Because I want to spend less time online. Consuming things like comments gives my brain a false sense of social participation. It uses up my limited "social participation budget", …

I'm hoping that something like this can condense a 1000+ comments thread to couple of paragraphs at most.

That is exactly what I want. A boring but factual summary of useful nuggets from the mountain of shite that is ALL of social media. For example, on any given day, reddit/X/Bluesky/…

Kinda looking forward to something like this, as it has the potential to remove empty junk calories from the internet, hopefully leading to SIGNIFICANTLY less use of today's popula…

These would be more helpful if it were illustrated with a real example/session transcript. Virtually none of these workflows move past vague descriptions; not sure if I should read…

Do you mean Claude Code? If so, that's what I use(d) primarily for development, and Claude Desktop for general chats. My issue with Opus was that, every time I start a new task in …

I'm considering $20/month variants only. I've had a Claude subscription for the past year, although I only really started properly using LLMs in the past couple of months. With Opu…

Almost everything described in the post, amounts to a few hours in total in a given year to do "manually". I agree, there isn't compelling value (yet). What's puzzling to me is tha…

Yeah, the fact that Europe hasn't been able to develop another OS in the last few months/years is proof that nothing can change. Stop trying and wasting time; any effort in this di…

The landscape has completely shifted now; now more than ever, there's a real need for Europe to pivot from relying too much on an adversary.

I’m in the market for buying two new fridges for our new house; this post reminded me to filter out Samsung immediately. I LOATHE ads.

> We'll keep support for MV2 extensions for as long as possible I can maybe overlook it being based on chromium, but I don't want to migrate to a new browser and have to migrate ag…

...worse overall experience... Worse how? RAM, SSD and main board can be upgraded as an when needed, which is the point. I like Framework's aesthetics more than MacBook already, an…

I don't own a Framework (yet), as I don't believe its the right product for me at this stage. I can't afford to get caught out without battery when out and about. What attracts me …

Battery life is the only thing stopping me from getting out of the Apple ecosystem. As soon as a viable Linux laptop with "enough" battery life becomes available, I'll make the swi…

This is disappointing from DHH. He tends to carry a lot of criticism online, and based on my exposure to his ideas in long form media, I tend to agree with him more than not. Howev…

If this leads to lower quality videos, due to change in incentives, for certain segments, then I would consider it a WIN for users. For the portion of users for whom the lower qual…

Rhetorical: What does it say about America that a large portion of its citizens (assuming OPs feelings are not unique) fear being a victim of genocide? Can't say I've met anyone fr…

I generally recognise utility of AI, but on this particular point, it has been a net negative if I were to add up the time I wasted by believing a summarised answer, got some lengt…

I can’t read any text on homepage with iOS Safari as first few characters/words of each sentence is cut off. Text justification is different on different pages. Vertical spacing an…

I'm curious where this ends up going. Personally I think its a mistake; at least at "team" level. One of the most valuable things about a software or framework dictating how things…

Its early days. Agree with your point that the "vision" of the future laid out by tech people doesn't have much of a chance of becoming (accepted) reality, because its necessarily …

With (most) note taking systems, you’re supposed to periodically “clean house/review”, which among other things, avoids the problem you’re describing. I don’t do it often myself tb…

Honestly, its mind boggling. Am I the worst prompter ever? I have three python files (~4k LOC total) that I wanted to refactor with help from Claude 4 (Opus and Sonnet) and I follo…

This issue doesn't get enough attention; apart from the obvious implications on bad UX, I find myself losing interest in a project after realising its broken in so many subtle and …
