Sakana is certainly a choice of a name. In portuguese, goes from anything between "scoundrel" to "sleazebag".

That's a name choice...

This is a fair point, alongside the one about the hidden content in the weights.

Exactly why my prime suspect would be the one country with focus on proprietary models, and the one country prone to bombing others, including with nuclear weapons.

Eh, I'd be more concerned about the Three-Letters and the One country that dropped an A-bomb.

..."just"?

Did they forget it's proprietary, and from the same person that made OpenFeint, which also had a privacy lawsuit?

Hype-based ones like what's described in the original blog post are a nightmare. And I don't even need to pull the privacy card; the UX is already daunting enough.

A good benchmark I have is my wife, who didn't grow messing around with computers and a tinkerer's mindset: if she's taking more than a couple of tries or days to tinker and start living with something new, I need either to prep a better backup plan, or to cut it off. Very specialized stuff (like light bulb colors) are still too expensive to have more manual-like controls, but almost everything toggleable should have something one can press.

I mean, at least OpenClaw is funny in the sense that a D port could finish the roundabout by calling itself "OpenClawD"...

Now they need a rewrite in D.

So it can be... _OpenClawD_.

I kept forgetting Narrator is a Windows program, and the post read like the author was referring to the "Narrator voice in their head" while testing the UIs.

It made the post more amusing, actually. I sighed when I saw "Windows Narrator" suddenly.

I can't read "Ponzi scheme" without thinking "Bonzi Buddy scheme". Y'all should just change the term already.

One of the most pleasing things I've seen in a long, long while.

Unfortunate to be called something like that instead of an alternative for IMDB's ratings or something.

Rotten Tomatoes is clearly meant to be just a parody website. Look at its name. It can't be taken seriously.

Nah, Free Software is better than proprietary. Discord's attack on privacy and user safety are there to see.

Well, and that's not to mention the massive amounts of personal data and metadata Discord is hoarding and doing whatever it wants with.

I fail to see why this article didn't mention that OpenFeint had a privacy lawsuit in its end as well.

One can only hope this privacy-hostile proprietary platform dies sooner rather than later.
