  • Its a hard choice because I do like the work they are doing and I like paying for the suite of tools all in one. But I feel like the tools are half baked and missing a ton of features which is to be expected by an up and coming company. I dont know if I should continue to support them to reach their goal or just move onto another company and delay having an strong competitor in the market. Them having half owner ship in a swiss non profit is pretty much the only thing giving me strong trust in the product not getting enshittified but with the crappy AI getting slapped in its testing my resolve.




  • This seems like more of a mistake than a sign of malicious or misaligned intention. Proton publish their stats about data requests, how many they comply with how many they fight and how many they win. They fight a majority of them probably more than most other companies.

    The CEO needs to go. His ‘republicans fight for the little guy’ comments are so toxic and will get brought up everytime something like this happens and its hard to trust a company that has that kind of a person running it.










  • Intel has its core ultra line up which improved its power usage a lot. This isnt great for intensive workloads because there is more efficeny cores and less preformance cores but its great for general everyday use on battery.

    When you’re plugged in power usage no longer matters so having an Intel CPU sucks because yoy are getting less preformance for your dollar.

    Also amd is more price to preformance and still has good battery life so you really do get the most value.



  • As a Linux user btw and a person who does not like LLM AIs I am trying to give the new tech a chance while im at work forced to use a windows laptop. First I gave Edge a fair shot and its just not as good as firefox and chrome it has 1 features i liked split view. I did not find much use for the sidebar AI and it fucked up most tasks I gave it. Now that Copilot is in the firefox sidebar I can go back to testing it and see if its gotten better since when i was last using edge.

    Suicidal take: Copilot is kinda useful I like having it available at the press of a button. I cant be fucked searching the internet for everything and its really useful to be able to get quick answers in the format i want. I would like to have Krunner with a fast response AI plugin on my system because windows copilot implementation is bad its only GenAI instead of providing hard functions like krunner.


  • There is no difference between sinking 10k hours into tetris, candy crush or csgo. I’d consider all to be gamers. But sinking 10k hours isnt casual. Someone who plays candy crush every day and is active in candy crush communities would be a gamer. But someone who has candy crush on their phone and plays every now and then for short periods and doesnt engage in anything else related to candy crush or gaming i would not consider to be a gamer.

    If someone wants to argue that the casual candy crush player is a gamer then I’ll let them have it and will need to make a new label because at that point its watered down beyond use. Gamer as a label is pretty cringe anyway so I doubt many are actually calling themself that.


  • So they aren’t actually getting excluded from games they just dont view themselves as gamers probaby because that label is cringe. I wouldn’t consider someone who casually plays mobile games to be a gamer either. Gamer isnt just anyone who play a games, it describes someone who embeds themselves in gaming communities and culture and engages gaming as a hobby. Same as going for a walk doesn’t make you a hiker.

    I play pc games often and wouldnt consider myself a gamer.
