Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are pump and dump schemes, while others are pyramid schemes. Others are just standard issue fraud. Others are just middlemen skimming of the top.
Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

Signal Messenger is warning that Recall, the AI tool rolling out in Windows 11 that will screenshot, index, and store everything a user does every three seconds, poses a risk to its users. Effective immediately, the Windows Desktop version will by default block the ability of Windows to screenshot the app. Of course, Microsoft provides no API to disable Recall from screenshotting specific apps, so Signal is getting creative. They are invoking a digital rights management API that blocks the screenshotting of copyrighted material.

AI is not actually telling you anything of substance & meaning, its just regurgitating probabilistic combinations of words but sounding confident in doing so.

No abstraction, no meaning.

Oh & its stealing our water & heating the planet to do so by scraping the internet for such words at intense costs for cooling machines.

But do fucking go on.

It's 2025, and Microsoft has invented...nano.

In all seriousness, having a CLI editor by default would be super handy. But I've been installing Helix everywhere, and it's been lovely.
