    Yes, I prefer an Email/password, too, so to depend less on third-parties, and keep it more transparent.

    Yet, OAuth/OpenID is significantly easier legally and financially than Email processing (even via outsourced services as MailChimp) and store someone’s personal information as Email address in databases, if compared to a social account ID, in long term.

    Not only that, but OAuth providers have APIs to get sufficient User information, and regularly actualize, including: Name, Email (yet, by requested/allowed scope only), activity on that social network as posts/channels/followers count etc., which may be a requirement for their Staff/algorithms to determine the priorities for transactions/support and/or security involved.







  • Holy smokes! Now this is a pure miracle exposed! An X200 Lenovo ThinkPad! ✨

    I have Debian with AwesomeWM on non-tablet awesome ThinkPad X201 i7 620M, chassis 3249CTO, I pre-purhased in 2010, and it works as a charm with KDE Plasma latest even! <3

    Magnificent support for every single hardware module… iwlwifi for the Wi-Fi, Gobi 2000 SIM and GPS, too… Everything…

    On X200, though, I would start with a minimal latest Debian install with AwesomeWM, too, and tried benchmarking.

    No, thank you. Sorry, never.

    Not only that, but the huge probability of mistakes is just deafening. The last time I used LLM was in 2023 someone recommended for a task at paper work, and I got a literal headache in 10 minutes… Since then I never ever will use that sorrow for anything that is not for blackbox pentesting or experimental unverified data generated you may find in medicine or military isolated solutions.

    That deafening feel that every single bit of output from that LLM or void machine may contain a mistake no soul is accountable for to ask about… A generated bit of someone’s work you just cannot verify since no source nor human is available… How would you trace the rationale that resulted in the output shown?

    Faster? Is that so… Doesn’t verification of every output require even more time to test it and consider stable, to prove it is correct, to stay accountable for the knowledge and actions you perform as a developer, artist, researcher… human?

    Your mind is to be trained to do a research, remember, and do not depend on someone’s service to a level of predominance/replacement.
    Meanwhile, effort, passion, creativity, empathy, and love, in turn, you carry, supports in long-term.

    You may not care now, though, but you do you. It’s your mind and memory you develop.
