Quick poll so I know if I'm the crazy one, does anyone else NOT disabled their ad blocker and just not read the article? Even though I'm interested to know apple's reasons for taking my 99 USD and then thinking it's okay

I agree that nobody cares enough. When was the last time you read anything good or promising about any of these sites - bot related or otherwise? but they persist because of a snowball of your network using it and then we feel fomo. The onl

My linux gaming experience has left me with a wierd irony... I have been stealing windows for the last 25 years and never ever felt like i owed M$ a cent. Now after totally switching to free stuff i suddenly feel (not in a bad way at all)

Not a programmer (accountant here) and thanks to Github copilot in VSCode, I was able to make the app I couldn't find. It's been a super fun hobby over the last 6 or 7 months, especially hosting it myself and my only cost now is A

This is coming across as the "hobby police" here telling everyone what they can and can't do... I'm sure it wasn't meant that way but it reads that way. The airplane company wont let you vibe code their systems any

Recently launched my free app for gardeners to share plants with each other, Plantshare. Now I'm working on a few changes to the app, most notable is moving any plants marked as 'for sale' out from the main section because it

That's like asking how do you convince people you dug a hole without using a shovel... who cares what tools were used unless you're in some kind of game with such rules. the shovel is just a tool and it didn't dig the hole, y

I agree with this, break it down further. When instructing it to execute the plan, i would even have it only execute step 1, then you review. then step 2, review and so on. this prevents it from going down a rabbit hole and you can adjust t

True, it's called Treasure Island because of all the stolen treasure it holds.. but jokes aside (shouldn't be a joke) i'm going to have a friend pick up one for me in UK and send it over to ZA where pricing is so so much wor
