…and despite that people are upvoting, because who cares about facts, let’s just hate a thing that I don’t like

The main advantage of fediverse over, let’s say X, is that you can change server if you find owner not trustworthy. So just do it, it’s exactly why it was designed in this way, to let you do it easily.

But talking about funding… I might indeed reconsider doing this…

Is there a reason why you gathered so many features in a single update? It seems to be challenging to test all these features at once, why not just publish them step by step in smaller updates? For instance, Mastodon have even split quote posts into two separate versions (first backend, then frontend) to make this process smoother.

I’m using Proton for privacy, not anonymity. I’ve literally put my name and surname in my email address. I don’t care if someone knows that me is me.

But I do care that no one is reading and/or automatically processing my mails.

Hopium administered

It’s not “manufacturered”, so it’s not conspiracy. But it’s from unreasonable and unacceptable high demand.

Who are investors and where is their money from?

If it’s from investment funds, then I’ve got bad news for all of you, it is your money as well.

We evaluated Devstral 2 against DeepSeek V3.2 and Claude Sonnet 4.5 using human evaluations conducted by an independent annotation provider, with tasks scaffolded through Cline. Devstral 2 shows a clear advantage over DeepSeek V3.2, with a 42.8% win rate versus 28.6% loss rate. However, Claude Sonnet 4.5 remains significantly preferred, indicating a gap with closed-source models persists.

Thank you for being honest about performance

This attitude is plainly wrong. If you use Linux because it is free as “free of charge” then you are missing a point. You should use it because it is open.

I would even say that they should contribute the same amount of money to organisations that actually develop a software that are going to use. Because they will certainly need support and security patches and this will never be free

Is Multi-Community UI already available? I can see it is merged, but is it released?

And what popular modern e-commerce website offer an information about marketing deals via RSS?

and DO NOT DEFINITELY pay for journalist’s work, because he certainly do not need to pay taxes, rent and will happily write articles for you free of charge and paywall is just to make you mad

Some people might think you are joking, but it’s actually true

It’s the IKEA effect. You tend to like something more if you built it yourself.

Has it? If someone offered me access to the Internet from 20 years ago instead of access to today’s one, I would certainly refuse.

No GitHub? With all open source software in existence presented in a standardized way? No StackOverflow? With giantic knowledge base presented ad-free? No Fediverse? No vod streaming? No interactive weather apps? Guys, c’mon.

Cloud. Windows is going to be sold as remotely accessible virtual machine hosted on Azure. The change will first take place in government offices, then in companies, and finally (after people get used to it at work) among consumers.

Why would gov and enterprise like it? Because of:

• safety - all enterprise data will be stored on Azure servers and won’t ever leave it. It makes preventing data leakage so much easier
• maintenance - software updates can be applied even outside of working hours, Microsoft could launch VMs and update at any time
• ease of upgrade - need better specs? you don’t need to buy better hardware anymore, you just buy better subscription. Hardware won’t become obsolete anymore that quickly

Consumers will also like it. No need to pay hundreds of dollars for new GPU when you just want to play newly released game. Also, all your data accessible from anywhere in the world.

And why Microsoft would like it? Kinda obvious, it would be even harder for users to quit a subscription, they will be tied to ecosystem even more

Yes, sounds ridiculous, but how will this ratio change if we take into account the cost of hiring a programmer and the costs of implementation of a niche feature that this experiment provides at a cost of LLM inference?

Also: we can cache and reuse enpoint implementation.

Stack Exchange. I know, controversial, as people complain about rules being there too strict and community not being too welcoming nowadays, but still a real goldmine of knowledge. All of that with no ads, no spam, no dark patterns.

Even if you go to Europe (where I live), you will still listen to American music, read news about America everywhere, eat American crap food, use American Internet services, watch American TV shows. It is not easy to leave America :D
