Well for once I have to stand up for apple. What makes them different in the AI space is that the inference actually happens on device and is very privacy focused. Probably why it sucks
Lung@lemmy.worldto Linux@programming.dev•How does Trump defunding projects like TOR realistically affect its (and other opensource projects) security?21·1 month agoYou may find it funny to learn that Signal’s early development was funded by an arm of the govt that focuses on distributing ideology worldwide – US Agency For Global Media (Radio Free Asia and Open Technology Fund)
You may also find it interesting that Trump eliminated this entire agency about two months ago
Why did the USA run all these programs and fund privacy software? Ostensibly to help people in oppressive regimes communicate. To broadcast alternative media
Lung@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple's 2026 Foldable iPhone Has No Visible Display Crease – Report3·4 months agoI’ve been using folding phones for the last 4 years and it’s awesome. There’s no downside and a lot of benefits
- yo screen dont break
- you can clip it onto your shirt with the flashlight on
- it fits into weird little pockets
- you can use it as a stand for another phone to watch youtubes
Nice read, thanks. Flutter seems like a more obvious choice for apps: can run on web, understands mobile UX, has all the plugins … but I like the path godot is on
Oh fire, he got it up on the site
Overall, it looks like a note editor made in a game engine. Good job, nice retro style
You made a note taker using a game engine?? Why & where is the video demo? :D

Lung@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Would a Key-Based Login System Make More Sense for the Fediverse?3·5 months agoI guess it doesn’t really work as described. The data that’s valuable is your content history & unique username. There’s no way around having to migrate/store this somewhere, and it shouldn’t have to be replicated by every node. So basically we just need a solution for porting account data from one instance to another securely and accurately

Ok so he said same about Russia, let’s see it
Lung@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why Plebbit Outperforms Any Other Decentralized Social Media PlatformEnglish36·6 months agoWell, I took the time to read the whitepaper, and it’s yeah, pretty dumb sounding. The gist is that it’s p2p post sharing with lots of captchas & a crypto edge that it probably doesn’t need https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/eb02f20b-e787-4a02-b188-d0fcbc250ba1/pleb.tex-6d2e1bf.pdf
The similarities to Lemmy are substantial, it’s just not on activitypub, but rather its own pubsub thing. If you want to host data, you still have to keep a node running at all times, it’s not the case that “there are no instances”. Those instances can moderate the content, so it’s not the case that “there’s no moderation.” The whitepaper mentions that “its possible to delegate running a client to a centralized server…” rather than having to have a fat syncing client running on your own machine … in lemmy, it’s more like “its possible to run your own node if you want”. Plebbit doesn’t care about maintaining history of posts, it expects that servers will go down over time, and the data will be lost. Lemmy is pretty similar in that regard too, if all instances hosting the data go down, then it’s lost. The expected outcome is that there’s a handful of big nodes, as is the typical result of this form of “decentralization” - same as Lemmy, Email
Ultimately, I don’t see Plebbit doing anything particularly smarter/better, and having private/public key cryptography involved doesn’t really matter. They talk about blockchains and using coins as anti-spam mechanisms, but I don’t see why that’s relevant to the implementation

Ofc existence is pretty strange on a good day …
Lung@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Mayor Dies in Police Chase Days After Entire Force ResignsEnglish34·7 months agoTV level crazy. Some hints he was being investigated? But also the police had it out for him due to council drama? But the wife said they should keep an eye on him? But he was so scared he veered into oncoming traffic? What is the conspiracy?!
“We were not pursuing him but we were behind him” what an odd thing to say. Maybe he was just being intimidated and harassed
Lung@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Is Pissed at True Reports His Victory Wasn’t Exactly a Landslide12·7 months agoHonestly hilarious level of QQ. The election wasn’t rigged. He won by almost 100 electoral college votes. He had the most popular votes, by 2.5 million people, roughly 50%. Republicans swept House, Senate, and Governors
Elections in the USA are always pretty close, that’s how it works. But this victory is a complete and total one with no real room for doubt
You may not like it, but those are the facts. Don’t mimic the sad boy GOP crying “election fraud” — the people voted. Yes, that means there are people in this country that disagree with you and don’t trust the direction of the Democrats. You might call them brainwashed, bigoted, transphobic, or religious extremists, but they get to voice their desires anyway. Society is a push and pull between different value systems, and imagining half the country is “evil” will only cause more harm
Nothing is going to stop the transition. Buckle up, and try harder next time. Maybe the Dems will actually let a primary happen rather than choosing your leader for you

I just read up on what mauikit is, and it just seems like a pretty bad idea compared to Flutter. Flutter is shitty too, but it’s shitty for the right reasons – operating systems have pretty different UI systems and supporting many of them is hard. But it runs everywhere instead of just Linux and Android
