For real, it's been the most validating of my use-open-source ethos than any other examples I can think of! For this open source isn't about the cost, it's about the vendor dependence/neutrality, and that's quite i

In principle, I would agree, however, the types of comments Claude writes are sometimes absurd. It will leave a 25 line comment above a variable talking about how in a debug session, it turned out that this value was too low, so it was incr

Do your apps do anything with security? I can't hardly use Fable on our authentication service because it constantly trips up and refuses to write tests. Even just doing a security review usually triggers opus.

You don't think that regulation would require everyone to embed watermarks and guids to make sure that nothing objectionable is being generated or created?

I am beyond excited about this! Very cool. When Google acquired motorola, I was excited at the possibilities. When they sold Motorola off, I thought it a deeply unfortunate move. With this announcement though, I am now seeing it in a very p

This is a meta comment, but I just wanted to thank you for your engagement and insight that you've shared throughout these threads. I personally get a ton of value out of it and really appreciate it!

I haven't tried using Wade Droid on a phone, but on a fedora desktop it is a little bit rough. It takes a lot of finagling to get anything that requires Google services running, and that is a surprisingly huge amount of apps that peopl

How is the crease on the flip? On some of the foldables like the samsung's, the crease is pretty noticeable and for me it bothers my OCD a little bit. I love the idea of a foldable though

In that I fully agree, but the reason it has to be at a fast pace is because when Google adds things to chrome, developers will use them and don't have to care enough about market share. I think unless Firefox gains enough market share

Like many here, I think Mozilla has done a terrible job managing their money and they are largely to blame for the pickle they are in. However, I don't see who picks up the reigns if Mozilla dies. Like it or not, Firefox is essential

I'm not usually one to defend Microsoft, but since Teams works great in a browser, I actually prefer it that way. My video conference doesn't need access to my whole filesystem and an opacity layer that prevents me from seeing wh
