So the longest subway ride in NYC is 24km (15 miles) and 1h long? We have multiple underground lines farther than this in Berlin with the longest being 32km (20 miles). But don't get fooled, the issues are the same.
I just tried it. It downloaded Qwen3.5 2B on my phone and it's pretty coherent in its sentences, but really annoying with the amount of Ente products mentioned in every occasion.
Other than that it's fast enough to talk to and definitely an easy way to run a model locally on your phone.
This is the wrong argument. Claiming that Mozilla is doing it wrong because the technology purist part of their userbase decided they don't want AI is simply short-sighted.
The kill switch is the best option, because it let's Firefox be like a typical user would expect, while still giving the option to deactivate things. Deactivate by default and the typical user feels patronized.
Historically, it was a rather famous page. It's a watchblog by the German security expert Felix Von Leitner. It exists since 2005, but since May this year, he didn't write anything until one new entry that you can see here: http://blog.fefe.de/?mon=202512
A decentralized social network that uses plain text files over HTTP. No algorithms. No ads. No data harvesting. But not just microblogging. With rich about sections and multipage feeds, it can be a full blogging platform. Write short posts, long essays, organize by topics. All in plain text.
It's interesting how this sounds like a cutting edge experiment, while this is a common thing to see in Germany and other European states for quite a while now.
I started playing around with the idea of a new programming language that compiles to JavaScript. Despite syntactic improvements and type-checking, it's goal is to streamline promises, async/await and callbacks into one signal based system I call live variables. Additionally, those could be compiled via different, interchangeable compiler plugins to framework specific code, like React's useState or Vuejs' Refs, to make it more future prove.
It's still in a concept stage and maybe the whole project is futile, but if it piqued your interest, check out https://github.com/nkoehring/Solace
The misconception here is that the internet is not decentralized. The original idea of the internet is to be decentralized. There are just very large centralized silos built on top of its structure.
