Maybe Linear?

I always found Trac UI bad/unintuitive. I always disliked seeing Trac on a project.

“Robo”, whenever I search something: “Let me define these search terms for you, even when they are not something you can define like that or you already know all of that, and better.”
You can’t even disable that. Wasted LLM cost. On every search, I now give the response a thumbs down and flag the most fitting tag: Inappropriate.

Are you serious? That’s insane. I had no idea!
In February 2025, Williams Racing announced a record multi-year title sponsorship with Atlassian and will compete as Atlassian Williams Racing from the 2025 season of Formula One onwards. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlassian#Sponsorship
I hope they can drive faster than their software loads content.

Codeberg also offers private repos.
Sometimes, we do tolerate repositories that are not licensed optimally (e.g. due to historic reasons dating back decades).
Depending on how you read the FAQ entry, they may not explicitly talk about private non-commercial content, though.
- Comment on We messed up with the Windows 12 article. What we got wrong and how it happened 1 week ago:
It depends on contract. Your interpretation matches use as “should”. But there’s also use as “claims x” or “is claimed or said to be” which the quote refers to.
Ich soll - I should or I am asked to. Es soll - or is supposed to be or it supposedly is.
- Comment on We messed up with the Windows 12 article. What we got wrong and how it happened 1 week ago:
There’s another alternative: not reporting it as fact, butbeing open about the degree of certainty and the methodology.
“Someone says”, “rumor”, and “uncertain automated translation” don’t make for very convincing sources or journalistic credibility, of course. But being open about context does moreso than hiding it.
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 1 week ago:
CPU NPU requirements will mean longer support necessity for Windows 11.
If they go ahead with subscriptions, demand will certainly add additional demand for that. But I guess subscriptions would be to cover copilot cost. Given Microsoft’s interest in people upgrading to eventually reduce support surface, I have to assume it will be optional, for AI features. Following that reasoning, the NPU requirement may be optional too, only applicable to the AI features block.
But who knows, the whole thing is not driven by reasonable business decisions anyway.
Also, I had no idea there was a “gaming copilot”. Even after following links to the introduction news, I don’t get what it really does.
- Comment on "Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens 1 week ago:
Yes, that’s what I read elsewhere. No guarantees in contract. So you can consider this to be bullshit or marketing. Even if it’s verbal agreements now, you can be sure they won’t matter.
- Comment on I'm struggling to think of any online services for which I'd be willing to verify my identity or age 1 week ago:
There’s also precedent you can point to. Germans had implemented a reasonable system of digital identification and (seperable) condition confirmation (age gate).
- Comment on Ars Technica Fires Reporter After AI Controversy Involving Fabricated Quotes 1 week ago:
“futurism has confirmed”. Later on the article: “reached out to three parties, no replies and no comment”.
Huh? So how did they confirm?
- Comment on Ars Technica Fires Reporter After AI Controversy Involving Fabricated Quotes 1 week ago:
and “it was only once” is bullshit
They checked and then fired the author. I don’t see how this is “it was only once” implying nothing changed and it will happen again. Isn’t firing the author “holding journalism to a higher standard” already, which you ask for?

Did they make contracts with them?
- Comment on President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems 2 weeks ago:
Well, there’s news about them being the replacement. So, no, they won’t.
- Comment on President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems 2 weeks ago:
I’m not too familiar with the specifics, but didn’t they put their foot down about just two safeguards? Sure, it’s having a spine, but I have to wonder if the line they draw isn’t a bit too far either way.
- Comment on President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems 2 weeks ago:
They’re not. Standard lying and propaganda that they do. You can’t trust in anything they say, in any reasoning they claim.
- Comment on Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs 2 weeks ago:
Germans with a website: well, it’s in clear text in the Impressum already, required by law
- Comment on Anthropic says it ‘cannot in good conscience’ allow Pentagon to remove AI checks 2 weeks ago:
Those two safeguards they deny to remove must be quite the thing.
- Comment on Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs 2 weeks ago:
Pretty sure this is about desktop. Mobile doesn’t have the same kind of features, if at all. Does Mobile have anything else besides local translation?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Regarding security cameras, you can’t point your private security camera of your property. If you put it above your entrance, you can’t point it to record the entire street.
Afaik anyway.
Parking spaces or business must visibly disclose that there’s cameras, at least where they would not be generally expected. I’m not too sure about the specifics there though.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
There’s a difference between taking a picture of a person and taking a picture of scenery or event with a person in it in Germany.
It’s a subtle but significant difference. And relevant when talking about do you have to expect for your picture to be taken. You may not care when your in the background or not identifiable but at the same time care when someone knows you and takes photography of you, or takes photos of you where you’re the main focus of the image.
There’s a distinction between whether they will be published or are for private use too.

Proofreading with adjustments?
- Comment on I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day 2 weeks ago:
It’s really sad how prevalent it is.
I think it depends a lot on the games, communities, and moderation, though.
In my games, at least, I wouldn’t say I see much toxicity, even when it can feel different because of its impact. When I do see toxicity, I consistently report and block.
In all my years, I think I can count misogyny in my games (towards others I overhear) on one hand. Which, of course, doesn’t invalidate those who have different experiences. Many women choose not to talk at all because of these issues, which makes it less likely for other people to experience and see such occurrences.
I find more recent developments interesting where people can change their voice to male and female, which allows people to talk with their voice, but not be identifiable as one or the other. Hopefully it can enable people and make them more comfortable.
- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 2 weeks ago:
I watched this in a YouTube Shorts format a week ago, where they ask a few models about walking or driving to the car wash.
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t read their comment as defensive at all. Their comment ended not in defense but in questioning your original claim/original assessment. The sentence before that serves as reasoning for that.
- Comment on If you had any doubts that Know-Your-Customer laws were evil, here is one very good reason: personal data of 1 BILLION people just leaked. 2 weeks ago:
an exposed MongoDB database containing nearly 1 terabyte of personally identifiable information (PII) exposing approximately a billion sensitive records across 26 countries.
Not even a hack. Pure incompetence and negligence.
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 3 weeks ago:
It’s not about recent tech, it’s about historical territorial claims. Of course, while ignoring history/historic context at the same time.
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 3 weeks ago:
China claiming Taiwan is its territory and threatening invasion, the regular military “training exercises”, even including the specific goal of Taiwan landing operations, and continuous hybrid attacks for years already, like invasion of Taiwan waters with shipping vessels, and cyber attacks, and you’re sitting here claiming China isn’t a country that would invade others.
The what-aboutism deflection does work very well on an international comment section, either.
