Hello. I have a non-existing website at https://thomasbergheim.com and I like emacs

bergheim··on Restrooms along the Norwegian Scenic Routes
Somewhat relevant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47207284

Lots of shit coming out of Norway lately.

bergheim··on DeepSeek-v4.1-Flash-1017
Things in the OPEN?!

Assange, Snowden, Manning, just three of many and the massive things that came from that? And god knows what Musk & friends are up to.

Talk about being completely brainwashed by the US narrative and oblivious of recent history.

bergheim··on macOS 15.8.2 Breaks OpenGL
Who cares about opengl or d3d or hell even apis or standards in general at this point.

Apple has a trillion dollars a second to spend on tokens, I'm sure they can manage. Same for the others. Create your own.

bergheim··on Will Linux phones become a viable alternative to the Android/iOS duopoly?
> I mean, it took Linux more than 30 years to come somewhat close to the desktop experience Windows has been given us.

LOL. Linux has been superior since about y2k.

But sure, enjoy your banners.

bergheim··on Bez: Generating a browser engine from specs and tests
> I guess my hope is that while this may be the case now, perhaps it won’t be eventually.

I hear you brother. I, too, hope that one of the two or three companies will be able to improve and displace everything. Who needs Linux anyway.

Hope you are on the right side of the fence.

bergheim··on I am done with this shit
I was taken immediately here https://safereddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1wm5c21/i_am_done...

I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/

bergheim··on Verda (Finland) raises $189M in Series B
Them putting services in EU (even as subsidiaries) is just a marketing strategy where they are straight up lying to customers so they can get more money.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act

bergheim··on Chrome again exempts Google from user site data settings
I hate $THING Firefox does, and I'll complain about it, and I will use $CHROMIUM browser and not complain about that for some reason!
bergheim··on If coding has been solved, why does software keep getting worse?
That has been there since at least KDE 3 and I do agree, I remember learning about that feature. 400 years ago and still chefs kiss.
bergheim··on Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta warn against overregulating open-weight models
Wow, imagine that they would say that, so strange, the ones without a skin in the game except for yay open source models!

The world would be better off without these three companies, how about that.

bergheim··on Zig Creator Calls Spade a Spade, Anthropic Blows Smoke
what I don't understand is, given the anthropic narrative, why on earth rewrite bun to rust, and not claude code to rust? why use typescript at all when the whole point is that languages don't matter anymore? I suppose it is solely because it would be a bad look on them to rewrite claude itself - it means they failed - but rewriting bun is a much better narrative - claude is fine! it's just his runtime we need fixing. and here is that token heavy story!

so weird people are not commenting on this.

it's like.. I dunno, rewrite linux in rust, because bun uses glibc, this will somehow make it better, so claude code somehow can run better?

hell, start with UEFI.

bergheim··on Grok 4.5
love that you somehow think that the other contenders are so much more trustworthy (and you have the top comment so others do as well) that you have to comment on it.
bergheim··on Claude Fable 5
I know he is an AI influencer that promotes his blog any chance he gets.

I agree as well that he writes many interesting things.

bergheim··on Claude Fable 5
Anyone care about these pelicans that always come up anymore?

Clearly at this point they are part of the training data.

They even all look sort of ish the same. Daytime, colors,...

bergheim··on Stop Advertising in Your Commits
Same with eggdrop.

Speaking of; why the names?

bergheim··on My I3-Emacs Integration
after 30 years you say this? this cannot be serious.
bergheim··on The quiet renovation at Bitwarden
Correct, that was my point
bergheim··on The quiet renovation at Bitwarden
> That’s not a software guy who happened to raise some money. That’s someone whose stated specialty is the PE integration and exit process.

Holy smokes has that's not just -> THAT IS become one of my trigger words.

bergheim··on I Moved My Digital Stack to Europe
Second paragraph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act
bergheim··on Bun's experimental Rust rewrite hits 99.8% test compatibility on Linux x64 glibc
Not sure if ghostty is the best example https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-memory-leak-fix
bergheim··on Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent
Curious how this thread would have been if Firefox did that.
bergheim··on Anthropic Joins the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Patron
Why do we need that?

Art should demand more of the creator than the person experiencing it.

The alternative is 9 billion who cares slop things.

bergheim··on Claude Opus 4.7
Curious why you think that? Stuff like

> Yes, there is a relative scale level...

> Yes, having the smartest model will...

> yes Chinese AI companies have ...

yes yes yes, I didn't say anything, why write in a way that insinuates that I was thinking that?

I mean it doesn't come off as AI slop, so that's yay in 2026. But why do you think it is so good?

bergheim··on France Launches Government Linux Desktop Plan as Windows Exit Begins
This comment was wildly invalid even years ago.

See proton, heroic launcher, etc, etc.

Cyberpunks own benchmarking suite runs 30% faster (for whatever reason; my wintendo install is stock and nothing but nvidia drivers) on the ntfs windows partition on Arch.

bergheim··on Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
Oh the billion bollar vc backed pre ipo companys story was this? Omg and they somehow are not delivering up to your standards? Damn they better get their act together lest people like you will whine on twitter about them losing their way
bergheim··on Jury finds Meta liable in case over child sexual exploitation on its platforms
What is so fucked up about this is that THEIR WHOLE RAISON D'ÊTRE is knowing more about you than you do.

You think they need this to know your age? Your gender? Your home, your birthplace, your political stance?

bergheim··on Epic Games to cut more than 1k jobs as Fortnite usage falls
Everybody says this. It's so weird.

How on earth will epic win without exclusives? It's like launching some Facebook competitor "but you get two profile pictures". Noone would switch.

All these geeks singing steam and lamenting competition. Competition bad for me mkay, steam good.

/me shakes head

bergheim··on Opera: Rewind The Web to 1996 (Opera at 30)
If you use an extension like vimium, you get this by using the standard [[ and ]] vim motions for this.

Also, using the keyboard for navigation, while it sounds like a chore, is really quite excellent, and I prefer it to the mouse, as crazy as that might sound.

bergheim··on Astral to Join OpenAI
Given their statements, influencers and indeed their raison d'être I don't understand why this and bun was acquired? Why did they not just Ralph loop it? Claude is famously not made by humans anymore.

One prompt and call it a weekend. Surely they have the compute.

Oooooh, right.

Same reason we don't have windows 41 either.

bergheim··on Java 26 is here
Right because golang is like 2 years old and new o.O
