This! This is exactly why I can't understand the AI mental health stuff about it being demotivating. I find it exciting to build apps in the same way, I don't pump out apps like a machine gun, but I do manage to make high quality

Not CLI commands but system calls. Technically, in that sense, both commands and desktops abstract system calls. It's just that desktops handle a lot more than individual commands, aiming to make it easier for the user to use the compu

You could also say the same with desktops. Desktops abstracted CLI commands like mv or ls. People who are taught on desktops will get scared when they see a terminal. Yet programmers will still know commands. Abstractions can make things ea

They cover Anubis if you scroll a bit up: > POWBlock is ~1/60th the size of Anubis, has ~7x higher performance on an 8-core benchmark machine, gives you full customization... Anubis is still more worth it just because it is open sou

Guitar Hero is a "rhythm game", perhaps calling it a "guitar simulator" is a bit incorrect. A rhythm game is one where you, for example, push buttons in tune with a song, exactly what Guitar hero is. So you are good at d

Except Guitar Hero is a game, and is marketed as such. Guitar Hero is like Bitcoin mining, you are doing useless computations to make some number go up, in the case of Bitcoin, your money, and Guitar Hero, your score. But AI actually does s

It's not impossible to skew an LLM into a specific style of writing, one to reflect the author's intentions. I think that LLMs made everything easier, as in, lowered the barrier. With that, comes a natual inscentive to be lazy, an

I use Rethink DNS for this, see ( https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app ). Despite it's name it can also block IPs and specific apps from connecting to specific servers. I use it to block all manufacturer and OEM r

At least you can disable it; on some phones (especially Chinese phones) you cannot do anything to the system services, they intercept all app requests, essentially what Google did but with their system. The only recommendation I can give yo

I think it might be a good idea to pause updates on our Android devices, as horrible as it is for security just to prevent this from happening. My OEM has a lot of bloat (Facebook and other junk apps you can't uninstall, useless system

I'm not saying Linux phones are junk, but if you want more people to adopt these phones you do need "easier" solutions. Not everyone will want a cron job alarm. Because if we leave linux phones in their current state then get

You just proved my point. > Nowadays people hardly answer unknown numbers or might ignore inconvinient calls. So your phone does make calls and it is useful but you don't want to use it nowadays NOT because the technology is useless

Linux phones exist but work on a limited number of devices (see PostMarketOS) or Linux primary devices like Purism or Pinephone (which I've heard are expensive). That's the primary issue, you either need to buy an expensive and po

But really, blaming AI (software) for this is a similar situation to "old man yells at cloud". The software didn't want more RAM. AI companies did. Not to mention that RAM companies may have purposely raised prices and blamed
