I believe we are having this discussion from a purely technical perspective and not from a business one. Let's take slack for example. Assuming a company can perfectly clone it, why would they? Yes they would skip paying for it, but th

The way I see it using tmux to orchestrate multiple agents is an intermediate step until we get a UI that can be a product offering. Assuming we get orchestration to the level it has been touted, there is a world where tmux is unnecessary f

I can only hope that this degradation of UX will make more people switch or consider switching to other distributions. It's the only thing that will make microsoft listen.

The lack of evidence before attributing the attack(s) to a Chinese sponsored group makes me correlate this report with recent statements from companies in the AI space about how China is about to surpass US in the AI race. Ultimately statem

I recently got into neovim and some things that the author mentions can be found in pre-built configurations like kickstart by default. E.g when hitting "g" I also get a popup with the available follow up keys alongside the final

“Depends on ads to survive” is wildly different from “uses ads to promote the product it depends on to survive”. Apple doesn’t generate revenue from running ads. Google does because you can pay google to promote your ads and google makes mo
