LLMs are far more flexible in what you can create, opening up many niche use cases for non programmers (or those with very limited programming experience).

For example, I use LLMs for one specific thing, making plugins for an app I use (which need to be written in javascript/typescript). No code tools wouldn't be of any use to me here.

No code tools put you in a box that limits what you can create, whereas LLMs allow you to code pretty much anything (though of course how far you can get does depend on having at least some technical ability/knowledge).

in antigravity gemini sometimes inserts its CoT directly into code comments lol

its so easy to accidentally hit enter though lol, I usually type larger prompts in my notes and copy paste then finished

Blanket statements; what are they good for? Nothing

it's better than at launch, but I still get random model response errors in anti-gravity. it has potential, but google really needs to work on the reliability.

It's also bizarre how they force everyone onto the "free" rate limits, even those paying for google ai subscriptions.

yeah I've been getting better results with codex (gpt5) vs claude

if only gemini cli could edit files without getting stuck in an infinite loop

While joplin's notes are stored in a database, they are still markdown files

I think firefox is going to end up like Opera

lack of investment in gecko and dropping marketshare of firefox will result in more and more compatibility issues over time (which further accelerates dropping marketshare), until they're eventually forced to become another chromium based browser

You likely ran into this issue, which is a bug with onedrive itself: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/11489#issuecommen...

there will be a failsafe implemented for that issue in version 3.3

personally, I recommend using the s3 sync with cloudflare r2, it's faster than onedrive and it's pretty hard to exceed cloudflare's free tier

You can do this with the built in backup plugin. In the plugin's settings, set the backup frequency as desired, and then click advanced settings and change the backup format from jex to markdown + frontmatter

old.reddit.com works

> Honest question, what should they be paid? Its purely manual labor, there is not much if anything to innovate or be creative. The output is fairly binary, clean or not clean. I am all for fair wages but how do we know if $10 is the right price or too low?

Have you ever worked as a dishwasher? It may not be complicated, but it's hard work.

It's not usually just washing dishes either, you're expected to help all around the kitchen.

And if the pastry chef quits in the middle of service, or if some waitstaff doesn't show up for the night, you might find yourself suddenly doing another job with no training (and no extra pay either), while still having to wash the dishes at the same time.

I work in IT these days, and honestly my Job is way easier and less stressful than when I washed dishes.

> - Netflix will only send you "high quality" (over 720p) streams on certain browsers (IE on windows, Safari on OSX, ???? on Linux) that support Encrypted Media Extensions.

It's not only netflix that does this, all of the streaming services do (though some of them limit to 1080p instead of 720p).

Such an utterly pointless anti-piracy measure... every show ends up on torrents in 4k regardless, only serves to punish those actually paying for the service.

I disagree, IMO the main reason they lost so much marketshare to chrome was because for a long time, chrome just was much faster and much more stable. Performance, stability, and compatibility is all that matters to most users.

Firefox (mostly) caught up with quantum and process isolation on the desktop, but by then I think it was too late. And the android version still has horrible performance, stability, and compatibility compared to Chromium browsers.

Mozilla just doesn't have the same engineering resources to poor into the browser that google does, so I'm not sure there's any way they can really maintain pace with google outside of becoming yet another chromium browser.

Samsung S24 has 7 years as well

same here with edge on windows 11

There's also fetchfetch: https://github.com/Blobadoodle/fetchfetch

laptops in general (not just apple) are way better than they used to be

Fragmented infrastructure benefits no one. Imagine if you could only fill up your ICE vehicle at shell stations because of your vehicle's brand.

Fragmentation of the charging infrastructure puts a hard limit on EV adoption, they will never replace ICE vehicles unless the infrastructure becomes as ubiquitous as gas stations.

I had a pixel 4a and currently have a 5a and never had any issues

Firefox has a really poor implementation of multi-profile compared to chrome though. There's no built in way to create shortcuts for each profile, no profile switcher icon on the toolbar, etc... Not to mention how much of a PIA it is to get windows to pin multiple firefox shortcuts for different profiles to your taskbar and get them to behave properly.

Edge's multi-profile support blows them both out of the water though, with the ability to right click tabs and move them between profiles, automatically open links for certain domains in certain profiles, being able to set a default profile for external links, etc...

How is it not a threat?

> - Unending distractions

I think this bullet point belongs under cons of working in the office. I have FAR less distractions working from home.

Yeah I find it baffling that they didn't just do this

Users will definitely notice when their favorite subreddits suddenly go to crap under the tenure of the new puppet-mods.

honestly, I don't think it would happen again even if a platform did rise to that level of marketshare

see: Voat

what apps did you try? I use RIF (reddit is fun) and it's much better than the official app. The UI is much cleaner (looks like a proper mobile version of the 'old' reddit) with much better information density.

For me the advantages are:

1. Doesn't use Java

2. Simpler/Quicker to configure

3. More modern webui (though I recently found a good desktop subsonic client, sonixd which somewhat negates this)

Also, I haven't used the airsonic fork, but I was using subsonic before switching to navidrome

I found subsonic to be rather... unreliable. once in a while the database would randomly become corrupted and I'd have to delete the database files and start over. I haven't had any such problems with navidrome, it's been rock solid.
