Remember the early days of Uber and Lyft, when rides were dirt cheap because the companies were operating at a loss in order to capture the minds/wallets of the masses?

The rug pull in the AI/LLM world when the companies adjust pricing to actually make a profit is going to be spectacular. Especially when you consider the numbers of people / orgs that are addicted to or dependent on such technology.

Another reason to hate #Apple We're seeing more 2018+ MacBook Pro/Air donations — but Apple's T2 chip means even after iCloud sign-out and reset, the firmware stays locked to the original account.

Without donor contact, these machines are useless. :(

I've upcycled ~1,000 older Macs, but T2 era machines will end that. It's controlling, creates e-waste, and will only get worse. #righttorepair matters — Apple couldn't care less.

I can't go back to the regular YouTube UI after this 😅

Obsidian Reader now makes the transcript interactive so you can scrub, highlight, auto-scroll. It feels so nice.

If you are using MCP to access your data, you are trusting that third party with unencrypted access to your data.

Third-party MCPs are not an option if you value privacy. End-to-end encryption makes MCP effectively useless.

Suite à la réunion du comité de programme, les notifications aux auteurs et autrices sont parties ce jour et les commentaires leur sont accessible sur le site

Encore merci à toutes les personnes qui ont fait l'effort de soumettre leur travail, accepté ou non.
