I am beyond excited about this! Very cool. When Google acquired motorola, I was excited at the possibilities. When they sold Motorola off, I thought it a deeply unfortunate move. With this announcement though, I am now seeing it in a very p

This is a meta comment, but I just wanted to thank you for your engagement and insight that you've shared throughout these threads. I personally get a ton of value out of it and really appreciate it!

I haven't tried using Wade Droid on a phone, but on a fedora desktop it is a little bit rough. It takes a lot of finagling to get anything that requires Google services running, and that is a surprisingly huge amount of apps that peopl

How is the crease on the flip? On some of the foldables like the samsung's, the crease is pretty noticeable and for me it bothers my OCD a little bit. I love the idea of a foldable though

I really wish more artists would put their music on band camp. I have even noticed that some artists who used to put their albums up there no longer are. It's a real shame

GP is likely right still, the longer updates is an also according to the post.

I've never seen the appeal of cursor either, but then I'm a decades-long vim (now neovim) guy and don't use IDEs in general. But for me claude/codex TUIs are a great way to fit agents into my workflow. My suspicion is t

Is anything with the pebble time able to capture heart rate for historical data analysis? Anything that can show graphs that you know of? I've got the pixel watch and I'm using Fitbit for this currently, but it's way too expe

In that I fully agree, but the reason it has to be at a fast pace is because when Google adds things to chrome, developers will use them and don't have to care enough about market share. I think unless Firefox gains enough market share

Like many here, I think Mozilla has done a terrible job managing their money and they are largely to blame for the pickle they are in. However, I don't see who picks up the reigns if Mozilla dies. Like it or not, Firefox is essential

I'm not usually one to defend Microsoft, but since Teams works great in a browser, I actually prefer it that way. My video conference doesn't need access to my whole filesystem and an opacity layer that prevents me from seeing wh

Indeed, I remember being told to go to kinkos and have it printed there since I didn't have a laser printer

I remember a Java job interview like that. "Tell us what you would do to improve this code" with a couple pages of code printed out :-D

Agreed, but even some physical dependency seems to be acceptable, though surely only because they're grandfathered in. For example caffeine

I even had someone submit a resume that listed crypto as one of their skills. When I asked basic questions it quickly became clear they were talking about cryptocurrencies lol

For standard responses you're not wrong, but increasingly there are a lot of LLMS that are essentially doing RAG against search results. For example this is I believe how Kagi works, and Google AI overviews. I have increasingly seen Cl

Thank you for taking the time to write that out. I found it incredibly helpful, just wanted to let you know I appreciated it!

I fully agree, but you'd be amazed at how good Claude is at figuring out the why based on the what. I would never have believed it if I hadn't tried it myself. If it doesn't get the why, then I will typically add it

I often let Claude write my commit messages even when I'm the one who wrote the code. Claude is often damn good at writing commit messages, and they frequently end up much better than if I wrote it all by hand. I nearly always edit the

Great work! A tool like this is sorely needed. How is accessibility? Do PDFs work with screenreaders for example?

I considered it, but it wasn't a direct quote so quotes felt misleading. It was a paraphrase of opinions I've heard expressed by various people in the past

by freedomben 3mo ago
Yes agreed. I use tailscale for the same purpose, and it's so much simpler than having to properly ingress everything from the internet. I have a few older devices on the LAN that have reached EOL as well and would be a terrible idea

by freedomben 3mo ago
Yes that would be the ideal! I do hope we can reach that some day

Exactly. I disagree with the law, but it's obviously not about corporate VPNs

by freedomben 3mo ago
Yes correct, I vehemently disagree with people who say things like the first paragraph. I definitely should have been more clear that that was not my opinion, but it's too late to edit now

by freedomben 3mo ago
Oops yes, definitely should have done that. Looks like it's too late to edit though

VPNs are just tools that sketchy people use for sketchy means. There's no legitimate use for someone who isn't trying to break the law. Allowing these tools let's underage people access porn, and do all manner of undesirable

Following this logic, shouldn't we just ban smart phones for everyone then? If we need to dumb down all technology to the absolute lowest level, we should probably ban computers or at least require an official government-controlled li

What is your definition? Is there any difference between AI assisted development and vibe coding to you?
