    The title could've been shorter: don't use passkeys. Period.

    Numbers from Denmark and the Netherlands (the only two European countries where it's allowed to gather such statistics) show that non-EU immigration is a net cost to the society (a…

    I like claude models, but crush and opencode are miles ahead of claude code. It's a pity anthropic forces us to use inferior tooling (I'm on a "team" plan from work). I can use an …

    For me wayland offers only downsides, without any upsides. I feel the general idea behind it (pushing all complexity and work onto other layers) is broken. I'll stick to xorg and o…

    Based on my experiments with anthropic, openai and gemini, your codebase must be an unsalvageable nightmare by now.

    I sure hope another winter is on the way, the LLM hype wagon is beyond exhausting.

    Debian: The Universal Operating System, same as the past 25 years.

    I did some digging in the issues and PR's of pre-commit, the guy seems to be a major douche. Too bad, because uv is amazing. Might look at an alternative to pre-commit in the futur…

    You're falling into the false dichotomy that always comes up with these topics: as if the choice is between the cloud and renting rack space while applying your own thermal paste o…

    I don't use AI. Problem solved. The software I make will be better off in the long term.

    There is nothing python-2 about my python-3 dynamically typed code. I'm pretty confident a majority of new python code is still being written without type hints. Hell, python type …

    Couldn't agree more! I've been using Python for almost 20 years, my whole career is built on it, and I never missed typing. Code with type hints is so verbose and unpythonic, makin…

    I was using autojump for years (on debian) until I lost my jump history several times in the past few months. Turns out it's a known race condition bug fixed in a newer version: ht…

    I've been using Nvidia gpus exclusively on debian linux for the past 20 years, using the binary Nvidia drivers. Rock solid stability and excellent performance. I don't care for Way…

    Specifically: buy a good desktop computer. I couldn't imagine working on a laptop several hours per day (even with an external screen + keyboard + mouse you're still stuck with sub…

    No way an AI built tool is getting anywhere near my database.

    Comment #44861383

    I'm not using AI for anything. I read and write my own emails, make my own slides, write my own python code using vim, debian, openbox, bash and tmux, just as I have been for almos…

    I don't understand how you can have the patience to deal with an LLM like that. As if you're dealing with a low skilled but highly stubborn intern. Sounds like an awful waste of ti…

    I'm tired of LLM, period.

    Comment #44703300

    Any code that chatgpt or claude ever gave me was overly verbose and highly inefficient in the best case, and riddled with subtle or not so subtle bugs in the worst case. Before the…

    I'm long on no-AI becoming a label of quality, a badge of honor, as people are more exposed to the slop LLMs forces upon them. I want prose, music, photography and movies made by h…

    What worries me more is the steep decline in code quality. The python and javascript output I've seen the supposed best LLM's generate is inefficient, overly verbose and needlessly…
