I’m Lithuanian. It’s pretty strict here with guns, really can’t compare it with USA and not really sure why you mentioned it.

It may be good in some scenarios, but paying for it is unacceptable.

Uruky is great.

… Would prevent people from finding It also so might as well not bother at all.

If it’s for blog posts and sharing some point across in writing, I found https://bearblog.dev/ to be great. It’s not completely “yours”, but it’s a great middle ground.

This was the funniest bit :

The global shortage “isn’t done by the ​Middle East, ⁠this is done by what’s happening with Russia and Ukraine,” Trump added.

Things like this radicalize people against all AI.

A bit unrelated, but I wonder if I’m the only one left that is:

• Using small, open-weight models
• Asking it to only write small snippets that I can easily go through, check and understand.
• Copying pasting from good old web frontends instead of integrating it into my editor or whatever else people do with agents nowadays.

I feel like when we’re talking about AI this sort of usage gets lumped into the same pile as agentic vibe coding and it’s not helpful for discussion. Surely most people wouldn’t find this problematic?

but it might be fairly compared to the Cotton Gin in terms of making the field workers more productive in the delivery of market ready code/cotton.

Last i heard was that developers FELT like it made them more productive but actually not so much.

What makes you say that?

The new textobjects al and il are a great addition as well. Won’t need a shortcut to select the whole buffer anymore and won’t need to do 0 -> ^ -> y$

:D well… you can always use a distribution like lazyvim and chill

the endorsement was on their website

the change that got merged was the one that replaced that endorsement with another one

Vaxry, the developer behind the Hyprland Wayland compositor (another Omacom-funded project), was banned in 2024 by Freedesktop.org’s Code of Conduct team over a pattern of the Hyprland Discord enabling harassment of trans community members, including an incident where moderators changed a trans user’s display name to strip their pronouns. Vaxry’s own public response framed the ban as ideological overreach by “social justice warriors,” while the Freedesktop side, recounted at LibreNews, describes over a year of private attempts to get him to address the toxicity before going public. Hyprland’s contributing guidelines now ban “political” speech too.

I’d recommend anyone actually accusing him of anything first read https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2023-hyprlandsCommunity . IMO it’s very overblown and weakens similar accusations.

I have heard it has some security problems as well, which might be a big deal if your threat level is higher. At the same time, Aurora store works without google play services installed, doesn’t that have some privacy benefits? I have heard that google play services in GrapheneOS has the same permissions as a regular app, however, I still feel the pull to be without them on my main profile and feel like I don’t really get the implications of that. Maybe it collects less data but surely it’s still a lot?

I think it’s helpful to separate the problems of the technology itself from all the BS that big tech companies engage in when developing and pushing it.

Say you only use small, open-weight models that are hosted locally in a data center that is conscientious, environmentally clean, has strict data privacy policies and doesn’t pull the bullshit big-tech do.

You use them minimally and responsibly, you don’t over-rely on them. Is there a problem in that case?

I’d feel safer with Chinese electronics in all honesty.

Don’t let recency bias cloud over your judgement.

Yep and that’s not a good thing. Makes idiots such as Doug look good and people are more likely to overlook his past actions because we have a new idiot in town.

What /s ?
