I did write a android app for my SO, rather over engineered - but I had fun programming it and SO uses the app daily.
The thing is, the app was in ReactNative and I didn't regularly update the codebase with current ReactNative versions so, to get the app running on a newer Android version I had to either go through the pain of updating the app or rewrite it.
I didn't really have the time and energy to rewrite it. So a few weeks ago I just gave it a shot and provided Claude Code with a few screenshots, description of functionality and it basically one shot the whole app.
Now I am building new features SO was missing and currently also developing a backend.
> Depending on how easy it is to run Linux on this as opposed to the new MacBooks may make this attractive for Linux users.
Why? Just to get ARM? Buy a brand that actually works with the kernel and distros to get their hardware working with linux. Get your money to the people that actually help the software ecosystem.
When you spent premium, put your money where it makes a difference.
The article linked here is a consequence of the actions taken against the repository linked by OP, not a more 'credible source'.
The file linked in by OP, is the main argument by Pawel Jarczak why his fork does not violate any copyright laws (may it be written by/with help of AI or not).
Social media has hit rock bottom a long time ago. Everything else is just digging even deeper. Problem is, people keep consuming that crap and wonder why nothing is changing for the better.
But the question still remains, why did Igalia pick up a dead project?
I doubt you'd invest that kind of money/time into a project without a good reason. I am not saying that ladybird or manifest v3 are the reason, I just notice a lot of new energy in the not-just-chrome category and wonder what the other reasons might be.
Andreas Kling is pretty open about his reasons to have started the ladybird project and I just know Servo from his monthly videos and a few other sidenotes, so I was surprised that it gained so much traction after being basically dead.
I wonder, seeing the immense growth in 2023/2024, how that correlates with the ladybird project, which officially started in 2024.
Could Manifest v3 be the reason we have so much fresh air blowing in the browser ecosystem or does it just stem from a general unhappiness of said ecosystem?
Awesome! Something that I had on my todo list the past couple of months, because I also switched from YT Music to Navidrome + Bandcamp. Feels great to own your music again.
Yeah of course, technically that is true. Still when talking about e2ee in any context it implies to the non technical user: The company providing the service cannot read what I am writing.
That's not given in any of those examples. In the case of ChatGPT and this toilet sensor e2ee is almost equivalent to 'we use https'. But nowadays everybody uses https, so it does not sound as good in marketing.
There was a discussion here on hn about OpenAI and it's privacy. Same confusion about e2ee. Users thinking e2ee is possible when you chat with an ai agent.
I knew I've already seen this. Seemed like a great tool then as well as now. Will definitively deploy it on for my personal file server. Just haven gotten around it.
Lumo never promises encryption while processing a conversation on their servers. Chats HAVE to be decrypted at some point on the server or send already decrypted by the client, even when they are stored encrypted.
Read the marketing carefully and you will notice that there is no word about encrypted processing, just storage - and of course that's a solved problem, because it was solved decades ago.
The agent needs the data decrypted, at least for the moment, I know of no model that can process encrypted data. So as long as the model runs on a server, whoever manages that server has access to your messages while they are being processed.
EDIT:
Even found an article where they acknowledge this [0]. Even though there seems to exist models/techniques that can produce output from encrypted messages with 'Homomorphic Encryption' [1], it is not practical, as it would takedays to produce an answer and it would consumes huge amounts of processing power.
You cannot compare these examples. There is currently no way to encrypt the user message and have the model on the server read/process the message without it being decrypted first.
Mullvad and E2EE Messengers do not need to process the contents of the message on their server. All they do is, passing it to another computer. It could be scrambled binary for all they care.
But any AI company _has_ to read the content of the message by definition of their service.
While I can understand that it's frustrating. Kernel level Anticheat is a abomination in itself and should in no way be supported. It is a security flaw in itself!
While you're at it, you might as well downgrade to Win7. No jokes aside, if all the software you want runs on it, it is fine. Just no security update etc.
I would suggest just switching to Linux and using a VM for things that NEED to be Windows. Games that run kernel level Anti-Cheat won't run, but tbh nothing I would suggest installing anyway.
All the Fairphone Versions support e/OS/ as far as I know. I have the Fairphone 5 with the current e/OS/ version completely un-googled. But you also have the option to allow partial google-fication in e/OS/ so you don't miss out on most of the features and paid-apps you had.
While I agree with you, i feel like that was not the point the author was making.
It more so was a warning that the combination of little reviewed community plugins and a not sandboxed macos binary is a potential risk. And with that sentiment I can also agree.
