Android still looks too ugly for me. It seems like I’ll always be missing WebOS while sticking with iOS.

I have been planning on paying for AppleCare and not using a case for my main phone or an incredibly thin discrete/minimal case. Modern phones look so sleek without cases.

If modern society is inherently unfair and unequal. Then the best thing the powers to be/people at the top of the hierarchy can do is have culture dictate there is meritocracy to justify the status quo and current hierarchies.

Not all of us care about certain in-groups over others. Like caring about humanity as a whole. Nothing wrong with any one investing in BYD or similar tech (vs any other investing). If anything, investing in non-“imperial core” companies see

Are you in America? No one in the Us military is giving up lives to keep citizens safe. For other countries, it’s because the nation state is the current agreed upon divider for certain things like borders. To moralize nationalism is weird

A better way to think of it is that the western “left” isn’t part of the global left. Using tankie unironically is a classic example.

For Setapp, I am kind of forced to pay for it since I use NotePlan and Paste. And I use Timing Tracker sometimes. The first two alone cost the same as a Setapp sub for 4 desktops and 4 iOS devices. I should try Alt out again with you remind

You make it sound like anti-semites will always dislike Israel as if the average evangelical isn’t an anti-semite. This is why normies who don’t understand politics and over emphasis idpol and labels are always surprised when anti-semites c

Yes. Colonialism is certainly going to be worse. One AI company going from non profit to whatever it is now is not close.

Interesting enough to me though I only skimmed. I switched back to Rails for my side project a month ago and ai coding when doing not too complex stuff has been great. While the old NextJS code base was in shambles. Before I was still doing

I agree the smugness and moralizing is tiresome. — Love you bringing up The Review. That would be a great one.

That was such a bad book. Seeing how much of it is incorrect, made up, exaggerated etc. I never would have had much interest in the Soviet Union until I read a few trash books including that one that are hyped by westerners. Though that quo

You’re too focused on labels. Humans don’t work that neatly. Political labels can work if you and the other person are educated on politics (95%+ of HN isn’t) but otherwise focusing on labels mislead the convo and vibe. A lot of white natio

Spent a bit of time thinking there must be one app by Apple but doesn’t seem like it.

Nice. Batteries included for major frameworks is always great.

China’s retribution or punishment against loan issues is nowhere close to IMF and the west. Same with them not wanting the state to do what they want. You did the equivalent of showing some stat showing black and brown people do violence an

Mexico isn’t as “western” as the west. Mexico isn’t the first world. It’s not part of the exploiting Global North. The stuff you bring up ignore the power dynamics which are arguably the most important part.

Delegation is super cool. I can sometimes end up having too much Linear issue context coming in. IE frequently I want a Linear issue description and last comment retrieved. Linear MCP grabs all comments which pollutes the context and fills

Very interesting. I’m going to start using Nix it seems based off skimming how it works and can replace docker.

My issue is how much I care about looks. If it’s not pretty, I have a harder time using stuff outside the CLI/TUI. Linux is too ugly for me to use as my main device. Same with what I’ve seen of Android.

How would you ever get blue bubbles reliably on Android? Are you talking about iMessage or something else? I am fully bought into the Apple ecosystem. Not sure yet if I regret it. It is annoying to be so tied down to one company that isn’t

A lot of extensions don’t work well with that. Like the UI is all messed up.

Having your mode of production focus on people and not profit. Having a dictatorship of the proletariat is the most important thing. The end of private property is an eventual goal but it’s not close to the primary issue in 2025. The actual

Didn’t America not have laws equal at all for a long time based on the Constitution and only recently it is superficially equal to all (we all know the law doesn’t work the same for everyone)?

China is communist. Interesting how often outsiders are so sure a country led by the CPC isn’t Marxist.

You bring up politics? That’s like saying western state depts helps others with politics in the Middle East. His political stuff is the same as western state depts. Western chauvinism knows no bounds.

Super cool to be able to get TikTok feeds. Getting social media feeds in general in feed reader seems great.
