This isn’t surprising at all. It reminds me of staunch Apple haters who recycle superficial talking points as opposed to Apple nerds who have long lists of very pointed critiques. What annoys me the most bsky AI hate is the assumption that

It really baffles me that a forum full of people who casually deep dive into all corners of tech regardless of its “usefulness” can’t understand people might want to do the same with their personal notetaking or organization.

Yes, it’s called “game recognize game.”

Agreed, “if it can’t do everything it’s useless” is dumb on face value. I’m sorry if people don’t have more imaginative uses than checking their email, but I’ve gotten so much utility out of Openclaw without ever hooking it up to my email o

Open source tools are being snapped up by a company famous for reneging on its non-profit mission as soon as they sniffed some profit. Wow gee, imagine the cynicism.

Is pointing out the incorrect use of a point of order itself a point of order, or also a point of information?

Hooking it up to your todo app and texting your bot to manage things. Assuming you’re a heavy todo app person that could benefit from such things.

How many 27” 5k 120hz+ high PPI are shipping right now? Reddit is particularly clowning on this for the refresh rate and completely ignoring the resolution.

Worth noting that these (and the LG with the same panel) aren’t shipping yet.

Are you really going to pretend that “impose their morals” is a completely value-neutral statement?

MIT seems to be pumping out a lot of the latter, particularly in the form of preprints making sweeping claims on very poor research design.

A few years ago, a conservative professor getting a critical email from a student would spawn a dozen articles and thinkpieces on censorship. Now we have entire departments getting dropped to appease an actual authoritarian regime and sudde

As an Army veteran, I find this kind of keyboard warrioring to be insanely cringe. The “last time” was 20 years after Mexico had secured their independence from Spain and a few years after fending the military was worn down fending off incu

I’m baffled that you can look at the Democrats’ decades of running to the right on immigration and still blame their losses on not doing that enough. This is a perfect example of why ceding any ground to right-wing talking points is a mista

I swear these comments could be copy-pasted from NYT op-eds in 2004 regarding Iraq.

Paul Hudson is the main guy right now, although his stuff is still a little advanced for me. Sean Allen on youtube does great video updates and tutorials.

My friends are in real life, not on Mastodon or Bluesky. Not everyone interested in doing detective work to find accounts related to their interests. It’s perfectly reasonable to expect social media platforms to help with that discovery. If

Personally my hype is for the price, especially for Flash. Before Sonnet 4.5 was competitive with Gemini 2.5 Pro, the latter was a much better value than Opus 4.1.

You want Apple to invent reasons for you to need a more powerful computer? I could understand this argument for the iPad, but this is a weird complaint for Macs. Play a video game, use local LLMs, or get into video editing?

Atlassian yanked core Jira Service Manager features into their premium plan which, you guessed it, includes AI. For our company of >30 people this amounted to a ~$7k/mo increase.

Shortcuts is about a decade old and was acquired by Apple 8 years ago. It has hooks into the OS and allows apps to expose their own hooks for automation. Are you looking for a real answer or is this some weird defensive Android thing in res

So no country should tolerate Signal? If you’re someone who believes that ICE is only enforcing real laws and innocent people don’t need to be concerned, please get in touch with my bridge sales department.

Sounds insufferable, which is unsurprising since Parmer Lucky is the final boss of wannabe airsoft warriors who never served. I’m sure it’s appealing to the Grunt Style vets and sweaty Call of Duty cosplayers they’re scooping up to build we

Local models and any OpenAI-compatible APIs are available to the Xcode Beta assistant. This is just a dedicated “sign in with x” rather than manual configuration.

Agreed, and it drives me bonkers when people talk about AI coding as if it represents some a single technique, process, or tool. Makes me wonder if people spoke this way about “using computers” or “using the internet” in the olden days. We
