Or better named after oil companies.

OpenAI’s notion of “fair use”: military and weapons

Those type of companies are getting so f*****g disgusting.

According to the experience of a friend, eating 1kg carrots a day makes your skin go slightly orange. You’ll likely notice only in places where the skin is thin and white. For example around your knuckles when you form your hand into a fist.

It is completely creepy. Think about who is behind Open AI. That’s a mixture of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel (Palantir), Microsoft and others. A right-wing, anti democratic, anti-human and purely profit oriented group. The name “Tools for Humanity” is complete sarcasm. What they do with Worldcoin smells like a modern attempt of colonization. Collecting biometry, subverting critical infrastructure (financial systems), making fake promises, blinding poor people with shiny metal balls and a little bit of money in some cases.

This can be stopped though! The Kenyan government apparently banned the project - for good.

Also fun to read this (by Google employee): https://blog.yoav.ws/posts/web_platform_change_you_do_not_like/ I literally snacked popcorn.

Cool, never saw any of those!

The EDA/CAD vendors generally seem to aggressively kill competing projects. You cannot trust any project as long as it is not open source under a copyleft license (plus does not require contributors to sign contributor license agreements).

The decent PCB tools I know of is KiCAD and eventually LibrePCB, which I never tried.

KiCad. Stay away from closed-source tools. They’ll all try to press out the max amount of money sooner or later. Or get bought and discontinued for eliminating competition.

In general, that’s definitely a problem too. Just look at Windows 11. Now M$ wants you to buy a new laptop such that their OS can run at all. I use a >10y old laptop with Linux. No performance issues for everyday use.

Going from Google-Android to LineageOS boosted the battery life of my old Smartphone by a factor 3 roughly. There where some Google-things consuming battery in the background, probably spying on me. Also using simple Apps from F-Droid helps to get a smooth experience.

Those sympathies with a fascists are alarming and should make people worry much more than the Reddit-drama itself. Anybody cares about that?

Do you have a reflow oven? Or simply with a hot air gun? How do you do it?

Couple years ago a Youtube-Googler told me that adblockers are their big worry. Suckers.

Did not notice yet because use Piped XD
