It’s less the vibe coding and more: this is what happens when you have the developers do all the QA and fire the actual QA staff.
They’ve been screwing up the Windows updates since Windows 10, vibe coding wasn’t a thing at that point.
The NAND market is an effective monopoly that has been caught price fixing in the past. They desperately want to keep prices as high as they can so they tightly control supply to prevent having any excess product. This screws everyone over as soon as there’s a spike in demand that they failed to account for.
Instead of just keeping a consistent supply and allowing prices to drop from competition, we end up with a price rollercoaster that peaks every few years then crashes back down again. The severity is just higher than usual due to the higher demand from data centers.
The market desperately needs a new player that just consistently creates supply instead of playing stupid games, but the barrier to entry is too high.
I like GN but Steve is definitely a little smug at times, but he’s earned it considering how often he’s correct.
If I’m going to lose the main things I like about Android, like customizing things and installing my own software. Then yeah I would actually jump ship to the alternative because the chips are faster, the battery life is better, and the software would effectively be on par.
The point is that the jump would no longer be from a somewhat open platform to a closed one. It would be a jump from a closed platform to another closed platform.
It’s been long enough now that I can’t really remember off the top of my head. I want to say I started using Photoshop about a year or two after CS6 came out? And I would have been using GIMP for at least a few years prior to that before I had ever even seen the Photoshop UI.
Basically any TV out there you can get rid of the annoying post processing. But none of them are going to be that way out of the box.
I’ve used both Photoshop and GIMP, in fact I used GIMP first and that’s what I learned on. Then I tried Photoshop and it was immediately way more intuitive as to where things are and how the UI works, same with Affinity based on my little experience with it.
Older FOSS stuff tends to struggle quite a bit with UX, which makes sense cause it’s mostly programmers and not UI designers working on it.
Oh for sure, I’m never paying Adobe anything. More just speaking on some frustration that GIMP seems to be sitting in the exact same location it has been for so long.
I get where you’re coming from, but GIMP honestly just kinda sucks from a UX perspective nowadays. The core of the app seems to be fine, but it’s just not particularly intuitive to use compared to the commercial offerings.
Maybe that’ll change one day, but it really does feel like the interface has been the same for the past 15 years at least.
I’d generally agree, the industry itself seems to be high risk for exploitation because of the very nature of it.
Realistically though this isn’t going to help that much, most AI generated content that tries to look real ends up quite uncanny. So this is probably more likely to cannibalise some of the least problematic parts of the industry like digital art.
Right after I upgrade my omada setup…
It’s really quite insane, I’m from Canada and want a strong manufacturing industry here because it became clear during the pandemic that the manufacturing industry here is insanely anemic. The current admin however is just running on the most insane premise possible.
Crazy, it’s almost like just tariffs don’t make companies build in the destination country and you actually have to incentivize the choices you want those companies to make.
The supply chain for electronics is established in Asia, if you want to build in North America then you need to help ease the pain of the distance from that supply chain so people are actually interested in making a new one elsewhere.
This seems fair to be honest, the guy was CEO of Cadence while they were getting around export controls. Probably not a bad idea to check things out.
I’ve installed user scripts to replace the player with the normal one and used unlock to hide the feed in my subscriptions page. Did the same with revanced on my phone.
They’re just designed to be addictive, I wasn’t getting anything out of them.
Curseforge was developed by Curse and Twitch after their acquisition. Their ownership by Overwolf was after the app and website was already well established.
He didn’t ban news on their platforms in Canada. He disabled links to news platforms because the Canadian government passed a bizarre law that forced them to pay news agencies for the privilege of hot linking to them.
Fennec from fdroid, it’s just Firefox built from source
You can run a power clean cycle which should help, then just replace the foam pads they saturate with ink for the cleaning
They’re not perfect but they’re still the most consumer friendly option on the market at this point
It’s less the developer team that did it and more the shareholders and executive team that has turned the product to complete trash.
It’s so dumb, even with the AI stuff I wouldn’t care that much if it was just a new thing the OS could do if the rest of the thing was actually stable. But they seem to be allergic to doing some actual house cleaning and instead keep bolting things on.
The fact that the explorer can regularly completely freeze up nowadays or flat out crash is actually insane. That should be at the top of the priority list before anything else gets worked on. But instead they decided: let’s add a new keyboard shortcut to open a really laggy copilot chat interface.
