Having tried both Swift and Rust - you can hardly compare them. For me Rust is in a different league. Swift is a modernization and a step forward compared to ObjC, but Rust is a different paradigm altogether. Swift has IMO done a great job for Apple as a platform, but has not achieved universality and had not transcended the platform. Rust has achieved universality, but has not captured any platform in particular yet. Both have not and may never replace C/C++, though my biased opinion is rust may have a chance (at least with C++)

on GrapheneOS project: pixel 11 no longer supports hardware memory tagging (MTE); GrapheneOS might skip the the whole pixel 11 series in c/technology@lemmy.world · 31 Aug 2026
I really hope so. 200k is peanuts for google, but probably significant for Motorola.

Honestly, I expect it will become increasingly hard getting a company willing to do something like this. Lately, all of the companies have started heavily enshittifying and I don’t know many that still care about their customers. And it’s a domino effect - they know you ain’t going anywhere, all the others are just as shit. I remember a time where you had a 100 phones officially supported by Lineageos and were cheap. You could get a Xiaomi, Huawei for like a $100 and they would run lineageos almost out of the box. Or a Nexus 5 for a few extra bucks. As soon as they eliminated the competition, they’ve become closed entirely and are basically spying machines. I don’t trust Motorola will be trustworthy in the long term, if they capture any market. Just a few months ago, they were caught hijacking affiliate links on their phones (link). I don’t know when the consumer situation will change, but I’m not holding my breath for Motorola. Of course, if they make a good phone running GOS, I might try it if my pixel kicks the bucket.

True, People can be obnoxious. But you should still try it at some point, there is something to the hype.

on Amazon Caught Destroying Rare Books to Train AI in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Aug 2026
Yeah, you know that episode where Homer does pranks for Mr Burns and goes in and buys a no 1 spiderman from the comic book guy and eats it in front of him. That’s how most people feel about book destruction. Nothing legally wrong, but disgusting nonetheless.

on How AI text watermarking works: a visual guide in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Aug 2026
It works for them not scraping their own slop back into training data. I assume that is actually the real purpose of the system. They don’t want to share the key with the public. But they probably will with other llm companies in exchange for theirs.

on Some Claude users are mad that Anthropic’s new watermarks will catch them using it at their jobs, classes in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Aug 2026
My tinfoil head tells me they don’t want to ingest their own slop for training. But this only helps them if others do the same. Data poisoning is a real problem for llm future.

This won’t work - you can always use a dumber, open model to rephrase and remove the watermark. All this does is marketing for anthropic, which I see most people are buying. Gives you a false impression you will easily be able to figure out if it’s done by AI, which it is not. Liars are still gonna lie, cheaters still gonna cheat.

on Meta to open source its most powerful AI model as it takes swipe at OpenAI, Anthropic in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Aug 2026
Endgame is training data is audited and ethically or at least legally acquired for ALL companies making models.
I agree on everything you’ve said. Rust hype is a bit annoying and can be off putting. AI bros seem to have amplified the effect and I strongly dislike it. GUI is probably the worst area of Rust, but given the universality of Rust, I think it’s expected. I found egui easy to use, though, but far from swift ui, still.
