    For me last phone I thought: “I’ve never dropped a phone so the glass or screen protector broke, and I don’t care about scratches. Why bother? It’s much nicer and thinner without.”

    Guess what, I dropped it on some gravel week #2 of having it. It still lived a long life, but with a very ugly crack in the bottom right corner. Lesson learned.

    Plastic screen protectors suck though, you’re right. Wouldn’t get one that’s not glass.

    This OS isn’t made by the EU, but it’s goal is to become sponsored by them:

    Is EU OS a project of the European Union?

    Right now, EU OS is not a project of the European Union. Instead, EU OS is a community-led Proof-of-Concept. This means it is lead by a community of volunteers and enthusisasts.

    The project goal is to become a project of the European Commission in the future and use https://code.europa.eu/. For this EU OS is in touch with the public administration on member state and EU level. So far, EU OS relies on https://gitlab.com/eu-os.

    Personally I don’t see why EU wouldn’t just go with Suse. It has the corporate support that I guess these government institutions crave, it’s a good system as far as I know and it’s home-grown. Ubuntu is another option, Canonical is a British company (not EU anymore but it is European).

    I sure hope so, but I have little faith tbh. Cloud providers have done a great job selling serverless solutions that are tightly coupled with the provider. Wise companies have limited themselves to the basics - load balancers, servers, maybe some serverless container solution or kubernetes. The latter can move pretty much anywhere with some, but not a whole lot, of effort. The former, have fun rediscovering the quirks of your new provider’s equivalent of lambdas or whatever (or at worst, rewriting the whole thing).

    I think there is a skill set that’s required to use AI efficiently. You need to know what kind of problems they’re suitable for, be able to recognise when it’s going in circles or hallucinating and you need to be able to troubleshoot and understand whatever it’s outputting. Personally I’ve found it quite useful in many cases.

    A team with one creative and one gets things done is not too bad. I’d take the headline with a grain of salt since AI are known to not always get things done and sometimes will lead their pilots around in circles for no good reason, but still, they don’t really need to be creative to beat most teams.



  • My experience with Matrix is that the federation itself is a deal breaker. I have a pretty beefy server and good connection which was getting ddosed by running Matrix and timing out on so many requests for avatars/profiles etc. Maybe I did something wrong, but the whole experience rendered me quite skeptical to the viability of it as a federated chat.

    That said I’ve had nothing but good experiences using it with big servers set up by pros.
