> Hard to see what xAI has to offer against Gemini, Claud, ChatGPT. Less "I can't help you with that." on benign queries is a big advantage.

I really don't think advertisers will ever embrace bsky. No one wants their brand under communist scrutiny all the time, one step away from another "cancellation." They will definitely return to X.

I had to upgrade the CPU in a 10-year old machine (from i5 to i7) to have decently -working javascript on websites. Every other piece of software worked fine, though.

I bought a regular iPad in 2017, I'm really impressed that almost 9 years later it's still working and the batter is still great (especially for reading).

More profits, line mustn't just go up, line must go higher. Giving away the devices is like saying "we're replacing both you and your device with AI and it's not like that device will help you get another job in this mar

Is it just me or since The Guardian left twitter/X they've really been ramping up their paywalls/nagwalls? Love or hate X/Elon, that was really a dumb move on their part.

People here assume that YC is some kind of ethics benchmark for business. It's not.

That and it's also destroying the environment, trust, truth, creativity, people's ability to afford better computing equipment and so on.

A website that's useful should look like Japanese websites look today. Most websites looked like that pre-2010. We just went overboard with making them "responsive." Why do we need >36px text on the desktop for anything ot

Could be. But they're in the SEO business, articles sounded like that long before LLMs were trained on them to produce the same crap.

Well Cook's Apple is mostly about money coming in, so as long as that's happening he's not obsessing over quality.

I really hate this trend of naming companies using dictionary words just because they can afford to spend cash on the domain name instead of engineering. Render, fly, modal, entire and so on.

What we really need to get rid of is platforms. vBulletin sells you software. It's up to you what you choose to use it for. Platforms like Discord and Reddit need to have final say on a lot of things because they need investor/adv

If anything, this should be a wake-up call at least for those managing tech-oriented communities. I don't expect gamer or normies to do anything about it, but hackers definitely should.

I'm all for alternatives as long they're based on open protocols and truly open apps -- not some where a corporate entity gets to dictate how many users one may have or how many lines you get to store. It should also be fairly eas

Email + IRC (there are daemons that support chat history). Bouncers exist. Logging. This should be standard for OSS projects, not some private, unsearchable, data-mining platform. This is what happens when we reach for convenience over open

I'll hardly miss using Discord, but if this isn't going to be a wake-up call to ALL (mainly) open-source projects using it, then we're all doomed. We should seriously go back to mailing lists and IRC as a standard for OSS. Ev

The next obvious step is to shrink the 'Ad' label, remove its background altogether and make the text a faded gray, or completely transparent "glass."

This leads me to believe that most boycotts gain traction only if another corporation stands to benefit from that. Nowadays pretty much all of the big players are in bed with the current administration, so there's little surprise that
