We need an AI with all human knowledge, or various with different specializations. But those AIs must not be in the hands of companies.

So many years winning, just to lose today... Well played, sir!

Warning: conspiracy theory incoming. Imagine you are an investor, one of those big guns that are on top of a few big companies. You have a lot of money, but because you're smart you don't invest it all in tech companies. Some of it goes to, let's say, real estate. Now imagine what would happen to that money if companies no longer needed offices, those huge and expensive offices... Also, you invest in an overseas company. There's lots of profit there because you pay cheap to your employees. Now those employees can start working directly to US companies for cheaper than in US, but still more than is paid in that country. Now if want people working for you, then you need to pay more than these remote workers receive. There goes your extra profit And the way this happened really shows that companies were really hoping to change the way of working after COVID, but someone didn't allow that.

Almost 20 years ago I decided that I would check out the famous emacs and vim editors to then choose one. Never got to try emacs... Thanks Bram! You will never be forgotten.

And the companies are controlled by venture capitalists, who are smart and distribute their investments. So they have interests in various companies, including the real estate companies.

I think that logic is employing the "best of two evils" ideology again. People should vote on the person that better represents them and person C is the one that represents most people. Voting against people they dislike is not the basis of democracy!

Before hosting my own FreshRSS instance I used TheOldReader (and Google Reader before that). It's a great way of focusing you're attention and keep track of sites. It does hurt them though, since it won't load their ads.

Need help too. What's up with all these beans posts? I'm out of the loop :(

Yes, I was talking about apps. In my case it's liftoff, so taking into account your comment I can assume information is available, but app must have to use it.

I remember using http://www.abandonia.com/

Let them be! I deserve a chuckle every now and then :)

Had those problems in liftoff until I removed and re added my account.

Connect is a bit better and more stable in my experience, but I'm staying with liftoff due to it being open source. But I miss its continuous vertical bars in the comments. And I miss the per-page scroll and folded comments by default of RiF!
