debs created for Debian). I also think it is mining your browser data for AI analytics.

Go with the nautilus-dropbox package in the stable branch.

And start looking for an alternative. They are coming after your OS and browser. Shameful.
