Nissan proposed to make a street lamp with a used car battery module in the base, so each lamp can hold 10 kWh distributed neatly all around the city

Something that no one will use.

Idea: let’s force all WhatsApp and Instagram users to use it by putting unwanted buttons in the UI

Which fines, this is just an internal rule in an organization.

At most can be rightfully banned from contributing

It someone is contributing with code that doesn’t really understand, then shouldn’t contribute

For me the unthinkable is giving my hard earned money to a multi billion dollar corporation

It’s the same stuff if you ask it to help you master a foreign language in dialogue mode

• Help me practicing English pronunciation"

• Sure thing! Now say “travel”

• *user just belches in the mic*

• great job! You really aced the accent!

Yes, in the car. But I immediately change frequency when it comes to ads or start to talk too much about useless stuff (for example for some reason at 9am most channels need to waste 15 minutes of people’s lives by reading gpt-generated horoscopes)

It’s a way to listen to something different all the time, otherwise if I choose Spotify it always the same stuff

Although some radios are like 50 tracks on loop with pre-recorded talk segments pretending to be live.

My conspiracy theory: those signing keys are very “tasty” maybe Microsoft was aware that some state-sponsored attacker got hold on them and blacklisted for everyone’s safety.

Imagine what would happen if NSA or that other Israeli spy company could sign fake veracrypt or Wireshark binaries

It’s ok because the binance CEO guy purchased a pardon in helping Iran laundering their BTC

IMHO if they just give them bibi, then they will reopen it

Alexa, play Despacito

i realized that the problem with an hosts file is the the system will completely bypass the dns server and directly contact the address. There is the need of something that enforces an IP address blocklist at the router level like opnsense

Fun fact: Microsoft edge for Linux has a copilot button. But they forgot to implement it, so it just takes space on the menu bar (cannot be removed)

Right, it won’t ask the DNS server to resolve it, the solution requires a much more expensive blocking on firewall

Difference between Open Source and “open” source

This is “open” source and it was the main reason it got forked (lots of proprietary bits included as binary, impossible to send a PR, obfuscated code)

It’s “open” exclusively for marketing “our product is better because it’s open source” and mostly because in this way they can use GPL 3 code for libraries without paying for a different license

Fuck them

Probably making sure that the sweet telemetry reaches their server after the URL got included in some blocklist. Solves nothing as who included the URL, now will include the IP address.

In Italy if you get fired (not if you quit voluntarily) it’s mandatory by law to get 75% of salary for 104 weeks (but from the six month it will get reduced by a 3% monthly) plus the severance package is at least 6.9% of the yearly gross salary multiplied by the number of years worked there.

On top of that, most union contracts (97% of workers in the country) increase that amount of money that the company has to pay.

Finally, it’s a bureaucratic mess. You can’t just fire employees with an email sent Friday afternoon and expect to get the offices empty on Monday. In order to fire more than 5 employees over 120 days the company has to get agreement with unions (money incentive to resign; early retirement; higher and/or longer severance pay) and if it’s doesn’t get an agreement within 45 days it will need to get an agreement with the government (another 30 days) where need to pay at least a 5850 euro tax for each fired employee. So from the cuts announcement, workers have at least 2 months of full pay and full work.

The only way to fire employees “American style”, “from today you’re unemployed” in Italy it’s bankruptcy (chapter 7) but proceeds from the liquidation Will be used to pay

Thanks for this post, i would have updated mine next semester…

Websites like this are the reason I’m forced to use noscript on mobile

Or maybe it was vibe coded in one day

Yes. Here is how the icon was in August 2025, before the launch of apple liquid ass:

And Google home had a similar “glass” icon redesign
