That was not the point of the discussion. I could answer "iOS may be shitty but it doesn't phone home every touch and your health data stays local". I really don't want to argue abour iOs vs Android. I used both. They ar

That’s the American/capitalist thinking : the market should sort itself out against bad actors.

That’s only because there is only one alternative that is more or less equally shitty (Android) and no room for any competition whatsoever. It’s not like people really have options to choose when it comes to choosing a smartphone. It’s easy

In essence, the lion is the monopolies and the ultra rich (who are consequences of monopolies … and inheritance). Sure capitalism offered us the herd. But too big companies/people are just a net negative. I hope someone today will have

The hype, absolutely not. I found the writing to be very poor. However I enjoyed it. The story is refreshing and straightforward. To be fair, I read it months before the movie announcement and it really felt like reading a movie plot. If yo

Also I think it’s somehow important to not let fascism steal our cultural heritage, even if it’s just a meme. In my country, far righters are displaying the country’s flag everywhere. Now you can’t display a French flag without being though

I have more mixed feelings about Syncthing than you. I personally think it’s a power user tool rather than an easy to use tool. The UI can feel intimidating but is actually pretty coherent once you understand how Syncthing works. I would co

Yup, macOS is still a mixed bag for me. Both really clever egonomics most of the time but also incredibly frustrating when you want to do something Apple didnt thought about. And it's not going in the right direction tbh. I think my pe

My current job involves exactly this (thanks not on IE) and AI is, as you said, absolutely bad at it. And I’m saying this as someone who kind of adopted AI pretty early for code and who learned how to prompt it. The best way to make AI wort

USB-C to jack adapters exists. Even USB-C to jack cables exists if you own headphones with removable cable. Not saying it’s a good situation, I also miss the jack connector. But you’ve got the option to keep your headphones :)

Except the US tech is locking any compatibility layer one after the other. Every OS release is now more locked down than the previous one. Every piece of hardware is totally locked down. What this means is that it's harder and harder t

That’s not my use case but even if it were true : is the current design broken ? Can’t even the Snow Leopard version do the job of "just browsing the download folder" and allow more "advanced" users to have a decent to

At first glance, I found the aesthetic of liquid glass to be pretty nice. I actually like the visual effect of glass they managed to create. At least something different from flat design ! But then came the interface overhaul. That’s incred

In the meantime we’ve lost pretty much any innovation in the physical space. I have a great illustration with a simple product I cannot find : a _modern_ … alarm clock. I’ve been searching for the ultimate alarm clock in a while with the fo

Happy customer of Kagi here too. However if I’m being honest, I’m starting to get LLM generated content in Kagi results. Don’t think it’s their fault or that it happens more than everywhere else neither what they could do about it but it ha

Interestingly, that’s exactly where this mantra is false. Printing money for projects that benefit the greater good does not create any inflation and costs barely anything to anyone. Print 100 for no reason and give it to the economy and fo

I somehow doubt the usual approximations are working here. Kagi probably have a user base of users who are highly attached to the product’s quality. Kagi could lose most of their paying customers should they ever fall into the wrong hands.

I agree. But in your case the art would be in everything else that isn’t the sprites. By everything else I mean everything the author would have care about. It wouldn’t mean that the sprites couldn’t be aesthetically appealing but only that

Well, sure. Except that in most of the world outside SV, $200/month is expensive. At least Cursor is affordable to any developer. Because most of the time, even if it’s totally normal, companies act like they’re doing you a favor when

Actually, putting your card on your phone is a better protection against theft : they cannot be used without biometric identification, can be remotely revoked and you can still keep your plastic cards as backup. I could easily live without

I think it’s still pretty frequent even nowadays. I have payment cards with systematic authorization and and others without and I can totally see the difference. Transactions with the cards requiring authorization will take several seconds
