I’m so happy with Voyager being a really good replacement for Apollo. If you use it, donate to the dev. Building apps this good, solo, is hard.

Samsung’s board of directors. Of which half are probably using iPhones.

Don’t worry, that’s all written by defense contractors anyways, so they’ll sell it to the US, and to others the US allows, all closed source. The source won’t even be open to the US government, either, as that’d harm the bottom line of the contractor (support & maintenance contracts for that closed-source software).

I’d still want the browser to at least be able to do it as a default, not at the whim of specific sites.

I build call centers.

When we design the call flows, those are the first tings we disable. You can tell a company at least slightly cares about their customer base if they actually do allow you to escalate to a human without a ton of effort. Most don’t, and want to shove “AI” in front of everything, so they can hire even less people in low-cost markets. Offshoring wasn’t cheap enough for these leeches companies, now they want AI to replace those folks making starvation wages to get yelled at all day.

And sometimes, these solutions work well. Most of the time, they work just well enough to not have people quitting their service in frustration.

They can, but this wouldn’t be a website thing, it’d be the whole browser. Not a bad thin, IMO, Recall is cancer that no one but Microsoft board members & investors are asking for.

I predict privacy-preserving browsers like Librewolf, Waterfox, etc. potentially deploying the same “DRM for a good cause” approach Signal is using.

I read that it’s “opt out” not “opt in”.

Nice, wholesale illegal wire tapping. It’s OK, it’s legal because it’s AI and Google is totally not storing any recordings. They say this is all on-device, but that’s an “oops” or equivalent from them hoovering up recordings of every phone call you use one of their surveillance endpoints phones on.

There are open source alternatives? Do they handle Plex/Infuse integration? Trakt’s obsessive march toward enshitification has been pretty predictable, but maybe this price hike will be the last straw.

If you are a developer, writing code, the taller screen helps.

ATV is the only box I recommend. I’m anti-Google, don’t trust Amazon (and now their service is going to do ads on a paid Prime membership), and Roku has major privacy issues at least in the past. Curious why you’re seeking an alternative to Apple.

NYT should just abandon it like NPR did when they were labeled as “state media”. NPR recently said it had near zero impact on their site traffic.
