“We are a small company, we have investors, and we have a product,” Stephen Coates, one of Operation Bluebird’s cofounders, told Ars.

A new and notable feature is the automated fact-checking tool, a Gemini-based “veracity engine for real-time analysis” (“Vera” for short), which runs on every tweet.

Nuff said

Now imagining how it would be if it was expected, perhaps even mandated that every building have cameras and microphones built into the walls. Grand majority of criminals live in buildings after all

If this argument worked fossil fuel companies wouldn’t exist

Why else would you ask the source of a claim we all feel in our gut? Don’t you know you’re either with us or against us?

Tldr, if you clicked the share button they made the chat search indexable.

Pretty sure narrow text width has been a thing for ages, even before smartphones. Unless you mean a newer, narrower style I guess. It’s easier to read when you can see both ends of a line at the same time so even letters are written on portrait paper.

And I’m not a web developer, but if I had to guess styling a page to limit the text width on a wide screen probably takes more effort, not less.

Comparison with closed source software sometimes does. If I installed windows I would pay nothing. If I got a computer with Windows preinstalled I would pay a price premium less than $50, perhaps even negative. And buying it from Microsoft costs significantly more. So how much should I pay Arch? Paying $50 for something I get for free feels like I’m being had.

You might say that I can then pay smaller amounts regularly. But aren’t subscriptions shunned when it’s for closed source software?

Then who should I donate to? I’ve donated to Arch, Kde and the lemmy instances I use. But what about like Linux itself? Browsers I use? The weather app? Upstream libraries of those projects? How much should each get? Kde already gets more money than they can spend. Should the amount be based on how much value I receive or how much they need it?

And once those are decided then I need to find how to donate. It’s easier to just not

But mom, all the cool CEOs are doing it!

If an engineer on my team can now be 10 times as productive, I’m going to hire as many as I can find.
