    MacBook Neo Outsold Every Other Mac in Its Q1 2026 Debut Quarter

    Jump

  • I was thinking of getting one in the future for similar reasons. My current laptop is an Intel Mac from 2011 running Ubuntu (Windowmaker session). It runs macOS and Ubuntu well enough, but it does run hot and the fans are loud.

    My only fear is that unlike previous MacBooks, when macOS expires the device could become e-waste rather than something I can install linux on.

    What a great attitude to start a book with.

  • Google is cannibalizing the web to feed AI

    Jump

  • AI companies do not release any numbers themselves for carbon emissions.

    I think the EU is even helping them keep that "operationally sensitive information" private, which is a shame.

    not adding AI does not stifle environmental goals.

    I can't agree or disagree here. I know the demand for AI is huge: hundreds of millions of users per day and at least a billion per week. If Ecosia is seen not to have this feature, I would consider it possible that it hurts their adoption and therefore their goals.

    which shows how incredibly dirty AI can be, even if no one releases any sensible metrics.

    Yes. I'm not sure how much solace the "world greenest AI" slogan can really offer in that context. https://blog.ecosia.org/ecosia-ai/ - but when I'm recommending search to someone, I recommend Ecosia over Google, Bing, DDG, Qwant, Mojeek, etc. simply because I think they are more of a net positive than the other options.

    Who knows, maybe in a year or twos time I'll look back and regret it when more information surfaces. But they've been sensible enough until now with their operational choices to reach tree-planting goals.

  • It’s not me downvoting you, by the way. Anyway, AI is the antithesis of eco-friendly so I share the criticism. But given their success to date I defer to their sense for pragmatism and results.

  • Google is cannibalizing the web to feed AI

    Jump

  • Isn’t that hyperbole rather than truth? They’re still carbon negative.

    They don’t provide AI by default (at least, I don’t get it). So people like us can continue to not use AI and the hundreds of million who use it every day can still support tree planting.

    I don’t like AI, but if they don’t add it they could risk limiting their reach and environmental goals.

  • Ecosia have planted 250,000+ trees so far and publish their accounts every month. I can’t think of a better option, unless there is a niche requirement.

  • They just formed the biggest tech worker union in the US. The plan is to take on AI and industry layoffs

    Jump

  • My question is: for who will they fight back? Meta employees have shown us they only fight for themselves as employees, not the victims of their work. And then there’s what Microsoft did to those who opposed involvement with genocide and colonialism. Many more examples too.

  • They just formed the biggest tech worker union in the US. The plan is to take on AI and industry layoffs

    Jump

  • I have mixed feelings on this. Tech workers are often the henchmen of borderline evil organisations. They’re looking for a place at the table, rather than to hold the companies accountable.

    Of course, if it’s not as easy to lay them off maybe they can afford to risk holding them to account. I’m sceptical though.

  • GitHub faces a fight for its survival at Microsoft

  • Woah!

  • Until someone can answer your question directly, Codeberg would be the best common example with 50,000 users in 2023.

  • The AI bots are coming and the young are booing, not applauding

    Jump

  • Graduates might be wise enough to boo, but I know too many in the same age group who use it. The parents, of course, do not supervise their device use adequately when they were growing up and the evidence shows in other areas of their lives.

  • The founder of Infomaniak (a Swiss-based cloud provider) transferred the majority of the company's voting rights to a Swiss public-interest foundation

    Jump

  • Yes, someone did suggest this to me at the time but it was too much for me then to figure out DKIM, DMARC and SPF then. Not something the average person can do.

    Nations providing free (or at least consistent) domains is an excellent idea.

  • I wish I switched to these guys when I left google. I chose a large provider in India because I just wanted to support them.

    But I did not realise that the Indian government has gone so fascist that they are even ahead of USA, and far more authoritarian than Britain.

    It took over a year to get everyone to switch to my new email address so I can’t really ask this of people again. But I’ll suggest it to others who are looking for recommendations.

  • What's your favourite song lyrics?

    Jump

  • I’m glad I read those lyrics. Thanks for that, and the link.

  • Hello my friend. Sorry for the late reply.

    I recognised the Finnish writing, even though I only know some basics, and I listened to the song.

    Thanks for sharing how significant the lyrics are for you. I’m sorry for your struggle. It was a problem for me in my twenties and I was lucky to be able to mostly deal with it (therapy + medication + positive life experiences). I know many others are not so lucky.

    I hope you choose to continue to stay for the beauty, in spite of the struggle.

  • The mosquito was not formally honoured at the time or decorated in any way. It seems fitting to right a past wrong now and get a statue done.
