But now he's anyway at the table with them? Bullshitters all around. Fully open-source models are the only way.

Hopefully Mistral or open-source can get similar models working. At the moment on the Max subscription with Claude Code, need to get away though.

If the goal is less AI in militaries, how does having better open source models improve things?

Honestly, I found Kimi K2.5 to be a suitable replacement. I use it through opencode, with the "Oh My Opencode" plugin, and I'm really starting to think that the harness makes a far bigger difference than the model.

I'd put it as 90% as good as Opus 4.6, I have to direct and correct it a bit more, but it's well worth the price difference.


Very excited for this! Just recently moved my Google Pixel Pro 10 to GrapheneOS.

Accountability has gone out of the window a long time. The only way it will come back is when the people fight back.

Many of us are waiting for the people in the US to start taking their responsibility seriously.

By buying US products, using US-based media, and adopting US narratives? That's a part of the problem. This world is lacking multilateralism.

Switched a couple of weeks ago and works perfectly. I also found so many better apps that dont steal your data for basic stuff like weather, notes, messaging,...


Why has the world not made an open-source zero trust dating app? It's such a basic need it seems for people, but the current app landscape is filled with scams, dark patterns, selling your data, trying to keep you locked in,...


I'm guessing it gets overrun by spam, scams and porn bots even faster if its a low budget community thing.


Not to mention the gigantic legal iceberg the first time someone is attacked or worse after meeting through the app.


If I'm going out with someone the last thing I'd want is zero trust. In fact, I'd want the platform to thoroughly confirm everyone's identity


I'm not sure if I don't understand your comment, or you're misunderstanding 'zero trust':

> implemented by establishing identity verification, validating device compliance prior to granting access, and ensuring least privilege access to only explicitly-authorized resources.

I was thinking about zero trust in the context of simply confirming if a user is 18+, where the identity provider only returns a true or false withour exposing more info. For a dating app you'd want the identity provider to confirm a whole lot more, which might not even be present in the ID


Back in the day I used livejournal and for a couple of years in a row I setup a matchmaking site that paired users up.

You'd login to my site and see a list of all the blogs you followed, then you could nominate five of them as people you were interested in.

If they did the same, you'd both get a notification.

It was a cute system and because it was restricted to selecting only from people you already followed it was nice and local. The code was released at the time, but has now become lost in the winds.

I could almost imagine setting it up again for instagram, facebook, or similar, but .. getting users would be hard I imagine, and I'm sure the companies would try to sue or prohibit it.


Haven't seen any "zero trust" dating apps but there are plenty of free ones (some operating with a "donations" model, like duolicious). How do you envision a zero trust dating app to work in practice?


> Why has the world not made an open-source zero trust dating app?

What would that even mean?

Not the open source part, what is a "zero trust dating app"?

Given what we see in other primates, abusive spouses almost certainly predate anatomically modern humans, while gold diggers will have likely existed from the moment we abstracted money in the sense of "rare shiny rock that is a token of power to be spent in the future".


Elon Musk did the biggest data heist of all times.


I’m not sure I’d even call it that.

It was obvious and happened in broad daylight in front of everyone. But much the ICE assaults, there isn’t much Americans can really do about it.


"We've tried nothing and are out of ideas."

Sounds like Americans are in general fine with all of it. Voting patterns hold. General sentiment still remains aligned with the status quo. There does not seem like there are any consequences for the representatives to not represent the people.


Doesn’t appear to be related.


On any Android phone I immediately install Niagara. Best launcher by far. Makes everything so efficient and beautiful.


Niagara is amazing. It's quite different from other launchers, so either it works for you or doesn't. It perfectly matches what I was doing before, which was searching for apps by name to launch them.


There's also the open source Kvaesitso !

Doesn't KISS do this? I'm curious why Niagara when KISS is probably lighter/smaller.


Haven't tried KISS, just looked at screenshots. Niagara tries to be slightly customizable and aesthetically pleasing. I've been using (and paying for) it for years. Its plenty lightweight to be snappy on even older model phones.


Scary that so much of the basic internet infrastructure is being managed by US companies. Maybe now the rest of the world will change and become more independent. We should have learnt our lesson long ago though.


Considering that the internet was invented and built from scratch by the US military, US universities, and US companies, why are you surprised? And who do you suggest could or should manage much of the internet backbone, if not them?


The rest of the world exports its talent to the US because they don't pay enough. There's no reason why the EU couldn't have made an Akamai or Cloudflare clone decades ago save for the money.


What do you mean? The internet is virtually entirely decentralized. There is no one central BGP router.


Refreshing to see. Makes you wonder what we could achieve if we all just started to say no to enshitification of the world.
