And if you install Tailscale you can even use it as an exit node to surf from home when you're traveling.

This is actually is an interesting example, because Cities Skylines 2 has been handed over from Colossal Order to Iceflake Studios recently and since then they have (in my opinion) quickly been able to improve and fix a lot of things that CO weren't able pull off for years. So perhaps CO's development was somewhat of a "total shit show"?

I'm not saying Unity should publish PR about how Unity is working well and this handover and subsequent fixes proves it, but I think you could argue that they could and that they would have at least some facts to back it up with.

I still use K-Lite since they ship MPC-HC (a fork of Media Player Classic) that comes with really good HDR support and default configuration out of the box. If you don't like to have the desktop in HDR you can even configure it to automatically toggle on/off HDR whenever an HDR movies is played.

The HDR support in VLC has been really lackluster. Maybe it is better nowadays, I don't know.

I've also switched to Instant Space Switcher, it is soo good! Previously I used BetterMouse for only this feature but they made the space switching worse in later versions (slower, on-par with the default macOS speed).

Here's the link if anyone is curious: https://github.com/jurplel/InstantSpaceSwitcher

I think in a different society this could have been the case (possibly, assuming the hype is somewhat true).

But the way society is structured now? We still live in feudalism, just uplifted to modern levels of ”comfort” (if you take of your western glasses and look at the whole world. There are still people living in medieval conditions today in some places in the world).

The way it’s going it’s only going to make rich people richer, and give them more power to control this system and perpetuate it. I don’t see that drastically changing anytime soon, unless we do something about it on a societal level.

It should be in their interest actually, since much of the malware is spread via GitHub.

Things have probably always been like that, agree. I often try to see AI as a catalyst, that accelerates what already is.

In a good culture, with high competence and trust this can yield increased output (to some degree at least) and in a bad culture it will accelerate and expedite the dominating traits instead.

Can you expand on this? How do you achieve it? Just a WIP JJ commit after every change or something more clever?

That’s exactly what a bot would say ;-)

I you think you’ll be paid 3 hours of salary for every 5 minutes of work, I have bad news for you.

Most likely your 3 hours will be filled with managing 36 different AI sessions at a time and it will slowly break your brain.

At least if we keep doing capitalism the way we are.

It's basically the blog post version of "Yes | Remind me later". I have very little trust at this point that anything tied to short term financial interest will change (OneDrive, AI, Recall, Microsoft accounts vs local accounts, data collection etc.). Obviously (to us, but apparently not to them) it is ultimately tied to long term financial interest. I don't believe they are able to see that based on the decisions they've been taking the last decade.

In planning I sometimes add ”ask me questions as we go to iron out details and ambiguities.” Works quite well.

They obviously have been cutting corners.

It should probably be a percentage of upvotes to be fair then.

Flagging is the new downvote, with extra power. No one can say no to you, if enough people (who knows how many, 1, 5, 20? Definitely an order of magnitude less that upvotes least) do it the system automatically hides it. And unless the mods care, the system can be abused very easily.

I’ve seen posts with 500+ upvotes that were still flagged. I think the balance and automation around flagging is completely off and too easily abused.

I mean, they kind of have to, when they are the ones falling under that very same definition, right?

That's because we stopped calling others out for shameful, disrespectful or unethical behavior as a rule. So there is less or nothing to be ashamed about anymore.

This is incredibly funny, I’m impressed. The FAQ of the No-AI Editor is hilarious:

Q: I typed "make website" and nothing happened? A: That is correct. You have to write the HTML tags. <div> by <div>.

Q: How do I center a div without the Agent? A: Nobody knows. This knowledge was lost during the Great Training Data Purge of 2029.

That page crashes Safari for me on iOS.

Yeah, that page is horrendous and looks super sketchy. It looks like a very professional fishing attempt to get unsuspecting developers to download malware.

They have a lot of obviously fake quotes from non-existent people at positions that don’t even mention what company it is. The pictures are misgendered and even contain pictures of kids.

Feels like the whole page is AI generated.

Djot is another interesting alternative that tries to make Markdown more parsable and coherent: https://github.com/jgm/djot#rationale

You’re absolutely correct!

Like a cease and desist letter, but inverted. Persist and insist, perhaps?

I don’t quite get what Zed’s emulation of :e has to do with being a modal editor. It’s a completely different editor so of course the interface to interact with files is going to be different, but in my experience Zed’s implementation of modality when it comes to its Vim mode is extremely good. Even better than the already excellent NeoVintageous for Sublime Text.

In properly safe countries this is of course not true. But sadly the world stage still seems to be on the development level of ”lawless neighborhood” so there’s some merit to the idea (not that it is necessarily the best way forward though).

With JJ you can even override the ref spec of what should be considered a mutable commit. Feel free to set it to all commits and JJ will not allow you to mutate anything unless you pass the --ignore-mutable flag.

For example, I've configured it for me to make any commit by anyone else mutable regardless of branch:

    [revset-aliases]
    # To always consider changes by others immutable:
    "immutable_heads()" = "builtin_immutable_heads() | (trunk().. & ~mine())"

I’m more curious of the claim that you don’t get podcasts pushed on you.

The last time I used Spotify (and the reason I left) podcast were constantly featured on the start page and it was impossible to remove them (and I have zero interest in podcast in my music application).
