Do you want anything "AI" (Artificial Intelligence) in your (future) phone/mobile device?

EdanOsborne,
@EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

@stux I have mixed feelings. On one hand, it would REALLY improve Siri. On the other hand, practically all AI at the moment is problematic, and there's no reason why Apple's attempt would be any different.

It's that time again where I would urge everyone to read "Little Brother" by @pluralistic

It's available for free at https://craphound.com/littlebrother/, but I would of course recommend buying a physical copy.

@bitwarden Are there any plans to add security recommendations, like Keychain has? It would be handy to know how many of my passwords are the same or have been breached.

@lukhash Teletext itself isn't a thing here in the UK, but you can sometimes access Red Button on BBC One and BBC Two (mainly during news programs), which serves the same purpose.

You also used to be able to play games using Red Button on the kids' channels (Cbeebies and CBBC); but that might not be a thing anymore, since I haven't watched either channel since the early 2010s.

@Codeberg I've just noticed this issue. Is there a high server load at the moment, or is this a bug?

I kinda super dislike my posts about politics and mostly Trump since it's often negative and I'm not about that but..

..it feels the threat is so incredibly high, I must do whatever I can to get as many of us to the "non destroying side" of history

Somehow the upcoming US election feels very definitive, even for a not-American. There is so much at stake on a global level

EdanOsborne,
@EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

@stux I mean, back in 2021, I kinda figured 2024 was going to be the year when (even if all hell doesn't break loose) the stakes are highest. After all, there are a lot of elections happening, a few treaties and agreements expiring, and also the year a lot of people and companies said they would do things by.

I'm also turning 18 this year and leaving school.

@astian I heard you guys were planning to release Midori on iOS. Is there a TestFlight or IPA yet? Or is the project still in an early stage of development?

EdanOsborne,
@EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

@astian Actually, out of interest, what engine will it be using? WebKit would make sense, but it would be possible to have Gecko now.

Hm.. I still have the domain "mastodon.press" :think_bread:

Any org interested?

EdanOsborne,
@EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

@Linux_Is_Best @stux Good idea, but I'm pretty sure they have their own instance, https://social.bbc

For example, @BBCRD

@EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

I'm considering creating another personal #website, but for more formal things like writing articles and programming updates, as opposed to the usual #blog stuff I have on my #Neocities site. It'll also have a simpler design, optimised more for reading than having a fun appearance.

I'll most likely buy a domain from #Namecheap; but Neocities requires a subscription in order to use a custom #domain, so does anyone have any suggestions for cheap or free web #hosting that I could use?

    @noellemitchell I've been using Bluesky for a while, and my circle is very nice. Is it better than Fedi? Not really. It's just different. Am I going to keep using it? Until things start getting paywalled or full of ads, by which point I would imagine there will be other, better, and decentralised implementations of AT that I could move to.

    Fedi to the bitter end, though!

    Which Mastodon clients do y'all use on iOS?

    Back before the Internet, we thought the reason for human stupidity was the lack of information options.

    I’ll put it this way: That wasn’t it.

    EdanOsborne,
    @EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

    @Strandjunker Maybe it's all the lead and smoke we've been filling the air with since the 1800s.

    Gargron, to firefox
    @Gargron@mastodon.social avatar

    is by far the best browser on desktop. Let me be clear, I am not saying that because I am ideologically opposed to using Google products. I use YouTube and Google Workspaces. Chrome genuinely has nothing to offer over Firefox. If your website doesn't work in Firefox then I'm not using your website.

    EdanOsborne,
    @EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

    @Konstantin @Gargron Not anymore. Gecko overtook it earlier this year.

    EdanOsborne,
    @EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

    @Gargron Same. The browser I'm building is based on WebKit, but I would have chosen Gecko in a heartbeat if there was a library available.

    EdanOsborne,
    @EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

    @darth @Gargron Servo could be perfect in the near future, but it's not quite ready yet.

    I might start working on a Servo browser now, though, in preparation. It might also be a good excuse to learn Rust.

    EdanOsborne,
    @EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

    @darth @Gargron The browser engine options are even worse on Qt, since QtWebKit hasn't been updated in a while, leaving only QtWebEngine (which is based on Blink).

    What I would like to do is either resurrect KHTML; or try to get Servo, NetSurf, or Libweb into a usable state.

    EdanOsborne,
    @EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

    @darth @Gargron Funny... I only test my code in Firefox, Safari, and Lynx.

    EdanOsborne,
    @EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

    @jeremy_list @Konstantin @Gargron Not to mention that Google deliberately slows down some webpages (e.g. YouTube) if you have a non-Chrome user agent. It's the classic formula of "create a problem, sell a solution".
