- Comment on Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app 3 days ago:
Explorer already crashes enough without this.
Why don’t they work on Explorer’s awful performance and constant hanging before working in another chatbot?
You know, useful software development work?
- Comment on Creators of Tailwind laid off 75% of their engineering team 5 days ago:
It’s not particularly bad value for what they’re offering, which seems to be a component library and set of templates.
For a comparison, the company I work for are paying over a £1000 / year for MUI-X, which is a set of paid React components. It’s cheaper and more efficient than paying someone at our company to maintain our own component library.
Even a single engineer spending 10% of their time (as I used to) maintaining this stuff would cost the company over £5000 / year in manpower.
- Comment on Creators of Tailwind laid off 75% of their engineering team 5 days ago:
It’s effectively an alternative to plain CSS. Works well with component-based systems like React and Svelte.
I used it for a few years and thought it was pretty good. I still use it on some of my projects.
- Comment on This EV Was Already Cheap, Then Dacia Knocked Off Nearly $6,000 6 days ago:
I don’t know why people are saying a 200km range is bad. Most people I know don’t drive more than 25km to work per day. Surely even 100km is perfectly fine for a daily driver.
My brother had an 80km range car for years and was perfectly fine.
Is it just that it’s not competitive at this price?
- Comment on Librarians Are Tired of Being Accused of Hiding Secret Books That Were Made Up by AI 2 weeks ago:
Good article with many links to other interesting articles. Acts like a good summary for the situation this year.
I didn’t know about the MAHA thing, but I guess I’m not surprised. It’s hard to know how much is incompetence and idiocy and how much is malicious.
- Comment on Salesforce regrets firing 4000 experienced staff and replacing them with AI 2 weeks ago:
That’s a much better sourced article and an interesting read, thanks.

What is this website used as a source? It doesn’t have an about page or even proper navigation. Is it some sort of blog?
- Comment on TheRealKuni, this is for you. 2 weeks ago:
Cruel and unusual punishment.
- Comment on Verizon refused to unlock man’s iPhone, so he sued the carrier and won 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think I’ve had a locked phone since around 2012.
I’m guessing people still get them because they need financing? Seems like a poor choice most of the time.
- Comment on My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories 4 weeks ago:
I have met people in Britain who genuinely seem to hate food. They have a plain cheese sandwich, the worst imaginable bread or eat Huel every day.
That doesn’t necessarily reflect all Britons, but I do think they genuinely care about food less on average than other cultures.
- Comment on Sans serif fonts are woke because they're easier for dyslexics to read 4 weeks ago:
Awwww was baby Hegseth triggered by the mean old font? Authoritarians are so sensitive, they get upset at everything.
- Comment on Are they the same person? 4 weeks ago:
Christian Nationalists are basically white nationalists. White nationalists are US-flavoured Nazis. KKK material.
They should be a fringe group shunned by all society, perhaps given mental help and deprogramming treatment. In this timeline though they are out-and-proud and in positions of power.
- Comment on Alas! 5 weeks ago:
I have a habit of getting into trouble for criticizing the work of others. I do it constructively, but not always tactfully.
One I pulled a few months back was something along the lines of “don’t do this, as it means other people will have to clean up after you”.
I’m… working on it.

Rule 34. I’m sure someone’s on it.

Still better than the Cass Review.
- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 1 month ago:
In the UK the calculus is quite different, as it’s £0.25/kWh or over double the cost.
Also, an empty Synology 4-bay NAS can be gotten for like £200 second hand. Good enough if you don’t need much performance. Mine draws about 10W compared to an old Optiplex that draws around 60W.
With that math using the NAS saves you 1.25 pence per hour. Therefore the NAS pays for itself in around about 2 years.

Well, there’s stuff like how the book insists that most house elves are happy being slaves, Dobby was the exception. And how it makes fun of Hermione for trying to free them.
If you want a full analysis, Sean did a good one.

Like a lot of the worst stuff in the book, it didn’t make it into the movies I think.

Mate, there’s so many weird or disturbing things in the books that didn’t make it into the movies.

Yeah, calling the only black dude Shacklebolt as well. The more you look the worst it gets.
- Comment on "I hope we have an LGBTQ+ president" 1 month ago:
Funnily enough we have a similar potential situation in the UK, some people have been pushing for our prime minister (president equivalent) to step down and be replaced by Wes Streeting.
Wes Streeting is a gay man who is currently the Secretary for Health and Social Care, and is widely hated by the LGBTQ community for being transphobic, which is especially bad for someone who has control over trans health care, and has been effectively making it worse.
