Has a anyone run this on Fedora or similar yet? From the readme it sounds like it could work but I've been surprised before and I can't find a discussion about it.

I've always wondered, is there a way to visually preview the partials and whole pages? I'm used to modern niceties such as hot reload with Tailwind that I'd like to have with HTMX, which I'm looking for excuses to try.

Makes one ponder how there really is no moat. If this rolls out as implied, it is immediately easy to switch providers, and I will.

That Motorola phone that lets you install Graphene can not come soon enough. Pixel phones are not sold worldwide so it feels like they're gatekeeping security. I know that's not the case really, but there's very few ways to successfully degoogle otherwise.

Seeing this literally after my foldable full on broke through the axle after not even half a year makes me concerned for Apple

I spell it KDE but it might be regional variance (:

The bill applies to digitally sold games. However, it excludes games provided via subscription services, free-to-play games, and games that are inherently playable offline indefinitely. It also prohibits the continued sale or distribution of games that have become unusable due to service termination.

I believe this is the key paragraph. I wonder if this will be an incentive towards making more games qualify for those exceptions. I think the previous cases where this act would apply are few but good thing they wouldn't increase under this act.

Another LLM tell is that they penalize repetition so they'll use as many synonyms as possible. You may end up recognizing the same concept being rehashed with synonyms constantly. You can look up examples of thie as "elegant variation"

The page itself seems vibecoded and a bit of an advertisement, but it does look like the vulnerability is real and high risk. It does explain the big security update I just got, guess I'll prioritize updating today.

Not much, as it only works on very few high end phones not sold in most countries. Hopefully their Motorola partnership will expand its availability but I'm not confident that'll happen anytime soon.

This has been the worst upgrade so far. Claude Code had been doing great for months, then the past week took a nosedive. And today I find that _continuing_ a session from yesterday that had nothing to do with cybersecurity (literally pasted a stacktrace from a rare crash and told it to help me find a reproduction case to be able to fix it, as we very regularly did) suddenly ran afoul of usage policies and stopped the chat entirely. It's kind of a joke phrase by now, but in this case it's 100% serious, such behavior has made Claude Code literally unusable.

As a bonus, it somehow ate my entire daily allotment in a single prompt, something which had never happened before. I'll try again on Monday and if there's no change cancel my subscription outright and demand a refund.

That was my immediate impression too! It feels like it's all AI maximalists who seem to have a need to filter their every interaction through an LLM. And the result looks and reads just like Moltbook.

“It is particularly painful that I made precisely the mistake I have repeatedly warned colleagues about: these language models are so good that they produce irresistible quotes you are tempted to use as an author. Of course, I should have verified them. The necessary ‘human oversight’, which I consistently advocate, fell short.”

What? Irresistible quotes? This betrays a terrible way of thinking as a journalist. Basically an admission of wanting to fake news that'd sound good. At that point just write fiction.

If I end up using ChatGPT for any reason, I always preface with something like "2 sentences maximum. No emojis. Be professional." at the very least. It tends to improve things a bit.

I took something away from this article. While I enjoyed Blue Prince very much even though I played it alone, the surprisingly most enjoyable aspect of the game came externally - it was (and is) following my friends' journey through the game and being there to give them custom made consensual spoiler-free, hints when they needed. Some times simply being told you're barking up a very wrong tree or that you don't have enough information yet is exactly what you need to not get burnt out. I keep wondering if there's a way to have that baked into the game. Something to brainstorm.

Wait what? Really? All caps is a bannable offense? That should be in all caps, pardon me, in the terms of use if that's the case. Even more so since there's no support at the highest price point.

There's links on the homepage to the soundtrack and credits, the artist is called Synthenia.

I'm amazed at the amount of work and love that's in this game, that you can play for free. I hope it helps more devs get into the retro scene!

I would honestly have stayed in version 6 of Nova because of the as yet unrecreated magical feature of allowing unread count badges on the home screen for many popular apps, that are not tied to notifications, via TeslaUnread. I've been trying to reverse engineer it a bit to see if I can recreate the functionality somehow, but all I've managed to figure out is that the icons are really widgets that look like icons and run _something_.

Features like that one, and browser text reflow, are such must haves to me that we used to have a decade ago and lost along the way for no good reason, it's frustrating.

If an iPhone is going to be as bad as an Android like that then what's the point. The "premium" feeling is eroded like this.

Anyone makes a PR, there's a vote and highest voted one gets merged every week. It's marvelous.

The "and _algorithms_" part of it even sounds like a parody.

Win <= 10 had left side taskbars so that should actually be a plus. I didn't quickly update to Win 11 because of it being in the middle really, then because of the ads, then swore off it because of the AI stuff so in the end it kind of helped that they messed up the UI.

Same here, now running Fedora KDE but with an Nvidia card it is exceedingly buggy. Doing a single system update the normal way made the kernel version unbootable. I also had some (I suspect) OOM related full freezed that forced me to hard shut off the computer. The UX is really that good though when things work.

What bugs me the most about nearly everyone selling AI products is that they apparently want or need to believe in the power of LLMs for everything, not just the product, and this means that they also generate the explanatory texts and descriptions and readmes and... it makes the product itself feel of a much worse quality.

I don't mind that you're selling an AI product if it's good but at least put some humanity on the marketing side.

I had to install the app to try and work around a problem with Steam, and then had the same problems just browsing. You can probably disable that behavior, but I ended up just uninstalling the app entirely.

The support experience was so bad that I got really soured on Valve, and can't even get excited for these announcements now.

It's like they want people to bypass Windows 11 altogether. I've finally bit the bullet and gone to Linux recently. Certainly dying by 512 cuts and counting, not for the faint of heart, but I'm surprised at how much of my daily usage I've been able to replicate. I'd say 80% of life works, unlike previous attempts.

I was surprised not to see the one I use daily, Brief. Maybe it's not on Chrome or something, but it hasn't failed me in like decades.

Love this. I seem to find a new one every day maintaining an Android app with millions of users. We like to call them "what will we tell the kids" moments. It's a great idea to write them down, I'll probably start doing it!

We're closer than we were before!
