I use both, Windows 11 and Pop! OS (which is Ubuntu, with Cosmic). Pop! OS is definitely not ready for the average user in my opinion. Some common work-related apps I need like Citrix Workspace straight up don't work. Audio + Camera ra

This story has some parallels to our current usage of chatbots. We've also seen already a display of limited agency (in the sense of proactive actions) through the recent emergence of Clawdbot and alike. What would happen if a model th

Thats pretty cool! Some games like Gothic had dynamic composing of existing sound themes. It would be interesting to research how these could fit together

Rowling is among the last persons on earth that need help on this. But ignoring that: I do not think that these txt files being online do any economic harm. Noone will go and say "hey, I'm going to read these un-formatted text fil

The trick is that the jump goes from 20 to 100 Dollar for the Pro to Max subscription. Pro is not enough for me, Max is too much. 60 would be ideal, but currently at 100 it's worth the cost. But this is how every subscription works. Mo

Microsoft seems to have thrown quality assurance overboard completely. Vibe generate everything, throw it at a wall, see what sticks. Tech bros are so afraid of regulation they even drop regulation inside their own companies. (just kidding)

Hey, bugs can happen, no problem. But sorry, I do not believe your last sentence. German-French should be a popular pair, and you yourself claimed to speak both languages. This happened literally in the first beginner lesson. Everyone with

Thanks for your input neighbor! That's interesting because other sources actually start with "Salut", without going into the usage too much. Good to know. Bonjour for good morning is correct. The problem is that the app intro

It's always a good initiative to build something on your own. Then again, it's also good to not lie to your users. Your courses are AI-generated and not curated by experts. I tried the French beginner course, using German as my ba

The thing with notifications is that a lot of apps go so overboard with them that I generally choose to silence them completely. This has totally led to important notifications being unseen for some time, but for the peace it is a price I&#

The verbose mode is, well, verbose. They removed, without any need, info and hid it in a wall of text.

Did you read the article? It's not about subjective claims, it's about a very real feature getting removed (file reads showing the filepath and numbers of lines read).

Out of curiosity: Do you use a high level language (like C#) or do you have low level optimizations on (e.g. assembly level)? I imagine that there has to be some kind of map that keeps track of which pixels are "active" and need

This has been a common pattern for me before LLMs, when my work required constantly rebuilding models or doing small deployments where each task/try took more than ~20ish seconds and less than say 3 minutes. It's enough to pull yo

The Windows 11-way is to just plaster another, worse, context menu over the working existing one. Now every right click was actually two clicks. You can disable it, but what the hell...
