Like most anything, there are methods and designs (best practices) which if followed, will prevent you from falling into pitfalls like that. It’s generally only a problem if you design things to use time and not account for it. And as for the time changing while an operation is currently occurring, this again, is what transactions and other “atomic” type of operations are designed to account for. There is a lot about computer science where you need to make sure the sand you’re standing on isn’t shifting when you’re on it.

Unfortunately… But yeah, you’re likely right… I can see it going that way.

That I know of? Runbox, Tuta and a handful of others…but those two I like.

Quite terrible to have all that wealth in the hands of so few. We should distribute that more evenly to raise the quality of living for more.

This 100% actually stopped me from moving my mail hosting to Proton. I’m looking at Tuta now and alternatives. And it’s not even the AI stuff so much as his insane toxic behaviour towards his people…the AI psychosis is almost secondary…

yep, they’ve been turning up the dial for some time now …slowly implementing anti-mobile browsing nags and locking down content by classification. And good on them, nothing will ruin their run faster than their own enshittification efforts.

As a lesbian I find this oddly …satisfying to look at.

Why does he look like a budget John Malkovich in this pic??

Yeah, self-host … then you end up on a VPS with a bad spam/RBL reputation because they have other customers being spammy dickheads, and their entire IP allocation is listed. This covers far too many VPS providers. So, when you’re trying to simply get things done, you end up randomly having to troubleshoot your emails not going through or ending up in remote spam folders.

Its a mess. Email sucks. Wouldn’t suggest self-hosting if you have low patience or are busy.

If you can’t beat 'em …buy 'em.

This is no time for joking around…I just wanna know if I can turn my webserver back on yet?! Hello?!? Anyone?!

“Yes.”

Oh no doubt. Gotta train those sociopaths to manipulate better.

Look at those bedroom eyes the Zuck is firing off there … I bet he’s thinking of smoking someone’s meat…

That’s totally an indignant crash out… Fucking asshole in chief sitting there forcing AI down the throats of devs like grain down a goose chasing those phat phuckin slop-grois profits. I’m far from anti-AI, but this fit in or fuck off monoculture shit is toxic and unacceptable.

Kenney is based.

If the meat pic is taking some heat off the trans peeps, then I suppose the Prada Propagandist is doing some good!

fucking love soapy tiddies<3

You’re not wrong with a lot of the substance there, but big tech doesnt own the corpus of AI, and it most certainly will still be around even if you were to dump all of big tech (which I am very much for…!)

I’m not into utilitarianism, just trying to be pragmatic here and not jump on the strong emotional reaction train… Unfortunately, LLMs are really useful tooling …and they simply are not going to go anywhere, so I like to direct efforts to responsible governance, not mob mentality campism.

Shit no go bakie in horsie, lets put the onus and responsibility on the individual and produce better guidelines.

I’m not pro-AI.

It’s based because he’s right. He’s looking at this from a tool standpoint. But too many people are lost the emotional sauce, unable to see the engineering and usefulness beyond how terrible it’s being used. Linus is an engineer, not a politician, not a fuckin business man… You’re all coming at him with the myopic and emotional vigor of evangelists.

We should put the responsibility on the person. Not all funnel into these fucking echo chambers, tone policing everyone’s little divergences from whatever stupid fucking camp you’re part of.

Linus made linux, wtf have you done?? Why should I put any stock into what you have to say?? What long running successes and judgment do you have to show???

You cant put the shit back in the horse, but have fun trying.
