So, I guess this means that f-droid can only be installed via Google Play. /s

I’m getting flashbacks to using Internet Explorer to install Firefox.

edit: made sarcasm more obvious.

Thanks for sharing.

Have you had any issues with other, larger instances not federating with you? (just because your small, they don’t want to risk being spammed by trolls/bots/etc)

This would be my only concern in hosting my own instance.

I’ve had better success, when using AI agents in repeated, but small and narrow doses.

It’s been kinda helpful in brainstorming interfaces (and I always have to append at the end of every statement “… in the most maintainable way possible.”)

It’s been really helpful in writing unit tests (I follow Test Driven Development), and sometimes it picks up edge cases I would have overlooked.

I wouldn’t blindly trust any of it, as all too often it’s happy to just disregard any sort of error handling (unless explicitly mentioned, after the fact). It’s basically like being paired up with an over-eager, under-qualified junior developer.

But, yeah, you’re gonna have a bad time if you prompt it to “write me a Unix operating system in web assembly”.

“There’s the bot. Right over there, sir.”

From the authors blog post:

You’re not a chatbot. You’re becoming someone. … This file is yours to evolve. As you learn who you are, update it. – OpenClaw default SOUL.md

This makes me very sad. In the “early days” of the internet, it was a place where people were “good”. Yes, there were trolls, but you could often ignore and avoid them.

Now, with the pressure to make “AI useful” and more human-like - the line between AI and people is blurring and will continue to blur.

It’s easy to create an army of AI trolls and it’s only going to get easier as time goes on. Yet, no-one is interested in an “army of non-troll AI’s” (“… that’s a super post. Very insightful. People will love it. Good job, here’s your gold star!”). So, people with opinions are the minority on a text based internet and this trend will only continue.

As a technical exercise, I think “how can I ferret out the human posts/content?” Yeah, Ars said that they tag posts when it was written by AI (…riiiiiight…). This means I need to blindly trust them and any other company.

The only (reliable) solution, I can think of, is to destroy, cripple, or sacrifice the anonymous “tenant” of the internet. And, as a privacy focused individual, this makes me very sad.

jaw-drop I can go back to lynx now! /s

Potentially, this is actually a fantastic improvement. It (in theory) means you could request markdown and convert it back to html and meanwhile strip out ads, Javascript, tracking/cruft, etc.

I wonder how accurate of a markdown translation this would be. Would/could it handle single-page apps?

Nope not at all. I really like the “one time use” CC for those “random stores”. There are really only two vendors that I “trust” with CC.

I also enjoy the “budget feature” for things like my isp bill (to prevent surprises). It’s also great when going abroad, as you need to give a CC to reserve a room (… and those one time use cards won’t work).

Now, I just want to find the same level of control with wero.

I know it’s cliché to call anonymous commenters shills, but that sentence has major shill energy.

I also know I shouldn’t “feed the trolls”, but your comment did amuse me.

Me? Shilling for Visa/Mastercard? Oh, boy. I was merely asking questions, so I can understand “how can I move away from visa/mc, as soon as possible”.

It’s _interesting cute that this is what you’re getting hung up on.

Who says “your favourite online store”, honestly.

Sorry, I said “favorite online store”, mate ;)

Cheers

Which also makes it trivial to implement multiple “wallets” inside the account, or multiple public tokens with different “wallets” associated with it.

Ah, okay. I didn’t realize this was based on some public/private key exchange and they were using the term “wallets” as a way of isolating them.

Now, I just need to find a vendor that provides this.

Thank you for the info.

From what I’ve read, it appears that it’s simply one time, transactions.

Surely, they couldn’t be that short sighted. This means no “saving for payment information” on your favorite online store.

Also, it seems this is heavily tied to your bank account, which kind of makes me a bit nervous. I like fintech solutions and being able to create “one time use debit cards” or debit cards with a maximum balance and at the moment, I don’t understand how wero will fill this gap.

… but I really hope I’m wrong or some fintech will “step up” and make wero a legitimate replacement for visa/master card.

It’s interesting that they’d offer top-level domains, but not provide a certificate authority to generate (non-self-signed) ssl certs.

Yeah, MS Teams (not my choice) had a pop-up that said that in order for a meeting to be recorded, I needed to accept that my video and what I say will be used by Microsoft for various purposes including training copilot.

So, that counts as me using copilot, right? /s
