I actually like AI tools, but I don’t use Apple Intelligence. It’s literally the worst in class. It feels very late 90’s Microsoft. They are shoving it on us when we don’t want it and it’s worse than everything else out there. It’s the Wind

They have their own problems. They may be "open source", but they don't accept contributions. I'm skeptical it will ever become more than a hobby project.

You were barred for life over a false positive? That's crazy.

Are we talking hypothetical utopia or something that could actually happen? Insurance probably isn’t the most perfect solution but it’s the most feasible. These exact policies and insurers already exist. And why the hell would anyone want a

Ok. How do you propose they prove they can handle the risks? Who is responsible for determining that and what are their qualifications?

The company typically receives the payout to cover losses from whatever incident precipitated the claim. This isn’t hypothetical. Companies already do this. For example, a company could get hacked and extorted for ransom. They can file a cl

Companies typically have insurance policies to cover this kind of stuff.

This is a little harsh. What about requiring companies to carry management liability insurance? Or to list individual managers on cybersecurity insurance policies? Premiums will rise when a company employs managers with claims history. Even

I love how the content belongs to them when someone else reposts it but it belongs to the user if the content is illegal. Such a double standard with these social media and AI companies. Why do we put up with it?

RTS is pretty much a dead genre these days. There have been indie releases but nothing did well enough for a big studio to take notice. They tested the water with a Command and Conquer remaster a few years ago too.

Not to mention, they have 1 GB of headroom in their back pocket if/when they need to make Windows more efficient. Quick rewrite of that app or just scrap it and they've saved months of optimization.

Not as far as I can tell. If I'm not mistaken, Goodreads is owned by Amazon now. The Kobo does have good Overdrive integration and that's a huge plus.

Love Kobo. I switched from Kindle to the Libra Colour a while back. It's a superior device and I don't have to give money to Amazon. It's more responsive, it has physical buttons for turning pages and the screen looks great.

I took it to mean backdoored similar to the NSA's tailored access operations or the Supermicro backdoor several years ago.

The guy who invented Ruby on Rails. He’s been pretty important in web dev and he’s an excellent engineer, although he’s a polarizing figure. He’s always been opinionated and never afraid to ruffle some feathers. More recently, he’s been pos

You still have to use rpmfusion, which isn’t a huge deal. It’s maybe 5 min one time and then you are set. Or you could use one of the Universal Blue spins. Bluefin and Aurora have non-free stuff built in and you can install pretty much any

I just don't want to be logged in. I used to be an active user. It sucks up too much time and there's a lot of toxicity. I finally got off when they blocked third party apps. Their official app is horrible and the website has enou

The Reddit thing is disappointing. I stopped being a user a long time ago, but their links often show up in search results. I started noticing I couldn't see the page without logging in. I ended up blocking Reddit in my search results.

This might be useful to me. I have an app where I’m reusing an existing harness. It generally works well, but there are some rough edges where I have to work around the harness. I don’t want to code one from scratch. This may work as sort o

You can use one key for multiple models, you can have many keys with a budget on each, you can manage all your keys in one piece of glass, you don't have to deal with the upstream vendors directly just to name a few. These are all thin

They are the leading LLM API routing tool. Stripe is the leading payments API. They are betting on OpenRouter being as important to developers as payments. Both let them take a small percentage of a shitload of transactions. Being the goto

That's unusually honest and the sharpest thing in this thread.

A big part of it was like $5T in covid stimulus, most of which happened under Trump. Biden piled some more on, probably unnecessarily. It felt like we were balancing on a razor's edge and maybe starting to come out of it by the end of

Could you imagine a CTO adopting this thing? They would have to be a complete moron. Yeah, let's standardize on this thing peddled by a lying crook that has fewer features than any of the alternatives. The only people who are going to

There's other stuff out there. You don't have to use it except when you're working with someone who does and there are other systems with some compatibility for that exact scenario. Git became popular because Linus Torvalds

I dunno. Those features are valuable to somebody. Probably enterprise and government, which is where the money is. They basically get a full stack - and if we're being honest, it's actually pretty damn good aside from the downtime

by jm4 1mo ago
In all fairness, the features expanded substantially after the acquisition so there's are a lot more components that can experience downtime. Pre-acquisition, github was a fairly simple code repository with issues bolted on. Actions,

Git is objectively better than Subversion. The problem is we are conflating a widely used hosting service with the underlying SCM. We don't need github to use git successfully. Sure, it's nice, but you can install Forgejo or som

It sucks to see Github's fall from grace, but I just can't bring myself to use a service like this under the custody of SpaceX. Agreed. It's like going from bad to worse. Not to mention, Origin doesn't even support act

I can’t sign up for that. I tried authorizing Codex a couple days ago. For some reason, their system says my phone number has been used for verification 3 times even though it definitely has not. I’ve had this phone number for over 20 years
