Every Spaniard should be proud of Spain. While so many countries cower to Donald Trump, Spain does not. Spain treats the mob boss like the criminal he is, and if we all did, Trump would lose all power.

holy shit just saw a guy try to order a takeaway by phone and was given an ai voice chat bot. he battled with it for like 5 minutes and then gave up and asked to be put through to customer service. now it seems like he's doing a text chat with the same ai. the "customer service" is just another ai chat bot

You paid me, a long-time Linux user, to use Windows 11 exclusively for a month: here’s how it went

You all donated en masse to have me use Windows 11 for a month, and so I did. What was it like for a long-time Linux user to go back and experience Windows as it exists now? Is it really as bad as we've collectively made it out to be? Did my m

you don't need to say "open web."

the web is open, that is any app that uses web formats and protocols to connect to other apps is replaceable.

it's not enough to say you're open, show us how your product works with your competitors. if it doesn't, your intentions don't matter.

it's all about interop.

This is a screenshot of the ad in question, if you’re curious. You have been warned.

To be clear, I don’t actually *know* for a fact that the entire layout was AI-generated but everything smells like that to me, all the way to the fonts and styling.
