Biometric database thats supposed to not exist at all in the first place? Interesting.

hexo
what is "sync licensing deal"?
I can't see the achievement here.
exactly zero knowledge gained. all former expert understanding is buried down in slop so it is inaccessible and will be completely inaccessible once slop-machine stops
well, it accelerates icebergs meltdown. so it helps...
what a nonsense
I'm not surprised at all, if I was to choose from TUI or browser-gui (electron, react, react-native, anything similar) i'd always choose TUI. Good gui design died a long ago. Almost every gui designer needs us to always look at some nonsense animations that serve zero purpose and just make you needlessly wait. There is no such thing as "essential" animation in GUI. And no, plain simple progress bar does not count as animation, but rotating "progress circle" does. GUIs got so unbelievably bloated, it used to be an advantage to have more pixels, as you could pack more information in useful way. Today? Nah. Look at signal (or signal-desktop), it's not even funny anymore. Dolphin used to be good file explorer. Today it's borderline usable, animated so much so that i have to maintain own patched version. One just cannot hide from this, mostly because devs do not understand (or want to acknowledge) need for this stuff to be configurable (instead they more likely focus on stuff no one actually needs. again looking at you, signal.). Or stuff like libadwaita that is likely one of the most arrogant take on gui library ever.
What is it about? I can't get past this "scrolling" website formats. Makes my brain hurt.
Heh, this is like the last thing you need claude for. I mean, you have eyes and brain.
No way they really named it thunderbolt. I mean. Seriously? What is next Mozilla USB-C vibeslop?
because it is common sense
Wow, very cool indeed and i'd use it immediately if it was human-written.
how long? 10 years

again?
Both netflix and hbo are significantly worse with pretty much zero watchable content
- What features would make you switch from your current tool?
Native software. Certainly not anything browser based. No electron. No react. Software that understands color management. And actual animation tools, not onion strips - it is not 1970 anymore.
Try it out, break it, and tell us what you think.
Sorry i'm not even trying stuff that needs browser. I'm so very tired of it.
that is so ridiculous.
No thanks, it stinks.
I really love how they waste energy for stuff like this. Even better, all that nonsense talk we constantly kept hearing about energy crysis just a few years ago...
Using runways in browser seems a bit strange to me
Serverless? So it runs on... nothing?
Nothing, it is still disabled on all my devices as it always was and will be.
Why would we use something that makes us dumber and wastes our planet more than anything else.
Nah, I'll skip.
Windows becoming less and less relevant every day and then they do this. 2026 is gonna be true Year of the Linux Desktop.
You don't see that happening because you don't want to.
npm is written in javascript, not rust or c#.
yes, we should bring package manager back. if it is so awesome and solves some problem.
Because a lot of people have no clue about packaging or how to write compatible software, one that is actually installable as normal application. I suspect a lot of them learned stuff in node.js or ruby ecosystem first and this is the result. Same as requiring using docker to install or build an application. It isn't cool, funny or right way to do stuff. I still don't get what was so wrong about venv that anyone needed uv. I have no need to even try and i'm writing python stuff so long that i cannot even estimate it. To me it feels like reinvention for sake of rewrite in rust. If it is so good, ok, i get it, it might be - and all that good stuff needs to go back to python as python.
If so, ok, let's port this prototype to back to python and get rid of uv.
It unfucks nothing because it wasn't fuckd in the first place. Whole uv is solution to non existing problem.
