Learned a few (meaning of foobar,…), remembered some and enjoyed a lot. thanks for the link.

Waow this seems like a great framework abstracting all the ui shitty stuff

If you want or need something chromium based, a good alternative IMHO is Vivaldi, although partially open source.

Very nice project, at least I can try to switch from gboard and degoogle me a little more … For code, CLI, … I, however, prefer Unexpected Keyboard.

This maybe my next read 🙂

Currently reading The Golem of Hollywood, by Jonathan & Jesse Kellerman, I’m half through it and enjoy it very much.

Nothing on the shelf yet (except Holly by Stephen King but I think I will read one or two novel before the release). I’ll probably look on the lemmyverse for suggestions.

I recently started using Duck Duck Go instead of Google.

I still had this thought that Google was the best technology as I went from the early web (remember… altavista.digital.com, yahoo, …) and I remember that Google was really a game changer when it started to become popular.

I tested setting DDG as default search engine in my desktop and mobile browsers, thinking that when I don’t have expected results I would go to Google… I never had to switch to Google because I was wrong, DDG is as good as Google while being better from privacy point of view.

For the browser I use Vivaldi on both android and desktop.

The Ukraine-Russia war because I live in western Europe and fear the possible consequence (some already occurred like energy and goods prices raise).

D. J. Trump justice issues since I think that’s important for judging the health of our democracies.

Exactly this is the problem, when I talk non-geek (including my wife) about privacy they answer “what the hell have you to hide !” … It’s so difficult to convince people :'(

Well written code do not require comments, using good variable naming, dividing in simple operation through anonymous namespace functions well named. Sometimes comments are still required but should be avoided because they trends to not remain in sync with updated code and IMHO it’s worse to have lying comments rather than too few…

Very interesting post, congrats…

The more I read and see about AI / deep learning and the more I feel anxious…

I’m anxious because we seen during the covid crisis how many people were easily convinced of fake news and complotist theories that were by no way realistic, now I imagine that with the power of a forged argumentation from chatgpt and deep fake from midjourney… How to convince people they are wrong then…

I’m also anxious about the changes that will occur in the job I love, software engineering… I don’t want to spend the rest of my life fixing bug in code automatically generated by an AI. Or worse to loose my job because some manager think I can be replaced easily by a bot …
