So we know there are types and interfaces. One support declaration merging, one does not. Both can extend others, but in different ways. But why? Why there are two of them? When should I use them? Is one better than the other?
Determining the motivation for design decisions is outside the scope of what any external party can and/or should do. The most the author could do is echo what's in the docs (if present), or give their own guess on why things are the way they are.
But you still can use Thunderbird for that. I recommend it no matter what mail provider is used. Web interfaces are so heavy nowadays, compared to that, Thunderbird feels so fast.
yes, so I can search my emails solely on my laptop if I install proton bridge and synchronize 50GB of emails. And in case you have ever tried to search 50GB of data with thunderbird, it’s slow.
I tried synchronising the data directly in the browser, without any email client and the search is mediocre and slow.
This is not a great experience for search.
But again, it’s not a critique of Proton, it’s just how it is with E2EE. At least it demonstrate they are really doing E2EE.
I still hope some time in the future homomorphic encryption will help, but I think we are at least a decade away from that.
Absolutely not. Privacy risk depends on how well protected is the weakest point in your network. So if one of the participants' device is compromised then the entire discussion is compromised too.
On closed, proprietary platform you just cut off the weakest point from access to the data when you suspect it is not protected enough, as data it lies on a single server. On mailing list you can't do anything, because data lies on somebody's else's server
I think it might be the same as with programmers. It might look like AI Agents can do all the programming, but when you actually try to use it do do things it quickly turns out to be not so much reliable.
I theory you could install some kind of TPM-like device to every hardware that signs the data with key generated by manufacturer. Should be designed in such a way that it is very easy to break it when trying to tamper with it
1. Viral LLM-based game will be released, new trend emerges
2. Sora-like (AI generated) content floods Internet, significant advancements in that field
2a. Maybe a new kind of addictive video content generator is being released. Possibly for porn
3. AI generated music becomes popular and takes significant market share on Spotify (but it's going to be a music meant to play "in the background", like in supermarket)
4. Significant competitor to Google Search becomes popular. Mostly because of Internet becoming closed due to crawlers gathering data for training. Much less data available publicly, rise of "closed gardens".
5. SpaceX successfully launches payload to orbit with Starship and catches both stages.
6. Much more debris on Earth's orbit, dangerous incident in space because of that
7. VR remains a niche
8. More and more users start using voice to control their personal computers
I don't think it's the main reason. People don't care whether someone is selling stuff they create on a platform. Big social media has been doing it for many years now e.g. Facebook and yet it's still there. You come to SO for answers, why would you care that someone is teaching some LLM on them later?
> You come to SO for answers, why would you care that someone is teaching some LLM on them later?
This doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. The people who would be concerned are the ones who are providing answers. They are not coming to SO solely to get answers.
Both of those platforms are making answers harder to find. For me, a person used to getting the correct answer in Stackoverflow right away, scrolling through endless GitHub discussions is a nightmare. Aren't we just moving backwards?
SO lost it's appeal, can't say exactly why, but it often has outdated content. I cannot say I get the correct answer there right away.
Each platform fills different role, GitHub is project specific and access to maintainers, who do not monitor SO. Discord is chat, with maintainers and community. SO misses the connection to the people building and using the software, it's more like the Quora of software nowadays. That Discord and GitHub have terrible search is not detracting from their other benefits
