Why is Big Tech so afraid of AI regulation?

Big Tech continues to push for no AI regulation and it is having an impact. They want us to forget the damage done by the lack of regulation of user profiling. Instead they argue that regulating user profiling and AI would be a disaster. Clearly they are having some success with this strategy.

Hopefully regulators will fight back, but in the meantime, you have a choice when it comes to OS and browsers. Choose the one that does not force AI on you.

Terrible UI behavior in the Apple macOS app store app (v3.0):

When writing an app review, the return key does not create a line break. Return does nothing on first press and submits on the second press, even though the focus does not visibly change and the submit button is not highlighted. You must use shift+return to insert a line break. 🤦

30 Years!

Can you imagine?

This Friday, December 5, 2025, we will celebrate the amazing 30 year anniversary of my #NeoFinder for #macOS!

Imagine! I am totally exhilarated by this, and I fondly remember the first lines of code I wrote for CDFinder back in the days...

It seems like most every other browser is all in on AI. We have chosen a different path at @Vivaldi

If you would prefer AI not to be integrated into your browser, but still like a feature rich browser, I welcome you to try Vivaldi.

At @Vivaldi we tend to take a stand when it comes to technologies that are in use in our industry.

We have been clear from the start that we believe crypto currencies have no place in this world. Nothing that has happened during these last few years has changed our minds. Rather the opposite. What is your take?

For those of you tolerating Liquid Glass and the quite horrific Safari redesign on mobile/tablet: Kagi’s Orion browser actually seems to be an awesome full replacement. No complaints so far. Easy access to tab management, no weirdly hidden buttons or menus you need to tap multiple times to see fully. As a bonus, it has built-in filter support as well as several great Firefox and Chrome plug-ins. And Kagi’s search is optional. In fact you have more search options than in Safari. #iOS #iPadOS #macOS

Just found this cool tiny helper app: Syntax Highlight. It enables #syntax highlighting in #macOS's #quickview! I was actually just searching for sth that would enable the preview of #yaml files. Now I can preview pretty much any code file directly in #Finder/ #PathFinder 😊👌
