Heh, Drew is organizing a sit-in to protest against Jack Dorsey (former CEO of Twitter, billionaire, Bitcoin and blockchain enthusiast) holding a keynote at #fosdem2025.
@Beggarmidas@bagder Other scanners are based on facts. They actually run curl's code and observe its behavior, or statically analyze the code, i.e. read it and report patterns that are known to be potential sources of problems.
With "AI" on the other hand, everything is fuzzy, everything is statistical probability. It can't reason, it can't observe, it can't really analyze things because it doesn't know what it's doing. It can only output stuff that sounds plausible, whether it's right or not.
Wusstet ihr, dass die Tagesschau aktuell einen Testballon "tagesschau together" auf Twitch fährt? Noch diese und nächste Woche Donnerstag von 20 bis ca. 22 Uhr – also quasi jetzt gleich:
Mitmänner, wenn ihr heute mal ein paar Minuten Zeit habt, setzt euch doch mal hin und scrollt ein bisschen durch den Hashtag #FrauenAlltag. Und lest ein paar von den Geschichten dort.
Lesen funktioniert übrigens ganz prima auch ohne Verwendung des Reply-Buttons. 👍
Und ich poste das hier ganz absichtlich mit der Sichtbarkeitseinstellung "quiet public" (früher "unlisted"), weil dieser Post damit nicht unter diesem Hashtag gelistet wird. Lasst die Frauen reden. Ohne dazwischenzuplappern.
3. After three days of speculation, founder and CTO Kyle Spearrin posts a comment saying that this is just a measure to isolate a part of the code from the GPL.
I haven't given this a lot of thought, but hear me out for a moment:
When people say "the complexity of modern web technologies make it almost impossible to create a new web browser from scratch", what they really mean is "a new web browser that supports everything Chrome does".
I wonder whether that's even necessary. After all, the web _should_ be built with progressive enhancement in mind.
But who am I kidding, right? Most people only test their sites in Chrome these days.
That being said, I feel like "the web" as in "open standards, and sites are being built with interoperability and semantic content in mind" is basically almost lost anyway. These days, we're building pixel-perfect web "applications".
Back in the days, when CompuServe's and AOL's non-web services were still a thing, I considered their walled-gardenness inferior to the web. But now, Google is building a new, larger wall. The AOLification of the web is almost complete.
