That’s an actual great point, noted.

Still no word suggestions?? Wow.

Anyway, Heliboard exists.

They won’t. They’ll just substitute them. The idea is trying to force every company do the same thing, as making people work locally makes them more dependent on their local company and less likely to jump to a better job.

Then you can lower salaries (not rise them) and destroy benefits. Also you can enforce dress codes to make it look like a dictatorship country like North Korea.

Is that American hand writing? It reminds me so much of James Hetfield’s, and basically no one writes like that in my country.

RCS is supposed to be a distributed protocol, just like SMS, but using data. It is not the same as Signal. Tho, currently, Google is the main provider for almost all phone companies.

RCS is not another chat app.

It’s the NEW SMS. That is why it is so important, and that is why it works ONLY IF YOU HAVE A PHONE. Because that’s literally the point.

Having your mom, grandpa, and everyone automatically use encrypted, modern comnunication just because they have a phone is extremely important.

Realise that in places where SMS has been historically free, SMS is the standard.

XMPP, Matrix or whatever will obviously still have its place for more “incognito” conversations. But having a phone number should also give you access to a better alternative than SMS.

Pedantic, but Google Messages’ RCS. And it’s all Google’s fault because they are holding the API hostage, probably because they want to create familiarity with the app so that people don’t switch once they finally open up.

They are remaking all apps as native apps so maybe this problem gets addressed too.

Where’s that tool then?

But an AI can “realise” the code might be downloading something it doesn’t need to. That’s the point.

AI is “smart” and understands that you told it that the library was supposed to do something specific, and it can understand that and look for things that seem not correlated to the purpose of the repo.

Yes, of course, the idea would be something like passing the AI a repo link and a prompt like “this repo is supposed to be used for X, tell me if you find anything weird that doesn’t fit that purpose”.

I understand, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see some solution out there that could maybe feed the AI chunks of code without context… It may still be able to detect “hey you told me this software is supposed to do X and here it seems to be doing Y”.

I guess we’ll have to wait a couple of years for these tools to be accessible and affordable.

Oh I am very sorry, I think I did not express myself properly. I wasn’t particularly referring to you, but rather the typical user who will answer to the “Musk is one of the richest” with the “company value” thing.

I do think tho that whatever your opinion on Musk’s companies is, the market clearly thinks otherwise, which banks are part of it.

Also, I strongly dislike Musk. But it’s very clear to me that he has enough power to do whatever he wants like wasting lots of money trying new things until something sticks.

He might not be now, but like a year ago he was the richest human ever. I don’t think he’s fallen from the top 20. And that is just the official numbers. Imagine what might be hidden.

And don’t come to me with the “but shares are not money”. Shares are basically money, and you can even use them to convince banks to give you more.

That’s what happens when you have so much money that you can just do crazy things knowing that statistically something will make money.

Look… I certainly (particularly verbally) will probably use “he” a lot more than I should… And no one cares.

But if someone makes a PR changing these into “they”, I would reply with “shit, you’re right, this is objectively better, thanks for your work”.

Instead, these contributors get their PR shut down with the most terrible, supremacist excuse. That’s the problem. There’s the true idiot.

Sponsors will pay if you are big enough, no matter the platform. If PeerTube went big, you’d probably start seeing sponsors.

Then publish on both!

It definitely is useful, I use it for train tickets, or user QR codes for things such as IKEA, supermarkets, gas stations… It’s quite literally a virtual wallet where you have all your “cards”, but they are QRs.

This way, for example, you don’t have to install every single app to get the QR code that identifies you in every market. You just paste them into this wallet and you are good to go!

NFC payments require a transaction platform and these things are only possible with banks or huge, “trusted” companies like Google/Apple.

Although things might start changing in Europe (for now) with GNU Taler.

I am expecting that is exactly the point. I don’t think they’ll win, tho. We’ll find a way around it.
