iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Well they added an exclusive tab for slop videos in one of their apps. I really don't think Meta is shying away from AI-gen videos in any shape or form.

What happened to Spotify's Discover Weekly?

Privacy is Priceless, but Signal is Expensive

Agreed. But I'm also concerned about the $14 million/year that it costs them to run Signal infrastructure: signal.org/blog/signal-... Open-source libraries (OMEMO which is based on libsignal) for self-hosted encrypted chats, using XMPP for example, looks to be the only sustainable solution.

signal.org

Signal is the world’s most widely used truly private messaging app, and our cryptographic technologies provide extra layers of privacy beyond the Signal app itself. Since launching in 2013, the Signal...

Thanks for the post! For me, Qwen 3.6 27B proved to be a model which felt pretty close to frontier from a few months ago. Though t/s is abysmal because it's a dense model. Running via oMLX + Safehouse + Pi on M1 Max (64 GB): agent-safehouse.dev

Found this to be an interesting analogy. On the one hand, I do believe AI will lead to a lot of "personal-itch" apps; on the other hand, I also believe that humans are extremely lazy creatures and a ready-made solution will always win over one which requires effort.

A comment on hacker new which says:

I think, is that everyone who needs small
software to manage a todo list or synchronize
files, or whatever "normal" people do, will end up
with bespoke personalized software written by
their own AI
People can't be bothered to cook for themselves,
and often order crappy, unhealthy food that costs
10 times as much just so they don't have to cook.
Now they're going to build their own software
every time they think they need an app..?

I've had excellent, albeit slow, results with Qwen 3.6 27B, while Gemma 4 was a letdown. Curious how do you drive it.

Tried it and liked the overall experience, except for the amount of permissions it requires. Ability to deactivate my Bluesky account; change my account handle? The only thing which kept me going was trust in Eurosky. I'm sure there is a technical explanation at hand for this, but please reconsider

writing is an inherently dignified human activity

Loved reading this: www.personalcanon.com/p/writing-is... Reading it gives me hope that this intellectual hunger is only going to increase the more AI becomes commonplace.

Added support for mu.social in Zen Social extension: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo... For a moment there, it felt like I was in a completely different land, despite being in the same territory. Those numbers really do a number on my head!

Typo, it's mu.social, and I agree it looks pretty interesting!

It will still refuse. Sabotaging was on another level though.
