• Biden signs TikTok 'ban' bill into law, starting clock for ByteDance to divest

  Yea caught me, I self reported to try and trick everyone. Jokes aside my comment was based on net neutrality if you don’t remember https://duckduckgo.com/?q=net+neitrality+bot+comments Some of the stuff that really chipped at our privacy as our isps got to sell our dns pings to advertisers and social media.

• DuckDuckGo AI Chat

  AI Chat is separate from the search engine. On the search engine we have DuckAssist, which is currently grounded in Wikipedia (more sources coming): https://duckduckgo.com/?q=what+is+the+stoichiometric+ratio+between+2NO2+and+N2O4&atb=v311-1-wb&ia=web. - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• DuckDuckGo AI Chat

  That's one way of looking at it. Another way is that your PII like your IP hitting a MS server and searches being returned for that searcher are heavily correlated. They can't serve results like https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=shops+near+me&ia=web and return shops within miles of me without passing that info on. - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• Microsoft killed my favorite keyboard

  That one is good, but I detest keyboards with their own magic little dongle since it's a damn fine thing to misplace I'm surprised OP didn't enjoy https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-ergonomic-keyboard/90pnc9ljwpx9?activetab=pivot:overviewtab which is currently listed as out of stock but I dunno if that means "permanently" or what, but they seem to be available via 3rd party channels Its "klacking" aside,... - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago

• Ask HN: Where are all the touch-based art forms?

  Sculpture can be tactile. I know it's not purely tactile, but thinking of it in that way is becoming a lot more common (eg at the Louvre). And then I went to find a URL for the tactile dome at the Exploratorium in San Francisco (https://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/tactile-dome) and it turns out there are lots of tactile galleries now: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=tactile+gallery&t=fpas&ia=web. - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

• Ubuntu 24.04 Beta Delayed Due to XZ Nightmare

  Https://duckduckgo.com/?q=pushed+forward+vs+pushed+back&t=fpas&ia=web No, people commonly say "pushed back" for moving to a later date. I agree it's a bit like "press" and "depress". - Source: Hacker News / 22 days ago

• Unprivileged application is able to bypass GNOME Lockscreen

  Have to agree that this isn't a bug. It rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=site%3Adevblogs.microsoft.com+It+rather+involved+being+on+the+other+side+of+this+airtight+hatchway&ia=web. - Source: Hacker News / 27 days ago

• Warn HN: DuckDuckGo is doing AI summaries for search results now?

  Searching for "steam deck gamescope"[0], the first search result looked suspiciously autosummarized[1]. Refreshing the page seems to generate new summaries every time, for the exact same query[2][3]. None of these quotes appear in the page itself[4], in the content or source code. There is no warning that this is happening, nor can I see a way to turn it off. Curiously, it only seems to happen for the first... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Django REST framework: 3.15.0 Release (Django 5.0 support)

  By magic I mean the complexity brought on by the heavy use of metaclasses, patterns employed via convention rather than enforced by code (implying that you have to read enough of the code before you understand the patterns) and other similar leaky abstractions. Don't get me wrong, I do think Django is one of those deep modules[1] where the interface makes it a pleasure to work with but the internals do need... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Web bloat impacts users with slow devices
