VCFundedGenYer··on Android apps running native on macOS
There was a solution on macOS for quite some time (https://github.com/minecraft-linux/macos-builder/) but Apple is killing off the OpenGL frameworks to make it work.
VCFundedGenYer··on Android apps running native on macOS
Naming it Mac.apk is a poor choice. So it's Mac.apk.app?

Overall this repo has a lot of tells of a low quality LLM generated app. Many issues with data structuring, naming etc.

VCFundedGenYer··on Flatpak – An Insecurity Nightmare
Flatseal is the answer.

This article is too wordy and too rambling. The resolution is there.

VCFundedGenYer··on macOS 15.8.2 Breaks OpenGL
macOS isn't FOSS - the devs should be testing + not asking users to do their job.
VCFundedGenYer··on Linux 7.3
Beware - this was Torvalds' fever dream of suddenly discovering vibe coding and unleashing it on the kernel like a five year old with candy.

Expect catastrophic problems. There is likely a lot of slop in the code now + testers already found race conditions.

Torvalds' behavior in the past few weeks has been alarming.

VCFundedGenYer··on How Far Will AI Assistants Go for a Refund They Can't Get?
Questions or thoughts like this are why AI/LLMs are pariahs and are banned from accessing anything.
VCFundedGenYer··on Personal software factories are a waste of time
> non-devs are applying AI in mind blowing ways and you still haven't built shit.

Excuse you, I am not impressed by non devs vibeslopping things that barely function or are riddled with security vulnerabilities with unreadable code.

I guess we are not the same.

VCFundedGenYer··on PalmOS Lemmings
Palm OS, not PalmOS.

Let's not forget nor confuse history.

VCFundedGenYer··on Gen Z Is the First Generation Dumber Than Their Parents
Not to mention football results in head injuries and degradation of intelligence and brain function.
VCFundedGenYer··on Gen Z Is the First Generation Dumber Than Their Parents
This is an inauthentic, non-genuine, biased, and mean spirited article.

An entire generation is not "dumber" due to some test with an invalid sample size.

I was told as a millennial we were lazy, have no initiative, are dumb, spend money on lame things, etc. I have two master's degrees, you can shut up.

This data is just wrong.

VCFundedGenYer··on Chrome and Edge are removing XSLT: what breaks and what does not
Firefox user here, don't care.

Chromium browser happenings are just nonsense.

VCFundedGenYer··on The game industry is broken – can we fix it?
Using Tim Sweeney (Aka "I AI-slopped a games launcher that doesn't work but think it's better than Steam" guy) as the poster child for this is precisely the wrong way to answer that question.
VCFundedGenYer··on Kids are outsmarting social media bans. That's not a problem we need to solve

VCFundedGenYer··on Development statistics for the 7.2 kernel
They are also now vibe coding the kernel which is a major issue. Race conditions were already found in one of the slop suggestions. Linus is apparently fine with this degradation in quality.

New leadership is needed over there.

VCFundedGenYer··on Why Math Dumped OpenAI
When big tech people who don't know what they're talking about come in and ruin your field of study or interest, it's not surprising that said tech will become a pariah.

This is yet another failing of AI.

VCFundedGenYer··on I Love Software Rendering
Sonic Mania (2017) actually uses software rendering to give it that retro look and feel.
VCFundedGenYer··on My old job feels distant now
Can't relate at all. AI is only in your life if you let it.

I work 90% without AI, and don't plan to integrate it any further. It's an overhyped and overrated tech that will die out soon.

VCFundedGenYer··on Tesla Roadster
Oh look, not street legal.

Fun demo, never will see the road. There's a billion ways this can kill scores of people instantly.

VCFundedGenYer··on Ubuntu 26.10 (Stonking Stingray) released
Ubuntu is like the Windows Vista of Linux. Bloated, loaded with a bunch of questionable software, some mystery-box proprietary duds like Snap, and sometimes ads and bad behavior by the parent org. Also hit-or-miss performance.
VCFundedGenYer··on Ubuntu 26.10 (Stonking Stingray) released
Linux Mint is the go-to distro. It’s default branch is Ubuntu based but they also have a “Debian Edition” which IMO works fantastic as Debian with a great UI.
VCFundedGenYer··on Why We're Banning AI
A lot of people have AI psychosis and are so deeply obsessed they can't imagine anyone would be against AI.

These folks will need some serious deprogramming in a few years.

VCFundedGenYer··on What I self-host
I stared self hosting in 2020 when Raspberry Pis were super cheap (not anymore :( ) and lots of things started becoming available in Docker. Haven't ever considered going back to the cloud. I love taking back full control.
VCFundedGenYer··on Wayland desktop for Linux with skeuomorphic design
> Discoverability? Who needs it?

Most "flat" designed modern apps fail miserably at discovery. Most hide things in hamburger menus or require weird random swipes in odd directions with zero visual indicators.

VCFundedGenYer··on Linus Torvalds's first LLM-assisted patch series
This is incredibly disappointing. The things he's saying is damaging his supporter base in an irreparable fashion.

Linus' behavior is reprehensible.

VCFundedGenYer··on Americans' social activity has steeply declined in the past 30 years
So it's basically Rush's "Working Man" - "So I get home at five o'clock and I take myself out an ice-cold beer. Always seem to be wond'rin' Why there's nothin' goin' down here. It seems to me I could live my life a lot better than I think I am. I guess that's why they call me...They call me the workin' man"

(and this goes back farther than 30 years. Closer to 50 now)

VCFundedGenYer··on Containment and monitoring failures are to blame for AI hacking reports: experts
That is not correct. AI is not capable of "going rogue" - that is all marketing and FUD.

The only failings here are boring security and infosec blunders.

VCFundedGenYer··on Passkeys Are Not a Trap
Passkeys are confusing, fragmented, awkward, and annoyingly implemented. They aren't a trap, but they are far less efficient and less proven than a password and app-based MFA.
VCFundedGenYer··on Scientists wonder: Is my AI stealing my ideas?
If you have to ask, the answer is yes. Betteridge's Law.
VCFundedGenYer··on The Dock on Mac, from OS 10 to macOS 27
Macs were at their absolute peak with 10.6 Snow Leopard. Unfortunately Apple badly ruined it with the iOSification update that was 10.7 Lion, with things getting worse and worse from there.
