why do i need to update the app so i can see changes. Whats the point of a change log then? I have auto updates off cause it a hassle to revert back to an earlier version if I dont like the changes. I know for a fact the ig update is for their new stupid map feature and AI shit. I will not update unless it stops working completely. Is it so hard to say what specific bug was fixed and what exactly do you mean by performance. why cant it be detailed like this

I'm looking for some newsletters from individuals that focus on anarchy. "Substacks" but not from substack, I read a lot of newsletters/periodicals on feeder and substack is against RSS feeds (among other things) since they want you on their platform. I get the RSS feed from the anarchist library but I want more variety.

Pope Leo said “we’re in big trouble” when it comes to the ever-widening pay gap between the rich and poor, citing Elon Musk, who may be on course to become the world’s first trillionaire.

Leo made the remarks while criticising executive pay packages during his first interview with the media.

Reflecting on why the world was so polarised, he said one significant factor was the “continuously wider gap between the income levels of the working class and the money that the wealthiest receive”.

“CEOs that 60 years ago might have been making four to six times more than what the workers are receiving … 600 times more [now],” the pontiff said in excerpts of the interview conducted by Elise Ann Allen, a senior correspondent with the Catholic newspaper Crux as part of a forthcoming biography.

Earlier this month, the board of the electric car maker Tesla said it had proposed a new trillion-dollar pay package for Musk, its chief executive and largest shareholder, if he hit targets set by the company.

Outlining the incentive package, which is unprecedented in corporate history, in a stock market update, the company said: “Yes, you read that correctly.”

The pope, who turned 70 on Sunday, has so far shown to be much more low-key than his predecessor, even if they shared similar progressive political views.

Francis often clashed with the US president, Donald Trump, over his hardline immigration policies, while Leo, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost, also criticised Trump’s policies on his X account before becoming pope.

There was a massive leak of technical documents and source code from the great firewall project in the PRC on the 11th. Seems interesting.

I know its a bit of a hot topic but I've always seen people (online anyways) are either a hard yes or absolutely no on using AI. There are many types of "AI" that have already been part of technology before this hype, I'm talking about LLMs specifically (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc...). When this bubble burst its absolutely not going anywhere. I'm wondering if there is case where you've personally used it and found it beneficial (not something you've read or seen somewhere). The ethics of essentially stealing vast amount of data for training without compensation or enshitification of products with "AI" is a whole other topic but there is absolutely no way that the use of the technology itself is not beneficial somehow. Like everything else divisive the truth is definitely somewhere in the middle. I've been using lumo from proton for the last three weeks and its not bad. I've personally found it useful in helping me troubleshoot issues, search or just use it to help with applying for jobs:

• its very good at looking past SEO slop plaguing the internet and it just gets me the information I need. I've tried alternative search engine (mojeek, startpage, searXNG, DDG, Qwant, etc...) Most of them unfortunately aren't very good or are just another way to use google or bing.
• I was having some wifi problem on a pc i was setting up and i couldn't figure out why. i told it exactly what was happening with my computer along with exact specs. It gave gave me some possible reasons and some steps to try and analyze my computer it was very very useful.
• I've been applying for so many jobs and it so exhausting to read hundreds of description see one tiny thing in the middle that disqualifies me so I pass it my resume with links and tell it to compare what i say on my resume and what the job is looking for to see if im a fit. When i find a good job i ask rewriting tips to better focus on what will stand out to a recruiter (or an application filtering system to be real).

I guess what I'm trying to say is it cant all be bad.
