- Comment on Is This Social Media? 1 day ago:
Which is not fitting because it’s much more social than something as superficial as Instagram - to me at least. Let’s call what we have here social media and the other stuff can be legacy, corporate or ad based social media which describes it much better.

I prefer „corporate social media“ or „legacy social media“ as a differentiator from the Fediverse. If anything in the Fediverse ever becomes truly mainstream, that’s completely fine

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
~sorry, I threw up in my mouth a bit~
- Comment on After nearly 30 years, Settlers II arrives on Amiga — classic RTS sequel finally gets the Commodore version it deserved 1 week ago:
This game is still awesome. There’s a modern version of it called „Return to the Roots“ that works well high resolution displays and modern OSs.
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 1 week ago:
Definitely not good. Sometimes they can solve issues but you gotta point them in the direction of the issue. Other times they write hacky workarounds that do the job for the moment but crash catastrophically with the next major dependency update.

They are still great for cable management

Never had an issue with my Desktronic desk at home or the ones we used at work.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 2 weeks ago:
Not to mention that constantly having to turn off crap is still awful UX
- Comment on ChatGPT Is Still a Bullshit Machine 2 weeks ago:
Yeah right? I tried it yesterday to build a simple form for me. Told it to look at the structure of other forms for reference which it did and somehow it used NONE of the UI components and helpers from the other forms. It was bafflingly bad
- Comment on Tastes bubbly 4 weeks ago:
Because one way or the other similar products made it into our mouths before. Shampoo running down your face and some of it enters your mouth is definitely not unusual.

Or google Struwwelpeter if you wanna see what German kids are exposed to. Happy tree friends is tame in comparison.
- Comment on Is there ettiquite for following people on Instagram? 4 weeks ago:
Follow back who you like to follow. Some people might consider it impolite not following them back but I think that’s kinda silly.
I would approve follow requests always when you are following the person. Sometimes someone follows me but does not accept my request to follow them back and that always strikes me as kinda frustrating, especially if I don’t know who that person is.

why I never wanted to exercise even as an adult
Seriously, nothing has ruined exercising as an adult as much as gym class. It took me YEARS after being out of school to finally enjoy running.

And if want to stream your music on the go, setting up something like jellyfin or plex works really well

Holy shit, I was vaguely aware of this site but I never heard of the whole Byuu situation and just googled it. It’s pretty fucked up.
- Comment on Techno feudalism, here we come 2 months ago:
I used them on some projects but it feels like copilot is still the best application of the tech and even that is very ummm hit or miss.
Writing whole parts of the application using AI usually led to errors that I needed to debug and coding style and syntax were all over the place. Everything has to be thoroughly reviewed all the time and sometimes the AI codes itself into a dead end and needs to be stopped.
Unfortunately I think this will lead to small businesses vibe coding some kind of solution in AI and then resorting to real people to debug whatever garbage they „coded“ which will create a lot of unpleasant work for devs.

I don’t think they should be required to use all of the networks, just the open ones, i.e. no account registration required, easily accessible
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 released in December 2020. Almost 4 years later, what is your opinion on it? 9 months ago:
I quite liked it from the beginning. I played through all of it on PC with the unpatched release version. It was not nearly as buggy as people made it out to be. The story was pretty engaging and made up for a lot of the game‘s flaws.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 9 months ago:
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The only time I use the power button is when there is an issue which has been like 4 times in 3 years maybe? I think people complaining about the power button location have never worked with macOS and are used to shittier standby in other operating systems.
- Comment on So Long WordPress. 9 months ago:
People really seemed to like this site I made a while ago and it performs well. But really any Wordpress site can be built well if with something like ACF and a custom coded theme.
- Comment on So Long WordPress. 9 months ago:
While there are quite a few agencies and solo devs that click their sites together using crap like Elementor and a bunch of no name plugins that could often be replaced by a single line of code, there are also people building building clean maintainable sites with it.
That said, I usually don’t pick it for my projects. Kirby CMS is a much more flexible alternative. For anything more complex there’s Laravel with Filament to build a nice admin panel.
