- Comment on Disney Exits OpenAI Deal After AI Giant Shutters Sora 1 week ago:
The issue is that you can’t really “beat” China. Their models are free to self host and use, they don’t play by the rules of US LLM companies.
Sure it’s going to be the same for personal use, to most people chatGPT or DeepSeek are websites.
But to enterprise it will be a massive difference in cost, and AI can’t even begin to dream about profitability without enterprise

MacOS doesn’t really lock you at all though, and you’re free to dev for pretty much any software there, iOS or not

My issue with UE5 is that it runs like shit, which DF tends to agree with, but it also looks like trash. Temporal effect are all over the place and make the image look like a muddy, ghosting mess. It only ever looks good on static screenshots

ngl I did make the jump to liquid glass on Macos, but for iOs I started on liquid glass (and quickly came back to Android once I realised I could not stand youtube without adblock and sponsorblock), so I definitely did not miss features and did like the looks of the UI

Oh yeah I’m aware that some professionals are essentially locked to a single platform (same goes with accounting and Excel), I can only hope that the industries this affects start taking Linux more seriously (or Mac, but tbh once you’re running on Mac it’s less of a leap to work on Linux)

Idk I’ve really liked it. Accessibility was an issue in the demos, it’s not anymore; the changes are purely aesthetic and tbf it does look nice
- Comment on Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns 2 weeks ago:
When I started at my last job, I asked for a mac; I worked on Linux, Windows (wsl), and wanted a change. Most of my collegues (in the dev team) initially asked for a windows PC, but literally everyone ended up on Mac.
Windows is only usable when the WSL is set up and then you basically work exclusively on that VM lol, I literally cannot understand how anyone puts up with this OS. Any other OS is excellent just by comparison.

Those are still external services. I didn’t mention them because they carry the exact same risks

- Comment on 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives 1 month ago:
I guess, but even without talking about forums, even a subreddit would at least be publicly accessible and searchable. Using discord is effortless but antagonistic, at least a subresdit would be both effortless and in the service of the public.
Sure, I’d prefer an open source self hosted platform, but I’m hard pressed to find anything worse than discord
- Comment on Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This First 2 months ago:
This might be relevant for following ICE around or direct action, but at this point there’s almost zero personal risk from attending something like a rally or a march.
No. If the data exists at any point, then a future threat will be able to exploit it, so full on nazi style fascism might not be here yet, but when it is, you’ll be in danger. Data can sleep forever before it becomes a threat.
- Comment on The 2025 Steam Awards Winners 2 months ago:
The arc are ectremely impressive enemies and feel like nothing I’ve ever fought in a game, and the matchmaking system puts you in matvhes with people that have the same level of aggression. So it’s not your regular extraction shooter where NPCs are a sidenote and everyone plays kill on sight and that’s extremely refreshing

- Comment on Google just broke *all* third-party web clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required. 6 months ago:
It’s annoying but I guess they’re just evolving their anti spam mechanisms, which shouldn’t surprise anyone.
JS is one of the most popular scripting languages anyway so having it as a requirement shouldn’t hinder anyone.
And not to throw shade at the people who designed yt-dlp, but designing a tool to “scrap” the content of an evolving platform in a different language (with different tooling etc) than the one which it’s expecting to be consumed by might have been a mistake

That works for the web, because you control the browser & can know the domain before it gets resolved (& encrypted by DOH/DOT), but for a fridge you’re SOL

You could get a jumping hour watch, meaning the hour isn’t a slowly moving hand but instead jumps from 6 to 7 with a jump, avoiding potential mixing up of hours, it would make it easier to read those 24h
Like this watch
- Comment on AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI tools 6 months ago:
But they’re already not making money, losing customers during the supposed growth phase is absolutely devastating. It’s occuring all while AI is being subsidized by massive investments from the likes of microsoft and google, and many more namelesss VCs through OpenAI, anthropic etc.
