  • OP is referring to specifically tracking in apps. Yes Firefox gives gyro data, but apps have no access to it, only web sites do. Safari can be embedded in apps and thus they can get gyro data. Websites have less system permissions than apps (run in background etc) and you’d be using a store app for example while shopping, they’d be able to track that data more than a web site would.






  • You asked for personal setups so I’ll answer with what i have. Jellyfin does my video stuff. TV, movie etc. And for audio I use navidrome. I tried to use jelly for all of it but the music playback sucked (for me). Navidrome is subsonic api compatiable and gives you more options for clients therefore. I even wrote my own tui player :)

    If I were you I’d set up jellyfin (not exposed to the internet) and see how it goes. If the music work then awesome, you have a one stop shop for all your media. If not, then add navi on top.

    Have fun :)



  • A lot of good stuff here. Especially realising how useful an LLM actually is for coding. It’s a tool and like most tools has a purpose and a limit. I don’t use a screwdriver to put in nails (well sometimes I do at a pinch, but the results suck) or cut wood in half. Spicy autocomplete is probably a good use case, but even then “use with care” should be employed.

    The whole “prompt it correctly” stuff is pn point. People have written books on how to correctly and effectively prompt the LLM. If I need to read a book to learn something, why not just read the book on how to do the thing? Or use the LLM to summarise the book, then at least you’re going to get somewhat accurate information. We had someone create an AGENTS.md at work and I read it and it just sounds like a joke “You are expert in this and the human known everything. If unsure ask the human” etc. If the main gain is that I don’t need to type so much I might as well use voice dictation.

    That is aside the financial, environmental, health, and safety issues and damages that are all bundled in for free. If people just saw it for what it is, instead of glamourising them as the panacea for all their problems.
