I use openrouter for my of my paid online calls, when setting up API keys you get to set a budget. Easy. It's also pre-paid so unless I turn on auto-charge for my credit card (which is off by default) it will never blow more than I've already loaded. Two layers of safety are better than one.

That's why I refuse to use most cloud API keys. The API keys always default to take the money first. Anthropomorphic already has their money. They're not getting it back.

I'm just a home user and worry that if my security slipped for one moment over my entire life, my keys would be leaked and I'd see a surprise $1k Google cloud bill.

Isn't there a saying for this? If you owe a bank $10,000, it's your problem. If you owe a bank $100 million, it's their problem.

“Sorry Jim, we just don’t have it in the budget to give you a raise.”

Please do

African Intelligence 🤝 Actually Indians

Aye to make sure they can spy on us they've left us all vulnerable to everyone else as well. The NSA and their ilk covertly made sure everything was corrupted, as per the Snowden Files. They have their priorities all screwed up.

What a friendly country! And people think i'm crazy when I try to avoid buying Chinese stuff as much as I can.

Satellite communications giant Viasat was also compromised, allowing hackers to gain access to tools used by law enforcement to access the communications of others.

Yeah let's keep installing surveillance backdoors guys it's safe surely.

Scumbag move right here.

Edit: Also why feeling so insecure over their dominance they have to ban people from using whatever frontend they want?

This unsung material, known as Ajinomoto Build-up Film (ABF), has become the invisible backbone of the AI revolution, enabling the cutting-edge performance and energy efficiency that powers today’s most advanced neural networks

Exaggeration much? Sure, it might be an important component, but I doubt the industry will collapse overnight if they stop selling it. There are probably substitutes or alternative solutions.

The article reads like AI slop. I wonder if this is some market manipulation thing?

Do they sell to China or does China make this for their own chips?

Sketchy looking site (seems entirely AI generated) but interesting article regardless.

So while the world was worrying about the Red Chinese monopolising the rare-earths, a Japanese ramen company and a Japanese toilet manufacturer have quietly established a grip on chipmaking materials?

They tried, and that's admirable. Some things aren't meant to work out though.

free component libraries like shadcn/ui, daisyUI, and HyperUI killed Tailwind UI’s paid component business. shadcn/ui exploded in popularity by offering free, copy-paste components with no npm installation required

... the article makes a big thing about AI being the cause, and then says "oh yeah and this other thing too". Not obvious whether it would've happened without AI generated CSS as well.

It is a federation issue. Mbin made a change recently and I had to change some code in PieFed to stop this issue from occurring there. The Lemmy devs need to do the same, or Mbin needs to undo their change.

Glad I moved to Zen a while back, for the UI, but they seem to have their heads screwed on right. One upside here is that it'll breathe a lot of life into firefox forks...

I'm posting from Fedia and am not picking an image at all, so it definitely feels like a federation issue.

EDIT: See https://lemmy.today/post/44634337

It's a limitation of Lemmy itself. Either link OR image for a post, not both. And you can put whatever you want in the body.

Not a federation issue. Limitation of Lemmy. Lemmy doesn't support link AND image in the same post "header". One or the other.

You can do a custom thumbnail and a link OR you can do an image.

And with either, you can put whatever the hell you want in the post body.

But the "header" (can't really think of a better term, sorry) is image OR link.

I've brought it up to the Lemmy devs that they desparately need to make this limitation clearer, at the very least in the Lemmy UI. They said they need to see an example of a better UI because they couldn't figure it out themselves. Can't make this shit up. Just clear out one when you fill in the other. Red warning message. Anything to make it fucking clearer. It shouldn't be tough, but here we are.

It is, there might be a federation issue if you aren't seeing it.

yes. https://www.quippd.com/writing/2026/01/06/architecting-consent-for-ai-deceptive-patterns-in-firefox-link-previews.html

The link is not shown in Lemmy for some reason.

Here's the link: https://www.quippd.com/writing/2026/01/06/architecting-consent-for-ai-deceptive-patterns-in-firefox-link-previews.html

A similar issue happened a while ago: https://lemmy.today/post/44634337

Is supposed to be a link to an article or something?

I mean, there is Nebula, wich seems to be the exact thing you are looking. There are also a mit of great creators on there and if you get a discount (pretty mich every crestor on there has a 40% off discount link), you get it from 30 dollars a month.
