From the article: In this article I’m not going to include the admittedly cool browsh, because...

These browsers are cool but I didn't know about browsh [1]. That one is also really cool. Thanks!

If you live in a suitable city, there is an even simpler solution. Just walk to wherever place you need to go.

Unfortunately, the century of individual automobile ownership has made most cities unsuitable for this natural mode of transportation.

I think this is a lost cause. Even if the mainstream services are blocked or forced to comply, there will always be hundreds of lesser-known tools and services offering the same features. At this point, nobody has the power to close this can of worms.

Besides, who is going to decide when people's images are sexualized enough? Are images of Elon Musk in bikini alright because he's not a woman or a child?

Didn't he consent?

> More or less the same thing.

Worse. The AI doesn't share any responsibility.

And can’t be mentored by the senior except in some ersatz flat text instruction files.

And the mistakes AI makes don't carry the same code smells juniors make. There are markers in human code that signals how well they understood the problem, AI code more often looks correct at a glance even if it's horribly problematic.

Yeah, this is a big thing. AIs (at the moment) don't learn. You wait for a new model to come out and hope it is better than the last one. But that isn't the same thing as a person learning over time.

> AIs (at the moment) don't learn.

Yes, and even when it learns (because there's new version of the AI model) it doesn't learn according to your company/team's values. Those values might be very specific to your business model.

Currently, AI (LLM) is just a tool. It's a novel and apparently powerful tool. But it's still just a tool.

> Do you take into account the iPhone not holding the original images of every photo?

If you have enough storage space on your iPhone, you can select "Download and Keep Originals" in the photo app settings.

There is one class of languages missing in the comparison: Programming golf languages: E.g. Japt [1], Pyth [2] or Jelly [3].

Update: I noticed that the author mentions that "APL's famous terseness isn't a plus for LLMs." Isn't that just a design limitation of the LLM tokenizers?

Ah, the good old "it's not perfect, therefore everything is meaningless" argument.

Because there will be someone trying to do bad things, we shouldn't bothering stopping anyone from doing bad things?

Don't kill the messenger. I didn't say we shouldn't try. I'm saying that this will be a whack-a-mole problem and banning one mainstream service won't solve it.

EMWM is really nice. Too bad that Wyaland will make alternative WMs like this one very hard to use and obsolete in the long run.

There was some barebones X server runnng on top of Wayland.

If I have to suffer that in a near future, I want my CWM setup working like before.

Wayland isn't going to become defacto until this difficulty disappears.

X "just works" well enough for too many use cases

From the project describtion: "Looking for MAINTAINER for this project"

Honestly, Apple should officially maintain tools like this. However, for obvious reasons, such as the iCloud subscription revenue model, Apple will not do it. In fact, Apple may even make life harder for such tools.

I’m in the midst of a backup-to-local project and, with this post to HN, I’m worried an Apple project manager will be on a mission this morning to get his team to cripple this software.

> My current process for offloading photos off the iPhone

I'm not sure about Linux, but my workflow on Windows and MacOS is to frequently back up my iPhone locally (which you should do anyway because few incorrect PINs can security lock your phone [1]) and use utility like backup extractor (e.g. [2] but there are many others) to extract all photos from the backup. This effectively removes the need to use iCloud.
