The "crypto bullshit" which is a notice on the start page with an option to permanently remove and turn it off. I swear people slating Brave here haven't actually even installed it. Oh and its opensource, not like theres anyt

And that makes it better why? Come on, this is pretty low hanging fruit.

If you think Braves just 'reskinned chrome' you've clearly not used it.

The 'crypto grifting' is something you can turn off completely, it's there as a way to make the browser sustainable without accepting payments from Google to make it the default search engine. I'd argue its far more trus

See to me the "running my own company with a payroll bigger than my old day job" isn't something I'd want - it actually sounds like a total nightmare to me. The whole point to me is getting to a stage where you can work

It is very hard to have any sympathy, they stole stolen material from people known to not care they are stealing.

Yup, Figma is likely to become the next Adobe. Shareholders are vastly more important than consumers as we all sadly know.

Ours is going the other way and wanting people not to use it. A losing battle but the people making decisions are a bit fuddy duddy about this sort of stuff, we just keep getting links posted about how much energy it consumes talking to cha

Out of interest how long ago was this? The Covent Garden and Oxford street ones literally have a queue line for pickups and purchases over in the far right. Not 100% sure how long Oxford street has had theirs (at least since Xmas) but I kno

Their flagship shops (Especially London) are really not places you go to buy on a whim, it's why they have a booking and collection process - yes it might suck but its by far one of their busiest shops.

Cursor became awful over the last few weeks so it's likely them, no idea what they did to their prompt but its just been incredibly poor at most tasks regardless of which model you pick.

This is pretty interesting, I had a very similar experience with Github Copilot's plugin inside Jetbrains IDE today (set to use 4o). I asked it to tell me how to do something, it instead routed in my code, tried to write a python file

Because Steam Workshop is only for games on Steam's shop, distributed by valve. That locks out huge chunks of your audience. If anything its good thats not taken off otherwise we'd have EpicMods, GogMods, etc and even more fragmen

Nothings forcing you to replace them, they'll still work on Tahoe. Also 2020 is the last Intel models. Late 2025 is the Tahoe release, and then you get 3 years of updates, meaning a total of 8 years of software updates for that 2020 ma

The only feature? Like across the entire OS? Pretty broad. If you were right then adoption would be orders of magnitude higher.

I think it depends on the usecase (and budget) as to what's 'best' really. I've got Proxmox running on a couple of servers and it's great. But I also run Unraid on the main NAS server purely for its ZFS drive setup.

Pihole isn't, and hasn't been able to block youtube ads for several years now, so if you aren't seeing ads its something else stopping them. Ads are served from the same dns address as videos, so a dns block is incredibly poo

Seems to be the way with lots of apps Apple produces these days. They do the bare minimum, leave them a decade then quietly add in a feature that should've existed on day one and likely took a single dev a couple of hours to add suppor

Another vote for AirGradient's devices which are great IMO, got a few of them now and they've been very easy to integrate into my setup.

Yeah, so you fire them and replace them with another human, thats still vastly cheaper than a person plus a per-token ai fee.

It's a bit misleading to compare $20/month with an actual human person. The junior dev wont get half way through the day and tell you they've used up all their coding time for the month and will now respond with jibberish. Cu

ah completely missed that, thats a pretty decent price then! I wonder if they're just getting rid of stock as Pocketbook did pull out of the UK market a while back.

For the UK the Kindle's still the cheapest option at the moment. Mine was £94 here: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/4079659 Searching around for the pocketbook it's not sold in the UK but on their German stor

Feels like Trello alternatives are the next ToDo list. There's so many of them these days that I struggle to grasp why anyone thinks launching an opensource one and thinking they can turn a profit with a cloud version is ever going to
