I followed them for a while before the AI craze started. It looked promising back then, but I wasnt willing to invest time and attention back then on something so new. Good thing I didn’t

If you don't want your mbp to run like garbage, then don't update to the newest version of obsolescenceOS.

I always considered Garbicz a very commercial festival even from the very beginning. The ticket was expensive, food was included, all infrastructure already built and you party and leave without much thought at all. The people also had litt

“the new API WILL require you to rethink your code” I recall we had roughly the same experience. Tried to use the OTA API that was rewritten and it was a disaster. The contributors opinion was atrocious, and we had deliverables to deliver s

“Stealing” implies they aren’t rightfully yours. Ownership of self determination, freedom etc are human rights, as is breathing clean air, or drinking clean water. We all are born into this world with an inherent set of rights. No authority

There is a growing counter-tech neo luddite movement forming, and I think its going to get very large. At some point we need to step back and ask - why are we simply accepting technologies that erode freedoms and subjugate the masses

Im not an expert in emissions testing but pretty sure it still needs CE certification testing. The module shouldnt cause any problems providing that the firmware for the transmitter is configured properly, and is placed sanely in the enclos

This really just highlights the desperation OpenAI is facing right now. These controllers have existed forever - why the f would anyone buy this?

As someone who has spent a vast portion of life believing technology would make life better, I've come to the realisation that this idea is a fallacy. Technology amplifies power and until we collectively redefine and enforce a value sy

GitHubs AI usage policy was enough for me to leave. Sick of corporate overlords stealing everything from us. If it’s free - you are the product.

What is unacceptable is how these technology companies steal the IP of collective humanity, gate keep it and force us to pay a subscription service to use it against each other in a perverted downward spiral powered by capitalist game theor

Im convinced its all planned to force users to upgrade. The “7 years of updates” selling point is just a trojan horse to install a newer iOS that makes the product run like garbage. Id honestly prefer never to update than get these bogus “s

Maybe they can fix Messages from bugging out all the time. Apple software has gone down the drain. I don’t want a million new features I just want the ones that make a phone a phone actually work 99.5% of the time

Germany never thought it would be in the current situation - decaying health care, pension system, cornerstone industry in decline, lack of digitalization, the list goes on. Massive reforms are needed, action is needed, but there is too muc

> This is a moral failure of the highest order and it underscores, for me at least, that most of these faux-progressives' activism is purely performative. It is worse than that. Faux-progressives will also play into antisemitic cons

I switched to a T480 from a crappy macbook pro 2017. I enjoyed the switch to use linux fulltime but ultimately I was let down by the Intel processor that would throttle very badly. Compiling code was a nightmare. Ive since switched back to

Musk has excellent products but I wouldn't give him a dime. I have no problem with conservative politics, but his flavour is well beyond that.

The hardware is very good, it can absolutely last 10 years and is miles ahead of competition - which pains me even more that the software degrades. I will eventually install linux on my M1 but I shouldn’t have to.

Apple software has noticeably declined from my experience, both iOS and macOS. I find the lifecycle of Apple products to be offensively short, also. If I buy a product and the hardware is good for 10 years (because I looked after it), I exp

I find with C/++ I have to compile to find warnings and errors, while with Rust I get more information automatically due to the modern type and linking systems. As a result I compile Rust significantly less times which is a massive spe

Love it when you make a statement that porn isnt harmful without referencing any studies, and then demand studies for people to prove it is harmful. You are the one who made the original claim that its not harmful, the burden of proof is on

Like with any new wave of technology, the masses try to ride the wave, however they can - either creating a spinoff company that will ultimately go bust, or spamming hn with blog posts about their experiences. It’s yet another hype cycle, a

Embedded developer here, I focus on audio hardware and robotics. Although C/++ is still dominate Rust is becoming more and more popular. I now specialise in embedded Rust, with a fallback to C/++. C++ is fine, but I prefer the mod
