It doesnt fall under unfair advantage because partners like samsung are on the same level because they too get updates sooner ( through deals with google ). However, this will be a huge blow towards custom roms like lineageos that will now be way behind on updates compared to the rest.

But in the eyes of companies and manufacturers they arent competitors, they are leaches.

And before anyone flame against me, im typing this from lineageos, and will do so for a loooong time

This is why i played around with mcp over the holidays. The fact its a standard to allow an ai to talk to an api is kinda cool. And nothing is stopping you from making the api do some ai call in itself.
Personally, i find the tech behind ai’s, and even llm’s, super interesting but companies are just fucking it up and pushing it way ti fucking hard and in ways its not meant to be -_-
Thanks for the info and ill have to look into those non-llm ai’s :)

Oh derp, misread sorry! Now im curious though, what ai alternatives are there that are decent in processing/using a neural network?

Debatable. The basics of an llm might not need much, but the actual models do need it to be anywhere near decent or usefull. Im talking minutes for a simple reply.
Source: ran few <=5b models on my system with ollama yesterday and gave it access to a mcp server to do stuff with

Derp, misread. sorry!

As much as i hate ai, and dont want it in any of my tools and programs, as a business it is a different thing.
I believe it is a bubble and it needs to burst so bad atm, but as a business you do not want to be left behind on the hype train. Its a risk you are taking if you dont, and that if the bubble doesnt burst ( which it might not ) your company is left in the dust and dies.

The more reasons i want it to pop, because businesses are not taking the risk (obviously) and its killing their program for me

And boooyyyy did it get worse haha

Same.
I played rewind and im very patiently waiting for updates but boy am i excited for more updates because so far this is solid!

Nope. The ui framework doesnt support linux at all. None of its cross platform claases and enums have linux. Its stupid because .net and aspcore just work on linux…

Avalon is actually xaml and cross platform. Personally id rather have a razor format of gui code, but xaml is a good second. Its basically what maui was suppose to be

Winforms of all things haha. Eeuw xD
But thats flipping awesome and i love it! I know xamarin was wpf being cross platform with mono, but thats a dead horse thanks to microsoft haha

LOL, didnt know maui naming was taken before. Hilarious

.net
.net cli apps are cross platform and can be portable :p
Gui in .net isnt fully cross platform ( maui is everything except linux ) but frameworks like avalonia ( .net ) and imgui fix all that :')

And that macos often breaks things because of new access/‘security’ policies hehe.

Also, to counter all of this : c++ & qt or .net and avalonia (because maui doesnt support linux… )

Ah, i see. Ye it can be interpreted in different ways, and reading the proposal might clear it up, but i doubt it. Its written extremely vague on purpose

Id need to look for it again, but i remember reading she was saying that the current proposal is vague in what it sees as required to prevent what she calls risks. I remember them asking her multiple times if she was against a law to prevent csa and the sharing there off, in which she replied multiple times that she was not, but that the law was too vague about what it constitutes as necessary to prevent it. Did i dream it? ><

Edit: found it!

Mevrouw Kathmann (GroenLinks-PvdA):
Het is niet per se alleen zo dat de huidige praktijk wordt voortgezet. Er zitten bijvoorbeeld ook zinnen in het voorstel die aangeven dat álle risico's moeten worden weggenomen. Het is ongelofelijk vaag, een heel grijs gebied, wat dat betekent. Dat is één. Dat is echt een heel groot risico. Daarnaast noemde de heer Van Houwelingen net al het punt van de leeftijdsverificatie. We hebben niet goed met elkaar kunnen bespreken wat daar nou precies in voorligt en hoe wij daar verder mee om moeten gaan. Dit zijn twee dingen die ik er nu zo uitpik.

I recommend reading the dutch debate : https://www.tweedekamer.nl/kamerstukken/plenaire_verslagen/detail/2025-2026/17

And yes, the latter is currently a thing (but in a weaker form) but will no longer be allowed in april 2026, which is why this law is getting pushed so hard. Currently chats can be asked by police/interpol/… But they need good reasons, and the results can be varying because chat platforms like signal do not keep chat messages/stuff.
The new law forces them to have systems in place to catch or have data for law inforcements. It just allows for ‘any system to get the needed info’, it no longer says chat scanning is needed directly, but is rather indirectly which is as stupid and bad as before.

The later. However, they could still be fines for not doing what is needed to reduce “the risks of the of the chat app”, whatever the fuck that can mean when talking about illegal.content

I agree! It is ! Its clearly in pre release state and needs a lot of work but its basis is right there!

Played it, its timesplitters alright. Story is only ts1, arcade is a bit limited and ai isnt always the smartest, has bugs but the base is there. Its timesplitters, with all its awesomeness
