Ah yes, Apple, the world’s largest advertising platform.

I mean, I’m all for “BIG TECH BAD”, but there are degrees.

He could. But he won’t because he’s stupid, vain and conceited.

You're only allowed to criticize the tech bros now, otherwise you're deemed toxic too.

I sure as hell ain’t about to praise fucking tech bros.

Maybe just quit your “Pc hAs gOnE tOoFaR” winging.

Yann LeCun the Godfather of AI? He feels more like a Fredo to me.

Honestly, I fare even worse in blue collar type environments. YMMV depending on your upbringing and general tolerance, but a lot of the “playful banter” I witness is stuff that would have you expelled from student associations these days.

That’s not an endorsement of tech bros btw. They are toxic. The fact that other people are toxic in a different way does not exonerate them.

If you think OSS is undermaintained, you really ought to look at the way 90% of commercial software is developed.

It’s at least equally bad if not worse, with the added bonus that no one else can step in even if they really wanted to.

I agree. It sounds like this Rube Goldberg contraption would basically sacrifice all advantages of WireGuard.

At that point you might as well fall back to OpenVPN and at least get the reliability of a proven mature solution.

Can I get it to transcribe WhatsApp voice messages? I ignore them but people keep sending them.

I’m familiar with the technology. It’s great.

It won’t get built because you can’t make money off it without running the risk of government changing its mind as soon as you’re done building the thing.

If you put economics before the environment then sure, nuclear's not viable, never was.

Wait what? Surely nuclear gets less viable if you factor in the cost of cleaning up after yourself.

And oil's only viable because of mass subsidies and tax exemptions.

That, and massive externalization.
