I'm on this path too. Waiting a few more months to see what happens. If they indeed block my 4 apps on my phone (which aren't published anywhere), I will simply move to Apple.

I have adhd too, but cannot use stimulant medications (they are too strong). I've had to use non-stim meds. What if long term caffeine use causes some of the adhd symptoms? It interesting to ponder because if I stop using caffeine for

I've had the same experience. Caffeine is super addicting, the ritual & habits surrounding it is a potent pull. For myself, it makes me erratic, impulsive, more reactive and agitated. One cup a day puts me on edge, makes me sweat m

This is so dumb. There are 100 other ways to protect children that would be more effective than this. Not only will this approach not actually protect children, this will violate the privacy of billions of people. It will introduce identity

What is so magical about it? Most of them are pretty straight forward and core functionality easy to replicate in 30 minutes or less?

Nope, I just dump it all in a folder (~/scripts) that claude can read & it picks them up as skills. A good chunk of them are regex based, many are find/replace type tools, some are small code generators & template inflator

This is exactly what I do too. Works very well. I have a whole bunch of scripts and cli tools that claude can use, most of them was built by claude too. I very rarely need to use my IDE because of this, as I've replicated some of Jetbr

claude can use worktrees.. so if you have a system with say 10 agents, each one can use a worktree per session.. no need to clone the the repo 10 times or work on branches. Worktreeees.

So.. worktrees?

Honestly, don't use debian for gaming, as it is too far behind. Gaming stuff needs a bit more bleeding edge packages. I use Fedora + KDE and everything just works. Fedora's packages are at most a month behind but usually get updat

Good job google. You just convinced our entire business to abandon our app (utilities company) and only target web. We are done with this shit. All our resources the next two weeks will be to fill in the gaps in our web clientzone so our th

The only reason why I mentioned the brand, is because most of their battery systems have the yellow solar port - so you can plug solar directly into the system, some have two ports. They also have built-in inverters, so you can plug the lap

Why would someone down vote this comment? Its perfectly reasonable to reuse old hardware with broken components (screens, keyboards) into server/passive devices that sits in the corner and still being useful, instead of going to the tr

If you can afford it, a small or medium ecoflow battery and one or two 200W solar panels with solve a ton of your issues in India, if nobody steals it. I'm in Africa and have frequent load shedding too, and I've replaced so many d

You know what this means right? Turn this old man into a server (remove battery for safety). It will work for many more years.

There are many other open source projects that gets used that never sees the spotlight like Wine does, but they are crucial too. Think audio codecs & processing, compression libs, networking libs, even sqlite. Our society depends on the

Get a mini-pc with 2x LAN ports + a mediatek Wifi 6/7 module. Install Proxmox. Make 3 VM's: OpenWrt (or router firmware of choice), unbound and adguard home. Plug your fibre into lan port, plug rest of network into other lan port.

This extends past linux. Open source projects get used broadly regardless of runtime environment. Steam is just one open nerve ending where this could be used for good and they have the power to do so (and from what we've seen, steam s

So the steam devs can most likely produce a finite list of all their dependencies. They can then take a day or two to score each one with a weight. Then they use the weights to determine how to split the funds. Or they can have an open sour

Steam devs if you are reading this: add a checkbox on your checkout screen that will allow me to donate 10% or a flat amount with each purchase, that will go directly to your upstream opensource dependencies like Wine & friends. I would

Now if only Steam would add a checkbox on their checkout page to add 10% donation/tip that goes directly to their upstream opensource dependencies (like the Wine team), that would be amazing! I would add extra money on every purchase t

Just want to say, thanks for the comprehensive blog post and not treating the reader like children. You did a great job explaining the differences & changes. I wish more product/project releases were done this well.

Another take: People are not getting scammed because of side-loading (or not knowing your demographics/biometrics). People are getting scammed because of ignorance & stupidity & lack of common sense. In a way, its just nature r
