“the new API WILL require you to rethink your code” I recall we had roughly the same experience. Tried to use the OTA API that was rewritten and it was a disaster. The contributors…

“Stealing” implies they aren’t rightfully yours. Ownership of self determination, freedom etc are human rights, as is breathing clean air, or drinking clean water. We all are born …

There is a growing counter-tech neo luddite movement forming, and I think its going to get very large. At some point we need to step back and ask - why are we simply accepting tech…

Im not an expert in emissions testing but pretty sure it still needs CE certification testing. The module shouldnt cause any problems providing that the firmware for the transmitte…

This really just highlights the desperation OpenAI is facing right now. These controllers have existed forever - why the f would anyone buy this?

What a vomit burger. “Evil”exists everywhere, not just in your biases

Primarily anti AI. Also doesn't feel like my private repositories are both truly private, nor safe there anymore

As someone who has spent a vast portion of life believing technology would make life better, I've come to the realisation that this idea is a fallacy. Technology amplifies power an…

GitHubs AI usage policy was enough for me to leave. Sick of corporate overlords stealing everything from us. If it’s free - you are the product.

> That's vibecoding with an extra documentation step. This sounds like an LLM talking. Either you're a bot, or our human languages are being modified in realtime by the influence o…

What is unacceptable is how these technology companies steal the IP of collective humanity, gate keep it and force us to pay a subscription service to use it against each other in …

Im convinced its all planned to force users to upgrade. The “7 years of updates” selling point is just a trojan horse to install a newer iOS that makes the product run like garbage…

Maybe they can fix Messages from bugging out all the time. Apple software has gone down the drain. I don’t want a million new features I just want the ones that make a phone a phon…

Germany never thought it would be in the current situation - decaying health care, pension system, cornerstone industry in decline, lack of digitalization, the list goes on. Massiv…

Ah yes the perfect scapegoat to blame for your miserable life

> This is a moral failure of the highest order and it underscores, for me at least, that most of these faux-progressives' activism is purely performative. It is worse than that. Fa…

I switched to a T480 from a crappy macbook pro 2017. I enjoyed the switch to use linux fulltime but ultimately I was let down by the Intel processor that would throttle very badly.…

Musk has excellent products but I wouldn't give him a dime. I have no problem with conservative politics, but his flavour is well beyond that.

The hardware is very good, it can absolutely last 10 years and is miles ahead of competition - which pains me even more that the software degrades. I will eventually install linux …

Apple software has noticeably declined from my experience, both iOS and macOS. I find the lifecycle of Apple products to be offensively short, also. If I buy a product and the hard…

Exactly, panicking is a safer way to handle the situation rather than memory access violations

I find with C/++ I have to compile to find warnings and errors, while with Rust I get more information automatically due to the modern type and linking systems. As a result I compi…

> What sort of mindset is that? Its the mindset of neckbeards who don't realize its not the 1990’s anymore, that the landscape has changed significantly and people cannot protect t…

Love it when you make a statement that porn isnt harmful without referencing any studies, and then demand studies for people to prove it is harmful. You are the one who made the or…

Like with any new wave of technology, the masses try to ride the wave, however they can - either creating a spinoff company that will ultimately go bust, or spamming hn with blog p…
