    This is a somewhat unpopular opinion here, however I do think flat UI can be done right and is well fitted to digital UIs. It's possible to have a flat style but have buttons that …

    I don't think that's right, professional cameras still use full sized SD cards.

    I don't think making a good product is enough. X is still prevalent despite Musk's actions both as a public person and as X's owner. The alternatives, be it Bluesky or Threads, are…

    A lot of these principles are totally transparent for the user. For example, emails are a complex system but users can sign up to any email service and send emails regardless of wh…

    The article explains what's needed to run something like Bluesky (ctrl-f "To be fully sovereign you need"). My understanding is that Eurosky aims to be a non-profit ran alternative…

    Do you have any good resources on how to work like that? I made the move from "auto complete on steroids" to "agents write most of my code". But I can't imagine running agents unch…

    I'm also team USB-C wired earbuds (the Apple ones are cheap and solid, mic is also nice for calls) for podcasts and commute. I never stopped using wired headphones at home but also…

    This depends heavily on your use case. I'd get rid of Windows entirely if I could. For most people I'd say MacOS is the most sane and plug and play experience. The email/browser/no…

    Musk is openly and heavy handedly messing with the recommendation algorithm to fit whatever views he wants to push. On top of that, he started paying people for their viral tweets,…

    I've been trying it out on MacOS for the past couple of weeks and I'm happy with it. I have a fairly vanilla use of my code editors and I find Zed snappier than VSCode. I have not …

    I think the people who like shipping quickly probably don't like building products in the first place and are looking for other aspects of entrepreneurship. A huge benefit I find i…

    The security issue is real and the main motivation behind decoupling from US cloud services. Export tarrifs aren't really a thing, particularly for software. Making US cloud more e…

    Trump's attitude motivated me to finally get away from Gmail. I tried several of the providers mentioned on this website and stuck with tuta.com. After almost a year, I'm very happ…

    It depends where you live. There's no one company that's implented in all European countries. All countries have a shop similar to Amazon (often with fewer sponsored products and l…

    I wish I found out about it earlier. Aerospace is a tiling window manager for MacOS. As someone who prefers keyboard navigation over mouse navigation, I can't recommend it enough.

    I use Bluesky to keep up with software development news. The ability to default to my "following" feed is a big plus. I mostly see software related stuff and the stream of posts is…

    $1B sounds huge, I don't understand what Disney has to gain. Is this only to have some control over the videos generated on Sora with their IP?

    I think it's good advice, the main difference is that Bsky encourages you to do that by giving you the possibility to customize your feeds (and set whatever as the default). You ca…

    Indeed. Attaching the link (of the correct page) of the documentation worked in this case but I would've been faster than the AI. LLM.txt has been hit or miss. Maybe I need to adap…

    That sounds crazy to me, Claude Code has so many limitations. Last week I asked Claude Code to set up a Next.js project with internationalization. It tried to install a third party…

    You could've stopped your sentence at "I don't know how a country filled with guns can survive." The main downside of abusing the words nazi and fascist is that it gives an out to …

    Fully agreed. I am however worried by the fact that Firefox is basically kept alive by Google. I assume it's just so that they can pretend Chrome isn't a monopoly, but the minute F…

    I've also made the move to Zen. I think Arc users will feel right at home there. It hasn't quite reached he same level of polish just yet but being in active development is a big p…

    > Their CEO seems to like trump As far as I know this is a "rumour" that stems from him mentioning his approval over one of Trump's cabinet pick. Saying he likes Trump is a stretch…

    Slight tangent but while this is bad with disclosed ads, I think it's even worse with algorithmic feeds. A lot of users don't realize that not only their feed is heavily personaliz…
