Microsoft fires employee protestor who called AI boss a ‘war profiteer’
It is also concerning that you have not apologized to the company, and in fact you have shown no remorse for the effect that your actions have had and will have.
the fucking audacity. i mean, we all knew how it would end, but talk about 5d reverse psychology mindgames

The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training
Reply in thread
no, you are right. there is a lot of talk about the brave browser in this thread, a chromium based ad blocking browser by the brave company that gives you their own crypto in return for unobtrusive ads on the start page, which can then be used to donate to content creators on the internet (i think) or be cashed in. you and the op are talking about brave search, a search engine created by the same company

it's fantastic for like 85% of all games, and good to acceptable for like 10%. the only big issue is games with kernel level anti cheats, which is a problem for some gamers, mainly AAA and fps lovers.

M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable
tbf it seems to be a common issue with search engines atm. brave also has the stupid ai response topmost, and startpage without adblock pushes in so many sponsored results that you need to scroll to get to anything else

Updates and Third-Party Integration with Bambu Connect
"we're so 'sorry' you don't like being fucked in the ass, if you are not willing to take it nice and deep, that's your problem".
also they are blatantly lying about "actively working with developers like Orca Slicer...". Softfever knew no earlier than us exactly what was coming. See also their comment here. Or on the official GitHub issue.

What paid software is absolutely worth the money?

I'm sure BeyondCompare is much more powerful, but have a look at WinMerge if you don't know it yet. I keep being impressed by it for being free and OSS.

Gouach wants you to insert and pluck the cells from its Infinite e-bike battery
i love the idea, but everything i know tells me that replacing one cell in a series parallel array with a fresh one is a bad idea.
over it's life, a battery's capacity and internal resistance change, so it's not only important to match batteries in a pack by exact type, but also condition. otherwise, the cells won't charge / discharge evenly, leading to overdischarge / overcharge, or, if managed by the bms, drastically reduced performance (basically all cells are limited to the worst one's performance).
still, the concept is fantastic, so i hope they found a way to work around this issue!

Bitwarden or Proton Pass
Reply in thread
i trust proton quite a lot, but the open source part seems to be only partially true. on their github, i can only find client side code (ie. browser extensions, mobile apps), not the server code, which bitwarden does publish
