Leuk hoe @Tweakers het bericht deelt over dat Loops nu in de App Store is. Veel positieve reacties in de comments ook, maar ook veel argwaan bij mensen die niet snappen dat dit een open source project is en blijven hangen in "hoe verdient dit bedrijf geld?".

Het is dus geen bedrijf 🙂

@chris lol, Apple, seriously, read the room.

The rise and fall of Stack Overflow is a case in point of the parasitic nature of LLMs. LLMs feed their models on places like Stack Overflow to be useful to users, so users flock to them to avoid the eternal snarky comments and just get an answer to their problem right away. But this is a dead end. No new answers will be generated if no one uses Stack Overflow or similar places.

What goes for Stack Overflow goes essentially for the whole internet. Like a mold growing on food, consuming it, and dying once the food is gone - LLMs will kill large parts of the 'old' internet before long.

The podcast is well worth a listen as it lists all the right reasons to give Mastodon a whirl ❤️

Wow, relying on Signal might actually be a Very Bad Idea™

In below longread there's a lot to unwind, but the essence is this: it is a state asset for American imperialism built on the infrastructure of Big Tech.

So... uh... @delta it is then?

@chris Warranty issue?

Today is Digital Independence Day, a German initiative to move more and more away from Big Tech in 2026. Let's reclaim our independence!

@alanc 20 years ago... Time flies! I remember this release and how much of a deal it was at the time.

@feld Seven years and no one bothered to do a pull request I guess.

@prettygood that’s true, I do my gaming on my Linux desktop.

@prettygood I regularly open HoI4 save files that are about as big 🤭

It be like that.

You just KNOW they're going to use that line again.

@dansup What's this? I don't have an update available in TestFlight.

Now this is ridiculously catchy.

And yes, I bow to my socialist vampire overlords 🙇♂️

@chris wow, that bad huh?

50,000 TWh is around 1/4 of all energy we use as a species on this planet. It's on another scale, hard to imagine.

Yes, China had 359 GW of utility scale solar in 2024 and was installing another 277. That's ~1100 TWh annually.

Yes, China is building 150 new gigawatt scale nuclear power plants until 2035, that's another ~1200 TWh.

Yes, China has 521 GW of installed wind turbines, this amounts to another ~1400 TWh.

It all dwarves Western efforts, but amounts to less than 10% of China's energy hunger. So much more is still needed. And this is a moving target as energy consumption is still going up!
